tests at the county fair had many participants
and prizes of money were awarded.

CLINTON COUNCIL BRIEFS
Subjects which pass
through the council chambers
CLINTON - Ron McKay, president of the
spring fair, was present at the. June 15
council meeting to express his delight in
the co-operation he and his committee
received for this year's event.
"I'm here .to pass on some com-
pliments," said Mr. McKay. "There were
no complaints by anybody, just total co-
operation."
Among those he complimented were the
police for driving through the park area
frequently, the firemen for attending the
demolition derby, public works for "pit-
ching in and giving a hand", the recreation
staff who were "just great" and Clerk -
Treasurer Marie Jefferson and Deputy
Clerk -Treasurer Ken Holmes.
Giving Mr. McKay credit for the work he
and his committee had done, Councillor'
Bonnie Jewitt said, "I only heard good
things about the fair."
Tourist Booth Moved
Clinton's tourist booth will be relocated
to what is hoped to be a more convenient
spot.
Council gave the go ahead to have the
building, presently located on Highway 8
by the Credit Union, moved further down
the highway to property, owned by Bill
Taylor where Willy's is situated.
The hydro, telephone and moving of the
building are not considered problems by
council, however, a grant from the
Ministry of 'Tourism and Recreation was
not supplied to the town as it was in
previous years, leaving the funding of
employees in the taxpayers' hands.
"I think we're looking at hiring (with
town funds). I don't think we have any
other option," said Councillor Jewitt.
Clerk Marie Jefferson said eight ap-
plications for the jobs at the booth were
•
brought to the town office in the spring but
she did not know how many were still
available.
Deputy -Reeve John Cochrane asked if
the staff could be paid with funds from the
promotion budget. When told there is
$1,500 in that account, he felt that would
assist in paying for two part time students
at minimum wage.
Councillor Ross Carter asked if more
signs should be posted to make the tourist
booth more visible but Councillor Case
Buffinga felt that wouldn't be necessary,
because in his opinion, "It'll be a whole dif-
ferent ball game out there."
Charge Lifted From Bingo Committee
After paying between $24 and $26 a year
to hold the Clinton Monster Bingo at the
arena, the committee was asked to pay
two per cent of the prize money in 1986,
amounting to $539.50.
Bill Brand appeared before council to re-
quest the new regulation be lifted. His re-
quest was granted.
"All of the money goes back into the
town so it is a charitable organization,"
said Mr. Brand. "We feel that the amount
being charged by the municipality for the
lottery licence is too much."
In explaining why they made the deci-
sion to charge the two per cent, many
councillors said they thought they had no
choice. When they realized they did, coun-
cil passed a motion to go back to the $2 per
night rate.
Promotion Co -Ordinator Hired
Council was informed that the Clinton
Business Improvement Association (BTA )
has hired a new promotion co-ordinator.
Taking the place of the previous co-
ordinator, Janice Gibson, is Joseph Ellins
of Bayfield.
