Limited of Guelph who visited
the site prior to the meeting,
offered two solutions. He said
to remove the obstruction or
have an engineer's report
prepared to reroute the
municipal drain.
After approximately three
hours of discussion, Council
directed the Clerk to consult
the Township solicitor and to
contact engineer Shifflett
with a request to advise as to
the method to follow to have
the drain restored to its
original capacity.
Trustees from the Police
Village of Manchester
questioned Council about the
proposed Dog Control By-law
and assistance to install new
street lighting. The trustees
were informed that a by-law
could be passed by the
Township to authorize the
sale of debentures on behalf
of the police village to cover
the installation costs, and
that the Clerk would be in
touch with ,Ministry Officials
to obtain information as to the
initial steps to be taken.
eeting about drain
Council was informed that'
the engineer appointed to
undertake the survey of the
Smyth Municipal Drain had
filed" his report and it was
decided to consider the report
on Monday, October 3 at 8
p.m.
William Kinahan had
submitted a written request
for a clean-out of the Purdon
Drain and the Clerk was
authorized to ask R.
Nicholson Construction to
undertake this work.
The Clerk was directed to
Study on development
• Gc erich and the township of Goderich
decided recently to see what kind of ser-
• vices would be required to develop about
1,200 acres of land south and east of the
town's limits. The two municipalities
commissioned M. M. Dillon of London to do
an engineering feasibility study to deter-
mine what would be involved in providing
the land with hard services needed for
development.
The study, which will cost just over.
$9,000, should take about two months to
complete and should give the
municipalities an idea of what is needed in
the area. The land is to be surveyed and
mapped topographically to estimate what
is involved in putting in storm and sanitary
sewers, water services, hydro and roads.
The land has been designated for ur-
banization according to the township
secondar.y.plan-.which -wa-s -just put -into a
bylaw form. The area is bounded by
Bluewater Beach Road on the south, the
fourth concession on the east and the
Maitland River to the north. It comprises
about 1,200 acres and now is a mixture of
residential and agricultural use:
By completing the feasibility study the
two municipalities hope to find out if it will
be possible to enter a cost sharing
agreement when 'it comes time to service
the land. The township now controls the
destiny of the area but has no means to
supply hard services. The town already has
a functioning water, sewer and hydro
system and may be able to service the area
by simply expanding them or adding on to
them. The study should show if the town
has enough capability in its systems to
provide services or if new equipment will
have to he installed.
The town kept its finger in the pie by
picking up 10 percent of the cost of the
study. The township made the decision to
go ahead with the study and accep,ted•the
town's offer to pay its share.
The underlying theme of the study has
been casually referred to as co-operation or
annexation. The two municipalities co-
operate in servicing the land or they co-
operate in making it part of the town of
Goderich.
Clinton hospital expanding
The Clinton hospital, once
doomed by the Ontario
Ministry of Health and -or-
dered closed last year, is
fighting back and is taking a
major first step on the long
road to recovery: „ .
At a meeting in Seaforth,
The Clinton Hospital Board
was given first priority by
representatives of seven
other hospital boards to go
ahead with a renovation and
updating plan.
The meeting was called by
Dr. R. Khazen the ministry of
health's area co-ordinator.
Khazen was appointed to
look after the Huron -Perth
area, after local officials in
the two counties turned down
the District Health Council
idea earlier this year.
Khazen, along with R.W.
Davis, senior administrative
'consultant with the ministry
of health, had called the
meeting to discuss sub-
mission from all the hospitals
in Huron and Perth, and after
'a secret ballot was taken,
Clinton was listed as the top
hospital to go ahead with an
expansion program.
But there are still many
hurdles to go over yet, ac-
cording to Clinton hospital
board officials.
Bob Campbell, public
relations officer for the
Clinton board, said that the
representatives st- 1 had to go
back to their individual
boards for approval, and the
ministry of health in Toronto
has to give their approval yet

and supply some of the funds.
Even if all those approvals
are given, construction
wouldn't even get started
until next April, 1978.
Basically, the renovation
plans would call for the
moving of the emergency
department and the X -Ray
.department from the over-
crowded 100 -year-old wing at
the north end of the hospital,
and relocating them in the
south end of the hospital, built
in 1962, now used as ad-
ministrative offices and
board rooms.
Eventually, over a period of
several years, the old wing of
the hospital would be torn
down, and a new wing built.
The hospital board has
asked the Stratford ar-
chitectural firm of Kyles,
Kyles and Garratt to come up
with a cost estimate of
carrying out the plans, first
drawn up in 1975, but shelved
when the hospital was or-
dered closed last February.
Two other plans, to build a
new boiler room, and add a
floor on top of the 1962 ad-
dition, have been scrapped.
Clinton must come up with
a cost figure by today, Sep-
tember 15.
Beecher Menzies, chair-
man of the hospital board,
said he was very surprised at
the reaction of the other
hospital boards at the
meeting last week.
"It's an indication of the co-
operative attitude that the
hospitals in the local area are
now assuming," he said.
"The significant thing
about the meeting was the
other hospitals voted to go
ahead with Clinton's
(renovation) program,"
Menzies said.
Menzies admitted,
however, that the main
stumbling block to the
program was the attitude of
the Ministry of health, who
are still fighting a court
decision that said the
government- couldn't close
the Clinton facility.
