Ontario 235 1331 chairman Bill Amos and adopted by the Authority show a total of $310,850, Capital projects will cest $147,900 and expenditures on maintenance are expected to total $162,950, The Authority which was formed in 1946 and the first in the province has spent more than three and a half million dollars on capital projects since its in- ception according to past chairman /3111 Amos, Amos told the annual meeting Monday afternoon that the total ibudget for the Authority in 1964 was only $77,000. In 1972 the total budget was $226,100. Amos continued, "It's easy to see that the operation and management of a conservation authority is really big business and it is likely to become bigger in the years to come", Amos who is being succeeded by Elgin Thompson as chairman said the greatest emphasis on the services of conservation authorities will probably remain in the provision of recreational open space. He added, "This is a resource which is disappearing more rapidly than the farm woodlot. In our area most of the lakefront property is already in private ownership and our valleylands are going the same way". He said the authorities must continue to change with the times to provide more facilities and services for an increasingly younger and more fluent population, By MRS. IRVIN RADER DASHWOOD The Citizenship and World Affairs committee was in charge of the February meeting of Dashwood WI with Mrs. Mervyn Tiernan convener.

Fees are to be sent for a member to attend the Officers' Conference at Waterloo University in May. The ladies are "Conservation education is an important part of our work and our programs with school students is really necessary"", the former chairman added. "I would like to involve more high school students. They may have ideas we are overlooking," Amos lauded the work of earlier Authority members especially in wildlife and recreation programs saying, "all the work was done at the local level by local people who had a vision. We are reaping the benefits today". The Authority now owns over 0,000 acres of land and operates six parks and conservation area. Resources manager Roger Martin emphasized the im- portance of the advisory boards this year. He said, "We have to lake a good hard look at buying land. It's up to us to continue to prove Authorities are capable of handling projects. if we don't it'll be taken over by the Ministry. We have to be on our toes to do the job". In his final comment retiring chairman Amos said, "in the future the authorities must put out a long range budget and plans of at least five years in advance". The authority's budget this year represents a $43,750 in- crease over last year, due primarily to continuation of its capital spending programs, up this year to $147,900 from the $122,584 spent last year, This year's budget was reduced slightly after reviews from the $335,950 proposed in December. catering to the Firemen's annual supper February 14.

While the provincial ministry of natural resources has increased its grant allowances to the authorities, there is an in- dication that a further upward revision will be made shortly, Fred Jackson, finance and legal supervisor of the ministry's conservation authorities branch, told the 32-member authority Monday that it could expect word of newly-revised grant allowances within a week. He said the action sterns from recent representations made to the ministry by chairmen of the province's authorities.

Elgin Thompson, vice- chairman of the Authority for tile past four years and Reeve of Tuckersmith township succeeds retiring chairman Bill Amos who held the post for four years.

At the December full Authority meeting a motion was passed restricting the term of office of chairman to a maximum of two years, On this subject at Mon- day's meeting Fred Jackson, finance and legal supervisor for the Ontario Ministry of Con- servation Authorities branch said this type of term may be too restrictive due to continuity of programs. In the vote for the chairman's position Thompson defeated Lorne Hay of Hensall in a two- man election. Hay is also a 15 year veteran on the Authority. Also nominated but declining to centest the chairmanship were Joseph Dietrich of Stephen township and Allan Campbell of IVIcKillop township.
