turned over to the town:
Provincially licensed riders will be on hand to
compete on the one -mile ready-made track and
according to Egan, local people will get a chance
to get into the action in events planned for them.
It is hopect the races will promote the town
during the co unity''s Sesquicentennial and
arso stir up some interest for the creation of a
cycle club in this district. Beth Haydon of

'Goderich Town 'Council has
agreed to co-operate in the
development of the running
track and soccer -football
field on the property im-
medigtely opposite GDCI.
The decision was reached
after a letter was received
from GDCI concerning the
project.
Lynn Meyers of GDCI is to
keep in close touch with the
Recreation and Community
Centre Board of the town
concerning the matter.
Town council indicated
Monday evening its in-
volvement would not be
direct financial support, but
rather the provision of some
services by the town's work
crews and equipment.

Sailing is on the increase at
the local marina, according
to the; supervisor, Bill
Mclsaac. Gas sales are down
nearly 5,000 gallons while the
number of boats to visit Snug
Harbor has dropped off by
only 25. There are nearly
twice as many seasonal
customers as in 1976.
Mclsaac suggested that if
the trend continues, some
thought should be given to
ways to enlarge Snug Harbor.

Five tenders were received
by the joint committee of the
Town of Goderich and the
Township of Goderich for the
provision of a Municipal
Servicing Needs Study of the
area south of town which
involves both municipalities, Goderich Township felt the •
quote of M.M. Dillon Ltd. was
the lowest at $7,200 with an
additional $3,000 (estimated)
for topographic mapping. The
town representatives argued
the tender of the Kleinfelt
Group for $9,980 was the
lowest. Further study is
presently being made to
determine exactly which
tender is the lowest.
It is agreed that the
township will pay 90 percent
of the costs, the town to pick
up the remaining 10 percent.
The study will estimate the
work to be done -in servicing
the land south and southwest
of Industrial Park and will
have a bearing on the town's
decisions regarding the
sewage plant, the water plant
and the water tower.
"Many questions will be
answered when we know the
costs," said Councillor Allen
concerning
study.

At a recent Parks Com-
mittee meeting, the main
topic for discussion was the
immediate steps necessary to
restore the grass, mainly in
Court House Park, following
the recent summer activities.
It was pointed out these
additional costs are not
covered in the budget, and a
close watch will 'have to be
kept on expenses. It may
become necessary, the
committee felt, to ask council
for some additional money to
cover the cost of extra sod,
seed and fertilizer.
Committee members, with
the exception of Councillor
Dave Gower, were of the
opinion that future beer tents
should be located outside
Court House Park, perhaps in
the harbor area.

Goderich Recreation
Director Mike Dymond

Octoberfest Party, featuring
a dinner and dance at the
arena in aid of the roof fund,

"The best•of German food,
music and draft will be the
highlights of the eve," said
Dymond in his report.
Jonas Bingeman of Kit-
„ chener will be catering to the
function.
There was a recom-
mendation that in future, the
clubs and organizations ink
charge of beer tents will be
expected to provide their own
clean up inside the tent or
beer garden, or tp reimburse
the town accordingly.
