TOPNOTCH FEEDS HOron amenkfs CAS budget Membeks of Huron County Council supported a recommend4tion from their executive committee last Friday and voted to approve an amended 1976 Children's Aid Budget totalling $483,204 with the County of Huron's share being $87,642. In other financial matters the council also approved the proposed General Government budget for 1977 totalling $84,800. Last year's &operal budget came in at $94,85.0 but what appears to be a considerable cut in expenditure is in fact only an indication of a slight change in bookkeeping policy.
