Hesk, Reeve Leiper Reports on County Work st. Hullett Township followed the trend in this area of giving their council for 1961 an ac- clamation, There will be one aelir counoillor: Donald Buch- anan, 'replaces veteran member Etnmerson Hesk. Besides this .:hinge the only ether nominee was councillor Hugh Flynn for cove, who opened his remarks later in the meeting by saying "We better send Reeve Tom Leiper back to County Coun- cil." Only 40 persons, including township officials, attended the nomination meeting in Londes- boro Hall last Friday after- noon, The nominees with mover and seconder, are as follows: For Reeve: Thomas Leiper, by Nelson Lear and Norman Alexander; Hugh Flynn, by Robert Burns and Sohn S. Mil- ler, For Council: Hugh Flynn, by Harve Wells and John Adams; Clare Vincent, by Lloyd Pipe and William Manning; James McEwing by Herbert Beacom and Watson Reid; Donald Buc- hanan by William Jewitt and Ross McGregor; Emmet son Hesk, by Harvey Hunking and Bob Townsend. Ratepayers were presented with a neatly printed financial statement the first to be pre- pared 'in this way recently, and clerk Harry Tebbutt went over it item by item, explaining where necessary. It was for a ten month. period 'in 1960, and a complete total for the year before that. Total tax revenue in 1959 was' $117,999.79. The balance at the end of 1959 of $1,879.30 was a sign of very close and good f inane- Mg, said Mr- Tebbutt. Extra costs this, year Tor maintenance of the 13lyth fire department included cost of additional ox- ygen tanks, The previous sup- ply had been found to he in- adequate at a January 2 fire in Londesboro, Relief payments had totalled only $241 which was fortunate, Roads and bridge expenses were explained by road super- intendent Len Caldwell, includ- ing winter control of snow and ice of $7,237.82 and the build- ing of the Quigley Bridge cost- ing $33,369.84. 80 percent of ths is recoverable from the province through grants. Actu- ally the bridge will cost nearly $50,000 when completed. Former reeve and warden of Huron County in 1959, William Jewitt acted as chairman for the meeting. He commented that present cost of winter con- trol about equals the entire road and. bridges account of 15 years ago, when he first entered municipal work. Reeve Tom Leiper reported on the county council work, where he said most is done 'in committees. The good roads committee spent $200,000 on development roads, all of it recoverable from the province; as well as other expenses on roads, specifically for the coun- ty totalling $265,000. There was $31,000 spent on trucks; $70,000 and $63,000 on bridges. Of the entire budget of $1,- 087,000 and 80 percent recover- able from the province, the county's share was $420,000. There are 390 miles of county road. The average cost per mile in Ontario is $3,000, compared to $2,000 in Huron County. Mr. Leiper felt that engineer J. W. Britnell was doing the best job possible with monies available. He said' no one wants roads handed back to 'the 'town- ships, despite some action to do this with the system. He suggested that the hills on the Londesboro to Base Line road should be cut down. The county's grant of $44,- 000 'to the Health Unit was matched by a similar one from the Ontario government. For the county home, grants from the county are $18,000 and fr- om the province, $23,000. Mr. Leiper commented on the proposed new "free" lib- rary system, which would re- quire a grant of $1,2,500 from the county and $51,000 not the province. He was not too sure 'it would go over, since it was not received too well at county council. Hugh Flynn, who was named for reeve as well as councillor stated "we better send Tom Leiper back to county council." He urged the ratepayer's to send in complaints and sugges- tions to township council, ra- ther than talking up rumours. Emmerson Hesk noted that bridge building was expensive. He said, "Schools keep incr- easing our taxes. It seems that some frills could be done with- out." Mr. Hesk noted' that Hullett roads are in. good shape, compare favourably with other townships. He said he was retiring, and that "Don Buchanan is a good straight- forward lad, and if he stands, I will retire this year." Chairman Jewitt noted that Mr. Hesk had been a "darn good councillor." Clare Vincent said he had enjoyed his first year in. coun- cil, and that his work with dr- ains had been an education in itself. As far as "education costs goes, it seemed that toe much money is spent on extras and some courses, The expen- ses seem to be getting out of hand." Jim McEwing noted that re- pairs had been needed already on the Nott Drain which was built only last year. The Van- Baaren drain will be put in next year, All farm drainage loans had been approved, and farmers were making good use of this opportunity, AU the councillors regretted losing veteran councillor Hesk. Donald Buchanan 'thanked his nominators, and said' he had requested nomination, but def- initely would not cause an el- ection. Oliver' Anderson, representa- tive on the Seaforth District High School Board, said, "We kick about school costs, but there are over 140,000 babies coming into the world each day. Concerning expensive schools, the inspectors have a lot to say, and they are car- rying out the ideas and policies of 'the provincial government, which pays 80 percent grants for 'construction. Mr. Anderson said there were over 400 Students at Seaford', and 17 teachers. They estimat- ed a surplus of $10,000 this year. Costs included $26,905 for buses for the first ten months, with an estimate of $7,000 for the next two 'months. J. Willis VanEgmond, rep- resentative on the Clinton Di,s- beet Collegiate Institute Board also reported for the first ten months of the year. At Clinton there are 570 pupils and 27 teachers. Cost of buses was over $28,820 for the ten mon- ths. "We now have an adequate schgol", said Mr. VanEgmond. "According to the Hon. J. P. Roberts, secondary school pup- ils will double in 15 years, Th- ere were 80,000 more students started into secondary 'schools this September than started in September of 1959." Mr. VanEgmond explained the need for an additional $40,- 000 to complete Clinton's ad- dition, Some of that was taken up in $8,000 lost on the de- benture issue, and another $4,- 000 for stronger foundation than was anticipated. Ross McGregor, Kiniburn, sp- oke briefly. Torn Leiper spoke for Wil- liam Craig, the representative on the Goderich District Cal- legiate Institute Board, noting similar problems 'there as in the other two schools. He than- ked council for co-operation in the past, and his sorrow 'at the loss of Mr. Hesk. George Cowan moved a hear- ty vote of thanks to the school board represetatives for their work, and' their reports. HENSALL (MRS.
