involved to replace the Master Clock
control. and amplifier at the Court
House. The other half will be paid by the
Town of Goderich.
'The county has contributed half • the
maintenance costs on the clocks since
they were installed on the building. Total
cost of the repair and replacement work
will be $2900.
In other business council accepted the
recommendation of. the Property
Committee to purchase an ABSO Blue
Prints Lirnited'Trition One Copier' at a
price of $1,835. The machine had been
requested: by the Planning Department.
At present the Planning Department is
having blueprint copies made by B. M.
Ross and Associates at Goderich or
Mercury Blueprinting in London, which
requires considerable staff time
having the work done.
The Planning Department felt that the.
equipthent could be used extensively in
copying maps in connection with
Secondary Plans for municipalities.
It is estimated that the Planning
•Depa•rtment would produce ap-
proximately 10,000 square feet of prints
and the Highways Department 1,000
square.feet per `year as a minimum. At
present costs they .said• the machine
wouldpay for itself in three to five years,:..
