This would shift more of the responsibility for the upkeep ofcounty roads onto the townships, at less cost to the towns. Reeve J. W, Nediger spoke from his experience as a member of the County Roads Committee and ex - Pressed his opinion that the setup in Huron County was pretty good, Deputy Reeve Crich: T hesitate He admitted that some of the to back any action„ which ' would roads now termed county roads upset the system in the county, the province could do it, 1Y2r. Ned- iger said that he had fought I to. get the rebate on road 1evy,in, creased, that it had been raised from 25 per cent to 40 per cent this year, and there was good evi- dente that it might be raised to 50 per cent.. "This resolution may be all right in the area near Hespeler," said Reeve Nediger, "but in these smaller municipalities, if it weren't for rural area, we'd not be any- where. But we seem to try to do everything we can to :buck them. We may be hit a little hard one place, but we certainly get suf- ficient ufficient back in another place. We have a pretty good setup in Hu- ron County." should not be so-called and at- tempts were being made to have some changes made. However, went on the reexe, the county is doing a good bit of work on the roads, and is doing it cheaper than Coun, Agnew; In that area, large towns such as Galt, Kitchen- er, Guelph and Waterloo, tend to live within themselves, with not as much dealing with the rural areas. The letter was filed, Clinton Juveniles and Auburn Split Series; Each Win Their Home Game Auburn and Clinton Lions Ju- veniles split a home and home series during the past week. Au- burn winning on their own diam- ond 10-5. with Clinton coming out on top last evening 7-6. Auburn 16—Clinton 5 Last Friday evening at Auburn it was the tale of too many er- rors. Five miscues in the first two innings resulted in six runs which proved to be more than was need- ed to win the game. Carrick and Ron,Carter shared the pitching chors for Clinton and struck out six opposing batters while walking an equal number. Youngblut on the hill for the home team fanned 12 Clinton batters and walked only four. Wilson, Auburn's second sacker, had a perfect night at the plate. He had four. hits and a walk in five trips including a triple, two doubles and a single; Ron Carter and John Hartley with two hits each topped the Clinton batters; Bob Garon also hit a triple to lead off the first inning.

Carter and Macdonald each struck out eight, and walked eight in the five -inning contest. Garon with two singles was the best bat- ter for Clinton with Barry Yung- blut Ieading the Auburn attack.

(Continued from Page One) police force to remain on. the Job for a longer period of time.. Coup- ell accepted the contract as snit - able, subject to approval of the Crown Attorney, with whom the Clerk was asked to discuss the terms of the contract. Signal System Councillor Agnew, speaking as chairman of the police committee, brought up the subject of the tref- fic signal system, and a proposal in the police chief's report that the standard en the southeast corner of the intersection, which at present time has only one set of lights, should be supplied with another set, from the standard on the northeast corner which has three sets at the present time. This would supply each of the four corners with two sets of lights each, Reeve Nediger: Wouldn't be 'ton hasty with any changes. An en- gineer set up the system we have, and he didn't do it in ten minutes without thought. Believe he did the best job he could do with a mean corner, Percival -Princess Corner Reeve Nediger reporting for the Public Works Committee stated that M Cooper was not particul- arly ani ous to sell the 33 feet by 66 feet parcel of land at the eorn ner of Percival and Princess Sts„ which would allow for proper wid- ening of Percival Street at the front of the new public school. He apparently felt that some ar- rangement could be worked out by giving the land to the town in exchange for fill to raise the level of lots facing Percival Street. Mr. Nediger expressed the opinion that the town should do without the land, rather than go to this expense. License Granted On motion of Councillor B. Stanley, seconded by Deputy Reeve Crich, a license was granted to the Llashmar Drive -In Theatre to sell cigarettes and tobacco, Over 200 ' Attended Ontario St. Church Sunday School Picnic Yesterday About 200 attended the Ontario Street Sunday School and con- gregational picnic held onWednes- day, July 15, at Jowett's Grove, Bayfield. • There was supervised swimming for the children and then every- one gathered under the trees for the sports program under the dir- ection of Rev.

Ings too much, Agreement'l A• emeut concerning fire pro- tection by the Clinton Fire Brig- ade was received from the Gode- rich Township Connell, Council, along with members .bf the Fire Department, agreed to the terms presented, with the exception that they, thought the words "if avail- able" should be inserted in the first paragraph which was to the effect that "the Clinton Fire De, partment should answer calls to fires in Goderich" Township," Sewerage. Rate Appealed A. Garon approached council concerning advice received from the PUC that he should now pay twice the Water rate for his sew- erage rate, rather than the one times the water rate paid prev- iously. His consumption of water at the laundry during the last three months had been 16,520 cu. ft., fop which he was billed $58. Meanwhile a man using 20,000 cu. ft. is billed only one times the water rate, and thus pays only $44. GOLF TOURNEY Dr. W. A. Oakes, Clinton, was the only local entry listed an Sat- urday, to teeoff in the 5th annual Invitation Golf Tourney at the Maitland Golf Club, Goderieh. Mr. Garon explained that he had asked the PUC for over a year to supply him with a larger pipe to provide water for his business, so that he might add another water softener, and so be able to use the additional water he badly needed. He, has three meters, through whih water is fed to his laundry business. However, even so, during working hours it is im- possible to get sufficient water in- to his shop. He requested to be billed at one times the water rate, or else he would leave his tap 'running at night, thereby using up an additional 4,000 cu. ft, to qual- ify for the rate. "It would be cheaper for me to let my tap run. I'd use more water if I could get it when I need it. It would save be $14 on this one bill," Mr. Garen said. Mr. Garen emphasized the fact that there was no fire hydrant in his block, to serve the houses, the drive-in theatre, nor the grand- stand at the Community Park. Reeve Nediger: Would like to LINT THW SDAY, JULY 1,0, 1 e,', • help "'Red". (Mr, Garon) out it we could,: However, everyone an the preferred last is using over 20,000 Cll. ft. Suggest that "Redd" will Ant have to open his tap, Coun, Agnew: J elieve the PIM" should co-operate in this and pro- vide" you with. a larger pipe. They're helping to run the town,, in partnership with us. The clerk was advised to ask the PUC to give early considera- tion to providing Mr. Giron with a larger water main. Permission for Sig Request from Ellwood Epps for- permission to erect a small white sign on Victoria Street, directing customers down Cutter Street 'to his shop, will be referred to the Department of Highways. Coun. Pegg remembered that one of the first jobs he bad had four years. ago when he became a councillor,. was to investigate a similar re-. quest from Mr, Epps, He suggest- ed limitation to the size of the sign. Coun. Draper could see only one thing against erection of such. a sign, and that was the contusion. if a dozenmen wanted the same thing, Reeve Nediger stated his opinion that certainly the sign. should not be placed so as to in- terfere with vision, adding that~ need for the sign in Mr. Epps ease was greater than in" some other types of business, Building Permits Building permits passed includ- ed, Mrs..
