mere i,anis in the core area are trying so hard to
keep The Square an attraction to visitors, while
council appears to „be allowing buildings to
gome down that wilt "undermine everything"
the businessmen are attempting to do.
"The decision is ours," Haydon pointed out at
Monday's meeting. "We are wasting time. We
must know where our values are, where our
sympathies are."
"I can't see it is within our realm of
jurisdiction to interfere with private en-
terprize," insisted Deputy -reeve Eileen
Palmer.
Councillor Bob Allen said it was his un-
derstanding that council had previously
withheld the demolition permit requested* by
Hutchins to give interested persons an op-
portunity to come up with some alternate
solution that would save the building. Allen
suggested getting a legal opinion about whether
council had any right to stall off the owner any
longer.
Clerk Larry McCabe said Hutchins was
determined to take the building down and
warned that some direction was needed from
council.
"We're not going to stand in front of the
bulldozers," McCabe told council.
Haydon said after Tuesday's meeting.she is

total number of offences in Goderich showed a
drop of 13.85 percent in 1977 over 1974. This is
very significant, he said, considering
Provincial and,,Federal crime rates have risen
sharply.
"If we average out the totals for • the -.four
years, we still were below average in the
number off crimes committed in 1977. Our crime
rate has been declining since 1974," continued
Chief King.
In respect to the solving of crimes, Chief King
told the commission that the . Goderich. Police
Department's clearance rates are better than
average and will compare favorably with any
other police department in the country.

Chief said there is a tendency for some to
believe that it is the centre of Goderich's crime
scene but that it only appears this way.
Anything happening on the. Square is naturally
more noticeable bpcause it is a focal point in
town, he said.
During 1977, which was the Sesquicentennial
Year -when more activity took place on the
Square than ever before, police records show
that only 15.3 percent or all driving coMplaints
took place on the Square; and 12.95 percent of
all other complaints took place there.
"It (the Square) does have its share (of
crime) but not to the extent where we .inust
have a policeman on steady foot patrol there,"
concluded the Chief.
Chief King said, he wanted to go on record as
saying the Goderich Police Force has an efl;
viable record. ! k;,
"I know`that our efficiency as a police force
rates high and that this has been voiced locally
and elsewhere," he said.
The commission on accepting the chief's
report, decided to circulate •a copy of it to the
town councillors as well.
RESIGNATION OF
SERGEANT WITTER
In' other business, Chief King told the com-
mission members that he was presenting the
resignation of Sergeant Mervin Witter to them
with great reluctance. Sergeant Witter has
taken a position with the. Human Rights
Commission in Windsor effective this month
after ten years of service on the Goderich
Police Force. He will be replaced by a new
officer in 1979.
Chief King said Sergeant Witter will
represent not only a loss to the police force but
a loss to the community as well.
"Locally he had been a very good officer and
supervisor. He has always excelled himself in
his performance and has received good marks
from Police College whenever he has at-
tended."
Chief King went on to say that he wished
Sergeant Witterwell in his new occupation.
"I know they (the Human Rights Com-
mission) are getting a good man,"he said.
He informed the police commission that the
police department would be making a
presentation to Sergeant Witter and the
commission then gave him power to act on a
presentation from the commission as well.
HALLOWEEN QUIET
In his monthly reports, the Chief pointed out
that of 286 occurrences reported to police in
September, only three of them took place on the
'Square. Halloween was quiet this year,
reported the Chief, with one incident of wilful
damage taking g place", twfi,fire hydrants being
turned on; five bonfires set; and several traffic
complaints made.
The Chief said that training sessions were
being held once. a month' for the auxiliary of-
ficers used by the force. Laws were outlined
and tips given at these sessions.
worried when people are trying to "squeeze
out" everything from a situation and "leave
things in shambles".
"Isthat planning?" asked Haydon. "What
will eventually go in its place? And could
something else be built and then demolished?"
TOWN HAS SOME
CONTROLS
Mayor. Shewfelt told the Signal -Star on
Tuesday that the town now has some controls
on the types of buildings that can be con-
structed in the core area. He pointed to the
plans for a new structure across the street from
the town hall where a "very compatible"
commercial building is going up at the present
time.
"It looks good," added McCabe. "It's a new
building but it fits right in with the buildings
closer to The Square."
A.M. Polley acquired the South Street
property in 1877 from Fred and Sam Seegmiller.
The livery and hack stable was built in 1878 and
featured an arched central corridor through
which the livery turnouts arrived and departed.
The front section and most particularly the
front facade, is the interesting portion of the
former livery stable. The front section which
was neatly mortared to the rear of the main
building in Polley's time, is of better quality
stone of more regular shape. It is believed that
Polley'ma-- have used' this
y portion of the
building for offices.
The 1878 keystone enabled Stan Prevett to
claim "90 years of transportation service" for
the building when it was part 'of his Ford
dealership in more recent years.
Polley sold the livery business to Tom and
Will Gundry in 1903. The Gundrys sold the livery
building to Tom Davis and his brother Alfred.
Tom was the first automobile dealer in
Goderich.
Later it became Huron Motor Sales before
Prevett acquired the premises.

Signal -Star about the
Town and Country
Homemakers .getting
approval from county
council for a $5,100
support grant was in-
correct.
Council did not agree to
give the service the grant
but did agree to make
$5,688. in the social ser-
vices -budget available to
clients of the county
agency to purchase
services from the Town
and Country
Homemakers.
County clerk Bill Hanly.
said Wednesday that the
social services com-
mittee had budgeted
$5,688 in 1978 for a
program to provide home
support service. The
committee reported that
the service was used very
little adding that the
Town and Country
Homemakers had a
service very similar to
the county's. Hanly said
the committee had
merely made the money
available to clients of the
county agency to pur-
chase services from
Town and Country
Homemakers. It had not
handed the funds over as
a grant.
The grant request was
not approved. The social
services committee
recommended that the
fee structure of Town and
Country Homemakers be
altered to make the
service self-supporting.
Council 'accepted that
recommendation.

It is well known that
oneof the main causes of
automobile accidents is;
Speed Too Fast For
Conditions. The Ontario
Safety League points out
that the condition of the
driver is one of the most
important factors that
should govern the speed
at which the car is driven.
Fatigue, alcohol, anger,
depression, sickness, pre-
occupation -- all bring
extra danger to a driver
unless he reduces speed.
to compensate.
REMEMBER THEM!
