EVERYBODY SAVING A BUCK
•
Huron °County councillors: must have been boning up on the high
costs of inflation, for at their meeting last week they, sawed:no less than,
$27,600 off the, budget proposedby their own public health committed.
The cut amounted, to just about 10 per cent of the expenditure recom�,
mended by the committee.
We won't suggest whether council was right or wrong: We elect
these men to represent uss when decisions of this .kind are required,
• and we must abideby the course they take.. ;•
'
• However, some aspects of their discussion • might. just 'indicate
•
that: the councillors are not as keenly aware of today's .problems as
they could be, For example, one . of the. items which they threw out
was 'a • recommended. $4,500 for • a, nurse to work with problems of
addiction.. (This 'in the face of widespread use;of drugs by young people
and the staggering losses•which are attributable to alcoholic addiction).
'• The $4,000 proposed as salary for a geriatric nurse to ease .the.
burdens of .older people was also deleted, along with a $700 travelling
-allowance-:%r-the-two nurses_in -question:
What We cannot avoid wondering about is the reaction of the
members of the health committee which had s obviously spent a long
time deciding on the budget & health program 'they.would recommend.
The system of committee=jurisdietion-ewer. the -various -departments of
county'. responsibility seems rather pointless when a report can be' com-
pletely shredded by the.' open council;. other members of which have
not had an opportunity to study and discuss the various items at any
length.;/ .
Laudable though council's money ..saving spirit may be, it con-•
frosts rather sharply with expenditures of another. and more personal
nature,-Reeve-Der-ry- oyle-ofT-xeter•-made-his annual'--plearfor-a-
cutback in the amount of money spent. for social' affairs.. The. Exeter:
min '• said it is costing the taxpayer $4,000.`a year for. council's recre
do, "The taxpayer. shouldn'tThave"to pay for 'these friviolities," he
a,•.. "This is a place to tome for work."
A voice from the -council seats repeated the old saw. about "all
work and no play makes Jack a dull boy ', which :brought the retort
from Mr. Boyle that he . would pay for his own playing and he re-
minded -councils
e to ing : + a • ay - and that's: 'good
pay» y
There' is no 'indication' that. council was interested in reducing
the cost of "playing which is just about what it would cost to ehire
a nurse for the balance of''the year to lend a hand to old people or to
fight 'the tragedies -Of-addiction.- - •
