CPH rep states case to councillors present
It was a very quiet session for
Blyth council, Nov. 4, when only
two members, Reeve Mason Bailey
and Councillor Ron Ritchie, attend-
ed.
After waiting the required half
hour to achieve a quorum, Reeve
Mason Bailey decided to go ahead
with the presentation by Brian King
of the Clinton Public Hospital
restructuring task force, though no
decisions could be made.
King informed council about
action being taken by the task force
to gather support for the retention
of all Huron County hospitals. A
Reeve Mason Bailey reported to
Councillor Ron Ritchie (the only
councillor in attendance), at the
Nov. 4 meeting, about the property
tax reform meeting held in Toronto,
Nov. 1-2.
Toronto is fighting actual value
assessment, similar to Huron Coun-
ty's market value assessment, but
assessed each year, said Bailey.
Speakers from Tel Aviv, Israel,
London, England, California and
British Columbia spoke to the con-
ference, explaining the pros and
cons of their systems.
Representatives from British
Columbia, the only area now using
actual value assessment, said no
one was happy with the system. It
would take at least three to five
years to implement, Bailey was
told, instead of the 15 months
requested by Premier Mike Harris.
The cost of the system is also
very high.
*****
Further business was dealt with
Tuesday morning, when a quorum
was present.

The developer for McConnell
Street will be contacted regarding
winter maintenance.
petition is being circulated and
each municipality is being asked to
send letters to the premier, minister
of health and MPP.
A brief meeting, held Tuesday
morning to take care of necessary
business matters, was attended by
Bailey and Councillors Ron Ritchie
and Gerald Kerr. Council decided
to support a resolution suggested
by the task force.
The resolution stated that with
the announcement from Minster of
Health Jim Wilson, regarding an 18
per cent reduction in health service
funding, major cuts could result in
the loss of medical/surgical beds
A letter of request was received
from the Blyth Area Fire Board,
asking council to inform residents
of a board policy. Anyone propos-
ing to burn an old structure or to set
fire to something that would consti-
tute a major blaze, such as old hay,
must notify the fire department.
Failure to do so could result in a
false alarm which could be charged
to the property owner.

Blyth
On Nov. 4 there were seven
tables of euchre in play at Blyth
Memorial Hall.
Winners were: high lady, Hazel
Watkins; high man, Kay Konarski,
playing as a man; ladies' low,
Grace Cartwright; men's low,
Millar Richmond; ladies' lone
hands, Marie Bromley; men's lone
hands, Lawrence Plaetzer.
and the possible closure of hospi-
tals.
While Huron County hospitals
are currently under review by the
Huron-Perth District Health Coun-
cil, citizens realize cuts and reduc-
tions will be made, but believe
restructuring and financial respon-
sibility can be accomplished with-
out closures.
The resolution asks for support
from residents in the campaign to
save Huron County hospitals, to
ensure no facilities are closed and
to make a direct appeal to the
appropriate political offices.
Council authorized full payment
to Lavis Contracting Ltd, in the
amount of $33,909.58, with regard
to the First Paving Certificate for
Moths Street.
The first-ever Blyth and Area
Dining Out Program was a success
as 20 seniors and volunteers gath-
ered at Trinity Anglican Church,
Nov. 8, to enjoy a delicious lunch
and listen to Clare Vincent speak
on Remembrance Day.
"We all owe a debt to those who
served," said Vincent. ''Remem-
brance Day gives us the chance to
consider what life may have been
like if those people had returned
from the war and to ask if we are
making the best of what they left
for us."
It is the Legion's objective to
keep alive the memory of what had
gone wrong, he said. "It is hard for
those who have had two genera-
tions without war to remember
those they didn't know. We help the
young remember and to appreciate
the heritage that is theirs. It is based
on freedom which is earned and
sometimes has to be defended."
The Dining Out program is spon-
sored by Town and Country Home-
makers.
