Huron registers complaint
over pollution in Maitland
redesigning the lagoon to take
more waste but there is no way
they can redesign the Maitland to
take the affluent."
Thomas concluded that while
Huron County is spending large
amounts of money to plan its
progress sensibly, and safely,
municipalities outside the area
have "a drastic effect on our
planning."
It was agreed that Perth
County Council should be made
aware of Huron's strong ob-
jections to the misuse of the
Maitland.

REVENUE FUND BALANCE SHEET
AUDITOR'S REPORT
To The Supporters Of
The Huron County Board Of Education
I have examined the Revenue Fund and Capital (Building) Fund Balance Sheets of the Huron County
Board of Education as at December 31, 1970 and the Statements of Revenue Fund Revenue and
Expenditure and Source and Application of Capital Funds for the year then ended, My examination
included a general review of the accounting procedures and such tests of accounting records and other
supporting evidence as I considered necessary in the circumstances,
In my opinion these Financial Statements present fairly the financial position of the Board as at
December 31, 1970 and the results of its operations and the source and application of its capital funds for
the year then ended, in accordance with accounting principals generally accepted for Ontario School Boards
applied on a basis consisten' with that of the preceding year except for the apportionment of head office
expenses, which were pro-rated on a daily enrolment basis in 1970, compared to an apportionment to
direct cost basis in 1969.

County backs `equalization'
411111111111111111ftlimaimiliiimisoniniumaiiiiimmier
Huron County Council will put
forth a "very strong complaint"
to the proper Ontario government
departments following a report in
council, Friday by Reeve Bill
Elston, Morris, and Reeve
Charles Thomas, Grey, con-
cerning the pollution in the
gaitland River caused by waste
products which have been
dumped by the Campbell's Soup
Company Ltd., at Listowel.
Elston and Thomas told council
of the river's deplorable state and
questioned the county's acting
medical officer of health, Dr.
Frank Mills concerning the
degree of pollution.
Dr. Mills said that samplings of
water have been taken from the
stream and that while the bac-
teria count is high, there is no
evidence to support the theory
that the water is a health hazard,
"The water in Lake Huron in
some spots has a higher bacteria
count than the water in some
areas of the Maitland River, "
said Dr. Mills.
The Ontario Water Resources
Commission gave its approval for
a lagoon at the Campbell's plant
to be dumped into the river this
past spring. Dr. Mills felt the
OWRC was depending on heavy
spring rains to flush out the river
but unfortunately, these rains
just did not materialize.
Samplings taken of the water
by the OWRC have been shown
safe, it was reported,
"Even if it is safe, it isn't nice
to drink or even to look at,"
protested Thomas. "The stream
capacity of the Maitland is small
in the summer. They are
telopt.€
All crops have made excellent
progress in the, last weeks under
spotty dry conditions as showers
were scattered across the county.
Wheat is well headed but is
shorter than average due to the
dry spring. Early grains are
heading out and look good while
later crops are growing rapidly
but remain thin due to dry soil
conditions after seeding.
Corn crops have made
excellent growth during the
warm nights and spraying
operations are about complete,
Cultivation of corn continues.
Bean crops have good stands
and size and first cultivations are
just beginning. Occasional
a trazine damage is reported, this
likely due to dry conditions after
seeding, which tends to cause
greater damage than when
moisture is abundant.
Haying is about completed in
the south with alfalfa weevil
causing some damage.
Clapp transfers
to Dundas area
Tom Clapp presently Associate
Agricultural Representative for
Huron County will transfer to a
similar position in Dundas county
effective Augiist 1,
Tom has been responsible for
the co-ordination and develop-
ment of county dairy
management programs and the
feed advisory service. He
enrolled over 20 dairy farmers on
the Canfarm computerized
monthly mail-in record-keeping
system this year. From this
group he organized an active
dairy farm management club.
Appointed to Huron in
December 1968, Tom worked
closely with 4-H , Agricultural
Club leaders and members as
well as the county Jr. Farmer
Association,
Tom will be associated with
Doug Keys, Agricultural
Representative Dundas County,
formerly of Seaforth at the
Ontario Department of
Agriculture and Food office in
Winchester,
"I believe the Federation of
Agriculture would like to see the
education tax taken off property
And put onto income tax," stated
Alex McGregor, chairman of the
Huron County Development
Committee Friday at the June
Session of county eouncil. "That's
what they mean by equalization
of education taxes."
McGregor was speaking to a
recommendation of his com-
mittee to comply with the Huron
F of A's request for support in
their bid to equalize education
taxation. Some members of
council had questioned the
methods by which the Federation
had hoped to achieve
equalization,
Committee chairman
McGregor said it was his un-
derstanding that if education was
supported by income taxes, it
would mean about a 31/2 percent
surcharge on income tax in the
province of Ontario.
Everett Mcllwain, Goderich
Township, challenged that
estimate and said it was his
understanding the additional cost
to income tax could run as high as
25 percent, This view was sup-
ported by other members of
council.
Reeve Derry Boyle, Exeter,
warned council that once the
Ontario government would take
over the .fail payments for
education, the pgople in the
municipalities would have
nothing
own
ing re to; aSayaas,bout education in
t he i r
However, council did approve
the Federation's request for
support in the matter of
education tax equalization,
