opposed.
• Councillor Robinson spon,.
sored a motion to aoolish the
present board of police comnn i s•
sioners as of December 31.
He cited as his reason for the
motion not the survey report,
but what.,he called a philosophy
held by the present commission
which he said was "dictated to
them other than by their good
conscience."
This philosophy, he said, is
the treatment of people not
as individuals,.but as potential
criminals: •
He said it was breeding lack
'of respect for police officers
and created a barrier between
the commission and the popu.
lace.
'",Th-e'-presentcommission is
just not getting through to the
people," he said.
He predicted thatpolice costs
in Goderich continue to rise
next year if answers were not
given by this year's council:
"If it isn't $80,000, it won't
be far off it," he predicted.
He suggested replacing the
present com mission, which con.
sists of the Mayor, Judge R.S.
Hetheringtonand Magistrate H.
Glenn Hays with a cominission
composed of clergym'en, tea.
chers, members'of coilncii and
businessmen.
Such a commission, he said,
would be part of the community
and would know how it felt and
thought.
-Councillor Sheardown sup.
ported the motion, saying that
council would have to draw the
line someplace regardingpolice
service. -
Referring to the presentcom-
mission, Sheardown remarked,
"It must be awfully hard to be
a judge in the morning and head
a police committee in the even.
ing and be completely objective
all the time." The motion was
defeated 4 to 2.
