hou IdA ¢ . Goderich Secede?
Coun. B. R: Robins ` 's pro- • • Economic facts must. also be
posal to mha t Goderich withdraw considered. The county spends about
from Huron County Councilappears
to have little chance a being passed
by Goderich Town 'Council, but it,
shpukl be debated... , ,
Two points should ..be " under-
lined Coup._ Robinson has to ' date
only .:given council' notice 'that be
will present a motion.' . The intent
of the motion, he said, will ask for a
committee ,to study the feasibility
of taking Goderich out,of the county
government'.
The' councillor is expected to
formally submit his motion to town
council tonight. The motion• will re -
'quire a second before it can be de-
bate. -'
If no member of council seconds
the motion, then the motion is lost.
Itwould- be desirable if some
irerriber of council, whether he
agrees with the suggestion or not,
could second the motion that would
allow the matter to be argued in
public.
Because Goderich is the seat of.
Huron County government Coun.
Robinson' proposition will cause
some elevated eyebrows`particularly
anang---those--to•-•wbom the_county-
town marriage is a sacred relation-
ship..
' Without the benefit of the ideas
which have prompted the. councillor
to seek a divorce of the town and
the county, the recommendation .on
the surface does'not appear to have
merit.
There is :a question of whether
a town can legally secede from a
county, without 'a private bill from
the Legislature.
$3,000,000 a.year. In fact the county'
represents -an 4ndustry of that
magnitude with its bead office in
.-Goderich•_,... -.
Exactly how much of that $3;-.
000,000 circulates in. Goderich would
take some computation. There is the
additional, impossible to calculate,
revenue derived by Goderich b
tresses from. the purchases` of county'�
coup i. fors and their ' dependents
not -only -at the time of regular, ses-
sions of.council, but also committee
meetings which are conducted ` al-
" most .daily, unnoticed by the averages
citizen. of the town.
The main theemef Coun ~Robin- r
son's argument, as he- hasstated, is
that the town, whin paid the county-
about
ountyabout $140,000 last year, is not re-
ceiving the service it deserves for
that kind of nfoney.
a The ,c.auncillor is quite correct.
Goderich d 'oes deserve more than it
is getting, but the fault, lies not with
the county but with the town.
withdrawingg from c o u n. t_y.
�,
council will not correct the situat•i on ,
but strong representation will.
- h'e=-theory..-tha.Lan' admin tra-
tion deals equally with all parts-. is
excellent. The reality is the opposite,
and as the ' saying goes,2_.tlle _squeak-
ing wheel gets oiled. ,
iA._ strong - voice in county coun-
cil s; just as important as having
men of influence in . Parliament or
in the' Legislature. Goderich's best
interests will ' be served by having
the 'men available to seek the. town's
just deserts.
