Prompt action resulted in the saving of a chicken barn ontinued from Page 1 said the main objective of the ()FA was to see the education tax removed from property, not to begin a tax strike but that if the government refused to take action then the strike would go on. The meeting went back and forth between Mr. Hale and Mr. Hill on one hand and Mr. MacNaughton on the other with questions from the floor interspersed, most aimed at Mr. MaeNaughton. Robert McKinley, M.P. for Huron, and Murray Gaunt, Liberal M.P.P. for Huron-Bruce, stayed mostly on the sidelines. Mr, Gaunt did throw support behind the idea of taking education off the property taxes in his opening remarks but shied away from being embroiled in the argument. Mr. McKinley said that he had always felt that education should be a federal responsibility. This, he said, would eliminate the financial problems and assure uniform education across the country. Mr. Hale admitted that the process would have to be a staged affair, that it couldn't happen overnight. Mr. MacNaughton said he was glad to hear this since the government was already on a staged basis moving from 45 per cent in the past to 50 per cent and now aiming for 60 per cent. He said to take over all education costs would cost the government another $800 million, twice the amount they now get in tax concessions from Ottawa. He said he did not want to make the tax system punitive to taxpayers. Mr. Hill said the system was already punitive on farmers since but about 2500 chickens on the bottom neer of the barn were lost. The boys of the Clinton Junior Conservation Club were very busy collecting bottles on Saturday and report a satisfactory day. * * Mr. and Mrs. Art Allen Of tirlionton were weekend visitors with Mayor and Mrs. Don Symons. For Mrs. Allen, the former Joyce Kearns, who lived in Clinton in previous years, it was the first visit back in 24 years. * * We know there are many Clinton • area young men and. Women going off to various college, hospitals etc. for further training. How about letting us know where you are going? We axe all interested. For starters, Corrie Rucld is going to North Bay this weekend to register in the Communication Arts Program at Cambrian College. each farmer, if he hoped to make his farm pay, had to own a large acreage of land. Others who made more money than farmers, drily had to pay taxes on a place to live. The tax should be based on the ability to pay, he said. He said he was fed up with being a nice guy. Robin Thompson, clerk-treasurer of Goderich Township, asked where all this talk of tax-withholding was going to leave the municipalities who would have to pay the school boards anyway. Mr. Hill said that the municipality could borrow money at the prime rate of about eight per cent to pay the school taxes and meanwhile collect 12 -per cent from the delinquent taxpayers so they could actually make money on the situation. Mr. Thompson pointed out that once a borrowing budget was set by the municipality, it could not borrow more money without consent of the Ontario Municipal Board. He asked Mr. Hill if he had ever tried to get such consent from the board. He also observed that he had understood the meeting ;,had invited not only farmers but urban people, It seemed to him that nearly everyone present was a farmer so the urban people must be happy with the situation as it now stood. Mr. Hale told him that people •in small towns might be satisfied but people in the big cities were as tired as the farmers of paying huge tax bills for education. At this point MacNaughton asked to be excused since he had to be in Toronto early the next morning and the gathering gradually disintegrated. BY WILMA OKE , The concern of Harpurhey ratepayers over the proposed building of •a piggery on a farm of less than 20 acres in Harpurhey by a resident and the disposal of the manure resulted in a delegation attending the Tuckersmith Council meeting in Brucefield Tuesday. Among the ratepayers attending were Dr. Paul Brady, Art Nicholson, , Andrew E. Crozier, James M. Hopper, Neil Hopper and the farmer, John Janmaat. Mr. Nicholson expressed concern over the Seaforth lagoon to be built near his home and now the possibility of a piggery lagoon. He said, "Harpurhey has a lot of good buildings. The lagoons should not he allowed." To the statement that lagoons should not be closer than one mile to the homes in Harpurhey Reeve Elgin Thomps&R feplied: "We are putting in a by-law to cover the whole township, not just Harpurhey." Dr. Brady said he had been in touch with the medical officer of health for Huron,. Dr. G, P. A. Evans who said the Huron County Planning Committee might come up With a by-law to cover the proposed swine lagoon. Dr. Brady said he was planning to attend a County Planning Committee meeting. Dr. Brady said: "There are 46 residences in •Harpurhey and 160 people. A lagoon should not he built within a mile of a built-up area. Prevailing winds and topography should be considered. I am glad to hear you have a by-law to cover this." Dr. Brady said he had a letter covering the situation as he had not been sure if he could attend. He asked if he might read the letter. Reeve Thompson suggested he "leave it with the clerk." Mr. Crozier said the farm owner now had over 200 pigs and was planning to build a barn for more. Let us help you get a new home NOW!

O13mi2ANY sthrce leap- Clerk James McIntosh said the farmer would require a license to build, • Dr. Brady replied: "Dr. Evans is interested in this problem and is quite concerned. Before issuing a license Dr. Evans would be quite willing to advise you." The delegation was assured that regardless of the size of acreage a license was necessary. and that the farmer would not build an open lagoon hut had assured council he was building a cement liquid manure tank under the sanction of the Department of Agriculture and the Ontario Water Resources Commission. Dr. Brady and Mr. Crozier said they felt a closed cement tank would be acceptable. Neil Hopper believed he would not object to a closed manure tank but was concerned about the Seaforth Town lagoon to be built in the area and of an oven Iagoon.at the,barn,,. ' - :`?Cc eiSStire'd aid cfalegationit Would fie tbudh with the Department of Agriculture which has a suggested code for new livestock units. John Janmaat explained to council he planned to put up a new barn and a cement manure tank which would be below the ground. Reeve Thompson spoke of the opposition of Mr. Janmaat's neighbours in Harpurhey. Mr. Janmaat said he was working through the Agricultural Office in Clinton and the Water Resources people. Deputy Reeve McGregor said "If you get their approval (Agricultural Office and Water Resources Commission) I can't see any reason why we can't give you a permit. You may leave yourself open fora law stilt." Councillor Ross Forrest asked Mr. Janmaat if he was planning a cement top to the tank and was told it would be covered. Councillor Cleave Coombs said that regulations say the barn must be 2000 feet from land presently zoned for residential use but Clerk McIntosh replied that there was no zoned property. Councillor Forrest asked how fast county zoning Was coming and , if Harpurhey would be classified as urban. Deputy Reeve McGregor said it was slow but there were to he two meetings in September and he would know something by the end of the month. Mr. Janinaat said that if he got a permit to put up the new building he wanted to be covered, by Council but Reeve Thompson said: "We can't guarantee there will be no civil suit." Mr. Janmaat assured the council that the barn and tank would he built as a combined effort with approval of Agricultural Office. and the Water Resources Department. He said he did not want any trouble after he had the building up. Reeve Thompson said, "You should get a permit from the Water Resources Commission and the Agricultural Office and we'll come to a decision on the license," Council later agreed there seemed,to':heibmisunderstanding its to, what was!meantiby:lagoorr.
