PUC board member, Herb Murphy, was present at the meeting an informed council off the utilitie's desire to construct a new sub- station at the south-west end of Goderich to augment the town's overtaxed system. Reeve Bob Allen told Murphy he, was surp- srised with th9e plans presented by,:, the PUC, insisting the utility board had led council to believe that the,new station would be erected on Britannia Road, replacing an existing sub- station. PUC- manager Al Lawson appraoched council in September requesting they obtain a debenture in the amount of $125,000 for the construction of a new sub -station. The PUC would bear all costs of the debenture and the new 5,000 kilavolt station would ensure an adequalte electrical supply for the town. He said alternate site would be sought. at that meeting he wasn't sure if the Britannia Road station would be replaced or if an Domtar plans expansion BY DAVE SYKES Domtar Chemicals announced plans this week it plans to increase the production capacity of -a division plant here by 55 per cent. Jim Morgan, vice-president of Dom tar's salt division, said the company will soon proceed with a $25 million expansion program at the -Domtar salt mine. The proposed expansion plans will increase the mine's capacity to 3.5 million tons a year from 2.25 million tons. The expansion is necessitated to meet growing demands in both Canada and the United States for rock salt, used extensively for ice control on roads and also for chemical and industrial applications. Expansion at the, mine is expected to boost employment by about 75. The mine presently. employs 225 personell. Domtar has rock salt mines in Goderich, Cote Blanchem La., and evaporator plants in Amherst, Nova Scotia and Unity, Saskat- chewan. Reeve Eileen Palmer backed Allen's allegation saying Lawson appraoched council for the debenture to replace the sub -station on BritanniaRoad near Huron Road. Palmer suggeste' money could be saved by moving lines. "The manager advised council the debenture was -for the Britannia-Picton station but we've been misled," she said. "At that time there was no mention of a new lot." - Murphy told council the PUC has an offer of purchase on a lot at the end of Eldon Street on which it intends to contruct a new 5,000 kva station. He claimed that costs of replacing the 3,000kva station on Britannia and building a new 5,000 kva station were similar.

HALL BOARD The Auburn Com- munity Memorial Hall Board held an open meeting last Thursday evening to decide whether to move the stage or not. Last fall it had been. made a motion to leave as is but due .to public discussion it was thought best to hold another meeting to decide one,' way or the other before insulating is done.

The minutes of the previous meeting were accepted as read by Mrs. Donald Haines, secretary.

A letter was received from the Ontario Geographic Names Board written at its 26th meeting November 22, 1978 about the request of a change of name for the unincorporated place, Manchester to Auburn which had been requested on June 23, 1978. This change had been advised by personnel in 1975 to accord with both established local usage and the official post office name, Auburn. The change has beet' recommended by this Board on the information submitted by the following: G. R. Taylor, OPP Corporal, Goderich; W. D. Mansell, Ministry of Natural Resources District Manager, Wingham; J. K. Scott, Postmaster, Auburn; C. Vincent, Hullett Town- ship clerk; Mrs. W. Thompson, East Wawanosh clerk; Mrs. J. C. Armstrong, West Wawanosh clerk; Warner Andrews, chairman, Police Village trustees, Manchester; Frank Raithby, secretary, Village of Auburn (Police Village of Manchester, unincorporated). , The origin of the name Auburn is unknown but it is thought by early set- tlers that the post office was given this name to avoid confusion with another Manchester in Ontario: Information for the research was used from the History of Auburn published by the Auburn Women's Institute and Tackabury's Atlas of the Dominion of Canada and OGNB files which cite reference to Manchester, hamlet, Auburn, P.O. in "Hermon's 1862. As Auburn starts its 125th birthday celebrations it is very fitting that the official word has come now that Auburn is to be the of- ficial name from now on although the name Manchester will come up again on deeds and be recalled several and many times' during the Birthday Party, June 29, 30, July 1 and July 2.
