The initial steps toward
county-wide plumbing and build-
ing inspection were approved by
Huron County Council at last
Thursday's session in the court
house at Goderich.
It is expected the cost of the
plumbing and building division of
the Board of Health will be fully
supported on a user pays basis
and with a sliding fee scale of
$15 for the first $1,000 of con-
structive value; $7.50 per $1,000
for the next $24,000 of construct-
ion; $5 per $1,000 for values of
$25,000 to $50,000; '$2.50 per
$1,000 for $50,000 to 000,000;
and $2 per $1,000 for values in
excess of $100,000.
Medical Officer of Health Dr.
Frank Mills told council that a
plumbing inspection bylaw would
be drawn'up by the county board
of health and a presentation con-
cerning its content would be made
to every municipal council in the
county.
Although the municipalities
are autonomous as far as plumb-
ing inspection is concerned, Dr.
Mills said it would -be hoped that
a majority of the municipalities,
if not all, would adopt the sug-
gested plumbing bylaw for their
own.
Chairman of the committee,
Gerry Ginn of Goderich Town-
ship, said the board hopes that
uniformity across the county
where plumbing inspection is
concerned, will be achieved.

program is initiated, persons whu

charged with the responsibility
to be certain the building lot is
suitable for the use intended;
that the proper plans have been

and that the plans
are carried out in the building as

• He said a typical problem now
shows up when the property is
resold, after the septic system
is covered, after the plumbing
and wiring has been hidden be-
hind paneling and plaster. He
said a call from a lady with a
contaminated well in a home
just recently purchased, re-
vealled the septic system
too close to the well although
the new owners had been given
assurances the well was in
another spot on the property.
He said in too many cases,
the problems arise "after the
fact" and he noted that while
he was as reluctant as anyone
to get into the business of plumb-
ing and building inspections on a
county basis, it was important
for the protection of county citi-
zens,
"We're living in a clip joint
world," observed Reeve Bill
Elston of Morris Township.•
Dr. Mills described the
problem as "so complex it is
probably why it has not been
done before"..
Reeve Deb. Shewfelt of
Goderich said that in his opin-
ion, it was an important initial
step to take in Huron.
It was estimated the program
from July 1 to the end of 1973
could run as high as $20,000
for one qualified administrator,
secretary and two combined
building and plumbing inspectors.
Reeve Everett McIlwain said
he felt the estimate was low and
should be multiplied by two or
two and a half.

THE BRUSSELS POST, APRIL ~i, 19y3- 11
, When I was a boy I eagerly
looked forward to a Saturday
afternoon at the local theatre and
the latest thrilling episode of the
current serial. I remember in
these serials all hereos were tall
and silent with curly hair and
broad shoulders. All heroines
were blonde, shy creatures, with
snapping eyelashes and fully de-
pendent on the hero. A must was
an old professor who had invented
some kind of device or formula,
that if ever in the hands of the
villan would probably mean the
end of the world. The villain
also fit the established, pattern.
He had to be dark and have a
small black mustache. He al-
ways hated the hero with a pas-
sion and showed it by his sneers
and gestures. His life's work
was to get the professor's device
and formula and then turn it over
to a foreign power.
tion plan is to protect the public
from "poor contractors and that
sort of thing".
"we know from past exper-
iences there are houses that are
not very old and they're having
real problems," he said. "The '
matter has been under discussion
for about a year now."
Mrs. Helen Jermyn of Exeter
said the citizens of that com-
munity are "grateful" for the
building inspector and she felt
a plumbing inspection would be
welcome , too. Reeve Derry
Boyle, .also of Exeter, said that
the main concern centres around
new contractors coming in from
outside the area. He told of one
house in Exeter that contained
57 infractions of Exeter's
building bylaw and sold for
$28,000.
Dr. Mills said that when the
