March Municipalities get $50;000 Kinloss council passes ___ ___ _1_ _ __ costs -1- fire budget, subject for amalgamation costs Huron Township and Ripley jointly received a $50,000 grant to help cover the costs of its upcoming amalgamation. Municipal Affairs Minister Ed Philip was at the Ripley -Huron Complex last Thursday to present the cheque to the two councils who underwent• the amalgamation pro- cess last year. Philip congratulated the two municipalities on their voluntary amalgamation. "The province is extensively overgoverned," he said. When the two municipalities officially become one in 1995, he said it will help the province achieve a goal of cutting costs and having less government. He said all municipalities are faced with challenges to provide better services under financial con- straints. "Amalgamation is one of the tools available to municipalities." He said the amalgamation will serve as a good example to other municipalities of how well they can all work together. He said amalgamations are a form of compromise that benefits every- one by creating a larger tax base and a stronger focus on plans for development. Huron .Township Reeve Murray Thompson, who chaired last year's amalgamation committee, said, "I think amalgamation is something that will catch on gradually." He said the township has already received calls from other municipal- ities like Grand Valley, inquiring about the process. "It's encouraging to see there are other people interested." Philip said, "We hope you'll encourage neighboring municipal- ities to explore with our staff."
