Kleinfeldt and Associates (London) Ltd., recently presented to County Council an outline of the preliminary findings in their quest to suggest an official plan for Huron. The speakers made it plain to council that they were "starting with basically a clean slate in Huron County" — and they indicated this was an advantage in most respects since there were no previous planning concepts to consider or correct. . They reported that the official plan would likely be presented early in the new year .. . and told council that its presentation to the people of Huron would be an all-important step. Several hints were given as to the direction the plan would take. For instance, one speaker noted that Huron should be able to control its lakeshore property; another that there may have to be some consideration given soon to controlling the run-off in the rivers to permit a more even flow. Preliminary indications are that the county should employ its own central planning administration with the various municipalities working through that office to maintain continuity throughout the county. Local planning boards at the municipal level were discouraged until it was known what direction the county would take where land use planning is concerned. Sewage disposal is one of the biggest problems. Charts contained in the report showed • • S BROWNIES moving McCurdy that only the five towns in Huron are equipped with sewage treatment systems and of these five, only the system in the town of Wingham has sufficient capacity to permit population growth — and then only 1,000 persons, The report also showed that of the five villages in Huron, only Bayfield would have an "unrestricted potential" for future development based on water supply and sewage systems. The report pointed out that septic tank systems are already presenting some problems in Huron County, There was a suggestion in the report that in areas where there is no central sewage disposal system, lot sizes would have to be considerably increased to permit proper septic tank installations. Stanley Reeve Elmer Hayter remarked that larger lots are a waste and a bother to some landowners. "There must be some other way," said Hay ter. Ed. Oddliefson, reeve of the village of Bayfield, said that subdivision-type plans were the answer with a piped water supply and some kind of package sewage treatment plant. His views were upheld by the Kleinfeldt representatives. There was some discussion inaugurated by Reeve Harold Lobb, Clinton, concerning the part farm operations play in polluting the rivers and streams. He said he didn't really want to criticize the farmers but he said it should be recognized that farm pollution is a very real problem, "While pollution is urban-orientated," said the Kleinfeldt spokesman, "farms do contribute. They play a significant role," Medical officer of health, Dr. G.P.A. Evans warned that pollution was a "crisis in Ontario" and said that a "significant contribution" was made to pollution in the rural areas. Reeve James Hayter, Stephen Township, asked if the official plan (estimated at a cost of about $55,000) would detail land use in the townships. He was told the plan will encompass the entire county and show where growth should be encouraged. Anson McKinley, deputy-reeve of Stanley and also chairman of the Huron County Planning board outlined Huron's fortunate location. He reported on the water problems encountered by many large cities such as London and Kitchener. "Instead of piping water to growth," stated McKinley," maybe we should take growth to the lake." Wilmer Hardy, reeve of Colborne Township, told council there could be no growth in the area until there is an improvement in the highway system into this area. "Our road system is inadequate," insisted Hardy. "We have 100 miles of lakeshore and we need good highways to get here. Tourism brings dollars into this area." The reeve of Grey, Charlie Thomas concurred. He said that every place that has ever been developed had transportation first, but he claimed the matter should not come under county planning but rather regional development. One Kleinfeldt spokesman said it was unlikely Huron County would see "major growth," particularly in the lifetime of this plan which is 15 years until about 1985. "We are satisfied that the road network is sufficient," he said. "We see no major change in the highway system." County engineer Jim Britnell urged council to be patient until the presentation of the Lake Huron-Georgian Bay road study is released by the Ontario Department of Highways. Britnell said that when presented, this study will show future road needs in this part of Ontario. "Right now health and education are taking priority,' stated Britnell. "Maybe that's justified. We've had champagne tastes for a long time where roads are concerned. The growth factors in this county are very low — 1.1 in many of our townships. We're not in any trouble as far as our roads are concerned, and we probably won't be for another ten years." John Flannery, Seaforth, recalled Premier John Robart's suggestion that Ontario plan for plenty of "green belts." "If we're going to have green belts," quipped Flannery; "we'll have to have plenty of green backs." Flannery told council that planning is being done backwards. He said there are some municipalities who have spent large sums of money devising land use plans only to find they are not acceptable. He suggested that planning jurisdiction should be clearly defined into provincial, county and municipal brackets with each level of government knowing exactly which planning area for which it has authority. Reeve Oddliefson, concluded that local people should look after local matters until the county land division committee becomes more knowledgeable about the entire county plan. Quiet Please Last summer, it must have been mid July, one of my old friends dropped around to take -me for a ride in his brand new triple super deluxe V-8. Now when I say old friend, I mean just that. Old like me, some teeth missing and bald on top. Won't see sixty-five again, good solid senior citizen. We immediately beaded out to the highway so the big Detroit job could do its stuff, and then off to a not too well maintained sideroad to check out the ride where the going was tough. My friend was all smiles. "Best car I've ever had. Note how quiet she runs. Can't hardly hear it, can you?" I conceded readily its engine was all but inaudible. "Yep, quietest car I ever owned." He pulled it off to the shoulder. "Listen now, you can hardly hear it idle. I almost have to look at the ammetre to see if it has stalled. Marvelous eh? It's got all the new antipollution things on it too." Then we wound up again and headed for the potholes. The big car took them effortlessly with rockingchair ease. "Look at that now! Can't beat that ride can you? Just solid comfort I call it. The wife is just crazy about it." Again I had to concede he was not overstating in his pride in the new car. Now hear this! Last Friday this same good friend pulled up in our driveway with a loud roar to take me off in his newest acquisition . . a snowmobile. A high powered one at that. Maybe there is something wrong with me, but I failed to enjoy the noise. I'm one of those fellows that also detest gas operated power mowers for the same reason, and this was much much worse due to the extra horses. I did not enjoy the smell, Nor did I enjoy having my old bag of bones jounced over snowdrifts and hummocks. When we got back to home base, I Ventured to question my friend on his selection after he had lavished so much praise on his new car because of its quiet, its comfortable ride and its antismog devices. Ile grinned a bit and I thought the smile was a bit lopsided. BETHEL REFORMED CHURCH Huron Street East Rev.
