G. Ginn Huron's
new warden
Goderich Township Reeve,
Gerry Ginn succeeded Douglas A.
McNeil as warden of Huron
County following the election of
warden in the council chambers
in Goderich, Thursday.
Ginn, 50, was selected as the
111th warden of the County,
defeating John Tinney Reeve of
Hay Township on; the second
ballot. Robert Lyons, West
Wawanosh reeve, was
eliminated on the first ballot.
He told fellow councillors that
his election was the fulfillment of
a dream adding that most county
councillors look towards someday
occupying the warden's chair.
Ginn is the third generation in
his family to act as reeve of
Goderich township but the only
one • ever elected warden,
although his father tried once.
The last Goderich Township
reeve elected warden was Walter
J. Forbes in 1963.
In his opening remarks warden
Ginn said he would like to
institute the use of agendas for
county meetings so councillors
will know who and what will be
appearing at each session. He
claimed the use of an agenda will
give councillors the opportunity to
formulate relevant questions.
Despite a suggestion from
Goderich Mayor Deb Shewfelt
that the county would have to
review the government structure,
Warden Ginn said that restruc-
turing would not be considered
during his tenure as warden.
After offering his congratula-
tions to the new warden, Huron-
Middlesex Liberal MPP, Jack
Riddell, reprimanded council for
their tardiness in voicing
objections to Bill 98, an ,act to
revise the Municipal Elections
Act of 1972, and change the
election date to early November.
Riddell said he was sure that
material concerning Bill 98 was
circulated ' to county council
members from his office.
"I heard of your objections
after the fact but-if I had known
your feelings earlier I could have
made a lot of noise about it," he
said. "If I don't hear from you it
means you are relatively happy
but it.is, awkward to stand up in
the legislature and comment if
you don't know the people are
behind you."
Riddell explained that he has
not had much time to sit in on
county council sessions because
of his 'overbearing' workload but
added it should not hav6 an
effect on constituents making
known their views.
"I want to hear your views and
I will represent them in the
Legislature," he said. "I have to
rely on you people to give me your
views and it can be done by letter
or whatever manner you choose."
Murray Gaunt, Liberal MPP for
Huron-Bruce, said council will
face two major decisions in this
session, property tax reform and
implementaion of the trespass
law which is expected to be
introduced in the Legislature Feb.
21.
Gaunt said the property tax
reform is a prominent piece of
legislation that is politically
sensitive. He said the trespass
law, when passed, will mean that
written permission will be
required before hunting, fishing
or anything can be done on
private property.
More than 100 people jammed
the council chambers and corridor
for the election.
