Where the discharge of
firecrackers is concerned, the
bylaw stipulates that no pe rson

The following rulings are
taken directly from the 1 Dylaw
passed June 19, 1969:

over may hold a dis play of
family fireworks on a ny land
belonging to him 'or on any

New store
on Square
Gerofsky Brothers Ltd. have
received permission from
Goderich Area Planning Board ,
and Town Council to erect a
clothing store on The Square
adjacent to Shore Gift Centre.
As well, the Goderich In-
dustrial Commission is
negotiating with Signal -Star
Publishing Company Ltd. con-
cerning a building site at In-
dustrial Park.
The lot which the Signal -Star
had originally selected is now
believed to be 'too low and the
-possible cost of servicing the,
land to 'conform to the firm's
needs could run excessively
high.
Several alternatives are
presently under discussion. It
has been suggested that enough
fill from the construction at In-
dustrial Park may be available
to the Signal -Star to bring the
lot up to requirements without
much additional cost to the
company.
As well, a letter has gone out
from the Goderich Industrial
Comtnission to Linton and
Hirst to determine whether or
n of that company's lot could be
traded or resold to •the,Town.
A third alternative is the
se lection of another site within
the Industrial Park boundaries.
[t was learned the Goderich
Ps' ✓chiatric - Hospital is presen-
tly under consideration as a
pos sible agency to take on a
cermmics project - for the local
Tot mist Committee.
While nothing final has been
decided, it is thought the Town
Seal could be seton certain
cera mic items and offered for
sale as a -genuine souvenir for
travellers through Goderich.
Such says
the age of 18 shall allow the
child to set off any firework or
fireworks, except when such
parent or guardian or some
other responsible person of 18
years or oyer is in direct super-
_..uision- and:.

sons shall hold a display of

prior to the date on which it is
desired to hold the display of
exhibition fireworks.

vision of a fit and competent
person.
A display of exhibition

s.J.s,
In a statement released Wed-
nesday the Save the Jail
Society expressed "continuing
deep concern" over the preser-
vation of the former Huron
County Jail which they have
been fighting to save over the
past months.
President Joan Van den
Broeck said her most im-
mediate concern was the use of
heavy machinery near the jail
wall when construction of
Assessment Office expansion
gets underway.
Mrs. Van den Broeck
stressed that she and the
Society were pleased to see ex-
pansion taking place in that
location since it saved the jail
wall from destruction but poin-,
ted out that the careless use of
machinery could .undermine or
damage the wall.
She said the Save the Jail
Society would be contacting the
Official PIan
gets third,
final reading
° After what is considered by
many an unnecessary delay, the
Restricted Area Bylaw, the
document to put the teeth in
the Official Plan, has received
the third and final reading and
is legal and binding, pending
government approval, of
course.
But this is only the begin-
ning, according to Town Ad-
ministrator Harold Walls.
"There's a monstrous
educational process ahead to
get that zoning bylaw, across,”
stated Walls.
The _next move is..to get the
bylaw to the public. Every
property owner in ' the
municipality will be mailed a
copy of the bylaw. There is also
some consideration being given
to publishing a copy of the
bylaw in The Goderich Signal -
Star, although this is con-
sidered expensive duplication
by a portion of council.
The Goderich Area Planning
Board has been charged with
the responsibility. of preparing
the presentation to the public.
-It is understood that after
each property owner has
received a copy of the bylaw,
time will be given for appeals
and a public meeting will be
called to hear those appeals.

ning the Save the Jail group as
well.
Pointing out that she
recognized these as being only
rumors for the . moment, the
S.J.S. president said more
direct moves in thnear future
to resolve the status of the jail
could avert such a situation,
Mrs. Van den Broeck also
announced that the County
Council had turned 'down a
request by Pendulum Players, a
drama group who used the jail
court yard last sumrrer, to
stage productions at the"\ jail
Huron County Council to ex-
press this concern by the next
regular session of the council.
The Society president also
said she was disappointed that
better .progress had not been
made when the Property Corn-
mittee of Huron County Coun-
cil met with the Jail Committee
of Goderich Towr. Council last
week.
Mrs. Van den Broeck said
there had been rumors that a
move was afoot to sell the
structure to -an American
developer and this was conc'er-
again this year. Tit

only one vacancy available for
a one bedroom unit."
"To keep pace with last year
we require in Goderich 60 apar-
tment units this year. With ap-
proval of Mr, Dixon's Apart-
ment, to date, we will have 49

"A, very large portion of

retired people in Goderich and
more will come if accom-

said

decided io recommend to Town
Council that no action be taken
on the matter until an official
request for rezoning is filed by.

procedure' under board policy.
Chairman Dave Gower noted,
The set back should he 20 feet
now,.not 15, and I could not pyo
along with this request as it
stands anyway."
He went on to say, "If we are
going to have these discrepan-
cies there is no use in having
these by-laws and policies."
Bert Such added, "We'll juMt
have constant frustration with
change and change and
