The town of Goderich will be embarking
on an ambitious bank stabilization pro-
gram with the Maitland Valley Con-
servation Authority over the next several
years.
At its December 10 meting, council en-
dorsed a motion authorizing , in principle,
a long-term shoreline protection strategy
for the town.
The project, utilizing the silt from the
harbour dredging project, may create an
area in excess of 25 acres south of the
water treatment plant. Representatives of
the MVCA suggest that the clay and silt
from the harbour deredging project could
be dumped in the area south of the water
plant to create a 26 -acre beach area.
The proposal was borne out of the
MVCA's study of bluff stabilization along
an 18 km. stretch of shoreline. The crea-
tion of the relaimed area, contained by a
retaining wall, would aid in stabilizing the
bluff area on the southern edge of town.
The federal government is also willing to
dump the clay and silt material from the
harbour in the area.
While it won't be that costly to transport
and dump the material, the cost of a re-
taining wall is estimated at $1 million.
MVCA authorities said the projectwould
be subject to about 85 per centtgrants with
the town having to produce $150,000 for the
project.
The project will be. phased over three or -
four years but 10 to 15 per cent of the
dredging could be completed in the next
calendar year.
The motion of council calls flu the
authority to obtain approvals from the pro-
vince for funding; the town would con-
tribute $3,750 to the design engineering
costs of the project and that the town
would proceed in phases with the shoreline
protection project as outlined by the
MVCA, pending municipal funding as
determined at budget time.
Don Wheeler, council's representative
on the authority, will be council's
representative on the shoreline project.
Both the provincial and federal govern-
ments will conduct environmental
assessments of the projects and no doubt,
water quality will be a concern.
Did not run for
vice-chairman
A story in last week's edition, of the
Signal -Star outlined the inaugural session
of the Huron -Perth Separate School Board
and the election of , chairman and vice- L
chairman.
Ronald Marcy -of Stratford was elected
chairman of the board for 1985 defeating
Tim McDonnell and past vice-chairman,
Mike Moriarity.
The story suggested Vincent McInnes
was elected vice-chairman of the board,
defeating both McDonnell and Moriarity.
However, Moriarity did not seek re-
election as vice-chairman of the board.

Electrical
fee increased
Ontario Hydro has approved an average
five per cent fee increase for electrical in-
spections, effective January 1.
"The increase is due to a general rise in
costs," Manager of Electrical Inspection, .
Jack Dicker, said. "This is the first time
we've raised fees since July, 1982."
The increase affects all inspections for
residential, commercial and industrial in-
stallations.
The cost to inspect a typical single family
residence will go up about $3 to $72 under the
new fee structure, Dicker said.
