were busy with white bean harvest
and silo filling. The turnout was
generally higher in urban areas
than in the townships. Blyth, for
instance, showed a 68 per cent
turnout while Brussels had a 70.5
percent turnout. By contrast Grey,
had only 62 per cent of eligible
voters casting a ballot while Hullett
had 65 per cent.
Mr. Riddell’s supporters cele
brated their victory at a party at the
Goderich Township Hall in
Holmesville Thursday night. Mr.
Riddell said he was especially
proud to have worked in such a
hard-fought campaign with such a
hard-working group of campaign
workers. He promised to serve the
northern part of the county in the
same way the voters have come to
expect from him in the south of the
riding and had been expected from
such members as Murray Gaunt
and Murray Elston in the north.
He said he had been runningjust
as hard in this campaign as he had
in 1973 when he ran for the first
time and was elected in a by-elec
tion. He paid tribute to Mr. Peters
and Mr. Kloppforthechallenge
they had presented and wished
them all the best for the future.
He thanked his wife Anita and
his family, saying this was the sixth
election he had fought and they had
helped him through time and
again.
He pledged that now that the
election was over there were no
Liberals or Conservatives but he
would be representing people of
Huron regardless of their political
stripe.
Nico Peters congratulates Jack Riddell after the incumbent ran up
more than 60 per cent of the votes cast in Huron riding in Thursday’s
election. A victory party was held in Holmesville for Liberal party
workers.

Important changes to the Ontario
Farm Tax Rebate program will help
farmers more than ever.
The rebate for a farmer’s municipal
taxes increases from 60 to 100 per
cent The municipal tax rebate applies
to all farmlands and outbuildings.
Rebates will no longer apply to the
farm residence and the surrounding
one acre of land.
In addition, farmers will not be
required, as they have in the past to
prepay their municipal taxes before
applying for the rebate.
Farm propei'ties will not be
reassessed unless changes to the
property that would normally require
assessment are made.
Applications for the rebate are
being sent by mail; they must be sub
mitted by December 31,1988 for
rebates on the 1987 period.

program and the changes made,
