A plumbing inspection bylaw
to cover the whole of Huron
County is closer to reality this
week after Huron County
Council last week in Goderich
gave approval to the Board of
Health report which indicated
the intention of that committee
to that end.
Board of Health Chairman
Gerry Ginn, deputy-reeve of
Goderich Township, told coun-
cil the report was for infor-
mation only.
"We are not going to ask for
decision today," Ginn ex-
plained, "We are still open for
suggestions but decision must
be reached by the end of the
year so it can be included in the
budget. Hopefully, this will be
in effect by 1974,"
According to the report, the
cost of a Plumbing Inspection
Division is based on the figures
that were available on the sur-
vey of residential building for
1971 and 1972,
"There are approximately
400 new residential construc-
tions in the County of Huron in
each year," reported Ginn.
When the Plumbing Inspec-
tion bylaw is approved, the cost
for inspection of an average
single family new residential
dwelling will be a basic inspec-
tion fee of $15 to cover "time,
travel and help"; plus a
bathroom (sink, toilet and tub)
$6; laundry facility with laun-
dry tubs, $2; kitchen with a kit-
chen sink, $2; powder room or
vanity near the living area of
the house containing sink and
toilet, $4, Total approximate
cost is $29.
"Using this figure of $29 then
as the figure for a new residen-
tial construction, there would
be an anticipated income of ap-
proximately $12,000 in new
single family residential con-
structions within the County of
Huron,'' said Ginn.
It is expected that another
$6,000 annually would, be
realized from plumbing
alterations for which a flat fee
of $15 each is proposed.
"New commercial construc-
tion which is apartment
buildings, motels, etc., and
which seem to be appearing
ever more frequently within
Huron County," noted Ginn, "
estimate income from plumbing
inspection fees, $6,000."
Total estimated minimum in-
come, according to Ginn, is
$24,000 annually,
Total projected expenditures
for the plumbing inspection
division is $37,307 including
salaries for two public health
inspectors at $9,000 each; one
secretary-bookkeeper at $6,200;
car allowance for two love?.
tors, $6,000; office rental,
$1,800; office equipment,
$3,492.50 (once only); and of-
fice supplies, $1,814.50.
Ginn advised it was the in-
tention, of the Board of Health
to engage inspection personnel
who could double as regular
public health inspectors and
not just plumbing inspection.
"In considering the projected
income and the projected ex-
penditures of the Plumbing In-
spection Department," repor-
ted Ginn, "the minimal expec-
ted income from the division
would be $24,000; the projected
expenditure would be $37,307.
The county then would be sub-
sidizing the Plumbing Inspec-
tion Division by approximately
$13,000 which would amount to
the user supporting 66 2/3 per-
cent of the cost of the Plumbing
Inspection Division and the
county supporting 33 1/3 per-
cent of the cost of the division."
"Examination of plumbing
inspection receipts in the
earlier years of plumbing in-
spection reflect the difference
in standard of living today as
in 1960 where one finds that the
commonest thing that hap-
pened in plumbing inspection
was the installation of a
bathroom and averaged a fee of
$4.50," said Ginn. "The
receipts do not indicate the
amount of time involved, the
number of calls involved or the
mileage involved, and certainly
if these'figures were used in the
projection of 1973 against 1973
costs, the county would be in
the position of the user paying
approximately 10 percent and
the county paying 90 percent of
the Plumbing Inspection
Division."
When council had perused
the suggested bylaw, it was
deemed the first clause was
"too all inclusive", That clause
reads: No person shall con-
struct, repair, renew or alter
the plumbing, drainage or
water system of any building or
structure without first having
obtained a, permit therefor
from the Plumbing Inspector.
Reeve Ed Oddleifson of
Bayfield suggested a clause
stating that plumbing costing
$200 or more would need in-
spection, leaving smaller jobs
to the homeowner's discretion.
This suggestion, however, was
not immediately approved by
the Board of Health members
although Ginn indicated this
was the kind of participation
the Board had hoped to get
from council.
"The intent is there, the fee
basis is very fair," said Reeve
Deb Shewfelt of Goderich. "It
is very cheap for the inspection
they'll get. I believe council
should support, in principle,
this report."

As a result of warble in-

cattle fall into three categories:
carcass weight reduced due to
necessary trimming,
devaluation of the carcass due
to trimming, and devaluation

Plumbing by-law near reality
The presence of a large num-
ber of warble grubs in cattle
causes a dollar-loss that is
greater than most producers
realize, reports R. E. McCar-
ney, a livestock specialist with
the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food. Updated
calculations, based on a survy
by the Meat Packers' Council,
show that losses in Ontario
range from $12 to $25 per head,
depending on the number of
grubs present.
The northern warble fly buz-
zes around cattle, continually
darting into and under them to
lay its eggs. This frightens cat-
tle and causes them to run
wildly or "gad". Gadding can
result in physical injury, weight
loss, decreased milk produc-
tion, and may reduce beef gains
by 50 to 75 pounds per head. In
addition to these on-farm
