Elect DttyReeve Six Councillors, Two For PUC (Continued afrona sage I) Councillor James Bisset, can- didate for deputy -reeve, reported on activities of the water, light and harbor committee, of which he is chairman. I -Ie said that he and his committee have been very disturbed because of the number of yachts which by-pass Goderich to dock at ports further north, where facilities are better. He' noted that during the year, Mrs. George Filsinger had' canvass- ed merchants for funds to improve facilities for yachts here. He, said that electric plugs were installed this year along the east side of Snug Harbor and he believes that more such work should be done next year. In announcing his candidacy earlier last week, Councillor Bisset said that, if elected, he would take up the assessment question with County Council` in an effort to ar- rive at a eolution that is more satis- factory to the town. Next speaker was Councillor Peter S. MacEwan, the other can- didate for deputy -reeve. Report- ing as chairman of the industrial committee, Councillor MacEwan said, "I would like to ask every citizen of Goderich to become in- dustrial commissioners." Citizen Gets Credit Referring to the furniture indus- try which is moving here from London, Councillor MacEwan said, "It was only through the help of Ernie Breckenridge that this in- dustry was located." The town's established industries should not be forgotten, Councillor Mad'Ewan said, and he expressed pleasure at progress being made by such firms as Akurate Tool & Die, Goderich Manufacturing Co. Ltd. and Sky Harbor ,Air Services. Referring to the water problem, Councillor MacEwan said that drill tests at the waterfront have in- dicated there is at least one spot where a Reenney collector, main unit of the Ramey Ivate>r syytem, could be built. An engineer's re- port will be in Councils hands soon. The Ranney system, int;s4which Councillor MacEwan has been" pari titularly interested, might save local taxpayers $1,200,000 in prin- cipal and interest, he declared. The Ranney system, if it is feasible here, might be paid off illi= just four years; whereas it might take the to'wn_.30 years to pay off an alter- native water plan that has been considered, he said. Also, the town would have com- plete control of a Ranney system, whereas it would not have full control of the alternative system, assuming that the alternative sys- tem would have to be financed through a provincial agency. The much smaller capital outlay for the Ranney system could be handledt by the town without having to go to the Ontario Water Resources Commission for financial aid. Short and Sweet The address of John Spain, can- didate for councillor, was one of the shortest of the night. He said that, if elected, he would do all in his power to serve the taxpayers to the best of his ability. In case of a contest, he said, "We're ready to fight." Mrs. May Mooney said that she would let her name stand for Council. Women ratepayers are • anxious to have a strong civic administration, she said. "We'd like to see a'Council that conducts the town's business with energy, dignity and vision," ex- plained Mrs. Mooney. Councillor C. M. Robertson, seek- ing re-election, reported as chair- man of the parks committee and as the Town Council's representa- tive on the Board of Governors of Alexandra Marine and General Hospital. Ile pointed out that he has been a member of Council for the last hal£-dozen years, With the exception of one year. The fences at Agricultural Park and the pavilion atlarbor3 Park ware improved during the year after he had placed the facts be- fore Council, he said. Hostpital Opening "It will be open on the first of January," he said in, refference to the new hospital wing. The wing, containing 43 beds, will cost about $423,000 but this figure does not include furnishings, he said. So far, individuals andorganizations have provided $28,000 for furnish- ings but more donations are need- ed urgently, he stated. Heat for the new wing will be provided via a steam line from Goderich Manufacturing Co. Ltd., at a cost that will be a great deal less than if the hospital had to provide -'the heat Itself, said Coun- cillor Robertson. ° Councillor Frank Walkom, also a candidate for another term, said that he had pledged when he first offerd his services that he would attend Council meetings regularly. He missed only one meeting this year, he said. He reported as chairman of Council's special committee, which has responsibility, among other things, for seeing that meat in- spections are made at the two local abattoirs. During the year, he said, about 1,900 head—a,bout half cattle—were killed and in- spected by Dr. G. S. Elliott, veter- inarian from Clinton. Of the total, 193 parts were rejected. Councillor W. A. Tipple, also seeking re-election, .,said that he realized some people in the hall would not knew hfin because he has been a resident of Goderich for only four years. He stated, "I am only running from a sincere desire to do some- thing for a town that has been very wonderful to myself aed-rn Caution Pays Sometimes there is criticism about the length of time it takes for Council to reach a decision, but this caution may be rewarded with the saving of many dollars. He gave the water question as an example. "We feel it is your Council's duty to look into every aspect and make • sure every nickel is spent wisely and well," Councillor 'fipple explained. Bruce Sully, a new candidate for Council, touched on the problem of luring new industries to town, and urged that every citizen be- come .a booster for Goderich. He also said he thought it was a :shame that so few people attended Council Meetings to watch how their business is being conducted. Councillor Joseph Allaire, who is seeking re-election, gave praise to local firemen, who always do "an exceptionally fine job," he said. He is chairman of the fire com- mittee. In his brief remarks, Councillor Allaire stated that it has been said that construction of a new bridge over the Maitland River, between Goderich and Saltford, will be MEMBER SERVICE WEST ST.

Referring to the water situation, he observed, "Our present intake pipe went in about 75 years ago and is totally iinadecluaa" Commissioner George 0., lila Ewan, who is standing for rodeo. tion . to the PUC, said: "I've served you as well as 1 know how for the last nine, year." _ Chang, In .Rater He announced that there will be a reduction in local hydro rates at the beginning of next year, Ire indicated that the rate structure has not been set up tlnallly yet, so .figures could not be quoted im- mediately. Pointing out that the PUC is a big business, he produced figuresi to show that the total power bill has almost doubled in the last seven years. lite power bill in October of this year reached $15,036. "Our financial picture is good, but not as good as it looks," he stated. While the PUC has a bank balance of about $7'7,009 and $30,000 in bonds, against this there is a debenture debt of $129,000, he said. Apparently the total amount of debentures which On- tario Hydro required the PUC to issue in connection with the 60 - cycle changeover was $30,000 more than the PUC needed. Until the debentures have been paid off, the PUC is forced to keep reserve funds in a separate account to cover debenture payments, The PUC has started on a pro- gram which will result in the ex- penditure of $68,000, he added. A new sub -station is being built to replace one that is obsolete. New lights were placed on Montreal -street last week "and there will be new lights and a new line on Ham- ilton street next year, he said. New lines have been put in to the salt mine and the hospital. The street lighting system is being changed from the series system to the multiple system, he said, and he mentioned a number of other projects that have been undertaken by the PUC. Commissioner W. J. Mills, also seeking re-election to the PUC, recalled that he was appointed to the commission in February of 1954 to take the sett left .vacant by the death of Dr. Gallow. He said that he feels better qualified now—with' four years of experi- ence behind him—to look after the financing, purchasing and other matters that must be dealt with by the 1?'UC. Mr. Mills has oper- ated his /own business in Goderich for 18 years. School Trustees Trustee Robert Rae, one of the three men re-elected to Goderich Public School Board by acclam- ation, was not present wheir his name -was called. Trustee Don Aberhart said he felt the board had experienced a successful year under the chair- manship hairmanship of Mrs: Madeleine 'Ed - started in 1958. It is to be hoped ward.
