The guest speaker was one of
times ahead for municipalities.
Reeve Bill Mickle of Exeter
warned that the change seems to
be part of a trend to make
municipalities shoulder more of the
cost of local services. The change
from unconditional grants with no
strings attached to the money to
more conditional grants, where
municipalities must meet the cri
teria of the provincial agency
involved, will mean the burden of
much more research on the part of
municipal staff to see what grants
are available and if the municipali
ty can qualify, he said.
Similar complaints have been
expressed across the province with
London controllers deciding last
week to have city staff prepare a
report on the impact of the move.
Reeve Mickle pointed to a pro
vincial government study that said
municipalities retain a significant
ability to shoulder more debt and
the members, Mrs. Doris Batkin.
She spoke on Dr. Charlotte White-
head Ross, first woman doctor in
Montreal and her father, Joseph
Whitehead who took a great inter
est in railroads. She lived in Clinton
as a young girl in the home which
Dr. Baker owned until recently.
Her talk was very interesting.
Lunch was served by Hazel and
Beryl Reid.
warned the province may be trying
to shift the burden for services to
the municipalities. He also pointed
to the provincial proposal for lot
levies to provide for hard services
(roads, sewers) and possibly soft
services (libraries, schools, etc.).
Exeter, he said already has a lot
levy of $750 and the rate could be
as high as $7,000 to $8,000 in
Toronto. He said he hasn’t a clue
what the additional levy might have
to be in Exeter under the provincial
plan.
“Our council in Exeter is very
concerned by this,’’ Reeve Mickle
said. Exeter council has asked
M.P.P. Jack Riddell for a meeting
in an open forum to discuss the
situation.
“I hope we can find in Huron
County a feeling of getting up off
our butts and telling these people
we do need funding and we are
concerned (about these moves)”,
he said.
