He said the project "could go or could fall apart'` and -needs c'ouneH•-to-give it -strong support to ensure its construction. He said he would like to see the town's zoning and official plan bylaws brought up to date to bring them abreast of development and to clean up problems surrounding the Industrial Park. The mayor said he would like to iron out the details of an agreement with Goderich town- ship for development of raw land south of Goderich. He said co-operation is necessary to ensure the land is developed to the benefit of both municipalities adding that both had agreements in fire protection and land fill and their working relationship was "way ahead" of. a lot of other communities.

He said the tax base was 60 percent residential arid should be the opposite. He added that the day of•annexation went out with "high button shoes". He said he would like to stay abreast of the Borg-Warner deal for land development in Goderich that may bring the industry here with about 400 jobs. He said with proper direction the firm could be here by 1980 and on its way to expansion. He said two parcels of land have already been sold and arrangements made to open a road:to the firm's site. open said he was looking forward to the results of the election pointing out the winner would be given the satisfaction of hnowitlg that the voters here are satisfied with his intentions and support his ideas. He said he felt the -couritt tie worked witb during—fife,--past two -. years was the best one in a long time. WORSELL'S RETURN Harry Worsell said he decided to run for mayor because of the number of people that had requested him to. He said many were dissatisfied with the spending habits of town council over the past years and wanted something done about it. He said c uracil has been spending great sums of money-bn projects that may be beneficial but not all that necessary. The former mayor said the town's tax bills PITC members acclaimed BY JEFF SEDDON Despite one new face on -the Goderich Public Utilities Commission the four man body was acclaimed Tuesday afternoon when Vincent Young and Harry. Worsell withdrew their nominations for a utility seat. Young apparently wanted a seat on the PUC but chose to stay on as separate school board trustee for Goderich when no other candidate came forward to seek that post. Worsell, a four- year veteran of the commission, decided to run for mayor of Goderich leaving incumbents Leonard Sheardown, Herb Murphy and Jim Peters and newcomer Albert Shore with seats via acclamation. Shore, owner of Shore's Gifts on The Square, is a newcomer to Goderich politics who waited until Monday, the last day for nominations, to tip his hand. He said he was interested in the doings'of the commission and as a homeowner and businessman in Goderich had a double ne interest in the services the utility offered taxpayers here. He said he had been involved in some town business in the past as a member of the Business Improvement Area committee responsible for the sidewalk and Square beautification project now in progress. Leonard Sheardown sais he planned to run for his third term as a commissioner but said this two-year stint would be his last in public office. He said the last term -as commissioner was tiring ; for him and he felt a "person Ahouldn't stay indefinitely" in public office. Jim Peters, who spent two year at the council table before running successfully for a PUC seat, said he planned to seek a second year on/ the commission to see a couple of. PUC projects through to fruitation. Peters said the past two years the commission had been working on a new water tower and storage facility for the town, had begun upgrading the town's water system and was involved in taking over the water pumping station now owned by the provincial government. Peters said he felt those projects were very important for the town and he would like to use at leastone more term on the commission to make them a reality. Herb Murphy, who ran for public office for the first time two years ago, is returning for another term at the PUC. Murphy expressed similar sentiments as Peters pointing out that he felt the experience he had gotten during the past two years would be helpful seeing many of the major PUC projects in the works through to completion. Murphy said he was a little unhappy with the time it has taken to get the projects off the ground claiming he had hoped the water tower were already high enough and thatymunieipal -spending had to .atop somewhere:; Ile Omitted, that some of the _rrj.eets taken on by the councirivere necessary d were beneficliVhut questioned other expenditures. Worsell said he had no qualms about the reconstruction of Cambria Road and the in- stallation of storm sewers for , the street claiming the road was one of the heaviest travelled in town and the homeowners there had problems with flooding. He said he questioned the expansion of Bayfield Road saying when he was on the PUC the utility had to fight for a debenture to put in a hydro sub- station, something he felt the town badly needed, when the highway widening was going through, something he wasn't sure the town needed all that bad. The mayor said he understood the benefits of expanding the town hall but wanted to 'make sure any money spent on that project would not be at the expense of another project with greater need. - He strengthened his point claiming the utility had requested town council to act on acquiring a parcel of land to permit the construction of a new water storage tower `'for Goderich, something the PUC felt the town badly needed, .41.114" ip"e r queWlay li ra filefdider-in 3e'town office with no action taken by council.

"The people will decide who they want to run things WHEELER'S CONCERNS Don Wheeler said he was running for office because he felt the town faced many major. decisions in the next two years that would af- fect its long term growth and he believed he ' could "do the job best". Wheeler said he felt the town needed proper planning of its finances to halt spiraling taxes here pointing out that Goderich has an annual budget of $4.25 million and that good management of that money was of "utmost importance". construction would -be• -farther along than it is: - -Wheeler said he -Planned to make the mayor's He said he was satisfied with the work of the utility upgrading equipment and keeping staff well trained to handle duties of the commission but added that it seems frustrating to have to be delayed so much by outside agencies with a voice in the town's operation.

He said he felt it took all one's time to do the job right and he was willing, to devote that time to the job. lE><e said the mayor's j, b s' •not waa one map, d show ,t uxred a dersh'ii X the council tq hu, I"eq . l,.a_. .p p provide .''fair and just services" to industry, honneowu:Os and senior citizens. in return for their excessive property taxes, Wheeler said he had several ideas he wanted to .put before voters while seeking the mayor's job. He said the town had to have a "stronger voice" at upper levels of government to get greater benefit from decisions made at , the provincial and federal level that influence town affairs. He cited property tax reform. as an example .painting out that a decision by the provincial government prevented the- towns and cities in the `province from making use of the tax reforms. Wheeler said council had to at least hold the line or decrease property tax burdens in Goderich. He said the senior citizens housing project was a necessity council should see through and that council had to work to restore law and order in Goderich and curb vandalism. He said council had to plan the town's future afid make decisions with that future in mind. He pointed out that no less than 500 building lots are available in Goderich and that council should have definite plans for future expansion town—He... said. . water -system-irn. provements planned by the PUC had to be dealt with and spending controlled at all levels of municipal government. "Council has to come to grips with that sort of problem," he said. Rematch. •• • from page 1 tinue doing that job. Clifford said he had tried to keep an open mind when approaching municipal affairs at the council table claiming he attempts to base his decisions or input on what is good for the overall community. He said he does not serve any individual concern or group but tries to keep the broad viewpoint of the community in mind. The reeve said he was put in by office by a majority and took that to meati that a majority. must agree with his general line of thought. He added that the majority would not agree with all his decisions but would agree with many. • •••••••••••••••••••• ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••a••••••• • •• VE .11110WEEN IEYAY •• • • with these food valueG plificAN MINES "NEW" COUNTRY CAKEMIXESA79�: CHOICE"• BRIM FULL PEAS19 Y'S R�°BE.a ANS WITH PORK 391 LEENEX BOUTIQUE PAPER T�WELS994: BAGS °'GS�I�� $1 .991 • 3.5 KG. 991 II' $5.49: 13 59 •4c• • '• GREEN GIANT WHOLE ,C• ORN 12 FANCY OZ.
