March session in Goderich last Friday. Clause one provides that Wills of Agreements signed prior to the passing of the County Official Plan should take precedence. Wills of Agreement dated after that passing should not be con- sidered in arriving at a decision, it was decided, In future the applicable section of the Official Plan or Secondary Plan is to be stated in the ap- proval or denial of any severance. Decisions will be made under the Secondary Plan of the Municipality after the Plan has had first reading. In notifying an applicant of the date of hearing of a severance, a form must now accompany the notice informing the applicant of the agencies or persons objecting to the severance, to enable the applicant to prepare an ap- propriate defelnce and save time in dealing with the severance. A copy of the objecting agency's report is also to be forwarded _to the applicant. Where there is a conflict bet- ween the Planning Department's report on a severance and the possible decision of the Land Division Committee, it was agreed the policy be continued whereby the severance is to be referred to the Planning Board for comment prior to a decision being made and a member of the Land Division Committee is to attend the Planning Board meetings to explain differences of opinion and the reason for the referral. In addition, the Planning Staff is to advise, if requested, in connection with a proposed severance, whether in the opinion of the staff, the proposed ap- plication for severance would be in conformity with the Official Plan or Secondary Plan. The applicant may then choose whether or not he or she wishes to proceed with the application since the Land Division Com- mittee actually makes the decision. In other matters relating to severances a resolution from the County of Kent, presented to council through the Executive Committee report, calling on the Province to amend legislation whereby the fee charged for applications made for land severance be increased from the present maximum for $50 per application to a maximum of $100 was supported. Executive committee chair- man William Morley told the meeting that at present the average cost of a severance proceeding was about $115. "We just feel that people who apply for severances should be the ones to bear the lion's share of the cost," he explained. In other Planning Board business, council denied a request from Salford Valley Hall Incorporated to use a lot they recently purchased across the road from the Hall for parking. gliSTER_ There is a good deal of interest being expressed by the residents of at least one township in Huron County concerning the future development of that township. Stanley township has been holding planning meetings on ' Tuesday nights and the turnouts and discussions have been very encouraging. Last Tuesday, March 21, was the second in the six meetings scheduled in the township con- cerning the development of their secondary plan and over 80 people were present. The purpose of the meetings is to get some public input into the formation of the townships secondary plan with specific. areas being discussed at each meeting. The last meeting, dealt with agriculture's place in the township. Among other things the discussion dealt with severance policies concerning the severing of excess farm houses, of retiring farmers' homes, lots and areas for farmers children. Concern was expressed by some present that the severance of surplus farm houses would lead to an increase in housing not planned for. For instance, there could be farmers building houses, declaring them surplus and having them severed and selling Acting on a recommendation of their Development Committee, Huron County Council authorized a letter be forwarded to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, Drainage Section, suggesting that any money not required by municipalities in Huron County be allocated to other municipalities in Huron which could use the funds. The recommendation was the result of a meeting between the committee and Don Pullen, Agriculture Representative for Huron, at which Mr. Pullen presented a report which set out the methods used by the Province in allocating funds and amounts allocated to municipalities in Huron and the surrounding counties. McKillop township Reeve Allan Campbell asked just how the funds could be redistributed when each township did not k now until November at least how much money they had used. Morris township Reeve Bill them and then turning around and repeating the process unless the township is very stringent with the number and kind of severances allowed. Also discussed at the meeting were the amounts of urban development which should be allowed in the township, par- ticularly along the lake front and the use the Bayfield river valley should be put to. The meetings are taking the form of public forums and no Elston explained that it would in fact be funds from the previous year which would be redistributed to cover the cost of projects in other areas. Council also approved a budget of $6,850 for the County Exhibit at the 1978 International Plowing Match. Another council endorsement went to a recommendation for the continuation of the ARDA program, on the same basis as in the past, and that the Ministers responsible for a new agreement, and Federal and Provincial Members of Parliament be ad- vised. ' That'endorsement arose from a letter from the Rural Develop- ment Officer, ARDA Branch of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food, advising that the ARDA program in Ontario, which began in 1963, was coming to the end of its present Federal-Provincial agreement. Both Ottawa and Queen's Park share in the financing . specific commitments are being made by the planning committee at the county or township level. What they are trying to do is discover, through public input, just what the majority of the ratepayers want the future of Stanley township to be. So far the meetings have been a great success and are being held every Tuesday night at 8 p.m. in the Varna Township hall from now until April 12. going out and seeing things." Forrest says Clark didn't tell much about his religious con- viction, "but probably he told or implied most of what there is to tell," Clark said he was a practicing Catholic, and "I feel comfortable at church. It might have more to do with a sense of continuity than with anything more inspirational." On specific issues, Clark said he opposes abortion on demand.

Provision is made that the County may, if it feels the by-law passed under the first regulations is not just and equitable, amend it to make apportionment more equitable. As a result, such ' an am- mendment was passed at the same time. In general apportionment the rates range from $27,644 for the village of Blyth to $395,002 for the Town of Goderich. Clinton will pay $122,892, Exeter $170,308, Seaforth $73,845 and Wifigham $141,163. In the townships the• general apportionment ranges from West Wawanosh with $46,335 to Stephen with $218,403. Under the amendment those high and low rates change to $51,445 in West Wawanosh and $209,725 in Stephen. In other Exective Committee business, County Councillors supported a recommendation from the committee that a grant of $500 be paid to both the Huron There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root.
