"While we tire spen i 8more dollars,we are not getting anymore miles of resurfacing for the increased costs," he ;added. Several councillors objected to the 27 per' cent increase in the .Y 1981 road `budget pointing out that if all budgets come in with such an increase, it would be impossible. for the county to maintain the desired overall 15 ;17 per cent increase in the county hudget d Mousseau, chairman of the; 1981 mittee told council that the; increase widget this year is directly related to replacefinent of -lhe Auburn' Garage; s "a one shot deal"Once the garage uu,: the 'road`budget e 1n roe h`t _f . e year. e x D � � ar 8 OentY Engineer,. � m seY suggest; d there . were . several alternatives which •could •b, B the : budget ; .down; .

Dempsey: asked: council not to cut con struction projects ..such as the, planned con" struction of ." Road 17 from the ' Perth" Boundary, west to Winthrop.

The board of health g bud et came in with an 18.5 per cent increase, largely due to expenditures created by the purchase of furnishings and ` equipment, for ,'the ' new countyhealth`buildin under const ruction at g r Huronview in Clinton. The reeve of "Bayfield, Georg a Fellows, Yf objected` : to . the allotted±. ,expenditure . of $45,000 for furnishings and equipment at thee. new health building. Brian .. Lynch, Medical Officer of � Health, told council more realistic, figures would be available at the end of February when it would be brought to council. He said the figure in the budget was ' aneducated guess, but that he ;,was certain when the figures were available, the furnishings and • equipment would cost less. Reeve Fellows commented that he did"not likeusing ex anded figures because this F g permits the exenditure'to increase to meet that figure. He said he did not .like this kind of budgeting. County clerk -treasurer, Bill ° Hanly, ° told the council members. that the figure of $45,000 -was realistic for the type :of facility and number of staff at the health -building. Hanly remarked that considering the type of building - and staff requirements, the cost of furnishings and equipment could well .` be $50,000, so therefore the budgeted figure of $45,000 was a realistic figure. >' .
