Home My WebLink AboutThe Brussels Post, 1973-04-04, Page 8The March session of Huron County Council was a somewhat low-key meeting despite the fact that several increased budgets in the county's various depart- ments were presented for ap- proval. Although the 1973 budget has not yet been finalized, there was good news for county ratepayers in the Executive Committee re- port. It was stated there is every indication there will be no in- crease in county rates this year. As well, the report promised that in the event the county en- ters upon a building program at •:,is Local the Huron-perth - Regional Assessment- office, there will also be sufficient funds for this purpose without any increase to county ratepayers. when the budget is brought in next month it will show that $ 25,000 'has ,been set aside , in the Hospital Reserve Fund; an employee benefit reserve; as well as another $ 50,000 for the work- ing capital fund. Several proposed budgets were approved in Thursday's session. All are up..

Home nurse, housekeeper,- friend, aHomemaker likes people and enjoys helping. A mature woman skilled in homemaking, who may have already raised her own family, she helps maintain and even strengthens family life duting a short emergency period. The birth of a new baby can create a family' crisis when mother is unable to look after the children for a week or so after her re- turn from hospital. The elderly or handicapped person may require supervision and care due to the temporary absence of the person who normally has this responsibility. Homemakers give families or people in need the convenience of a reasonable and responsible person to provide the same loving care that they would. As an intricate part of the Home. Care Plan operated by the Ontario Ministry of Health, the Homemaker Service is also avai- lable to provide proper care for hospital patients convalescing at home. Working as part of a team including visiting nurse or physiotherapist, the Homemaker can assist a patient's recovery 'by enabling him to recuperate in a familiar home environment. This has the added benefit of freeing badly needed hospital beds. To assist convalescing pa- tie.nt, the Red Cross also operates P1OW SW Like' YOU _ •-ptsztAo' uki L RADIO WI7N THE Liatro- 171AL ? • Eilrr trg I-LARP poFz Me it READ., The Netn0PAMIR V1i114 THAT LiritE Sunday visitors.

Mr. and Mrs. Jack Clark, who had been guests of Dr. and Mrs. McCutcheon for several weeks returned home to Brussels with them.

Ray and Helen Adams went to Tara Friday night where they were guests at the Herson-White wedding, the County of Huron portion $103,087. Last year's budget was estimated at $291,906 and last year's County of Huron share was estimated at $91,847 (91,678 actual). The Planning Board budget is up $25,214 to $72,150. Consul- tant fees for the study of Urban Development in Rural Areas ( UDIRA) is one of the major • reasons accounting for an esti- mated additional $8,000.. The budget for the Huron County Library is up over $15,000 to $193,850. The Huron County Pioneer Museum budget is also up by about $4,000 to $39,000. The road budget is also higher this year at $1,987,000, but will be financed with the same amount of county funds, $738,000. Extra allotments from the provincial government was cited as the explanation. This year, the province is paying 62.9 percent of the total road budget while the county is picking up only 37.1 percent. The budget of the Land Di- vision Committee remains about the same as last year, made up of $27,200 from fees and $6,000 of county money. In this case, revenue will depend upon the number of applications from^ Ontario Hydro regarding trans- mission lines which will be run- ning from the Bruce Nuclear Station through the northern part of Huron. According to the budget, 680 applications at $40. each will total $27,200. The museum budget showed that $11,200 is expected this year in admissions and sales. The County of Huron is expec- ted to add the remaining $27,800 to' the budget. Deputy-clerk Bill Hanly, act- ing in the place of Clerk John Berry at Thursday's meeting, said the committee had been "very pessimistic on the ad- mission side". Museum curator Ray Scotch- mer said admission rates had been adjusted upward and should result in increased revenue for the museum. ,He also' reminded council that he would like to see a souvenir stand in the museum and noted that any sales pro- motions the museum had attemp- ted in the past had realized additional profit. It should be noted that in- cluded in the museum budget is $1,000 for maintenance at Dunlop Tomb where steps need to be replaced and some masonary work must be com- pleted.
