esire to w

Harbour plans
. in Goderich, it was under the
management of R.F. Mancill, vice-
president and treasurer.
Things were beginning to take
shape for the port town of Goderich
and as the new road building
equipment manufacturer set up
operations here, the town was also
planning the newest and most
modern public school in the area;'
today known as Victoria Public
School. Every effort was taken to
guarantee that the interior was
arranged along the most hygenic
and safe lines.
The halls and entrances were
spacious and well -lit and there was a
quiet dignity and imposing effect.
Every effort was made to meet the
most modern requirements with
respect to light, heat, ventilation and
sanitary equipment.
The masonary and brick work was
completed by the' C.A. Reid Co.;
carpentry work, Goderich Planing
Mills; heating, Charles Lee;
plumbing and iron work, Charles
Harper; and painting, D. Munroe.
Goderich may have been planning
, the most modern school in the
province, but it was still battling to
protect the moral fabric of the
community.
During the same month of
February, J.W. Craigie was granted
a licence to open a billiard room
despite vehement protests to town
council. A deputation of four local
clergy, and others, addressed town
council on the matter claiming that
billiard rooms were "a detriment to
the morals of young _ men."
That same week, the Goderich
senior hockey team tied Stratford 5-5
in the playoffs but lost the replayed
game in Stratford 5-2. Many local
people attended the game.
In March of 1910, there was great
excitement in the community as the
town prepared to lobby the federal
government to undertake an
ambitious expansion program in
Goderich Harbour. -
Goderich town council'agreed to
send Mayor Cameron to Ottawa,
along with representatives of the "
Elevator Company and Western
Canada Flour Mills, to petition the
government to construct breakwalls
north and south of the harbour
entrance and plans also called for
the construction of wharves and
straightening of existing docks.
Local merchants and businessmen
were interested in Goderich'
becoming a port of call.
As the town set out on a new
course of business and commerce;
there were also plans in 1910 to
extend telephone service to Auburn,
Dungannon, Benmiller, Kintail and
other rural points, in the county in
the summer. Colborne, Ashfield and
West Wawanosh Townships were the
last places to be' served by telephone
