"An Informal meeting at Jim's house with council and town clerk Harold Wall. opened our eyes to some of the problems Council faces," Knights said that rather than challenge council the ratepayers wanted to work with them, He said the taxpayers hoped to set up a system or communication that would let council know the feelings of taxpayers on certain decisions and projects en8bling Nem to make decieiona with kn./ledge and a certain amount of public' sentunent rather than an assumption that tate payers want things done that way.

James Stanbury of Hough, Stansbury and Associates of Toronto will be working with the committee and his company will be responsible for 10 percent of the study.

He weld the group must assess the environmental conditions along the lake and elver around Goderich and determine the factors that affect that area: He itated the marina m Goderich was a key to. the study since Goderich was dearly lacking good marina facilities Several' members later expressed concerns about the possible expansion of the marina while others iewed it as an en• nr'achment on busme•s intorno In the harbor..

The old county town produced men of renown - Messrs. Robertson, Cameron, Proudfoot and Ross; Also Garrow and Beck, who ran neck and neck, You could hardly tell which of them was the "boss." The highest positions that Canada gives Are filled by the men who in •Huron lived; In 'the army are generals, in Parliament men When election is over may be premier then. The County of 'Huron, we are happy to state, • d into Is going ahead at a very good rater; And with the inducements that Huron can give, There is no place in Canada better to live. When I went to that county I was but a lad, `Twas hard then to get there, the roads were so bad; We "staged" it from Strat- ford with a man called Warner, And stopped at a place then called Rattenbury Corner. It was then but a hamlet at that time, you know, But in a few years, you should. see that place grow; It soon got to be quite a place of renown, So they called the place Clinton - that's Bob Holmes Town.
