Removal of Chairman from Board
Is Plan of Township Subscribers
Unrest and ill -feeling among the
directors of the Goderich Township
Municipal Telephone System has
led first to an . attempt to remove
Charles E. Wise from his post as
secretary -treasurer of the system,
a job he has held for 30 years,
and now threatens to remove W.
It. Lobb from the directorship of
the System.
Subscribers of the system are
calling a special meeting of all
subscribers to be held in the coun-
cil chamber of the town ball, Clin-
ton,. on Monday evening, June 14,
for the purpose of removing Chair-
man' W. R. Lobb from the board.
Announcement of this move
came at a meeting' of the directors
held in the township building,
Holmesville on Monday night. Ap-
parently Clarence Sttirdy has been
iri favour of hiring a new secre-
tary -treasurer, while Edgar Rath -
well was opposed to a change. In
the face of this disagreement a
decision was made to advertise for
someone to fill the position. Answ-
ers were received from C. Wise
and from Robert E. Bowden, a
former director of the System.
Considering these applications,
Sturdy was in . favour of hiring
Bowden, while Rathwell wished to
retain Wise. After considerable
heated discussion during which the
proposed subscribers' meeting was
the topic, Chairman Lobb second-
ed Rathwell's motion.
Three subscribers attended the
meeting. -
Concerning communication from
the Municipal Board concerning
the reduction in rates requested
by subscribers at the last general
meeting, directors found that an-
swers to questions required by the
board were not available, and de-
cided to file the matter.
Two applications for service
were considered and the work was
authorized, A work order for the
moving of poles in the way of
contractors working on the high-
way was discussed, and $3,200 will
be requested from the Department
of Highways for compensation for
poles knocked down.
Consideration was given wages
to be paid to Amos Osbaldeston
during his time working on this
job, and he was authorized to hire
men to help him in this project.
