It is my sincere,hope that I= can offer a clear alternative for the Office of Mayor. ° I want to offer • LEADER- SHIP: a type of leadershipthat is both collected And decisive. I want to offer leadership that is clear and straightforward. In the past four years, I believe that lilt activity on Council has demons°T,rated ,that I can make decisions whenever required. It is important to recognize that it is impossible to please everyone and I do believe that my actions as Councillor and Reeve will attest to the fact that I have dealt fairly and objectively with all matters before me. I make no claims to perfection and I am re aced . t KIP* .mistakes, I want to offer LEADER- SHIP: a, type of leadership that will 'place before Council . measures which, after due con- sideratiun, will help steer our collective actions in the right direction. It is my desire to offer consistent guidance to the' Town's administrative officials. I want to function as an adequate link to'tie together the various committee and boards in a way that is clear to all con- cerned. -I want • to offer a PROGRAMME: a programme which has been • carefully thought out. Each year, the Mayor should place before Council, a programme for action -wiir"drat"' com`ing`-year.�-Such�-�� programme should consider both the short-term needs of our citizens, and the long-term needs as well. I am prepared to place a high priority on the following points: STRUCTURAL DEFECTS: The ' Town has had difficulty handling some of its business af- fairs. 'We have "developed a disintegrated system of appoin- tive - committeesand . boards. Communication has •been blocked; often causing misun- derstanding and hard 'feelings. We have permitted some com- mittees to function entirely out- side the Municipal Offices; even to a point of financial control. This defect must be corrected. I will propose to Council a system of external committees ' with greater • representation from Council and direct ties with the Town Offices for secretarial and financial control. the' amount of business the Town has handled has in- creased. In order to deal with this much activity in a more ef- fective manner, it, is essential to update our approach. It is not reasonable to expect one person to do two men's work and' ad- justments in the administrative workload must be undertaken immediately. It will save Coun- cil and the Town many un- needed headaches and certainly prevent costly mistakes. FINANCE: No-one can claim that our 'Town is in a healthy financial °state. In the coming terms of Office, Council will be hard-pressed to hold the line. While some revenues are in- creasing, others are decreasing. And of course, expenditures creep up every year. It would be dishonest to suggest that -the mill rate will not increase. I do believe however, the time is upon us to • WJ.HUGHES REALTY LTD. 38 East Street 524-8100 3 /4 ACRES MILL ROAD Outstanding opportunity for an investment in an Estate sale of Town property.

It is time to concentrate our resources on endeavours that will provide the most benefits to the majority of ' our citizens. For example, we should demand that the Public Works budget be set at a level that will meet the needed demands for basic services. Streets, . roads, sidewalks, and sewers are of prime concern 'to all of us. It is time to stop talking about "5 year plans" and start acting on these measures.. , Funds • must be diverted TO the Public Works budget, not FROM it as has occurred in the past. There are places to save money: One of the best exam- ples of how that can happen is the waterfro"nt. Snug Harbour and .the Marina, controveisial as-they-were-a---few-years-agar— are .they-•.were=-a--few-wyeats•--agar-- are now not only paying their way, but also contributing to the "own. Another area that must be reviewed is 'promotion. I sin- cerely believe that offer amalgatnating• the Town's Tour.t Committee and the In- dustrial Committee would not only increase their°effectiveness but als save: several thousand dollars .:each year.- There are other ways too. BUSINESS AND COM- MERCE: The, business corn- inunity must be given the oppor- tunity to participate in decisions that will affect the business core of .our' 'community, 'A review should' be undertaken to analyze the problems of our "down- town" business community and point out steps that might be taken to make it more attractive to our consumers. Parking problems should be reviewed as well. The businessmen 'shoul'd be. given an opportunity for other kinds of input as well. I am certain that they couldry,see t_ hew! _.._ __lisdon)R-fox.,e.xample;.. of -not— only helping decide how the Town can promote its business section to outsiders, but also helping to finance some of that promotion as well. By working closely together; we have everything to gain. The very nature of our shopping area demands that it be enhanced and preserved. INDUSTRY: Moderate growth is important. The Town can work closely with existing companies to plan for their needs and pave the way for new ventures as; well: I believe I have been able to" demonstrate my . competence in this area by working closely with the Dear- born -Officials, , on behalf' of _.-::� s�tra,�i1,�Q a.negotiatewar-ia.ir .dea 1__. for our first factory in the much- discussed Industrial Park: I will continue tb put forth such ef- forts. , PLANNING: Goderich has been fumbling its way through a planning . crisis. This is most evident if one examines the record closely and identifies' the reversals Council has been fork ced to make in certain planning decisions. On October. 5, of this year, I placed before Council a comprehensive :plan to solve our planning problems. These, positive measures were the only ones put forward and will take effect over the coming months. With your support, I will be able to, give the continued guidanee that these measures. require. Those planning problems are not over. They will continue to occur. The long term impact of decisions affecting ' these problems are important to' everyone. PUBLIC WORKS: I men- tioned public works in the paragraphs marked "finance". It is my belief that this is one of the-, mest--innporta4nt- =issues -to deal with:There has been a lot of talk about needed im- provements, but not too much action. A cornpletely integrated works plan is needed. I . placed the nucleus of such a plan before Council. during, October of this year: The emphasis must be changed from short-term gains, to long-term advantages. Programmes such as the South storm 'sewer outlet cannot be delayed. In 1972, nothing positive has been achieved with this project, however, the projec- ted cost keeps spiralling up- wards. There are" other sources' of funds for .public works projects of a low priority nature: In 972 ,lame s i b m. tt.ecL— programmes to,xCpuncil which have been eligible for $32,000 in federal subsidy. These kinds of grants cannot be overlooked. PALMOLIVE 24 FL. OZ.' Liquid Detergent ° :i: * • There are other matters that '� " TT' 91 VICTORIA VACHON 32 FL. OZ.
