Ontorio to rent county's
new assessment building
BY SHtRi-gYJ, KEi,LER
Huron County will not only
surrender its property assessing
to the Proyinee of Ontario in
January, but will turn over its
whole new administrative
building in Goderich as Well,
County council leart,d'officially
last Friday.
Members of the council's
executive cornmittee said that
the Dept. of Municipal Affairs
wants to rent the entire building
and will reimburse the county
for furniture and equipment
purchased this year for the
building.
The adminstrative building,
opened only last December, was
erected to house the county's
own new assessing department
which now occupies the first
floor of the two-storey
structure. The top floor was
'offered to the county board of
education for its offices, but the
school board decided to use
space in Central Huron
Secondary School in Clinton.
Members of the property
committee said they "regret that
no one (in Huron County) was
advised of the proposed change
in assessment policy prior to the
actual construction of this new
building. this information might
have changed the plans and the
thinking of the property
committee at that time."
The building program
continues at the administrative
building. Parking facilities are
being extended and the architect
is securing prices for
partitioning.
In other business at county
council's Friday session, it was
announced that Raymond
Scotchmer is the new curator of
the Huron County Pioneer
Museum at a $5,200 annual
salary.
The county renewed its
membership fee in the amount
of $5,000 with Midwestern
Ontario Development Area
Council, and approved the
following grants:
Belgrave, Blyth and Brussels
Music Festival, $25; Belgrave,

$2,500 to CNIB; $400 to the

The consulting firm of G. V.
Kleinfeldt and Associates Ltd.
has been engaged to prepare an
official plan for the County of
Huron Planning Area.
Wingham Reeve Jack
Alexander concurred with
Colborne Reeve Wilmer Hardy
that the fox bounty should be
increased to $5 from $2. Both
Alexander and Hardy said the
increased incentive would
encourage hunters to go out
looking for foxes and destroy
them before they multiplied or
became rabid,
Borden Cook, Blyth,
suggested municipalities get
together with their farmers who
forbid hunting on their
property.
Neighboring counties will
likely be petitioned to increase
the fox bounty too.
Rushing the season
with early blossom
to preview spring
Bring spring into your home
now, suggest horticulturists with
the Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food. You can
have a preview of spring by
cutting branches from flowering
trees or shrubs and forcing them
to blossom indoors.
The easiest to force are
Forsythia, flowering crabs and
cherries, pussy willow, and
Japanese quince. For best results
select branches that are well
supplied with flower buds.
Flower buds are usually larger
than vegetative buds.
Always cut the branches with
pruners or a sharp knife so that
thetree injury heals quickly.
Bring branches indoors and
crush the cut ends. This enables
the stems to take up more water.
Gently rinse the stems in
lukewarm water.
—Forsythia ' is the" easiest to
force. It can be placed in water
and put in a warm room
immediately. It should bloom in
about ten days. Varieties that
are more difficult to force
should be placed in lukewarm
water in a cool room for a few
days. When the buds have
expanded, bring them into a
warmer room to blossom.
When you arrange these
bare branches, remember the
importance of "line" in flower
arrangement.
No matter how we fear the
future we want to see a lot more
of it.

enlisting in the RCAF in 1956. She has since served at several
bases in Canada and Europe, including Holberg, B.C. where she
was stationed before her posting to Clinton in July 1966. She
now holds the post of matron at the base hospital here. --Canadian

New Benmiller bridge
in Huron road budget
BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
The reeves of Goderich,
Wingham and Exeter last week
stalled action that would have
led to county takeover of certain
streets in the two towns.
The takeover was proposed in
a "desirable road system" report
which county council referred
back to its road committee for
additional study after Jack
Alexander, Wingham reeve, and
Clarance Boyle, Exeter reeve,
asked for time to discuss the
report with their town councils.
If the report was accepted,
Wellington Street in Exeter and
Albert Street in Wingham would
have become county roads.
Goderich reeve Harry Worsen
registered his displeasure at
noting that parts of Elgin,
Wellington' and Harbour Streets
were designated as county roach
in the report.
The Exeter and Wingham
streets are main arteries leading
to industrial sites and the county
believes it must take them over
to comply with the provincial
highway minister's criteria for
desirable county roads in urban
areas.
County Engineer James
Britnell. told_ minty gouncil at;
its Friday afternoon meeting
that the Huron road budget this
year will remain within a levy of
10 mills. Mr. Britnell presented a
report submitted by Elmer
Hayter, Stanley Township reeve,
chairman of the road committee.
The total road budget is more
than $2.1 million, with the
county's share just over
$700,000. Road maintenance
and construction each total
about $600,000, with $370,000
including a new $275,000 span
budgeted for bridge building --
one at Benmiller on County
Road 27 and a Middlesex
boundary bridge for which the
Huron share will be $25,000.
Mr, Britnell said the Ontario
Dept. of Highways has warned
that "tight money" may prevent
100 per cent financing of
supplementary bylaws. If so, he
said, it may be necessary to
delete some planned projects.
Because final word from the
DHO may not come until late
this month or early May, the
engineer said, the county is not
now calling for tenders. "We
feel," he said, "it would be
foolish to award contracts for
work that may not be approved
by the DHO,"
The county engineer also said
that plans for "hot /nix" paving
may not pass DHO scrutiny
because the province now feels
that some roads in Ontario are
"over -built." Plans for new
roads, he said, are for "just
adequate and not luxurious"
design.

Ontario Minister of Agriculture
and Food, has announced that a

Food Council-, whose full
resources will be utilized to
