County council briefs

Tax bite
Higher costs for the Huron
County road building program
caused by the provincial budget tax
increases may not be as bad as
expected, Dennis Merrall, county
road engineer told county council
June 2.
There are indications, he said,
that contracts awarded prior to the
April 21 budget date will be
exempted from higher sales tax.
The increases would have meant a
deficit of $338,000 in the road
budget. This had been offset by
savings in lower than expected
tenders for construction of
$176.000 leaving a net short fall of
may not be so hard on budget
$162,000. If the tax increase is
deferred the county could be
eligible for savings of $92,000. To
make up the difference the county
may defer tendering for a front end
loader at a estimated cost of
$200,000 and/or a sand dome for
the Auburn yard at a cost of
$60,000.
*****
The county’s request for a
$200,000 supplementary subsidy
from the Ministry of Transport for
construction of a road to the new
Ball's Bridge has been turned
down but the county will build the
roadway anyway. As Mr. Merrall
pointed outdryly, it wouldn’t make
much sense to build the bridge
without the road.
The county agreed to allow the
Huron Municipal Police Commun
ications System to use the county
radio tower at Auburn for an
antenna for the system’s radios.*****
The Consultation Committee on
County Government Reform will
hold a meeting at the Council
Chambers on Wednesday (today)
from9a.m. toSp.m. They will hear
from the general public from 11
a.m. to 12:30 p.m. In the early
morning they will meet with the
county’s committee that was form
ed originally to make presentations
to the review committee then after
lunch will meet with individual
municipalities.*****
John Tibbutts, president of
Conestoga College reported to
council on the work of the college
which serves Huron county. He
said he honestly could not see the
possibility of expanding daytirfie
education in the county by provid
ing an in-county campus but he
foresaw increases in part-time
study. He pointed to the success of
the local contact committee in
Brussels and predicted every
community in the county may soon
have a similar committee.
