town approval for a parking lot behind MacKay
Hall,'adjacent to their offices.
Councillor Elsa Haydon and Deputy -reeve
Eileen Palmer berth fought to have the "green
area" behind the hall maintained.
"No way would I turn one blade of grass over
to asphalt in this town unless for areason more
pressing than this one appears to be," said the
deputy -reeve who added she is` 'impressed by
the comments of visitors 'about the beauty of
Goderich.
But the feeling of the majority of councillors
was that the parking lot behind MacKay Hall
would be used by Burns Ross and Associates
during the- day, and be available to --MacKay
Hall users on weekends and in the evenings.
Councillor Dave Gower even suggested that
the senior citizens of Goderich who use MacKay
Hall as a meeting place, might prevail on
Burns Ross to include the group's proposed
shuffleboard court in his paving plans. The
group would then only have to mark the court
for use.

airport business." -
-The main reasonifor.. he -improved runway at
the airport is to increase the likelihood of
airplanes. using the Goderich Municipal Air-
port, either' as a flying field or as a „place to
have aircraft painted and repaired. At the Juhe
meeting of town council, Councillor Wheeler
had noted that a 3,700 foot runway and a
blanced field was ample for this airport.
According to Wheeler, any medium sized plane
could land in that length.
At Monday's meeting, Koroscil, himself a
pilot, whrned that a 3,700 foot runway would
only be adequate in ideal conditions. During
inclement weather, Koroscil warned, many
pilots sirriply would bypass Goderich to land in
London. While he agreed that big 'jets would
never land at Goderich municipal airport, he
