He said that lot costs in Goderich Complex committee will be bringing some concrete suggestions to council next month on the proposed rec complex for Goderich. Recreation director Mike Dymond told council that the committee was preparing a report indicating' schematic layouts of the complex, fundg - required for the proje.ct, potential site choices for, the building and an indication from council on what portion the town:will pay for the project. ' • ++ Property committee chairman Councillor Bob Allen recommended to CoUncil that they accept a plan.prepared fcir expansion of the town's fire hall and prepare to tender for the $9,099 project. Mr. Allen made the'' recommendation after council discussed housing the new fire truck the town inherited from the townships of Col rne and Goderich. truck, a tanker, was pure d by the townships for use in rural fires and will be maintained, housed and operated by the Goderich volunteer fire department. The problem of storing the vehicle was first presented to council when they were informed in the spring that the townships were buying .the truck and -agreed with the rural areas that the town would house and operate •it. The expansion was suggested' for the hall but was deferrid due to a shortage of funds in the - town budget. The fire corn- were expected to jump to about $10,000 and up inthe next year. Committee member Don Wheeler said that the lack 'of housing available in the market today was due largely to tight money. He said that people are afraid of financing large mortgages to step up in housing and are'willing to stay in their present house hoping for better times. He added that replacement costs sobn wipe out the money homeowners receivewhen they sell their house and they realize that there is no big profit to be. made buying and:selling houses to try to finally get in their dream house.. John Lyndon told the com- mittee that present needs for rental accommodation were serious without looking into the future. He said that he now had 28 applications for family units to be rented and was turning any nevi applicants away. He said the rental required by single people added to that indicated a real .need for more rental housing in Goderich. 'nary 'Davidson said that the future did not indicate relief in rental problems' He said that the only apartment building planned for Goderich was Peter Brander's which is a year away from construction" and two years away from occupation. "And then it is only 10 units," said Mr. Davidson. „ SPEED QUEEN • • I uali featuring exclusive • 4tt. :Ill • • says it a • .........44•.•••• mittee of council recommended to council that they consider • storing the old Dodge fire truck in the public works garage until next year when expansibn costs could be budgeted. Public works chairman Dave Gower told council that it was impractical to store the truck in the'works' garage saying there was already a shortage of space in the town garage and that town equipment that should be stored inside had to be left in the parking lot. Reeve Stan Profit told council that the new truck had beeri delivered to the town and that it was parked in the fire hall. He said that the trucks are Cost to economy factor in arthritis research push ''Reeent arthritis research has substantially increased our knowledge of rheumatoid ar- thritis, one of the most common and most severe' types of ar- thritis," according to Dr, Hugh Smythe, Chairman of The Arthritis Society's Medical and Scientific Committee. "There are two reasons why this is important: one because it is so prevalent and, secondly, because it can be the most disabling and deceptive form of arthritis. In terms of c.ost to the economy. it far exceeds the waste of the big killers," he says. Rheumatoid arthritis, more common among women than men, affects the whole body, noejust the joints. It may leave the patient, bedridden, or. confined to a wheelchair; unable to walk, unable to write,, unableto comb her hair or feed herself.: And she may suffer intense, "severe pain. "No matter what the type, arthritis tends to run a different course in each of its victims," Dr. Smythe points out. 'Fortunately, today there is help and there is hope. The Arthritis Society spearheads the attack on, arthritis. It en- c ou r a ges governments, hospitals and the health prOfessions to play their part in the conquest of arthritis. . . "Weare now on'the threshold of the best arthritis control program in the western world," D.r. 'Smythe continues. "And, despite the absence ,of a cure, substantial advances have been madeand there is effective treatment. '', Research and professional education supported, by the Society for 1975-76 totals $1,750,090. The research program includes a network of Rheumatic Disease Units, Associateships, Fellowships and research grants. The Arthritis Society's grants are made to help research workers •acquire the technicians, equipment and supplies necessary for the prosecution of effective ar- thritis research. . jammed into the hall so tight they reduced the ef ficiency of the volunteers because of poor access to equipment. Council took a break from the council table to tour the garage and ended up accepting the recommendation to expand the hall. The new wing wiillrinclude a heavier floor over the area that now houses the fire department's committee rbom, a 10 foot door onto the S.treet, a reinforced roof and a new washroom replacing the one that has to be removed to house the truck. The new committee rooms will be in the basement of the neighboring house just purchaSed by the town. + + + Traffic committee chairman Stan Profit toLd council Tuesday night thAt he was now going ahead with the ad- vertising for a fulltime adult rdssing guard for Victoria School. Reeve Profit told council that he had just received official word from the Huron County Board of Education that they would not reverse their decision to disband their .employment ' of the guards and that the town oveline ••..... (continued"from page 1 recover the $36,000. He said his firm could not get "Toronto prices for houses in Goderich': suggestingthat the extra costs would be doing nothing for the small house buyer. Finance chairman Bill Clifford told council that he had no .intention of asking the taxpayer to pay $20,000 to move a power line that was working efficiently the way it is. He suggested that by doing so the taxpayer would be "subsici,izing the developer". . Mr. Alexander reminded council of the "linplications of leaving the line where it is. He said that the route the line followed indicated that very little thought had gone into planning for the sotithern portion of the town. . 0- , • "The 'line should have taken .,the same route as the sewer" he said. "The,way it is now it is something that I am truthfully ,not proud of." PUC Commissioner Harry Crane reminded council of the reasoning behind the route of the ,line. He explained that when it was built seven years ago no 'one in Goderich ex- pected 'the town to grow the way it has in the short period of time. "You talk, about the future," said Mr. Crane. "Maybe in ten ' years the line will -be out of 'place in its,new location." Bill. Clifford said he was not convinced that the 'developei• ..couldn't amortize the costs to move the line. He said that based on the entire 65 acre subdivision the costs would be spread out to about $180 extra for each of the 200 lots in the plan. Council will decide next week what portion they intend to pay -- if any at all and the final decision in the matter will rest 'with Suncoast Estates Limited. The only agreement, yet to be reached is the. location of the. new ,line: Councillor Dave Gower suggested. Tuesday night that it may be common sense to move the line past the, present town perimeter to allow' for expansion of the tower before the line becomes a problem again.
