"Home cif Economy Seaforth THEE BRUSSELS PAST, SEPTEMBER 10 1975 Melville to hear missionary Huron covncii rejects restructuring proposal The reaction of county council members to about five months wor k by the Huron County restructuring committee was unquestionably negative, according to Warden Anson McKinley who held a press conference Tuesday afternoon concerning last Thursdays special restructuring committee meeting attended by most council members. "It was a blanket no to both proposals," stated Warden McKinley. "Councillors just didn't see enough benefits to the people." The restructuring committee had two suggestions for possible ways the county could be revamped: the first proposal called for eight area municipalities to comprise the county with all towns except Goderich, being included with the area municipalities; in the second proposal 12 area municipalities were suggested with the five major t owns remaining as separate area municipalities. the first proposal would have reduced local representation from 150 to 56 with county representation dropping from 45- to 16. The second proposal was less drastic with local representation cut from 150 to 70 and county representation from 45 to 21. Warden McKinley said council could see no real value in reducing the number of representatives.He.said it was the feeling that fewer councillors would be doing more work, but not much money would be saved because they would only pay themselves more for the extra duties. "History proves this is exactly what happens," the Warden said, The Warden, pointed out that the study showed once more that Huron County is already a progressive county .. with kn exceptionally fine system of government. He said many of the things other counties are gaining because of restructuring have been a way of life in Huron for years. Warden McKinley cited the number of county services - library, health, welfare, roads, planning, etc. - which have evolved naturally in Huron because of its unique county system. "Other counties are restruc- turing to get what we already have," the warden explained. Co-operation, .the warden noted, is the key . He said councillors were fully aware that even if some municipalities were amalgamated, cooperation would be necessary. The warden felt county represe tntatives were willing to co-operate to a greater extent for .other specific county-wide services, such as fire protection, police, recreation, garbage disposal, etc. The restructuring committee was instructed now to study the various, services that could come under county jurisdiction along with probable costs and methods, said the warden: The warden felt there could be- public meetings in the future to Total enrolment in schools under, the jurisdiction of the Huron County Board of Education on the first day of school.

Cochrane released the figures compiled from information • received front - principals at noon hour. The number of students at the, county's five secondary schools is up from ,a year ago but elementary students are on the decrease. The high school figure at noon Tuesday was 4,607 up 62 from 1974.

On the decrease side of the ledger, Clinton public School was determine the feelings of the citizens toward future county' services. "For the moment the, restruc- turing issue is dead," the warden said. He estimated it could be as much as two years before the committee's work is finished. He did not know when that report would be made to county council. The next , meeting is October 3 but it is highly unlikely that any report from the restruc- turing committee v 11 be available by then. • down to 565 from 603 and Victoria in goderich was down 35 to 416.
