The Huron Expositor, 1960-06-23, Page 13HURON .. DISTRiBUTES INSURANCE . COMMISSIONS AMONG AGENTS . Yew' Property Gaimnnitten haft been very active Since the last session of council and have held several meetings. I believe that it is advisable in presenting this re- & port to divide it in two sections. The fist section will deal with the matter of distributing the insur- ante commissions amongst the va- rious' county agents. The second rertion gular bmatters p��with ertaining tothe Property Committee. In addition to the Property Com- mittee, the chairmen of other com- mittees concerned met to discuss the matter of •county insurance. In order to acquaint the committee with all the particulars a survey was made of the status of the var- ious agents within the county. This information was requested from the local Clerk and in most cases the required information was re- ceived. There were one or two in- cidents however where the infor- mation was .not forthcoming. In order to establish some system of evaluating the various agencies it was agreed upon 'a point system. As a result of this method, the fol- lowing agents were given various points: t Town of Clinton—H. C. Lawson, 7 points; K. W. Colquhoun, 8; Miss Emma Levis, 4. Town of Exeter W. Herman Hodgson, 8; Wm. C. Pearce, 5; John Burke, 4. Town of Goderich—Alexander & Chapman, 8; Malcolm Mothers, 8; Harold W. Shore, 6., Town of Seaforth—J. A. •Cardno, 8; W. E. Southgate, 8; E, H. Mun- roe, 5. Town of Wingham—Mrs. A. E. Vanstone, 4; Michael McPhail, 4; Stewart Scott, 7; •11. C. MacLean, 8. Village of. Blyth—Bernard Hall, 5; Elliott Insurance Agency, 8. Village of Brussels—Glenn Ron- ' neberg, ,6; W. S. Scott, 4; Selwyn Baker, 6. Village of Hensall—Jas. A. Pat- terson, 4;. Donald.. JoYnt,_ 6; L. McNaughton, 4. Village of Zurich—,E. F. Klapp, 4; •J-acob Haberer, 4. Townships: Ashfield, Durnin Phil- lips, 6; Colborne, Gordon Jewell, 4; Hay, Bert Klopp, 4; ' Howick, Norman Wade, 4; Stanley, John E: Howard, 4; Stephen, Joe E. Gunn, 4; Tuckersmith, W. C. Oke, 4; Usborne, N. G. Clarke, 4. The committee further recom- mended that the McEwan Insur- ance Agency at Goderich act as a liason between the County Council and the Frank Cowan Agency. It • was felt that this would expedite claims and matters pertaining to county insurance by having a re- presentative located in Goderich. We would recommend that the Mc: Ewan Insurance Agency- be given 25 percent of the over-all commis- sion to act as the county brokers. We further recommend that the balance of the commission account be distributed on a point basis, each point .being valued at so much money, depending upon the com- mission due to the Commission Ac- count. This distribution will be made by the Frank Cowan Com- pany of Woodstock. The committee would like to make one further recommendation in connection with the distribution of the 1960 commission. In the year 1960, the fleet insurance, which was carried by Alexander & Chap- man was transferred to the Frank Cowan Company at which time it was felt that this particular'•agency did suffer some financial loss, which could amount to approxi- mately $200. Under these circum- stances it is recommended by your committee .that $100 be taken out of the commission account and paid directly to Alexander & Chap- man, plus their regular commis- sion they would receive on the point basis. This would be for the year 1960 only. ' We would recommend that the foregoing matters be adopted by county council to be the method used in future for distributing the insurance commissions to the var- • ious agents concerned. Tenders for the supply of'fuei at the County Jail were received from the following: Sault Coal Co., $25 per ton; Overholt Coal Co., $23 per ton till March 31, 1961; A. G. Grigg & Son, $22.90 per ton; S. A. Mont- gomery, $23 per ton. It was agreed by the committee to' accept the tender of the A. G. Grigg & Son Co., of Clinton, for supplying coal to the County Jail' , at the amount of $22.90 per ton. Tenders for supplying fuel oil for the Court House and Registry Office will be called for during the summer and report of that will be in the September session of coun- cil, A year ago repairs were made to the steit►s at the south entrance to the Court House, the cracks being filled in to prevent water from seeping through and causing the steps to deteriorate. It has been agreed by the committee that re- pairs to the steps at the north en- trance should be made and also at the Registry Office. The work at the Registry Office has been practically completed, There is certain finishing neces- sary and when this work has been done the final account will be paid. The total cost for this work was $2,998.06 for the actual contract, plus moving equipment, ete., of approxithately $300. Your committee have inspected the County Jail on a number of oct:asions and have noticed the out- side walls need some repairing and prices are being obtained on this work, Also that a certain amount of painting and puttying around the windows . is required and a limited amount of work has also been authorized for inside the jail residence. In addition to these items, shrubbery is being purchas- ed for some of the flower beds in an effort to improve the outward appearance of the property. The Governor of the Jail, Mr. Bell, who is a Civil Service em- ployee, for pension purposes, has requested a change in his salary status to assist hint in obtaining a better pension. At theresent time We are paying Mr. Bell $$106:01 There is many a child now grown and giving hizn a free house, Mr. Bell has asked that we iucrease his salary and deduct. the amount of the increase as 'rent. This will give him a larger inueme for pen- sion purposes; but at the sante time does not cost the county any fur- ther money, ,M.r. Bell has some three or four years to go before retirement and it is during this time that the actual pension cal- culations are made. Therefore, in order to assist Mr. Bell ih this way we, would recommend to county council that the Governor's salary be increased by $1500, and that this increase be deducted as rent from the said salary.. This change in policy to be effective July 1, 1960, and at the same time this would amend our salary sche- dule accordingly and further that a by-law be prepared as indicated' above. • Your .committee have discussed 'the advisability of repairing the body of the station wagon, or whe- ther they should consider trading it in on a new one. Prices have been obtained in connection with body work and it will cost between $175 and $200 to have this work completed, and at the same time your committee felt that there was -no definite guar- antee that further work would not be necessary next year, and also there is a very strong possibility of other work being required in view of the age and the mileage on the vehicle.—Art Gibson, Chair- man, tr A���ce►�, a e! Committee ores To -Clear. $10:0i Nine tenders for supplying 'weed spray for the current year 'were received. The lowest tender Was that of -Chemical Specialties Asso- ciation of Sarnia, and the tender was awarded to them accordingly. Your committee met with rep- resentatives of the Junior Farmers in connection with the sign pro- gram. There is one sign already erected and this was- viewed by the committee on the location, just south of Exeter. It'was agreed by the committee that the Farmers be given authority to spend a maximum of $600, includ- ing the .$50 already allocated, for the purpose of erecting 12 signs. These signs are to be located as near as possible to the. boundaries of the county and not further than one miles unless authorized by the committee concerned. In addition to this, it was recommended by the committee that the word "Coun- ty" be added to the present sign.— Valentine Becker, Chairman. The driver backed his dump truck too far over a fill, and the weight of the load lifted the front end off the ground several feet. "What are you going to do now?" asked another driver. The driver contemplated his situ- ation, then replied: "I think I'll grease it. I'll never have a better chance," HURON C.A.S. SUPERINTENDENT RECALLS 20 YEARS' SERVICE: As this is my last report to you as director, will you bear with me as I go backward over these 20 very happy years in the service of the county and review with me the work and service as they have un- rolled. ..- At that June, 1940, meeting in the Court House where the Liber- als sat on one side and. the Con- servatives on the other, I heard Mr. Harry Edwards give his re- port, ending by saying: "Under all circumstances we tried to keep the child's interests at heart and with this in mind acted as seemed advisable in ;all cases." As he in- troduced, me to my first experience of speaking to a body of men, I believe that I told you"' had heard that this was the best county with the best people to 'be found, and with such consideration as was giv- en its children I could believe it. Many of those faces and good friends of the society are gone— Mr. Erskine, Mr. Edwards, Dr. Barnett, Mrs. Redditt, Mr. Archi- bald, Mr. Bowman and Mr. Wilkes —as are • those who worked so closely with us in the care of our children—Dr. Connell, Dr. Gallow, the Dr. Grahams, Judge Costello and. Judge Holmes. They are faces I shall always miss, but how grate- ful I am to have had the oppor- tunity of working with them and of knowing them, feeling a partner with them in this work in which they, , were interested. Gone al- so, due the new Hospital Act, is that wonderful arrangement with Wingham Hospital Board through - Mrs. Morrey of foster homing our babies. We had such security in knowing the first days of a child's life were in such capable, watch- ful hands. That year of 1940, the first year of the war, your..society with Dr. Barnett as president, accepted a social worker to assist your super- intendent. This was a peaceful, prosperous town and county and we little thought of shortages, of the long line of the A1tt'& P the magic word of 'salmon' would bring of the coal oil lamps brought out to conserve hydro, of gas ration- ing, or that the war could possibly last but a few months longer. Changes that we have now come to accept 20 years, later seemed impossible, In all, that year your society had 32 new cases with 298. visits, 175 interviews, 12 court cases and 14 adoptions„ but this was suddenly 'changed. The' Department of Pub- lic Welfare asked for the closing of the Shelter, as well as for the investigation of all homes offering to accept war guests, children who were being evacuated from Eng- land. We investigated 158 homes before the service was stopped due to the sinking of a boat carrying children. Huron County received five war guests who became a credit to their "hosts on the hill." The next year the society was asked to undertake investigations for the Dependents Board of Trus- tees. This board granted financial assistance for unexpected expense in the families of the men serving overseas. We made. 510 investiga- tions and grants of over $35,000.00 were given in the 421 applications which were accepted. As we found over 60 per cent of our time was taken up with the problems of war, we longed to get back to work with our children. We were becoming more socially conscious and with the closing of the Shelter more and more homes were needed.to accept our children at the rate of $15 a month allowed. By 1945 again we found our prob- lems changing. The servicemen re- turning were settling down to ev- ery day life, but many . who had remained at home found it diffi- cult to get back to the common place after the excitement of dat- ing and the atmosphere that war brings of no thought for the future. This with our beverage rooms tak- ing the mothers out of the hopie part of the day and night brought our child protection to a new head. In 1946 Harry Edwards resigned. This society and county owes much to his wisdom, foresight and com- mon sense. His steady co-operation with county council was the means of bringing us today to the uni9ue and enviable position we held with- in the Province. Mr. Edwards was the second superintendent of the society following Mr, G. M. Elliott. to adulthood whowill remember their consideration and kindness. Miss McGowan came on to help with our growing load. She had the advantage of being born and brought up in -•the county and the friendship of many throughout its boundaries. That year we had our first Christmas for our children: We were_given $10 to spend for our wards and never since have we had such pleasure as we did in spending that. money, By 1947 through Miss McGowan's links with several churches, we were receiv- ing White Gifts and so our Christ- mas work which has grown to such great lengths started. The Director of Child Welfare came at the request of the presi- dent, Mr. Wilkes, to reorganize the society in 1949. At that time A. M. Robertson, the faithful sec- retary of the board for 38 years, resigned. Our board was enlarged, taking in members from all parts of the county. Larger quarters were recommended, as well as a new worker, Miss White, who with her nurse's experience, could help with our babies. We secured a Receiv- ing Home in Zurich, Mr. and Mrs. Meyers accepting our problems for a period of nearly 10 years. We had three clothing centres throughout the country and we Were to become responsible to the official guardian for investigations in all divorce cases where there were children under 16, as well as all investigations where they were complaints, regarding a family's use of Family Allowances, Miss White left for the Mission Field and Mrs. Ross took her place to take the court work and the re- ports to the Judge, as we now had a Juvenile and Family Court with- in the county. We had known' the appointed Judge Holmes as Crown Attorney, and he spent many hours of his time with us on family and juvenile problems, in emergency conducting court in our office. We have been fortunate in plac- ing some of our o der children and in some instances miracles have been worked by the patient under- standing foster 'parents where an unadjusted child has been accept- ed as if he were born to them,'As one foster mother put it, "he even has the same ,allergies as we". This is our most rewarding piece of work.' We find the age of our unmarried mothers is much younger, though the numbers arid trends seem to fluctuate, but very little. We are so grateful for the help of the Sal- vation Army and their wonderful home in London. All of this we do as a team with the Welfare Office, the Probation Officer, the Health Unit, the Sal- vation Army, as well as the court, the churches, schools and doctors who help in every respect. This again is done through your inter- est being inspired first by Mr. Ers- kine and now by Mr. Berry and the members of council! many of whom make up the major part of our board. We are fortunate in having few staff changes and the backing of our board. The county and society are especially privileged to have our president for the past 10 years, Rev. R. G. MacMillan, take over the post of director in October. I can visualize the opportunities and the lengths to which this society can progress. He comes 'at a time of change in many ways—new leg- islation, new officials in court. There are many new, varied and difficult problems on the horizon, even the raising of our per 'diem rate due to this legislation, and this I have tried so hard to keep down. The thought of all this change could possibly be a compensatk9i for growing old. This past year of work I can report we have travelled over 52, - boo miles to make 6,588 visits. We have had 5,424 interviews and tele- phone calls, 344 court attendances, made 14 addresses and sent out 2,346 letters and reports. We car- ed for 181 children in their own homes, made 29 children perman- ent wards, 10 temporary wards, had 138 children in our foster homes. We completed 68 adoptions, with 29 new unmarried parent problems, we supervised 50 dur- ing the year, interviewing 13 of the Men involved.—(Mrs.) Mary ,P.' Chaffee, Local Director. • WORK .' AV,NCES,ON CLINTON NE PROPERTY CO1 .MITTEE TELLS COUNCIL Again we are dividing this ream into :two sections, the . first part covering the current activities at. the. County Rothe and the second part covering a report from the architect in cgnneetton with pro- gress of the new addition. Since the •last session of council your committee has met regularly every month and considerable bus- iness has been transacted therein. The new per diem rate for 1960 is $2.52, but in order to maintain an equal rate throughout the year we established the per diem rate on a monthly rate and the result be- ing a charge of $77.00 a month for the current year. This rate is es- tablished, by' the Department of Welfare in Toronto. , Your committee agreed to re- place certain furniture in the alt_ ting room next to the main crit' trance and as a result are buy- ing three settees and two chairs through the Currie Furniture Co.,° of Wingham. Your committee have again en- gaged the two Collins boys for working on the Farm during the summer months at a total price of $150.00, plus their dinners. The Superintendent advised •that at certain times it was necessary to secure part time help and the committee agreed that the Super- intendent could engage such help as required at a rate of $6.00 a day, plus dinners. Under instructions from the De- partment of Welfare, a fire drill is now being held regularly amongst the members of the staff. Dr. Thompson, the staff physi- cian, interviewed the committee again m connection with his sal- ary for the year 1960. Previously the committee had recommended that there be no change in the sal- ary of the County Home physician for the year 1960, and again wish to make this recommendation to council that no `change be made for the current year. The following is a report from our architects in connection with the progress -being- made- at • the County Home: (As Architects_ for the Huron County Home addition, we submit the following report on construction progress to date:) The General Contractors, Con - Eng Contractors Limited, started work at the site early in Decem- ber, and concentrated on the north bed care wing during the winter months. Concrete footings and foundation walls were poured, and at present the exterior masonry walls have been completed up to second floor level. Interior first floor tile partitions are now being built. Concrete foundation walls for the east special care wing were pour- ed early in April, and the exterior masonry walls are now completed to roof level. The concrete floor slab will be poured in this area once the radiant heating floor in- stallation has' been made, Concrete • walls have been pour- ed in the central administration wing, and these will. be extended south to the 1954 addition as condi- tions allow.

We and our consulting engineers consider that the work being done is of an extremely high standard. Respect- fully submitted.: L. G. Bridgman, Architect; R. 0. MacTavish, Asso- ciate Architect." In addition to the;foregoing pro- gress report, your committtee wish to submit further comments re- garding the work in progress. First of all, certain equipment has been sold by tender and the following prices realized: Cleaver Brooks steam boiler, $2,380; Robt. Bell, upright boiler, $51; 5,000 -gal- lon oil tank, $350.' Your committee are concerned to some degree at the charges being made for extras in connection with the construction work. At the pres- ent time we have this matter un- der discussion and hope to ,have further information before our next regular committee meeting. The members of the committee feel that in some cases the charges are excessive. Furthermore, we are in the pro- cess of preparing to order furni- ture and have had some discussion in connection therewith, but have taken little action up until the pre- sent time. This will be one of the main items for your committtee to undertake during the next few months. The Department of Welfare in Toronto 'complained of the type of laundry equipment which we were installing in The .new. addition to the Home, even although they had approved the equipment last De- ceniber. However, further discus- sions were held in connection therewith and we are proceeding as originally planned and still feel convinced that the equipment be- ing ordered is the most suitable for the job. The foregoing is a complete re- sume of the activities at the pres- ent time in connection with both the operations of the Home and of the building program. We do hope that we will be fav- ored with good weather and that the building will progress more rapidly in• the next few months.— W. Morritt, Chairman. "When I was in New York," Ralph said, "I saw a fellow drop his watch from the top of a tall building, then go down on the ele- vator and rush out into the street to catch it." "That sounds impossible," re- marked his listener, "Well, the watch was slow." Moisture Aids Twee Planting, Forestier Says Moisture conditions this sprhig, while they have hindered some farm operations, have -been a bene- fit to tree -planting work in the Huron County forest, and an priv- ate lands where assisted tree - planting has been done in Huron, council was told Thursday by Lar- ry Scales, Stratford, zone forester for the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests. The exception, he said, is that trees planted late in May may not do so well, because tree growth was coming rapidly before the end of the month, and some of the baby trees may have been too far advanced for success- ful transplanting. In the Huron County Forest of 1,337 acres, he reported, a total of 85,500 trees, including 30,500 white pine and 55,000 white spruce, were planted • in four tracta this spring, and seem to be away to a good start. The plantings consisted of 50,500 in the Sheppardton Tract, Colborne Township; 18,500 in the Robertson Tract, Colborne .Town- ship; 11,000 in the Stingel Tract, Ashfield Township; 5,500 in the Collins Tract, Grey Township. In addition, said Mr: Scales, 62,- 5110 trees were planted this spring on land in Huron County that is owned by the Middle Maitland Con- servation Authority. Planting on private lands this year, under the plan by which the county gives financial assistance to reforestation, was done on 11 properties, with a total of 135,600 trees. The tracts planted included properties owned by Cecil B. Payne,.. Grey Township; John Hind - marsh and M. K, Mote, Goderich Township; the Maple Grove Syndi- cate Stephen Township; H. Mc- Leod and T. B. Cann, Tuckersmith Township; R. Raymond Redmond, Alden J. Purdon, W. H. Purdon and J. D. Beecroft, East Wawanosh Township; by the village of Hen- sall, at the village dump in Usborne. 'Township. Assistance under, the plan, Mr. Scales explained, is limited to 20,- 000 trees a year for any one -land- owner, and to a,total of three years planting for any one landowner. The Huron County Forest, estab-., Iislied by land purchases during 1945-51, had revenues this past win- ter of $200 from the sale of Christ- mas trees, and $25 from the sale of fuelwood, Mr. Scales reported. Including the work done this spring 1,288,600 trees have been planted to establish "the county forest, 50th STATE AT 49th TRY Before Hawaii became the fif- tieth state of the Union last year, no less than 48 Hawaiian `statehood bills had• been introduced unsuc- cessfully in Congress. The "Book of Knowledge describes it as • a state made up of 20 islands in the Pacific, nearly 2100 miles south- west of San Francisco. The popula- tion is 600,000, of whom pure-bred Hawaiians, descendants of the Polynesians, comprise a very small percentage. NOTICE TO TAXPAYERS IN ARREARS Town of Seaforth At the Council meeting on Monday, 13th June, the Finance Committee reported that a review of financial statements over the past 10 years has shown a steady increase in talc arrears accumulating, except for the year 1957, when a tax sale was instituted. On the first of January, 1960, the total tax arrears amounted to $57,268.00. This sum represents 38.5%' of the total levy for the Town of Seaforth for the year 1959. The Committee pointed out that it was cost- ing the Town over $10.00 a day in interest rates, and involved a sum over the year that would mean two mills on the tax rate. It is felt by many members of the Council that some citizens delib- erately have neglected paying their takes as a cheap method of borrowing. Of course this "cheap method" is at the expense of their fellow -citizens and taxpayers. In view of this situation, the Committee recommended to Council: 1. Immediate steps for a tax sale. 2. Court proceedings against unpaid business tax. a. A personal letter to all delinquents, warning them of action. 4. Investigating the possibility of increasing the late penalty and interest charges on unpaid taxes. 5. Within. 30 days the publication in the newspapers of a list of all delinquent taxpayers. Council concurred in the report of the Committee and action, as recommended, is now being taken. P. L. BRADY, M.D., Chairman, Finance Committee Town of Seaforth SEAFORTH, JUNE 15,1.960.
