For the first time ever, Huron residents will be paying for some "people services" on a population basis rather than an assessment basis. Following a decision at Huron County council Friday, the Health Unit, Huronview, Children's Aid, Social Services and Library budgets will be apportioned on a population Drug charges result in fines Three people appeared before Judge Glenn Hays in Exeter court Tuesday, on drug charges.

Only one bid on street job Exeter council members didn't have to deliberate long to determine which contractor should be given the job of reconstructing part of James St. Ken Gerber, Stratford, was the only contractor to submit a bid for the block between Main and Andrew. His price was $11,237.75. The estimate for the work had been $10,000 but that figure was sub- mitted over a year ago. Council decided to undertake the project on James St. this fall after they learned there was still some $12,000 in the roads budget. The project will be subject to provincial subsidies. basis with the population figure to be the same as the per capita grants for the year 1973 and using the 1973 estimated expenditures. The balance of the county budget will be apportioned on an assessment basis. "It is the culmination of a great deal of work and study over two or three years," said tax review committee chairman Charles Thomas. Figures attached to the report showed that under the new system, fourteen municipalities will be paying more in 1974 and 12 municipalities will be paying less. Those paying less include Goderich, Bayfield, Ashfield, Colborne, Goderich Township, Grey, HAY, McKillop, Stanley, Tuckersmith, Usborne and East Wawanosh.

Allin, Allan Seek assistance over agreement After a discussion on proposed subdivision agreements, Mon- day, Exeter council agreed to have consulting engineer B.M. Ross meet with them before taking any definite stepS. Many aspects of the agreements that will be required for the proposed Veri and Darling subdivisions were debated at the special meeting before Mayor Jack Delbridge urged council to seek professional advice. He pointed out he wasn't belittling anyone's intelligence in suggesting "it's over our heads". Council had copies of agreements from Kincardine and Goderich and had discussed some of the requirements contained in them. Most of the discussion centred around storm drains, and while all agreed the laterals should be the responsibility of the sub- divider, there was some question who would pay for the main trunk line, Mayor Delbridge said the PUC would probably urge that un- derground wiring be a requirement in the new agreements as well, although he thought the town should pay for the cost associated with street lighting. The Executive Committee report to Huron County Council last Friday brought a storm of Protest from Reeve Ed Oddleifson, a member of the Planning Board, when it was learned plans were afoot to make the Planning Board and the Land Division Committees separate bodies. According to the Executive Committee report, the Planning Act provides for a Planning Board to be made up of four, six or eight members of county council plus the Warden and to operate separely from the Land Division Committee. The recommendation which was finally approved by council was that for the year 1974, the Huron County Planning Board consist of six members of county council plus the warden. One member from the Social Services Committee will be transferred to the new committee to permit the proper number on the Planning Board. The present Planning Board consists of five members of council, five appointees from outside council and the warden. It has been felt that under that system, the same people made the decisions and heard the ap- peals on those decisions. "When the board doesn't agree, members are not very apt to appeal their own decisions," said Charles Thomas, reeve of Grey. Reeve Oddleifson warned against "an independent arm" such as the Land Division Committee would become with the new legislation. He said he was "surprised" that the Executive Committee would make such a suggestion when it was the "first indication" Reeve Oddleifson, a member of a planning board, had had it was in the works. "It is a little strange to me to learn the planning board isn't operating as smoothly as I thought it was," said Oddleifson. "Is the Executive Committee the committee to decide policy?" asked Oddleifson. "I thought each committee was a committee unto its own. I was under the impression there was no senior committee. Maybe there should be but I'm afraid I haven't seen it in the books." John Berry, county clerk treasurer, referred to the rules and regulations for some con- firmation of the Executive Committee's powers and while he admitted the legislation left some room for argument, it appeared the Executive Committee was the only committee which had any right to recommend on policy matters, "Then let's formalize their authority in the proper manner," said .0ddleifson.- Berry advised council Oddleifson's motion should be Introduced at a later time in the meeting for vote by council. The motion finally introduced by Oddleifson and seconded by Damage high in collisions Damages mounted to $2,400 in three accidents investigated this week by the Pinery Park Ontario Provincial Police detachment. The first accident occurred Thursday morning on highway 21 about four miles south of Grand Bend when a tractor trailer and a car collided. The drivers James Brindley of Colborne township and Joel Vincent, RR 2, Grand Bend were not injured but Constable L.R, Hembruff listed damages at $1,400. Late Friday night a vehicle driven by Joseph Remington of Sarnia was damaged to the ex- tent of $300 when it struck a deer on highway 21, just south of the Pinery Provincial park. Con- stable,K.G. La Bute investigated. Early Saturday afternoon, vehicles driven by Thomas Kadlecik Grand Bend and Eva Sweitzer, Dashwood collided on Grand Bend's Main street. Constable Hembruff in- vestigated and listed damges at $700. No injuries were reported. In other occurrences, four charges were laid under each of the Highway Traffic Act and the Criminal Code while two charges were made under the Game and Fish Act and the Liquor Control Act. supper after a day of continuous exploration. A game we will never forget is one that Tom taught us called "The French and the British." We spent many enjoyable hours of our spare time fighting over a flag. As the sun set Brian Mont- morency explained to us about Astronomy. After, we went on a mystery walk which took us to the cemetery where we told ghost stories. Lights were out by 1;30 after our bedtime snack. Rising at 7:30 Thursday morning our first option after breakfast was "The History of Sylvan village," It was in- teresting to record information from the tombstones in the cemetery. After lunch we started our forestry option of finding diameter and merchantible height of various species of trees. Supper over, Freneh and British was again played. Preparations were made for the corn roast with parents, leaders and teachers. Various skits were performed and corn was very good. After parents left Cecil. Desjardine, deputy-reeve of Stephen Township recommended that the Executive Committee be the senior committee of council with power to recommend "legislative changes, committee changes, bylaw updating, changes in the standing rules,and regulations, administrative changes and other organizational matters leading to the continuing smooth operation of the county". This was referred to the Executive Committee for cone sideration and recommendation. In the meantime, however, the Planning Board and the Land Division Committee were separated when it was shown there would be no duplication of duties in the change. "It won't slow the process up a bit," observed Warden Roy Pattison. Due to the death of the former reeve of Turnberry Township, Ken McMichael, Donald S. Eadie, newly appointed deputy- reeve of Turnberry was named to complete McMichael's term on the development committee and Allan Campbell, reeve of McKillop Township, was named chairman of the Development Committee, a position held by McMichael, for the balance of 1973. A summary of expenditures and revenue to the end of June 30, 1973, shows a surplus of $134,205 with all budgets appearing to be within ,their limits. Watch for bogus bills An urgent warning to the public has been released by the O.P.P. Anti-Rackets Branch regarding counterfeit fifty dollar bank notes. A flood of counterfeit fifty dollar bank notes has hit the province of Ontario in the last week. The notes are of excellent quality and very difficult to detect. As a result, all fifty dollar bills are suspect, Ten persons have been arrested and charged since the weekend at Trenton, Collingwood and Peterborough. Notes have also turned up in London and Hamilton. Normally, counterfeit notes are imprinted with the same serial numbers, her, in this case there is a sequential variance of numbers,which,adds to the dif- ficulty. Anyone accepting a Fifty Dollar bill during the next several weeks should be sure of the person's identity. The simplest method for detection is to hold the bill against a strong light which will reveal an otherwise invisible number of planchets which are implanted in legal bank note paper. By using this method the absence of an increased number of planchets is generally an in- dication that the bill is coun- terfeit. If this should occur, contact your local police office immediately. If the suspect cannot be safely detained, obtain a full description and if possible the direction by which he leaves and the licence number of any vehicle he may enter. County protests Centralia closing Huron county council has agreed to protest the recom- mendation of Professor N.R. Richards, University of Guelph who has proposed that the Centralia College of Agricultural Technology be moved to Guelph, County officials will point out that the college at Centralia serves the residents of the im- mediate area of Huron and the surrounding counties and is therefore much more accessible than a college at Guelph. It will further be suggested that moving the college from Centralia will effect the economics of a com- munity just recovering from the closing down of the former CFB Centralia where the college is located, "The Provincial Government has been making statements to decentralize such as it is now doing in the planning field and has done in other fields," the report stated. "Therefore, this recommendation (of Professor Richards') would appear to be a direct reversal of policy." These recommendations will be circulated to all municipalities in Perth, Middlesex, Lambton, Bruce and Grey. more ghost stories were told. Lights were out about mid- night. At 7;30 a.m. a cheery awakening to all the wagons came from Donna Glanville. Orienteering or following directions using a map began after breakfast and three girls were supposedly lost. After a rather sad last meal and the girls found we loaded the bus and waved goodbye to the leaders with whom we had enjoyed the past 21/2 days.
