The cost would be about $35,000, of which 50 percent would be financed by the Ontario government with the county picking up the remaining 50 percent of the costs. The Executive Committee, chaired by Blyth Reeve Robbie J. Lawrie, is still studying the proposal. Reaction. Friday of county councillors present was cool. One councillor suggested that if the provincial ministry wanted the study done, perhaps the provincial government should finance it.
