In the second section of the recommended bylaw the responsibilities of the Town Council are set out in relation to the committee. The Town is to supply the committee with funds to carry out the responsibilities detailed in the first part of the ' bylaw, Council is to name council appointees to the committee for a two-year term to coincide with the council term but `citizen ap- pointments are to be made on a staggered basis to provide continuity within the com- mittee. Council is also to set out Town of Goderich lands available to the Economic Development Committee for sale. The price charged a prospective buyer is to be included with that in- formation. The council is called upon to advise, in writing, the services available for each warcel of industrial within the ToofGland Town of Goderich. Where services are not available now but are planned for future the dates when available are to be included. - MINOR DISPUTE The final clause setting out council's action raised some' dispute at Wednesday's meeting. Originally it noted that "Council will designate the Economic Development Committee their agent in all economic development matters, including the final approval of a sale of the Town of Goderich owned lands". Committee member Elsa Haydon told the meeting that final approval of any negotiated agreement rested with Council, the elected representatives and those finally responsible for matters of the town. "People who want the final word should run for council," she told Comrfiittee chairman Gord McManus. "Only the Town can sign and seal." Mr. McManus felt that authority should be given to the committee and asked "What justification is there for the existance of this committee then?" He went on to suggest that if council was not willing to give the authority to the committee then it should have appointed the Industrial l Qf"'c.p., WS Will the a stamped a is enclosed, '$ Intelreot Wilk 1 _ Letter/ Inuit the it .will NOT revert 3 HOUR SERVICE EPAIRS AND ATIONS Gardeners get good advice Lois McGill and Pat Hamilton of the Goderich Garden Club listen to some advice about plant care from George Blais, host of the CFPL television show, Greening Up Show.

Request larger budget Although the Goderich Industrial Commission only spent $2,268 of a budget of $4,100 in 1976 they are expected to go to Town Council this year with a budget request in the neighborhood of $20,000. The Commission has spent little or no money in recent years on the provision of services and this year they will have to make up some work put'off. Commission. chairman Gord McManus and Secretary Harold Walls will be holding meetings this week to strike a proposed budget and a meeting of the whole commission is to be called for approval of that proposal soon af- terwards. Among improvements to be budgeted for is a redesigning of the entrance to the local Industrial Park and the spreading of a tar and chip surface to the Industrial Park roadways.

GOOERICH 1 took up 'cross-country skiing this year and purchased a pair of skis. 1 only used them a few times when one broke. When I returned it to the store I got no satisfaction from the owner who says that there is no guarantee against breakage for any sporting goods made of wood, including baseball bats, hockey sticks as well as skis. This may be so but 1 contend that they should last a lot longer than just a few short outings. Is there any way you can help me get either a refund or a new pair of skis? If the breakage was due to faulty workmanship or material there is usually such a thing as a manufacuturers' guarantee. Suggest you return the broken ski to them along with a detailed covering letter._ EVERYDAY DOWN - TO_ EARTH VALUES - Furniture IN THE SUNCOAST MALL OPEN: MON.-FRI. TILL9 P.M.
