Funny money ,in
Huron County
Provincial police say some
funny money is floating
around the area.
The Clinton Crodit Union
reported last Monday receiv-
ing a counterfeit Canadian
$50 banknote, which was
smaller in size and had a
waxy feeling (serial# FHH
4866144), says the: Huron
County QPP.

New sidewalk vandalized �
Roughly 50 feet (16
metres) of new sidewalk on
Goderich Street had to be
removed and reinstalled
because of recent vandalism,
Public Works Supe intendont
John Forrest told Seaforth
Council Tuesday night.
He said the incident was
reported to police, but
Nicholson Concrete was
good about it absorbing the
Huron County Crimestoppers
loss.
The works superintendent
says what appeared to be two
sets of footprints walking
together (youths or teenagers)
were imprinted through the
damaged stretch of fresh con-
crete, along with a bicycle's
tires tracks, finishing with a
swerve. He estimates the
incidents might have cost the
company in the neighbour-
hood of 3600, for the reform-
ing and another pouring of
concrete.
Forest also noted, when
later elaborating on the van-
dalism to this paper, that the
company had a man on site
until relatively late in,,the
evening when the original
concrete was first setting, so
the incidents must have hap-
pened later that night.
