BY DAVE SYKES
Goderich town council took no action on a
recommendation from Police Chief Pat King to
enforce time restrictions m municipal parks.
In a letter to cotmcd received September 5,
Chief King proposed prohibiting loitering in any
municipal parks between the hours of 2 and 5
Chief King stated in his letter that there is an
increase in the number af people who remain in
the parks almost all night and in some cases. all
night. He added that in an effort to curb acts Cif
vandalism and rowdiness on' the Square the
restriction would have an -effect on the
problem_
Council delayed discussion on the letter at
the September 11 meeting and after some
discussion voted to receive and file the letter
Monday_
Councillor Stan Profit suggested that crow,ds
are congregating at eating establishments
between the hours of 1 and 2 a.m. but if these
establishments closed earlier, there would be
no tneefing place. Profit ,claintedlhat it wasn't
just. youngsters who were congregating in the
early morning bouxs either.
Councillor John Doherty saidbehaa received
calls from elderly people eorrailalning hht
squeeling tires early in the morning,
"Young people sitting in the park don't
distrub anyone," Doherty said. "The park is
there for the use of the citizens but itis themes
that are making the noise."
Councillor Don Wheeler said it wasa difficult
problem that was a symptom ef the times.
"The problem is the law itself. Viltatcanthey
say or do to someone who is not breaking the
hard law?" Wheeler questioned_ "There is no
vagrancy law and it's the social structure and
law that should be etateged?*
Deputy -reeve Ft -leen Palmer reiterated
Doherty's comments that tire squealing is the
major problem on The Square in the early
morning.
"I had calls so 1 sat in the park one Friday
evening from 12:30 to 2:30 a_m. and didn't see a

Council proceeds with garage adatti n
BY DAVE SYKES
Goderich town council agreed to a bid of
$43,845 by- Wayne and Harold Smith Con-
struction Company, Seaforth to build an ex-
tension to the public works building on Cam-
bridge Street.
In a recorded vote. with councillor Don
Wheeler voting against the awarding of the
contract. council accepted the only bid sub-
mitted for the project. Construction on the 44 by
42 foot extension to the existing building will
begin within a week and is expected to be
completed before the snow.
The addition will provide the works depar-
tment with an additional bay as well as room to
house equipment and provide repair facilities_
a, Despite only one dissenting vote there was
mild objection to the contract around the
council table. Anticipating the need for ad-
ditional facilities at the garage an estimate of
5,000 for the work was obtained in 1975_
The project was continually shoved aside due
to budget constraint but was secured in this
year's Works and Engineering budget at the
same 1975 estimate of $25,000. But only one
tender was submitted at a cost of $43,845.
Wheeler pointed out that the price was 518.000
over the estimate and ha respect to the other
financing council undertook Monday
(sidewalks and highway 21) he ;Raked: "Where
do we find theextra money?"
Works and Enghteering chairman, Dave
Gower, said he could justify the additional
expense for a budding of that nature and said
that costs had escatated since 1975 when the
first estimate was done_ He intimated the town
had additional funds this year resulting from
prepayment of school board and county levies
and investments.
Wheeler said he couldn't support the addition
claiming that if the town had -additional funds
he would like to spend it on the beaches or the
"You can't pick up money here and there and
spend it willy nilly," Wheeler said_
Reeve Bill Clifford supported the etgaenditure
saying that as the term's network of roads
grows and as more equipment is purchased it
should be kept inside and properly maintained.
"This has always been a discretionary item
that has been dropped for something else in
previous years," he aa id. "It isn't going to be
any cheaper to put it off again so we ahraild
proceed with it."
Want out of 24 hour service
Goderich taxi cab operators want the town's
• police commission to remove theclause in the
town's taxi bylaw that forces cabs to operate 24
hour service. Bruce t ettles, owner of Goderich
Taxi, and ob Prouse, owner of Bob's Taxi,
appealed to the commission Friday to drop 24
hour service requiring the two firms to operate
from six in the morning 10 11 at night_
The two taxi operators told the commission
that the 24 hour service is costly and seldom
used. Both felt that there was no need for the
town to have the taxi cabs on call because
emergency vehicles were already -available if
needed_ •
"There's no money in it," claimed Betties.
"By the time you hire a dispatcher and a driver
for the night shift you can end up going broke."
ettles said the 24 hour service was
demanded by the police commission when the
taxi bylaw was dream up to have the cabs
available for emergency use. He said am-
bulance services are on call in Goderich 24
hours a day and with fire and police vehicles
there is no need for cabs to be made available_
Beatles su ested that it was not the taxi firm's
duty to be available to drive a pregnant woman
to the hospital to have a baby.
"I would presume that would be the job of the
ambulance," said Betties, "hut some people
would rather pay us one dollar for the ride than
pay five dollars for an ambulance."
Prouse added that the only other calls the
cabs receive are from police to drive drunks
home, He said the calls are very infrequent
during the early morning hours adding that
people are "just as safe in bed at that time in
the morning".
Town clerk Larry McCabe advised the
commission that it may be a requirement of the
Municipal Act that cabs do operate 24 hours a
day. McCabe said the Act specifies what ser-
vices cab companies have W offer for permits
to operate adding that the commission would
have to check before it could give the cab
operators permission to refuse calls after 11
p.m.•
Betties said under the present bylaw the
operators are required to pick up a fare
anytime but are given a break for calls in the
early morning_ He said any fare calling for a

when we lost our administrator," 'commented
Chairman Jo Berry.
There is some indication that the County of
Huron or the Town of Goderich might assist the
hospital to raise the necessary 540,000. The
hospital's finance committee has also `• ap-
proached the Sully Foundation and made some
"tentative inquiries" with an eye to getting the
money from "outside sources".
There was even a suggestion that the board
sell bricks to private individuals - buy so many
t -
bricks, get your name on one_
The matter is still under investigation by the
board.
