"The only way to overcome this is to keep the pay scale up to date," he said. He also said that the raise was justified because of the "heavy year long demands of the job. , Reeve of Grey Township, Charles Thomas, said that ac- cording to his calculations a county councillor could earn about $8,000 but that the money made up for income lost while serving. • Many of the councillors agreed that they could no longer replace themselves at home for- the amount they could two years ago. Reeve John Flannery told council that inflation had to be stopped and suggested that turn- ing down the wage increase would be a good place to start. In their budget report the committee brought down in- creases across the board. The budget for members of council was increased from $41,450 in 1972 to $53,700 in 1973. It was explained that much of this increase resulted from the , additional mernber's of council. milimiiimminimmummumnimiimummin INCOME TAX PREPARED FOR FARMERS BUSINESSMEN attl INDIVIDUALS — Reasonable Rates — Phone today for an early appointment RONNENBERG INSURANCE AGENCY Open in Brussels Tuesdays and Fridays • PHONE 887-6663 All other days Monkton — 347-2241 17 year's experience of income tax preparation 111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 Lori of Clinton, Mr. and mrs.

"When we first opened ne- gotiations to consider ex- panding the building," Mr. Lobb explained, various aspects were discussed and one was expand- ing to the west. The committee felt there was no need to buy extra property when land was already owned by the County so , that ruled out riming west." "We have a letter on file from the County solicitor indicating that the people immediately ad- jacent to the west of the Assess- ment Building are not in any way interested in selling their property to the County. It is not the intention of the County to ex- propriate land,'.' he added. "Another proposal has also been suggested and given very serious consideration," he said. "That is to extend the present building on pillars out over the parking lot and then build either one' large main floor watch would correspond with the second floor of ,the present building . There might be some problems with height restrictions here which could possibly be overcome." "The suggestion was made that we should dig out the park- ing lot and provide expansion in this manner. In the first place this would eliminate a lot of valuable parking, and in the second placethere is a water problem in connection with that area and this would be practically Impossible," the property com- mittee chairman explained. Referring to the Open House held Sundayi February 18, Mr. Lobb noted that from talking to various people it was apparent "the majority who visited the Jail came only out of curiosity and more particularly to see where Steven Truscott was held and where the public hangings had taken place." The vacant jail was closed tf* as an active prison last year by the province and sat in disuse until the County decided to tear down one wall to make room for the Assessment building ex- pansion. February 19 P, C, candidate Don Southcott announced that he had been assured by Warden Roy pattison and property committee chairman, Harold Lobb, that no action would be taken regarding destruction of the wall until April 1. Following Friday's meeting Mr. pattison said Mr. Southcott had been told such a postpone- ment was "possible". A number of councillors at- tacked the press in connection with reporting the announcement. -"lans for the assessment office addition call for building two floors which would.represent 3,150 square feet each, on the side of the existing building near- est the jail. The project is valued at $150,000 not including the cost of landscaping, architect's fees or derncIlishing the jail wall.
