He suggested that farm assessment might baire to go up to keep pace with increased demands of urban-like development in the rural areas. "Protection of the environ- ment is not cheap," said Janes. "Anytime you're dealing with an urban area, you can run into problems of clean streams, clean air. You have to pay for them." Some discussion centred ar- ound development of lakefront property in Huron and the ques- tion was asked whether this 'land should be treated as "agricul- tural or recreational". It was pointed out the land was worth "three times as much for re- creational purposes". "It is a question of public value," said Janes. "Do you want to eat or play'?" Reeve Bill Elston, Morris Township, deplored the present system which prevents the sev- erance of lots from .farms in certain instances. He said he recognized that the Land Division - Committee was only following rules laid down for it, but said that in his township, city dwel- lers, for instance, looking a sum- mer home with estate-like qua- lities were buying whole farms. Since they were unable to sever the buildings from the land, the farmland was growing up in weeds, fences were allowed to deteriorate and related problems were developing. "It is a detriment to the neighbors," claimed Elston. "It is causing some real head- aches." Reeve Charles Thomas of Grey Township said he was in agreement with Reeve Elston. He said that Grey Township,too, was experiencing similar trou- bles, perhaps to a lesser degree than in Morris. Frayne, Ashfield, said that -he- felt the men sitting on council this year should elect the warden for 1973. "It is thib who have sat with these men and heard them speak and watched them work who are best qualified to elect the warden," claimed Reeve Frayne. There was no further comment from council. Also in council Friday, were many of the new reeves and deputy-relives who will be mem- bers of county council for the 1973-74 term. All spoke and Huron clears said "we've never built a build- ing yet which hasn't been filled." Reeve Derry Boyle ef Exeter wondered if the Huron County Library, presently in rented fa- cilities, could be moved to the pew building if it was built. He was told ground floor facilities were necessary to the library operation. Reeve Harold Lobb of Clinton could not understand why all the concern about tearing down three of the walls at the jail. "It would make the jail pro- perty a little bit smaller;" said Lobb, "Some people wanted to tearlhe building down." Reeve Bill Elston of Morris Township said- that in, his opin- ion, the county should invests, gate the acquisition of property to the west of the present asses- sment offices. He said he could understand Goderich's feeling HULLY GULLY CHRISTMAS DANCE • DECEMBER 15th MUSIC BY ."CAVALIERS" — MEMBERS FREE — Lunch and Refreshments SANTA CLAUS VISITS ON SATURDAY 16th Buffet Lunch — Refreshments Available CANDLELIGHT RESTAURANT and TAVERN Bayfield Road in Goderich — Phone .524-7711. • Friday and Saturday Nights "THE DESJARDINES" New Year's Eve Dance_ SUNDAY,- December 31st, 1972 Dance to the TWILIGHTS DINNER SERVED 8 -9 Twelve mid-night bottle of wine to say hello to 1973, followed by a snack, then on with the dance. -- Please get tickets now -- 4- T..14 Fri.15 $.16 Saturday Matinee16 1:30 p.m. PARE` StInta,74;_ 15,„„E, BEA R., CODERICH, ONT. 524 -7811 4:0> BOWERY BOYS FEATURE II a They lust couldn't find the time 1 , to bury him: They should have. a 111•)ii..1 a V1IL ficerin 'rnon In Iho woOoornean 4(4- 1=41c===x i•=41.C==41.==tic=342==as.4 sun.17 mo.18 N..19 lot 20 SMORGASBORD NEW YEARS EVE SUNDAY, DECEMBER 31st/172 From 6-9 p.m,—All you can eat, $2.75 plus tax Cocktail Lounge and Beverage Rooms.

"It is another step toward maintaining the autonomy of this county," he said. "It might help the government change its mind about a population of 150,000 being the ideal size for a region. When the main industry is agriculture, population should not be a major consideration.." "This is going to come," stated Reeve Gerry Ginn. "If you want it t o come to Huron we'd better get after it. If you want to be part of a large area, well . it is how you want it. I'd like to see it done in Huron." Clerk-treasurer for the county, John Berry said that the members of the board of health for the county had "some reser- vations" about it. "But if we want to have any voice at all, now's our chance,' he added. Chairman of the board of health, Reeve Derry Boyle, Exeter, said the scheme would not jeopardize any jobs or any boards in the county. "The government is concer- ned about health costs in the pro- vince," he said. "1 knot you're concerned about health costs. It is not going to cost the county any money and will help prevent an overlapping of health services." The board of health also re= ported that William Empey has resigned as chief health inspec- tor for Huron. The replace- ment is J. K. McCaull effective December 4 at a salary of $10,300 per annum. It is also confirmed that the nurses' office in the main office in the Court House, Goderich, will be improved and updated with nursing stations installed and some new furnishings.

Retiring members of county council spoke briefly. One mem- ber, Deputy-reeve Eugene (Continued from Page 1) the specific exercise yard slated for removal was the one, most suited for an outdoor amphi- theatre, according to experts in the field. Reeve Anson McKinley, de- puty-reeve of Stanley Township, requested that consideration be given to building the addition parallel to the present structure, on the north side. Although this would result in the loss of some parking space, he felt this ob- stacle could be overcome by re- moving exercise yards of less importance to the Goderich plans ,for the jail. • It was learned that Goderich saw the jail as a combination Museum of penology, cultural arts centre, and theatre with some facilities provided for dining and perhaps souvenirs. County councillors voted 27 to five against the county build- ing a Museum of penology at the jail and 23 to nine in favor of leasing the property to Goderich for a similar purpose. A third proposal that of the county and the Town of Goderich co-operating toward establishing a museum and/or a cultural arts centre at the site of the county jail, did not come to a vote. Reeve Charles Thomas of Grey Township asked for an ex- planation as to why the County of Huron should provide facili- ties for provincial government offices. .. "Is there a profit to be made or does it cost us money?" asked Thomas. Clerk Berry told him that on the present building, the county expects to have its initial investment, about $134,000, badk in 20 years. He also reminded Reeve Thomas that by providing additional 'Space, it would assist the county to "retain something we have now". Councillor Cecil Desjardine of Stephen Township questioned tea when no final arrangements had been made with the province for leasing the building. He was told the architectural firm of Snider, Huget and March, London, had been contacted to draw preliminary plans since that firm had constructed the present building and since it was necessary to determine approx- imate costs for the new addition for presentation to county coun— cil. Warden Elmer Hester said the province had assured the county of a "good rent" if the additional facilities were pro- vided. Ken McMichael, chairman of the property committee, admitted that the province had asked for only another 2600 square feet of space, but said the additional room to be constructed would not go unused. Clerk Berry 'said that the second floo r could possibly be used for additional court facilir ties. The Ministry of Govern- ment Services had requested the county to have another look at the possibility of additional court facilities, Clerk Berry noted. "The courts are becoming larger and more frequent," he expressed their desire to work at the County level toward a better Huron. In that connection, Reeve Paid Carroll of Goderich made a re- mark during his parting address which is,pertinent. Reeve Carroll urged all mem- bers of county council - old and jam - in 1973 to leave their urban versus rural feelings out- side the county chambers. H% suggested that council members work together with a broad out- look for the future of Huron County and all Its citizens. a---THE HURON EXPOSITOR, iSEAFCIRTH, ONT.,..DEC. 14, 1972 Loch Permits total DANCING At FAMILY PARADISE Saturday ---- Dec. 16th Silverstrings Mrs. L.

"Maybe Goderich would like to buy the additional property and present us• with it," retorted Reeve Lobb. "The property committee considered it a (6 matter of money. We couldn't see buying extra land when we already own sufficient property." Reeve s Charles Thomas agreed with Reeves Elston and Carroll that the county should -investigate buying property to the west of the assessment offices.. "I suggest the property com- mittee investigate the alter- natives," he said. "Take a look at them, particularly if the province is going to pay for the building in the long run." The entire matter was refer- red back to the property committee for further study, par- ticularly with a view to saving the exercise yards at the jail. o 0 40 O
