'Mot study will consider AREA

about a population of 150,000 being
the ideal size fora region. When
the main industry is agriculture,
population should not be a major
consideration.."
"This is going to come,"
stated Weeve Gerry Ginn. "If
you want it t o come to Huron
we'd better get after it. If you
want to be part of a large area,
well . . it is how you want it.
I'd like to see it done in Huron."
Clerk-treasurer for the
county, John Berry said that the
members of the board of health
for the county had "some reser-
vations" about it.
"But if we want to have any
voice at all, now's our chance,"
he added.
Chairman of the board of
health, Reeve Derry Boyle,
Exeter, said the scheme would
not jeopardize any jobs or any
boards in the county.
"The government is concer-
ned about health costs in the pro-
vince," he said. "I know you're
concerned about health costs. It
is not going to cost the county any
money and will help prevent an
overlapping of health services."
The board of health also re-
ported that William Empey has
resigned as chief health inspec-
tor for Huron. The replace-
ment is J, K. McCaull effective
December 4 at a salary of $10,300
per annum.
It is also confirmed that the
nurses' office in the main office
in the Court House, Goderich,
will be improved and updated with
nursing stations installed and
some new furnishings.
Huron County Council made
yet another move last Thursday
in an effort to keep the county
a leader among rural communi-
ties in the province and to stave
off regional government by
accepting more responsibility at
the locil level.
Decision was made to make
application to the provincial
government to form a District
Council of Health. According to
Dr. Frank Mills, Huron County
Medical Officer of Health, a Dis-
trict Council of Health is
composed of representatives of
all medical and related fields in
the county plus an equal number
of lay people to plan, co-ordin-
ate and assess local health ser-
vices with an eye to recommen-
dations for ways of preventing
overlap.
Dr. Mills said a meeting had
already been held among medical
people in the county who stressed
the need for such an organization
in Huron.
It is hoped that if the provin-
cial government approves Hur-
on's application, Huron would be a
district on its own, part of a
larger area. Dr. Mills saw it
as a way to maintain "local
autonomy" and give Huron a
"political say" in health services
here.
"I fear if we don't do it, we'll
have it done for es and we won't
have much say," said Dr.Mills.
"Dr. (Richard) Potter) (Minister
of Health for Ontario) has said
this is coming. I believe the
government is looking for people
who will take the first positive
steps."
All costs for the project are to
be borne by the provincial
government. Five other District
Councils have already been
formed in the province in Thunder
Bay, Ottawa, Hamilton-went-
woeth, Kingston and ,Sudbury.
It was also suggested by Dr.
Mills that if the project was ap-
proved, offices would be located
centrally, perhaps Clinton.
Councillor Anson McKinley
of Stanley Township wondered if
there was apy assurance that
Huron would remain a district.
He was told by Dr. Mills there
was "an excellent chance".
Hayfield Reeve Ed. Oddliefson
was enthusiastic about the pro-
posal.
"It is another step toward
maintaining the autonomy of this
county," he said. "It might help
the government change its mind
Huron County is to be the
pilot area for a study to review
Urban Development in Rural
Areaa it was learned Thursday
at county. council.
Ed. Oddliefson, chairman of
the. Planning Board, claimed the
study would "prove of great, bene-
fit to Huron County and would
assist in implementing the
Official Plan".
"Also, of course, the, study
would be related to all other
areas in the province," repor-
ted Reeve Oddleifson," and this
is the reason the provincial auth-
orities are very interested in
the subject. The financing in all
probability would be a shared
cost, the province paying the
larger portion."
Presented in the session was
the proposal for the study to be
• completed by the James F. Mac-
Laren firm with. S.H.Janes in
charge.
Janes said that in looking
over the Official Plan, it be-
came evident there were not
any policies for rural areas in
particular.
"This type of study should
have been done before the Offic-
ial plan," said Gerry Ginn of
Goderich Township.
Janes said that at the present
time, rural planning is a "big
catchall". He said that scat-
tered development in rural
areas may raise assessment
in total, but it may also raise
costs higher in the future. He
suggested that farm assessment
might have to go up to keep
pace with increased demands
of urban-like development in the
rural areas.
",Protection of the environ-
ment is not cheap," said Janes.
"Anytime you're dealing with an
urban area, you can run into
problems of clean streams, clean
air. You have to pay for them."
Some discussion centred ar-
ound development of lakefront
property in Huron and the ques-
tion was asked whether this land
should be treated ah eagricul-
tural or recreational". It was
pointed out the land was worth
"three times as much for re-
creational purposes".
Reeve Bill. Elston, Morris
Township, deplored the present
system which prevents the sev-
erance of lots from farms in
certain instances. He said he
recognized that the Land Division
Committee was only following
rules laid down for it, but said
that in his township, city dwel-
lers, for instance,looking a sum-
mer home with estate-like qua-
lities were buying whole farms.
Since they were enable to sever
the buildings from the land, the
farmland was growing up in
weeds, fences were allowed to
deteriorate and relatedproblenis
' were developing.
"It is a detriment to the
peighbors," claimed Elston.
"It is causing some real head-
aches."
Reeve Charles Thomas of
Grey Township said he was in
agreement with Reeve Elston.
He said that GreY Tiewnehip,too,
Was experiencing similar trou-
bles, perhaps to .:a lesser degree
than in Morris.
