THE COUNTY HOME IOOTBALLL
The proposed construction of a new County H
.Horne for the Aged at Walkerton is a sub-
ject which las been. booted around ,for
weeks • by the press, county officials and
•' the man%on-the-street, who eventually x �s
going to have to . dig deeply to foot the.
"bila, ,
' , Growing confusion ,aid uncertaln'ty
Seems to be • ;about the net. result : to. date.:'
Costs ,are' estirhated to range, frorn'"between
$750,0,00 'and• a .million dollars, . of which,-
- the province .. pays 50%,•.' but 'which 'still
• leaves •a sizeable ,amount for ,40,000 Or less
Bruce County residents to. 'pay: _ The Proms
vine will. pay 70% of the .maintenance and
operating. costs of,. such •.a 'home:
•We. have .followed. the press comments
fairly closely and have provided' the news-
papers ' of the, County with articles on the'
subject : written by Warden George Joynt
and• County Horne chairman ..Harold Percy,
reeve 'of Kinloss,. in`. an ;attempt to; • enlighten..'
'the citizens of the ' County on • this . contro•
versial subject. These lengthy' articles have
not:••found space, understandably so in soine`.
• cases,' in ''all the papers and'' what. purpose
they have achieved may . thus be . limited.
At leash they, have provided fuel for
the controversy.
County Council criticism • commenced
early in the : year with the.' Wiarton `Echo's •
-
"bingeA.charge," 'on'' the part' of some mem-
bers of .:Council. Then; came the: "spending
• spree" criticism as the , County' rate was in- '
'creased' .11/2, • mills from last year's. ' 'rate.
The increased cost of county services can
best • be illustrated by' the fact that. in 1956
Luckriow" paid;- $.7, 000.00' in . County; . rates; '
in 1957,'' $9,5'.91'.00; in: 1958, •$10,620..00; .:
and this year . it will be • u
y_.. P g
To where the new County. Hoa '•will':
send �d the .1 -Ate 'remains to be seen.
But . its , construction: ` seems essential
is crad a -to -the- rave '.
`and : inevitable.,•'Tli l g
security' era ' demands it. •
The Provincial Government launched
hospitalization pro gram. the .first of the
its' hospitaliz program,
year and. scarcely/ had It become operative
before the Ontario J-lospital Services ..Com- •
Ynission,ordered the removal of chronic 'care
k.
patients' from public hospitals What is the
answer? : 'Nursing : homes : and bed care . ad-
ditions ;, for chronic . and ' senile patients to
Homes..
And so, that brings us back to Bruce.. •
Reeve Harold Percy and ' his, Committee
have worked conscientiously sincecharged
with proceeding ; with • this project, and •
while they may notpvepll theit would seem thathere were too .mfew•,
mernbers of County Council, who .•could;,.
intelligently enlightentheir ratepagers on
information., and .reports that were submit-
ted. , lf'. • quoted correctly, Chesley's repre-
sentative could not ,inform. his Board foy.
certain, on•', what portion of the: cost 4 the
Province Would pay.
That may be understandable too.
Government . at all levels has become such -
a multiplicity ofgrants, cost' sharing, new •
regulations and statutes' that it would take
the proverbial' "Philadelphia lawyer"
to
study and keep abreast of what is going
on. ..
We -don't ptofess to be any authority
on the County Home subject • but playing.
'With figures/and• innuendos will sonoth-
ing.
no -
ing. There' is 'wisdorn , in the advise .that has
been ' offered to go slow and . take ``a good.
look ,at. this •matter. Certainly sound. and.
cool-headed consideration is .required...
•, While • the location of the new home
cannot reasonably be expected to be chang-
ed, there are legitimate claims that it should
be centrally located. If : the home' were to.
be : built at ' Wiarton, it is ' natural that we
'at the South ..end, Would put up ' quite
•: holler about it.
Unfair circumstances and ; inequalities
seem to always be with us .Lucknow,, . for•
, years' and *years, has been paying its share
of County,grants to. Bruce County hospitals,
, Which we never use. -Not until Bruce made
a grant to aid the extreme southern muni-
cipalities in,.: their share of :.the cost of the
newg'win . `at the Win 'ham Hospital, did
• g p ,
we getback a nickel ofthe thousands •• of
dollars we have paid to the maintenance.
of institutions that are rarely, if' ever, used
by Lucknow residents.
And in • this vein, , we could not help
but feel that the criticism of . the Bruce
County,Home_ expenditure would not have,
bee • : nearly so loud, if such a sum had been
earmarked for wing . additions .to • various'
hospitals ,in' Bruce.
