Superintendent HarveyJohn- son reported 44 admissions to date this year, with 30 deaths and three discharges. "We have County Detects New System of Assessment GODERICH-Huron County Council on Monday voted 23 to 14 against adoption of the coun- ty assessment commissioner sys- tem. P. G, Gillis, Department of Municipal Affairs supervisor, informed council that his de- partment supported establish- ment of the system "to ensure that every municipality, re- gardless of size, is able to mai tain an efficient assessment de- partment," "There is a moral responsi- bility on each of you,' he said, "to make sure each ratepayer has to pay only his just and proper share of taxes. Unfor- tunately, at present there are a great number of ratepayers pay- ing too much, and an equally large number paying too little, and quite a number not paying taxes at all, This happens be- cause people are employed who do not have proper equipment or proper records." Before the vote was taken, at conclusion of a long discus- sion, Warden Glenn Webb ex- pressed the opinion that the system will be adopted in Hur- on sooner or later. "Many of our assessors are marking time," he said, "and asking 'When are we going to have county assessment?' I be- lieve the system will be in ef- fect in this county. The ques- tion now is whether we are pre- pared to accept the recommen- dation of the report for Jan. 1, 1967. It is almost a foregone conclusion this will be a fact in this county at some time," The debate closed with an appeal by Brig. F. A. Clift, reeve of Bayfield, who said; "We should not drag our feet." "As pointed out by Mr. Gil. lis," he said, "we cannot af- ford not to adopt the new sys- tem. In our village there are all kinds of properties not being properly assessed, and it is very difficult to get them changed. AU this will come easily when we get the new system and trained assessors not subject to personal pressures." a large number of applications," he said. "Our married couples' rooms are filled, and some are in the bed care section." Reeve Clifford Dunbar, Grey, asked: "Is the ground floor sat- isfactory for bed care?" "Yes, it has worked out sat- isfactorily, " replied Mr. John- son. "We keep people down there who do not need a great deal of care. Since we opened that part (formerly used by staff) there was some objection, part being underground, but more want to go down there now then we have room for." Deputy Reeve Robert Squire, Goderich, asked if it would be feasible to have a full base- ment in the new part. "The first floor of our new part, " Mr. Johnston explained, "is on the same level as our ground floor now, so any base- ment in the new part would be practically all below ground level." He added that he thought sufficient help would be obtainable for the addition. "A great many Huronview employees have been given sal- ary increases, as a result of changes in the Minimum Wage Act. Some increases are retro- active to January, others on the anniversary date of employ- ment, and further increases will be forthcoming," Reeve Thome• son said, "as further changes in the Act become effective in December." Discuss Tree Planting Program GODERICH-Continuation or otherwise of the county's tree - planting program has become a matter for consideration. The provincial grant ended with conclusion of the 1964 program. "In addition to that," said Reeve Tom Leiper of Hullett in presenting the report of the agricultural committee, "we are wondering how much land throughout the county should be reforested when there is an ever-increasing demand for land for agricultural purposes. We hope to have a fuller report at the November session." Council authorized a peti- tion to the minister of lands and forests requesting permis- sive legislation "for smaller parcels of land to be reforested under agreement on properties not suitable for agriculture."

County History is Now Being Printed GODERICH-During the cur- rent year, $50, 000 will be add- ed to county council's hospital reserve fund, now standing at $102, 000, but there will be a withdrawal to pay a portion of Wingham and District Hospital's expenditure. "We are also expecting ex- penditures to the Goderich hos- pital," said clerk -treasurer John Berry, "but no definite dates have been mentioned." Whether or not the hospital fund will be continued will be up for decision soon. Mr. Ber- ry said: "In 1967 we will have completed our obligations for the present time to the various hospitals, and you will then have to decide if you are going to carry on with the fund for hospital purposes, and if so, on what basis." The clerk -treasurer reported a nominal surplus of $29, 268 at end of June, of which $14,143 is from highway account, High- way outlay totalled $639,474, Huronview $191,997 and Child- ren's Aid $54,417. "in 1966," Mr. Belrry point- ed out, "we will not have $80, 000 surplus transferred from surplus to operating expendi- ture, but to offset this loss there will be Less spent at the mus- eum, and the history will be paid off." The long-awaited county history is now being printed by Ryerson Press, but stili lacks an index.
