Huronview
budget
At its February meeting held
last Thursday, H uron County
Council struck albudget totalling
$2,420,000 for the operation of
Huronview during 1977.
Of that total figure the Province
of Ontario, through the Ministry
of Community and Social
services, pays $1,1595.762
leaving the country's share at
$200,438.
Before making final approval
the Huronview Committee of
Management brought in a
number of revisions to their
j original estimated' budget.
An increase of $7,451 was
made to the area of Medical and
Nursing Services bringing that
section up to a total of $1,098,555. ,
Building and Property budget
was' 'increased by $42,000 to
$271,136 and . General and-
Administration was brought up to
$140,587 with an increase of
. $8,347.
The budget item covering
capital expenses was decreased
• by $19,000 • however. to $20,000.
In other 'business Huronvieiv
administrator C.A.A\ rchibald told
council that snow removal costs at
Huronview are the highest
experienced in many years and
activities involving outside talent
and volunteers hive been
considerably curtailed due to the
inclement weather.
Mr. Archibald also noted that
several cases of influenza during
the early part of this year
required a ban on residents
visiting other areas.
"The outbreak has now
subsided," he noted, "and
residents have the freedom of the
whole building again."
