At the regular meeting of
Bayfield council, the mill rate
for 1970 was set at 100.5
residential mills and 106.5
commercial mills.
Reeve Oddleifson gave a press
release. "Reeve Oddliefson
questioned the method of
arriving at the assessment factor
for the year since it has caused
an increase in the school taxes of
around $10,000.00 representing
approximately 13.95 mills, The
increase is also about 25% above
the 1969 school taxes. This
makes the cost $700.00 per
pupil for the year which does
not include any grants.
"The assessment factor of 14
used to equalize the assessment
is the lowest adjustment in the
County of Huron for the
smallest municipality. It would
seem to be a little out of line.
The assessment department is.to
be approached with a view to a
relief from this excessive levy."
The reeve also said that the
1971 telephone charges will
cease to be included on the tax
roll, except in the case of arrears
in telephone charges. Payment
of taxes for this year will be
June 15 and November 16 with
a penalty of one percent per
month in default of payment.
Bayfield council has cancelled
the special rate of 5 mills set up
in 1966 to pay for the public
school (which is now . the

Municipal Building). This year's
Province of Ontario property tax
reduction is $41.77.
Actual changes will mean that
a taxpayer assessed at $2,000.00
will pay $27.90 more for
education this year. However the
county rate is down from 20.27
mills to 20 mills. Bayfield's
special 5 mills to buy the old
public school has been
discontinued; the ,basic shelter
rebate is up from $37.12 to
$41.79. This means the total
amount on - $2,000.00
assessment will be $10.71 more
than 1969.
The clerk told council that
there were thirty-six sales of
property in 1969, i.e. houses,
lots, vacant lots in the village.
In further business, the
committee investigating a
request from the proprietor of
the Albion Hotel for a sidewalk
recommended 'that as it is the
policy of council that such
sidewalks, where installed would
only be four feet wide and four
inches 'in depth, they approve
the request. This sidewalk is to
be four feet wide with sod from
the cement edge to the existing
curb. As is usual, the village will
provide the cement and gravel,
the owner to assume all labour
costs.
'Toilet facilities on the beach
were discussed, repairs to be
made where necessary. More
garbage disposal units will be
installed.

County approves
health budget
BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER
The auditor's report was
discussed at some length
Monday evening at the regular
meeting of the Huron County
Board of Education.
Certain board assets, including
a $3,000 trust fund, were the
main Points of interest. The
board instructed. Roy B. Dunlop,
board business administrator, to
prepare a report oh this
particular item $Q that the board
can make a ruling on it.
Dan Murphy, Goderich,
suggested that in his opinion the
board should not have any
investments. "There is no
purpose in it," Murphy stated.
Another matter for discussion
was certain clergy reserves in the
county, Many years ago, land
was set aside for use, by the
Driver education
report set aside
A brief report on the driver
education courses offered in the
five county high schools was set
aside at Monday evening's
meeting of the Huron County
Board of Education until more
information is made available.
The initial report showed a
wide variance in the costs to
students and the methods of •
operating the course at the
different schools. Dan Murphy,
Goderich, suggested that a much
more detailed study should be
made of the actual costs of the
various systems before the board
approves or disapproves any
motions pertaining to driver
education in the county.
Recommendations in the
report were that students be
charged a uniform fee for the
course; the classroom instruction
be given by a teacher of the
secondary school concerned
with night school rates per hour
to be paid for this; and that
sufficient licensed private
citizens be engaged to give the
in-car instruction so that all
eligible students can be
accommodated.
Roy B. Dunlop, business
administrator, said he could
ascertain the costs of the various
methods of instruction and bring
a report to the board at some
future meeting. Chairman John
Levis said it should be "and
interesting comparison".
' Wingha'm undertaker Gordon'
Moir said that he has seen the
results of bad driving too often
and advocated that the cost of
driver education to the student
be kept as low as possible so
that most everyone could
benefit by it.

clergy .and since At that time,

clergy, income from the land
Was use to .support public
schools,
At one time, all townships
. had vertatn clergy reserves but,
according to John H. Henderson,
the bulk of them were cashed,
He said he felt the few remaining
clergy reserves would be a
matter for the Arbitration Board
to settle.
Director of Edepatien. John
Qoehrane, asked if the interest
from the clergy reserves should
rightfully go. 4! the Huron
County Board of Education or
to the municipality from whence
it came, perhaps in the form of
special 'school supplies etc,
The board seemed to agree
thath all assets of former school
boards were turned over to the
county board, and that the
county board would have the
right to the benefits, if any.
There was suggestion, however,
that not all clergy reserves had
been turned over to the county
board,
It was for this reason that the
board approved a motion to
have the board solicitor, Elmer
Bell QC, Exeter, make a
recommendation concerning
clergy • reserves in Tuckersmith
and McKillop Townships.
Also while dealing with the
auditor's report, it was noted
that cafeterias in the county's
secondary schools earned
$57,000 in 1969 but cost
$67,000.

Huron County Council has
given approval for the Huron
County Board of Health to hire
a summer assistant in the Public
Health Inspection division. In his
report, Chairman . Everett
Mcllwain noted this will not
increase the total county budget
over the allotted sum of
$125,353.
Stephen Township Reeve
James Hayter wondered why the
matter was even brought before
council.
"Under the circumstances,"
stated Mcllwain, referring back
to the March session at which
time the health budget was
drastically cut, "we thought we
should bring it to attention of
council."
The executive committee has
recommended that the names of
Donald H. McKenzie, Ernest
Snell, Harry Gowdy, Walter J.
Forbes, Glenn Webb and Frank
McFadden be submitted to the
Department of Municipal Affairs
as possible appointees to the
Assessment Review Courts.
It was also learned that the
executive committee is planning
a bus tour in June to the
Maitland Valley Conservation'
Authority and the Ausable
Conservation Authority. Three
members from each municipality
in the county will be invited to
take this tour and "to learn
firsthand the function of the
Conservation Pithority."
In other business, council
learned that County of Huron
Agreement Forest has cost
$57,648.60 up until March 31,
1969 with $3,898.27 spent in
the , year 1968.69; voted to
petition MODA to establish
definite policy with regard to
non-paid up memberships in the
organization; agreed to advertise
all county employment
opportunities in all Huron
County weekly newspapers; and
discovered that a Huron
delegation which travelled to
Ottawa seeking a solution to the
closing at CFB Clinton were well
received by officials there.
