Councilidr Frank Walkorn has
f4een to that,
At last' . week's council

"I think there should be one,"
Paid Walkout. Several other
p embers of council egged.
Councillor Ed -Giesbrecht of
the public works *division of
''council, said a fall pick -lip had
not been scheduled because it
costs the--, municipality—abouts
X12,OO to make such a collection.
"I take` my own : garbage to
Holmesville," Giesbrecht stated.

The matter of the mysterious
Second amendment to the `Of-
ficial Plan which .was revealed
gt a recent meeting of Goderich,.,
e Planning Board was touched on
.,pnly briefly at last Thursday's
iiieeting' of town council.
Councillor Ed Giesbrecht,
also of the planning'board, told
council the amendment had not
been formally introduced , to
x planning board or to council
gnd for that reason "isn't a sub-
ject for discussion".

-
mittee for the Municipal Day

' Council lea -reed that the Bell
Telephone booths on The,

" ouncil has en,dotse
ci le of
P �.

study.' ,
any financial commitment for
the study will have to be made
by the 19)13 council.
Only one /councillor was op-
posed to the proposal. That was
Mrs. Elsa Haydon who felt that
a study to cost $20,000 or more
with actual cost to the'local tax-
payers of from $5,000 to $10,000
was excessive.
Council has agreed .to -sell to
the Imperial "Oil Company a
parcel of property located on.
Cambridge Street to the south of
the Public Works Garage, part
of' lots, 1 and 2, Maitland Con-
cession. .
The reported price of the land
is 10,000 and plans for its use
are to be submitted to council by
Imperial Oil.
**
._, B.R. Robinson of Goderich
will be advised that the Blake
property on Lakeside Drive is
"being considered" by council,
Robinson re=offered the`property
to the town after the Dixon
proposal for the property was
blocked.
Robinson is also to be advised
that 'his proposal for Goderich
to become a separated town has,
been "received and filed".

dining room at the Bedford Hotel.
Guest speaker for the occasion will be Barry Wenger, editor'

A frank and open question and answer period is planned
during the session.
There is absolutely no charge for this afternoon seminar. In-
terested persons need only to call The Goderich Signal -Star to
indicate their intention to attend.
""I would not question their
wisdom,'` the, architect adds,
,'but T would dispute to the bit-

Jail should be sold •for develop-

Mr. Leslie feels a city is
known by its buildings. They
arp a mark of its present state of
civilization. In its ()Id Jail,
Goderich may think it has its
finest building. Certainly I do,
