agree."
"Our main objective should be to
find some novel ways of cutting
(the budget), getting the staff to
think smarter and look at every
thing they do," said Mr. Cobum.
"We need to look for more eco
nomical ways of doing things. Cut
it until someone yells, if they don't,
you have saved some money."
RE-ELECT
DAVID
I see it this way
PUC and reeve hopefuls answered question and concerns of more than 80 people at the all
candidates meeting held at Blyth Memorial Hall on Nov. 1. From left, are: Tom Cronin, PUC
candidate; Mason Bailey, reeve candidate; Dave Webster, PUC candidate; George Reinink,
PUC candidate and Eugene Coburn, reeve candidate.
years to a time when developing
was a pleasure. There are too many
obstructions and penalties for the
developers."
"The homeowner should pay for
services installed," says Mr. Web
ster. "There should be no cost to
the village. The subdivider should
pay the extra costs."
Mr. Reinink said the subdivider
should carry most of the costs, but
the rules and regulations must be
the same for everyone. "A develop
er should not have to pay the cost
of running a water main to the end
of the street where his lot is while
bypassing four other empty lots."
Other methods of sharing costs
were put forth by Mr. Cobum. "In
other communities, a lot levy is
applied to the developer. This
money is then used towards other
development. Blyth's first objective
would be to see if we had the
money to set up such a system."
General development
Blyth is not likely to see subdivi
sions or production line plants, said
Mr. Bailey. "This type of growth
will not happen in Huron County or
in Blyth. We have to rely on small
business. The residents must take a
gamble with their own money to
start a small business and hire a
few people. We must create our
own jobs. We have to attract those
retiring or looking for small town
life. We must keep doing what we
have been doing, only better."
"The trend is definitely towards
small business," said Mr. Cobum.
"There is a large number of people
in their 40's and 50's who have
been laid-off and can use their tal
ents to market new businesses."
Union gas in Blyth
Mr. Cobum said he is completely
supportive of a natural gas line
through Blyth if the cost is compet
itive. "In the larger centres, gas is
the most economical, but in Blyth
will the customer be asked to pay

Doug Hugill
Though taking his first step into
municipal politics in his bid for the
post of Hullett councillor, Doug
Hugill has been a member of the
Seaforth and District Community
Board for five years and a trustee
on the Maitlandbank Cemetery
Board for 10 years.
Mr. Hugill says the most impor
tant goal for him to achieve as a
councillor is to hold the line on
taxes and maintain sensible spend

He has been a resident of Hullett
Twp. for 30 years, where he is a

extra to cover the cost of the
pipeline? I have heard reports that
there could be an additional cost of
$400."
"I support the arrival of natural
gas in Blyth because it will enhance
the property values and there is no
cost comparison," said Mr. Bailey.
Wrap up
Resident Bill Manning gave the
new council and the candidates
several issues to consider includ
ing: unnecessary and extravagant
spending such as the renovation of
the town office, the buying of the
4x4 tractor for the landfill, and
erection of the village sign; over-
design and construction of Morris
Street; sidewalk construction not
shared around the village and town
office public relations.
Susan Howson spoke out on
behalf of the village saying, she is
very proud of the community and
their accomplishment. "We are
thought of highly outside this area
and we should be proud of who we
are. We can accomplish even more
if the lines of communication are
kept open to the new council."
In his closing remarks to the
gathering, Mr Bailey said he would
encourage the acclaimed council to
give a lot of thought to everything
council did. "We need a council
which has your concerns at heart
and one that won't throw money at
