KELLER GODERICH—Some of the ear- ly problems surrounding the for- mation of the new Huron Coun- ty Library System are being ironed out by the committee un- der the chairmanship of Duff Thompson, reeve of Clinton. Perhaps the most distinctive move to date was the adoption of a resolution circulated throughout Huron County and at a recent meeting of the Associ- ation of Rural Municipalities by the townships of Morris and East Wawanosh. The resolution adopted at last Thursday's session of Coun- ty Council called for a greater equalization of the methods of collecting and distributing li- brary funds. The Morris-East Wawanosh resolution pointed out that rural municipalities were contribut- ing much more money accord- ingly than the urban municipal- ities because collections were made on an assessment basis and distributions were made on a per capita basis. Therefore an urban centre with a population of 3000 and a low assessment was assessed $1400 for library purposes and would get twice as much in return as the rural area with a population of 1500 and a high assessment which kicked in $1300 for library purposes. The proposal adopted was to collect and distribute library funds either entirely on a per capita basis or entirely on an assessment basis. Derry Boyle, reeve of Exeter was pleased to learn that under the new system, library serv- ices would cost Exeter about $1600 as opposed to the $3000 Exeter people had been putting up in the past. Leroy Theil, reeve of Zurich reported that Zurich's levy was five times as much as it had been previously and questioned whether the new system of collection and distri- bution would again increase BY SHIRLEY J. KELLER GODERICH—County taxes will be slightly higher this year with the general rate increased by one full mill and the high- way account remaining un- changed. In his report to Coun- ty Council, Clerk-treasurerJohn Berry noted that the new County Public Library System, the Hur- onview debenture issue and the increase in cost of operations there, an addition to the county museum to the tune of $10,000, increased costs in other depart- ments and the establishment of a disaster fund were to blame for the tight budget. The only bright spot in Clerk Berry's report was a re- duction of $35, 000 made this year in monies payable to the Hospital Reserve Fund in an ef- fort to offset the additional de- benture issue. Time 1067 budget calls for $612,301.52 to be raised for general purposes on a rate of nine mills and $632,804.57 to be raised for highway purposes on a rate of mills; or a to- tal of IS mills for county pur- poses. FUND SET UP Considerable discussion was heard on the establishment of a disaster fund to assist I futon County farmers who were vie- time of the tornado which tip- ped through sections of the county on April lg. Clerk Bet , ry recalled that in June 1053, $68,148 was raised through fed., oral and provincial sources, by public subscription and through 'Huron County Council for the relief of storm victims in the Myth area: 131yttt Reeve flordon Cook said that lintori County work crews moved bulldo2ers, chain , costs to his village. The men were told that the resolution would just redistrib- ute available funds and even up library costs to the county by imposing a greater responsibil- ity on rural subscribers who benefitted as much as any other persons by an improved library system. With regard to insurance coverage on libraries and con- tents in the county, Duff Thompson explained that the county hoped to carry the in- surance on all buildings in the county used entirely for library purposes. He said the county would insure everything at re- placement value in order that the depreciation factor would be eliminated and thus a maxi- mum of funds would be realized for replacement of buildings, books and furnishings should a loss occur. However, in the event that some municipality should wish to handle insurance of their own buildings, they are asked to ad- vise the Board in writing and agree to pay all premiums and assume all responsibility in the event of a loss. In all cases, insurance coverage on books and furnishings will remain the re- sponsibility of the county. Some councillors were con- cerned about libraries incorpor- ated into other buildings such as a community centre, They' were told —ich premises would be rented by the county but in- sured by the municipality, with the exception of the books and.. furnishings which would be own- ed and insured by the county. Said Duff Thompson, "The new library system should in- crease the breadth of education at all levels. The Board's idea of insuring at replacement val- ue is to make absolutely cer- tain that the service comes first' Thompson also indicated that National Film Board films may become available through all county libraries. saws and trucks into the disaster district at that time to help clean up the debris. Tuckersmith Reeve Elgin Thompson assured councillors that sufficient workmen had been promised but reported that a Huron-Perth Disaster Fund had been set up. He suggested that any money Huron County Coun- cil would offer would be match- ed dollar for dollar by the pro- vincial government. The warden's and personnel committee with Chairman Ken Stewart, McKillop, has been delegated to administer any Huron County funds to striken Huron farmers. Most council- lors felt that farmers with wind insurance should receive the same consideration as those farmers not protected by insur- ance, and concurred that a building clause suggested by Warden Don McKenzie should be included that fanners plan- ning to rebuild any destroyed buildings should be given spe- cial attention. Other committee members appointed to administer county disaster funds are county asses- sor A: A. Alexander and Doug Miles, Huron County agricul- tural representative. Grant Stirling, Goderich Township reeve complained that increased pressure should be put on provincial and federal gov- ernments to raise their ante to tornado victims, and at least one member of council, Clif- ford R i Dunbar indicated that some farmers covered by ample insuranee might be quite happy to "stand on their own feet" The atmosphere weighs as much as a layer of water o4 ft. deep, Farmers' march is postponed The farmers' march on Par- liament Hill in Ottawa is now planned for some time between mid-May and mid-June. At the first meeting Monday of the Qt., tawa March Committee, the date was moved to give the farm organizations a chance to detail their case against the federal dairy policy. Participating in the meeting in Toronto were the executives of the Ontario Federation of Ag, riculture and the Ontario Farm- ers' Union. Also invited to the Meeting was the executive of the Union Catholique des Cul- tivateurs, a representative of Quebec farmers. In the planning of the march itself, much of the work willbe done by local groups of the par- Appoint administrators of county disaster fund NEW SALES BARN—Jim McNair has com- pleted a new barn at his sales yard in Gorrie, The structure is 125 feet by 96 feet and is capable of holding some 800 cattle for auction, —Advance-Times Photo, HI00.1..10 “01.,4 lllll lllll llllllll 101111f An adult 90-ton blue whale eats more than a ton of shrimp each day.
