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 NOEL A Gift of Memory is the Richest Present you can give • • • 197) 11, ECI, 10 The 1977 Commemorative Spoon is a dramatically engraved rendition of a beloved Christmas th@me.

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.

Meeting waaadjourned. --- West Wawanosh Council reconvened on Tuesday, September 13 to take care of business postponed from the regular meeting on Sep- tember,6, which was ad- journedue to the lateness of the hour. Township Solicitor, R. R. Campbell attended the Council meeting and stressed to council the importance of passing a by-law adopting the Ontario Building Code, and requiring a building permit for new construction in the township. Mr. Campbell will prepare the by-law and forward it to the township for consideration. A draft deed and Plan of Reference for the short length of road constructed by J. W. Joynt between his residential lots on part of Lot 13, Con- cession 19, Township of West Wawanosh, were examined by Council. A motion was carried: "That West Wawanosh Township hereby accepts the road constructed by J. W. Joynt on part of Lot 13, Concession 19, Township of West- Wawar1os'h;" (an ex=' tension of Palmerston Place, Village of Lucknow) as part of the municipality's road system." - A ' by-law was passed to prohibit dogs running -at - large in the Police Village of Manchester' (Auburn) at any time, and provides for ;trictor measures to enforce .he control of dogs in Auburn. A by-law was passed to impose a special rate on Lot 16, Concessions 8 and 9 to cover the repayment of a tile drainage loan. Council concurred with a resolution from the township of Delhi to have the _Ontario. °"Govtn,ruent. ,proclaim sec- tions of the Drainage Act which were expected at the time the Act was proclaimed.
