Councillor Elsa Haydon did not vote. She was absent due to illness. Gower said other sub- division projects had been deferred in Goderich because of concern for over -loading the town's sewage treatment plant. "And here we are ap- proving a project that hasn't even had the engineer's approval," said Gower. He said he had spoken to Burns Ross about the matter and Ross had assured Gower he had never been asked for his opinion regarding the semi- detached homes proposed by Ducharme. Four more lots owned by Ray Young were also given planning board approval for a zoning change to permit. semi-detached houses, but the Young recommendation has not yet come before council. Town council did give requested by C.J. proval for a E sex for body repair shop on Highway 21 south in Goderich (for- merly the trailer park). + + + The businessmen in the Business Improvement Area Association have been requested to indicate to what extent they would be willing to participate in the first phase of a proposed beautification and im- provement recently proposed for the core area. Councillor Dave Gower suggested that before council could vote on co-operation with the businessmen in the venture, it would be best to know just what the businessmen had in mind as council's portion of the project. Council agreed. -. + + + Council voted unanimously to concur with a resolution from the Township of Charlottenburgh 'that the issue of capital punisbment be placed on the next ballot as a national referendum to allow the people of Canada to decide the issue according to their own collective con- science and thereby relieve the elected people from the responsibility of interpreting the wishes of their con- stituents". '+++ George Robertson, RR 5 Bylaw,officer Dick Eisler is trying to find a home for this little fellow and hree of his friends about the same age. Eisler found the little dog on Salt Mine Road where he had obviously been abandoned by his owners. He said he has found four pups about the same age in the past three weeks and has tried his best to find homes for them rather than see them put to sleep. Anyone interested in a pet should get in touch with Eisler through the town hall. (staff -photo) 411 HURON ROAD (B.P.

That group had its first meeting last Thursday evening. + + + A traffic committee report indicates that parents in the south end of the municipality are concerned about the speed of cars travelling along the newly paved Suncoast Drive. Parents are afraid for the safety of their children who are riding bicycles onto Suncoast Drive from side streets. Chief King has promised radar checks in the area, but has also reminded parents that traffic on Suncoast Drive does have the right of way. "And if the truth is known," the report stated, "the cyclists may be causing their own problem by not stopping before going onto Suncoast." +++ The Parks- Committee is investigating the possibility of using Fanshawe College's School of Landscape Design services to prepare site plans for several parks which are proposed for development in the municipality over the next few years. Those parks suggested for development are Dawnros.e Park, Cambridge Park, the fenced park area On the bank beside the sewage treatment plant: the: future park at the Suncoast apartment building The Goderich Area Plan - which is to he built in the new Hing I3oard sub -committee subdivision; the future park formed to study the major on the lakehank in Suncoast's proposals of the Planning Act nxw subdivision (and passibl,,tcu.i.Q _..cpm ttee _(Comay Park. "The plans could be im- plemented gradually over the years when the financial and human resources permit," the report stated.' "It is the members' unanimous feeling that this approach would be more creative as well as more realistic than any ad hoc development." The committee agreed that the town's first experience with a site plan at Jubilee Park was "entirely suc- cessful". It is understood graduating students from the School of Landscape Design are available to undertake such projects which would be completed under the supervision of Fanshawe instructors. The students would get the necessary practical experience and the municipality would benefit by having professional work of reasonably good quality at the modest cost, the com- mittee learned. Costs would include travel at 20 cents a , mile, supplies and an honorarium to the student or students. Estimates appear to .he. between $1,000 and $3,000 which is "entirely out of the question'" according to the parks committee, Further inquiries are being made by the committee` members to determine how feasible the plan will he, or possible alterations to achieve the same goals. +++ Report) have agreed to concur with the ACRO recommendations concerning the report.
