BUCHANAN
The Goderich Police
Commission learned at a
meeting last Wednesday
that $239,108 of an overall
1979 police budget of
$297,000 had been spent as
of October 31.
T:orec n. _C.l.er-k Larry
McCabe told the com-
mission that in the area of
building maintenance
and insurane, police
were about $5,000 to
$6,000 over the budget
because of renovations to
the police station. Also,
he said, police were about
$7,000 over the budget
'wi'tfr reg r ds to the new
police communications
system.
However, he continued,
in the area of salaries,
police were under their
budget by about $13,000.
This was mainly due to
the fact that a new
sergeant had not been
hired immediately after
• Mery Witter left the force
,and also because a third
class constable was hired
after a first class con-
stable left the force.
Third class constables
don't earn as •much
money as first class
constables.
Overall, McCabe
estimated the police
would probably be $2,000
under their budget as of
December 31.
1„n other business, the
commission discussed
who should pay for police
overtime at events, such
as rock concerts and beer
tents, where it is felt that
extra police surveillance
is needed. The com-
mission decided that each
case would have to be
judged on its own merits.
In some instances, the

that restitution was

cases of wilful damage.

cause. A man recently "works two ways" :and
