"By adding to the actual known costs in January and February of $302,961.62 our best estimate of the costs of March of $50,000 we get a total of $352,961,62 to March Huron County council gave its nod to $161,125 in renovations to the exterior of the Huron Historic Jail in Goderich when they met last Thursday. The approval was little more than a formal go-ahead as the County will not be paying for any of the work to be undertaken but had been asked for their ap- proval because they are still the oNners of the structure. Property Committee Chair- man John Jewitt told the meeting that representatives of the Historic Jail Board met with the Committee to discuss the study and report prepared by Nick Hill, entitled "A Plan for Restoration". That report was completed for the Jail Board at a cost of $2,000 to enable a comprehensive and concerted approach to the Province and other charities for funds to complete the restora- tion. Only the exterior renovation phase has been given the go- ahead. Interior restorations valued at $99,765, and a theatre complex valued at $388,500 were "away in the future if ever," ac- cording to Hayfield Reeve Ed Oddleifson who is also the Jail Board secretary. Property Committee Chair- man Jewitt said the other restorations were "pie in the sky." Greene to chair resolutions group Murray A. Greene, chairman of, the Exeter Public Utilities Commission has been appointed chairman of the resolutions committee of the Ontario Municipal Electric Association (O.M.E.A.). The announcement was made today by H. D. Hamilton, president of the 0.M.E.A. Mr. Greene will work with fellow commissioners from across the Province of Ontario for the next year, studying and preparing recommendations on all resolutions submitted for consideration at the Annual meeting of the Association. The Ontario Municipal Electric Association is the spokesman for more than 340 municipal utilities throughout Ontario, the com- missioners and councillors of which were elected to operate a specialized municipal service and thus represent more than two million residential, commercial and industrial customers served by the municipal distribution system, and who consurnei two- thirds of the electric power in Ontario.

Interment in Smithville Cemetery. 31 and qualify for additional subsidy under the formula an- nounced by the Ministry in the amount of $51,467.79," he ex- plained. Mr. Britnell did note however that he felt "a fairer way to have. distributed the extra money would have been to base the extra subsidy on the average cost of the four month period over the past Oddleifson the councillors that just because the Board was not asking the County for funds now, did not mean they might not make such a request at some future time. In other Property Committee business a one page advertise- ment was approved for the Travel Guide now being assembl- ed by the Southwestern Ontario Travel Association at a cost of $950. The County wilionly be paying one third of that however, the remainder is to be paid by the Historic Jail Board and the Town of Goderich. Council also approved a recommendation from Property Committee that $1,000 be spent on work at the Health Unit of- fices. A partition is to be moved and lighting, electrical outlets and carpeting installed to make a present seating area into ad- ditional office space. Hold decision on two mains Exeter PUC decided to hold in abeyance a final decision on proposed installation of water mains in the north end of Exeter when they met for their regular monthly session on Tuesday. Manager Hugh Davis presented a budget calling for an eight-inch main along Highway 83 from Exeter Produce west to the town boundary and also for one on Carling Street between Alexander and Highway 83. Total cost of thbse two projects was estimated at $29,048.10. Davis explained that revenue from the new lines would be small, estimating it at around $1,800 per annum. He said the main reason was to provide in- creased fire protection in the area to be served. While the commission ten- tatively approved the projects, a final decision will not be made until tenders have been opened for the installation of the Usborne wells and the pipeline. If that project comes in higher than the estimates, the money designated for the northend projects would have to be used to offset the increases, Mayor Bruce Shaw wondered if the projects could be stalled for a year so the money could be used to reduce the 35 percent water increase announced at the last meeting. Davis said the money would reduce the increase by "only a pittance" and said a further hike would then be required in 1978.

Under the system laid down by the Ministry, a municipality must have exceeded 120 percent of the highest expenditure over January 1 to April 1 (the period in question) in the past four years. Mr. Britnell also told the councillors however that to qualify for this extra money "we GRADUATES Constable Kevin Short was among those who graduated from the A and B course at the Aylmer Police College on Friday.

Under board policy set down by the education act any per- sonnel who have their positions declared redundant automatical- ly take the next position available which in this case is a principalship. The move was a combination of good luck and good timing ac- cording to Cochrane who said he couldn't foresee any openings at the principal level for another eight to ten years if present staff stay with the board. He said he took the proposal for the shuffle to the board and told trustees they must act now or live with present staff for at least that long. The removal of one superintendent's job will mean a change of geographical boun- daries for the remaining three superintendents to pick up the schools now under Smith's jurisdiction. He is responsible for the Seaforth-Clinton area and has five elementary schools and two secondary schools in that area. The board will have to break that area up amongst the remaining superintendents and will have to return some ad- ministrative duties now handled by Phillips back to Cochrane. The move returns both men to Refuse Seaforth guard assistance The Huron-Perth Roman Catholic separate school board has decided not to help Seaforth pay the cost of hiring a crossing guard for St. James Separate School. The board had not requested a guard for the Goderich Street East crossing, trustee Michael Connolly of Kippen said, adding the matter does not come under the school board's jurisdiction. Huron County board of education earlier rejected the town's request for aid in paying the cost of a crossing guard for Seaforth Public School on Goderich Street West. It is expected the town will pay for the guards, although no starting date for the guards has been set yet. Trustee Vincent Young of Goderich, chairman of the personnel committee, told the board Monday negotiations with the 155 teachers employed in 19 board schools "are going very well and should be completed within a short period of time," He would not speculate on how much longer it will be. The board set November 20 as the date for the third annual Focus on Faith day, provided Most Rev. G. Emmett Carter, bishop of London diocese, can attend. This year, trustees, ad- ministrators, principals and their spouses and one couple representing parents at each of the 19 schools will spend a day "in reflection" on parental in- volvement in children's religious training, had to spend more than 20 per- cent more than we did in 1976 and if this cost trend continues through the rest of 1977, as it did in 1976, our total expenditures for snow plowing could reach $600,000 or 140,000 over our budget estimate of $460,000. In other business arising from the Road Committee report Council agreed that a new land purchase policy, in connection with road widenings, be im- plemented. Property owners will now receive $500 per acre plus a new fence or a cash allowance of $12.00 per rod (the approximate cost of the fence.) The former Road Committee policy for compensation per acre was set many years ago at $200 T-A photo areas they once worked in. Smith was a supervisory principal when Goderich had three elementary schools and moved to Robertson as principal when the supervisory job was eliminated with the closing of Victor Lauriston School. He has been a superintendent for five years. Phillips was vice principal of CHHS for four years before mov- ing to principal of F.E. Madill in Wingham when Frank Madill became superintendent of educa- tion, Phillips came to the board office two years ago as assistant to Cochrane. The director said he had no way of predicting what the move would do to the wages of the two men. He said Smith now earns about $39,000 and Phillips about $3 3,00 O. Smith would be guaranteed his present wage for another year before being ad- justed to an elementary school principal's wage, now about $29,- 000. Phillips now makes the same as a secondary school prin- cipal. He said Smith would receive whatever a superinten- dent received as a result of this year's negotiations and in September of 1978 would be paid an elementary school principal's wage. "The real saving isn't going to be in wages," said Cochrane. "It's the $60,000 the board saves by not having to appoint two new principals." Page 3 per acre plus a new fence or a cash allowance if the owner did not require a fence. That fence allowance was increased from $2.50 per rod to $5.00 per rod last year. Mr. Britnell told the meeting however that each year it became more difficult to pur- chase land under these terms and after a recent meeting with some land owners effected by a road widening project on County Road One the recommended increases in rates was drawn up. Police radar soon on job During the past two weeks, the Exeter police department has received a number of complaints regarding the theft of gasoline from business premises where trucks are parked over night, The police request they be notified if any suspicious vehicles are seen loitering around the business area in the early hours of the morning. The police department also issues a notice that radar speed zones will be set up within the town limits at anytime of the day or night and on any street. A news release from chief Ted Day continues, "Due to the severe winter and many ac- cidents, a large number of cars are driving about the highways and streets with damaged fen- ders and headlights. Our officers have been notified to check these vehicles and issue defect tickets for repairs." Hydro billing up considerably The Exeter PUC increased their hydro revenues by $126,198 in 1976, but still ended up with a loss of $8,581.55. The expenditure increase in 1976 was $148,256 over the previous year. The total power bill from Ontario Hydro in 1976 was $450,065. Line maintenance costs were up $24,614, due primarily to the March ice storm and the tornado which whipped through Exeter last summer. Some of those costs are still showing up this year as the PUC continues to undertake replacement of lines shredded by the storms and also to replace some poles and undertake more tree trimming to remove dead branches.
