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.
Bryan D. Hogg, Exeter, was
fined $150 or 15 days in jail after
pleading guilty to possession of a

plastic bag the accused was
carrying.
Peter V. Glover also of Exeter,
was fined $100 or 10 days in jail on
a similar charge to which he
pleaded guilty. The charges
against Hogg and Glover had
been laid by Constable Alex
Ba lazs.
Both men were given one
month to pay the fines.
Also charged with possession of
narcotics was Paul Frederick
Norris, Stratford. He was
charged following an in-
vestigation by OPP at Oakwood
Park on July 7.
Norris pleaded guilty and was
fined $125 or 12 days in jail.
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.
A recorded vote was taken on
the matter showing 39 in favor of
the change and 15 opposed. Those
in favor were R.J. 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.
