HURON E,,XPOSITOR,.NOVEMBER 25, 1976 StanleY reeve says •*aaley reeve Anson McKinley did not allow his name to be entered as candidate for township council this year. At the ratepayers meeting, of last week. Mr. McKinley expressed his appreciation to the people of the township and of the county for the opportunities he has received. Mr. McKinley has -been on Stanley's council for the past 14 years and was Warden of Huron County in 1975. Mr. McKinley did comment on the county council's rejection of a proposal to reduce the number of people in that council. "In my view," said Mr. McKinley, "there is no need to have 45 people sit on County council". Mr. McKinley added Tom Consitt, deputy-reeve of Stanley's council did not agree with him on this and had voted against any reduction at the county level. Mr. Consitt will be the new reeve of Stanley by acclamation, as his was the only nomination received by the clerk before the deadline. Mr. McKinley went on to say part of the problem with the system is it will take acts of legislature to allow the county to make changes he feels would be beneficial. He explained several County committees are presently set up by statutes and have authority to make any decision unless by-law is needed:. Mr. McKinley feels these committees, such as Huronview, the Library Board, and the Road Committee should be set up the way the county feels best, not the province. The county is spending too much money on administration added Mr. McKinley and he feels some changes in the future are inevitable. "The system we have now is good," he said, "but no system is so good it couldn't be better." Mr. McKinley then gave the 30 or so ratepayers present a review of the activities of council over the past two years. The purchase of a farm for the landfill site in 1975 was possible because council was able to use $16,000 from accumulated surplus over the past five years. The remainder of the cost came from current revenue for that year causing the township to have a slight deficit in 1975. "I am not in favor of accumulating-surplus each year," added Mr. McKinley. The township will probably run at a small deficit this year, however, it is difficult to tell until the year is over. Mr. McKinley warned the future council they have only begun to see the increases in the cost of gravel and urged them to keep working on getting blacktop paving done. In the past, requests to blacktop have been turned down by the province. Tom Consitt will be the new reeve for council as he informed those present he would let his name stand. Mr. Consitt spent six ye.ars as a councillor for the township and two years as deputy-reeve. He thanked Mr. McKinley for the support and guidance received from him in the past eight years. Mr. Consitt informed the ratepayers that last year two bridges were built by the township, one on the fourth concession and one on the second concession. Also $28,000 was spent to build up the road going to Jellystone Park near Bayfield. However, the Park has paid $10,000 to the township to help ' with this road. The township spent $15,000 on cacium chloride this year and $33,000 on gravel. Last winter 10,000 was spent on clearing roads and $2,200 was spent clearing up after the sleet storm alone. $4,000 was spent on municpal drains and all the equipment is in good shape. Paul Steckle will be the townships new Depty-Reeve by acclamation. He has been a councillor for the past six years, and during his last term was a member of the Conservation Authority for Stanley. Mr. Steckle reminded the ratepayers present they now have the Bannockburn wildlife area close to Varna and said he was sure more activities will be seen in this area in the future. The Authority will work with private people to try and stop erosion according to Mr. Steckle, and will also subsidize private owners who wish to plant trees. Under the Shoreline Property Assistance Program, Stanley township has $100,000 available, and the loans are over 10 years with an 8 percent interest level. So far, Mr. Steckle says seven people have applied for this and $17,800 has been approved. Councillor Don Brodie explained to the ratepayers the government has put limits on the tile drain loan money' available* the township has, placed a $40g maximum on every 100 acres Of land. He added the township now has a home renewal program to a limit of $31,000 which may be applied for by homeowners and ' which is geared to income. Se far the township has received six applications. Mr. Brodie has been on council for the past four years and will be a member of the new council by acclamation. Don McGregor has been on council for the past two y ears and A very successful sportsman's dinner was held at the Royal Canadian Legion Hall, Seaforth. President Lion James Paratchek was in charge.
