A survey of nine intinicipalities
shows that Wingham's current
policy for keeping the main street
sidewalks clear of ice and snow is
not such a bad one after all.
Based on the results -of that sur-
vey, Wingham 'Town Council
decided at its January session to
lake no further action on a citizen's
complaint over ice build-up on the
main street.

policies similar to that of Wingham:
Goderich, Kincardine, Seaforth,
Hanover, Listowel and Walkerton.
Three — Clinton, Exeter and Owen
Sound — all have bylaws which
place the responsibility for snow and
ice removal from sidewalks on the
main street directly in the hands of
the storeowner.
In its reply, the Town of Hanover
said sidewalks on the town's 10th
Street 'are a main walkway
- thoroughfare through Hanover from
one end to another, providing a
service to residents and store em-
eoyees as well. "It is not just a
freebee for business" the letter
states.
Hanover council has considered
