Change grant to contribution Due to changes in the Day Nurseries Act, area municipalities are being asked to change the contribution they make for students attending the nursery school south of Grand Bend operated by the South Huron and District Association for the Mentally Retarded. However, they're not being asked to change the amount, just the terminology. In the past, the ministry of community and social services have paid 80 percent of the cost per student and the municipality where the student lives has contributed 20 percent. That latter amount was termed a grant, but now it is to be known as a contribution. Association members Alma Godbolt and Jack Underwood appeared before Exeter council this week to explain the change and Underwood said it was being made because the Association was caught up in some govern- ment bureaucracy. He said the ministry was now only paying 80 percent of the cost after the municipal grant was deducted from the total cost, whereas they previously paid 80 percent of the total cost. On a cost of $1,000 he said the prevdous ministry grant was $800 and now it was only $640. Mayor Bruce Shaw said the change was possibly made in the act to prevent citizens from paying twice on their taxes, once at the provincial level and once at the municipal level, However, Underwood said they had been advised to take the approach of securing donations rather than grants. "We still may get caught," he suggested in reference to the fact the ministry. grant may still only be 80 percent of the cost after the municipal donation has been deducted. Members of council agreed to pay the donation as a lump sum in an effort to assist the Association. The municipality pays $15 per month per student, although there appeared to be some doubt about that figure. Some members thought it was $30 per month and Underwood said the amount would have to be straightened out.
