The developers representing

claimed that if the oversize

LIP funds mcreas
During the past aveek. the,
Goderich Police Department
also laid 11 charges under the
Canada Manpower and paid out for six projects across' Liquor Control Act, f seAven
.Immigration announced this
week that applications for
grants under the Local
Initiative Program are now
available at . the' manpower
office. All applications for
grants for ,projects this winter
must be submitted • to man-
power on or before September
12, 1975.
The LIP project funding this
year has been increased by the
federal government. Last,
year's ceiling of $75,000` has
been increased to $100,000 for
non -municipal . projects and -
$150,000 for''municipali'ties.'The.
project length has been in-
creased four weeks.. All
projects' must finish on or
before June 26, 1976, and may
begin as early as November 3,
1975. "

PUC manager Dave Rolston
told council that there is no real •
need to move the line from a

possibly doubling or tripling the
line's present• voltage depen-

He pointed out, however, that.
after the area 'has been

line were on a' strut rather

The manager explained to
council that he had investigated
the costs of moving the line and
had secured an estimate from a
Toronto firm, He said the-
company
hecompany would allow the town
a $5,000credit' for the line
already up and would charge
$47,000 to - move it, adding up to
a $42,000 bill to have it shifted.
PUC commissioner Harry
Crane told council that the
commission was not dead set
against moving the line, but it •
couldn't justify the expense. He
explained that with cost of
living, taxes and everything
else up 'so high today• he
couldn't understand- why the.
taxpayer should -be burdened,
with a' cost that is not real
necessary. , •
Reeve Stan Profit agreed
with . the. commissioner,,
pointing out that there was no.
need for the PUC to bring the
matter to council. The reeve
claimed- the expense was

responsibility and they should
work it,out themselves,,
-Councillor Dave Gower
backed the reeve, claiming the
PUC had passed -the buck_ to-
_
council. He said that council
had no money to' spend on this
sort of project, adding that if
the PUC had the funds and
wanted to move the line, they
should go ahead. , .
1`That's why we're .fiere,"
countered Mr: Crane. "We
aren't passing the buck but we
don't have any,, money and the
developers asked 'us to meet
with council to see if the costo
could be met by all three
parties."
''^Bert Alexander offered a
possible cost saving plan that
could be investigated.' He
suggested that the Toronto firm
would. not be. coming here to
take on the job for much less
than 30, percent profit and
pointed out that this money
could be. saved if the PUC did
the job themselves.
"I'm not sure the PUC
c ouldrl't do the job for the 30
percent less than the,. Toronto
company and do it better;'" said
the developer.
+-"Mayor Deb Shewfelt
suggested that the PUC in-
vestigate the possibility of
doing the work themselves to
assure. that. the beauty Cif' the
town .,,could be preserved at.
little cost.
"I want to stay here and' I
would hate to see the area
developed in a hodge podge
way and that's what it looks
like to nie, a bloody mess,"said
the mayor.
He added that the town,
operates on a co-operative
basis between all. bodies and
businesses. He said he ap-
preciated the consultation the •
three -groups had on the subject
and asked that they check out
the cheapest possible way t
line could be moved and., then
come back to council with the
proposal.
