The 'finance .committee reported
'that it hada delegation- from' Blue
• Water' 'Fesi•Horn e' asking for consid•,
eration toward financial assistance
• in connection':with the capitahcost'
of this home. The'Blue Water 'Rest
Home cornes'under''the' Charitable
• Institutions Act, 'and as. a result,.' ,
is eligible for provincial assistance
through •the Ontario Department of
Public Welfare.
• Majority of die Finance Committ-
ee felt that this particular Home is
caring for. or Could care for ,
some residents who might'nornna1ly
be `admitted to 'Huronview" . the
Huron County' Home. near, Clinton,:
Kenneth Stewart: McKillop, chair
• man of the• Finance COmmittee
presented the case for the Blue
W;pter Rest Home which his corm,:
ittee had backed: He said that mon
ies would be available as. G.oderich.
Hospital would be paid 'off this
year. He mentioned that the Rest
Home.has 25 residents at the pre-
sent. time
• J'. H. Corbett, Hay.. told Council
his mother wasa resident there; he
had visited it and it was a .very ..
'beautiful place.
Duff•Thompson, Clinton,. asked
about where the money wasto
come from
Clerk -Treasurer. J.G.. Berry ,
explained'' that final payment would
be made this year to'Goderich'Hos-
. pital; Wingham had already been
paid off. Normally the 'County was
• setting aside $50,000 per, year for
• hospital° purposes'. ;
James Hayter, Stephen said he'
'was in favour of the grant but. he
thought the County should be' con
tacted before any such Horne was
built in the future'. He thought the
County had plenty of space at •
;' Huronview" , " I Feer we can't
• •afford all' these luxuries," he stated
George'Wonch, 'Clinton. agreed.
with•James Hayter. ' blit there must.
bea limit to these things and',a
policy must be laid on:,
Alvin D. Smith,: Turnberry, . said
-he had heard' that.there were non -
;residents of Huron County in the
• Horne or contemplating coming.
He'felt that a county=supported'
Home, should be ,for Huron County
people only.
Leroy Thiel, Zurich, replied that
in the *event the Home isn't filled*,
the Province had the right to bring.
in patients . Marry' said ,it' was, an
individual organization; actually it
was a non-profit group. 'The •build-
frig programme would be a finan
'dal benefit toy the.County of Huron
the cost was $400 per bed, whereas
the 'cost at 9'Huronview" was•
$10 , 000 per bed._"If we can get
around spending that, kind :of money
this offer should be picked up," he
declared,
"No matter where it comes from, ,
as it seems. the 'money►:is still coin
ing out of the ratepayers."' James.
Hayter.. Stephen, declared. . .
Harold Robinson , ` Howick;. declar
ed heatedly -that he .would'. never be
ih •favour of this type of thing un-'
til. the County had definitely ,de
Glared a . policy„.
' : Wilmer.: Hardy, Colborne, thought
Council would be overstepping its
jurisdiction. The mattershould
come up. in 1968.
Everett McIlwain, Goderich Town
ship,, questioned the legality of
such: a .move to commit the 1968'
Council
Stewart Procter: Morris: said the
Provincial Government had author-
ized an
uthor-izedan increase from '25 to 65 beds
in the Home. ;It:was 'up to the Prov-
ince; he ` felt. "What happens when
help?" he asked. '
Warden Donald' McKenzie, Ash-
field ,' was of the ,opinion that the.
matter go back to committee in
order to declare a county -wide
policy. perhaps to limit such
•
grants, if made., to $400 per bed.
Mr. McKenzie .moved , seconded
by Calvin Krauter, Brussels,. that it
goback to. committee.
Calvin Krauter; Brussels, declar-
ed;„'''Don't.forget, the owners of ,".
nursing homes all Over the county
will be right here looking for help
if we .make,this grant." He
mentioned that one privately -own-
ed nursing home in Goderich:, had
spent $90,000; another in. Brussels
had spent $75,066, all' out 'of their
own pockets;'He couldn't see why
any one place such as this .should .
be favoured:over the others.
The matter was referred, back, to
the Finance Committee to submit•.,
a. report at. the November Session
of .County Council;

piness when they donate to ' the
