Goderich Township Council Hike Pay For Three Employees and Themselves Goderich Township council left little time in putting their reeve, Walter Forbes, on the spot, forcing him to cast the deciding vote on one of the first motions at their first business meeting of the year, Monday. However, his vote on the "contentious" issue isn't likely to create any hard feelings with his council members, as he cast his vote in favour of a raise for council members, The split vote arose when the four other members split on the amount of the raise; councillors Harry Oakes and Jack Yeo favouring an increase of $2 per meeting and council- lor Everett Mcllwain and dep- uty-reeve Grant Stirling -re- questing only a $1 increase. Forbes voted in favour of the larger amount, bringing the members' pay to $8 per meet- ing and the usual $50 for ex- penses. Expenses allowed Stirling were left at $75, while they raised the reeve's total to $150 from $125. Hike for Officials After a lengthy discussion, council also granted a pay in- crease ,. to the three township officials, although only two had requested a raise. Clerk Robert Thompson stat- ed he was satisfied with his present pay, but both treasurer- tax collector, Ben Whitely and assessor Carman Tebbutt re- quested raises in view of their increasing work load and the council gave each man a $50.00 increase. Thompson now receives a salary of $1,050 and expenses of $200 and Whitely will re- ceive $850 and a similar a- mount for expenses. The hike to Tebbutt was placed on his expense money, bringing his total to $1250 and a salary of $800. During the discussion, Forbes commented that the time was coming when the duties would be enough for the full-time em- ployment of one man. "They fire a man in Blyth for doing that", one of the members jokingly pointed out. Other , employees named to duties in the township and on area boards were as follows: school attendance, E. N. Grigg; relief officer, Grant Stirling; livestock evaluator, Robert Sowerby; Alexandra Marine Hospital in Goderich, Everett Mcllwain; Clinton District Col- legiate Institute Board, Irvine Tebbutt; Goderich District Col- legiate Institute, Barry Walt:, ers; Goderich Planning Board, C. E. Laithwaite; Maitland Riv- er Conservation Authority, Harry Oakes; drainage inspect- or, Ed Grigg; fence viewers, Maurice Mcllwain, Gordon Rathwell and Don Forbes; pound keepers, Robert Sower- by, Allan Betties and Carman Tebbutt. Rogers Majestic TV SALES Be SERVICE Ted Ryder's TV 245 Victoria St. 2-9320 Make Donation Following a written request, council voted to make a dona- tion of $25 to the Salvation Army. Deputy-reeve, Stirling, pointed out to council that they were also in fact making a do- nation to the group due to the free assessment on the new citadel in Goderich. Other payments passed were the $15 fee to join the Ontario Good Roads Association and $27 to renew their subscrip- tions for the Municipal World. They turned down a request from Mervin Batkin for a bounty on a "wolf" he and Elmer Potter shot recently in the township. Batkin appeared before coun- cil and said the skull of the animal had been sent to Hull, Quebec, for a rabies test and the skull had been destroyed before a positive identification had been made on the animal. However, he said officials, had termed the animal a "hy- bred", which he expected was a cross between a dog and a wolf. He pointed out that the gov- ernment would not pay the $25 wolf bounty on the animal. Council noted that the shoot- ing of the animal had undoubt- edly been a good thing, but ex- plained that it would set a precedent if they paid a bounty, because there was no proof it had been chasing any stock. Growing Quickly Clerk Thompson reported the total assessment for 1962 was $2,685,400, a sizeable increase over the previous year and the population had jumped to 1,983 permanent residents and an estimated 850 summer resi- dents. These figures led reeve For- bes to point out the township "is the fastest growing in the county". In other business, council: Decided to refund tax pen- alties to two residents who had paid their taxes after the dead- line at a Clinton bank. The action was taken after the tax collector pointed out he had accepted tax payment without penalty on the same day. -o Ball Club Helps Fire Victim Readers will recall that on December 12, Mr. and Mrs. Tom Cunningham at Auburn, lost their home and all its con- tents, including the gifts and clothing for their new-born baby, (Mrs. Cunningham was formerly Da Grigg, Concession 9, Goderich Township). The Holmesville Softball Club immediately went into action. Within three days they were out selling tickets on a sheep- skin rug. All proceeds were to go to Tom and Da. On Tuesday evening, January 15, the draw was made at D. E. Gliddon's store at Holmesville, by Mr. Gliddon. Coach Gordon Stock shook up the stubs which represented sales of all 250 books of tickets. Bought by thoughtful citizens of the com- munity, the tickets had produc- ed enough money to buy a fully automatic electric stove and a 53-piece set of dishes. Winner was Mrs. Myrtle Hul- ler, 11R 3, Clinton, Tom had played on the Au- burn team, which put up stiff opposition to the Holmesville club last summer. Also he sometimes SerVed as umpire on those games when Holmesville Was called upon to provide one, and he had helped with the Holmesville Club's fund-raising t, Presbyterians To Induct Rev. R.

A third vehicle on the scene, driven by August DeGroof, 35, RR 3, Clinton, spotted the oth- er two cars and managed to stop, but he was hit from be- hind by a fourth car driven by Joseph McCann, 39, 21 Rat- tenbury Street, Clinton, All four cars had been pro- ceeding south.

The Meeting was closed with prayer after plans were made to hold the spring meeting on May 7 at 2.30 p,m, at Clinton. With an eye on Clinton's present heavy debenture debt, Mayor W. J. Miller outlined only two new programs he wished considered this year when he addressed council at their first meeting, Monday. He prophesied that the mill rate would remain near the present rate but noted it would depend on other groups in the town to realize this goal. "I trust the schoolboards will be careful in their budgets," he stated, and added he hoped the PUC would be able to meet their commitments on their sewer debentures. Last year the PUC was un- able to meet their $13,000- $14,000 debenture payments due to a renovation program and they were criticized by councillor George Rumball, finance chairman, at the nom- ination meeting. Although he urged council to follow the motto of "there's nothing too good for Clinton", Miller also suggested a policy of paying as much as possible "as we go along". He pointed out that many people were advocating a new arena and other projects, but he explained these things took a great deal of money due to high interest rates. "Some people suggest we should let the future genera- tion pay for some of these pro- jects," he stated, but noted that for every $100,000 borrow- ed today for a 20-year period, the , town would have to pay another $100,000 in interest. Consider Sidewalks, Parking Mayor Miller told the coun- cil he would like to, see a sur- vey made of sidewalks in the spring and suggested the "bad spots" should be repaired. "We have to think of the pedestrians as well as the mo- torists," he noted. Miller also suggested council give consideration to providing a sidewalk on East Street, pointing out it was unsafe for children to have to walk on the road in this area. Only other new project sug- gested by Miller was the con- sideration for more parking, especially for the large number of buses that will be bringing students to the Central Huron Secondary School next Septem- ber. He reported he had already received complaints regarding the parking of buses in resi- dential areas and- said some solution would have to be found. The mayor briefly mention- ed the town's paving program and commented that it was a good system and should be fol- lowed again this year. In his opening remarks, Mil- ler pointed out that the fact council had been returned • by acclamation showed that the residents had confidence in the members and appreciated their work of the past year. Backs Sidewalk Improvements Councillor Norman Liver- more backed the mayor's sug- gestion for sidewalk improve- ments and also criticized the fact that some of the work had not been done in past years. He pointed out that sanction of sidewalk repairs had to be made by the chairman of the public works committee and this had been hampered in pest years due to the fact a new chairman had been appointed each year. He said he was, pleased that Reeve Morgan Agnew had been renamed as chairman this year, "because he knows what jobs weren't done last year and he will be able to do it this year." Livermore pointed out that some of the jobs had been under consideration before and council had promised to fix them "next year" for a long time. Agnew replied to the state- ments by pointing out that the work has been carried out in past by fulfilling the promis- es made by former chairmen of the public works committee, "This is what I've been con- stantly assailed with," he stat- ed. The reeve pointed out the town received no subsidies on sidewalks and reported his committee would do the things that he felt should come first. "We'll do the rest if the fin- ance chairman can dig up the money," he stated. Wants Lighting Survey Councillor George Wonch urged that a survey of the street lighting be made and "get the problem straightened out once and for all". He quoted PUC superintend- ent, J. E. Rands, as saying that such a survey could be done in a very short time. "This is a very essential re- port," Wonch stated. Wonch, chairman of the in- dustrial committee, said that on the surface it Would appear that not much had been done by this committee. However, he explained that a "lot of correspondence".has been done during the past year in an effort to entice industry into Clinton. Wants Less Publicity Deputy-reeve John Sutter chastised members of council for discussing out. on the street some of the information pre- sented at their meetings. He explained that it was possible to come up town the day after a meeting and learn from residents what had been discussed at the meetings. "Somebody is carrying it out on the streets," he said. Sutter also chastised the amount of "bad publicity" the town was receiving from re- ports in the press and on radio and TV.
