Taylor Honoured By County Council (By R. S. ATKEY) , Goderich Brother and Sister Graduate (By R. S. ATKEY) • COPERlCH—aierk-Trea^ur- er J, G- Rwy, in his report .to Huron County Council Monday morning, predicted increased . posits and higher tax rate. 'Contributing to increased costs, as far as the county is concerned, are such matters as expenses pf coroner’s, in quests, county public libraries, county assessment commission er system, and. regional jails, “I would like to point out that 1967 is going to be another ygar in which our financing will possibly necessitate an increase in the counity 'rate,” Mr.. Berry .stated. “It is too early to pre dict exactly what might happen but you should bear in mind the following problems with which we will be faced: (1) an initial payment on •debenture issue for the County Home ($53,000 to $55,000); ‘ (2) simprfeuseidL cost of operat- ixig now uclditnoii. to County Home; (3) possibility of rontinuecl bundling programs as far as pur local hospitals are concerned.’' Continuing, the clerk-treasur- er pointe'd out that if there are no building plans for- 1967, then the ccunty would be able to divert s'pme of this money for hospital reserve purposes, to the County Home debenture., assisting greatly in financing for the upcoming year, Mr. Berry stated that .a fur ther problem for future financ ing concerns the situation at Centralia Air School. The county receives a considerable grant at the presept time, off set to swe extent by costs of road, maintenance, administra tion of justice, and welfare.. Last year the grant was $11,562,- In this regard, he favoured immediate actipn to have it designated as a “depressed area” for industrial purposes'.
