With the deadline for a decision
on PUC restructuring set for Feb.

decision.
Reeve Mason Bailey, Councillor
Jeff Howson and Clerk-Treasurer
John Stewart attended a meeting in
Seaforth last week where numerous
representatives from across the
county gathered to hear a presenta
tion from Acres International about
a joint venture.
In reviewing the meeting, How-
son told councillors at the Jan. 31
session, that in his personal opinion
there is only one option for small
municipalities such as Blyth and

just his opinion and felt it was very
important to hold a meeting with

£han&A, SHane!
We would like to thank Diane Ferguson,
Customer Service Coordinator at Sparling’s
Propane, Blyth, for bringing all the organizations
and people together to complete the heater project
in the spectator area at the Blyth & District
Community Centre.
Diane’s hard work generated $6050. in donations
from local organizations, service clubs, and
ultimately helped ensure the cost to local
taxpayers for this $13,113. project was zero.
Nice job.

administration is satisfied with
what we have put together,” said
Stewart.
With council’s approval of the
amendments, Stewart will forward
the material to the county in hopes
the strategic planning committee
will review it at the Wednesday
(today) session.
It is hoped a recommendation for
approval of the North Huron plan
could go to county council on
Thursday.
Council also passed a motion
appointing Councillors Jeff How-
son and Murray Nesbitt to the tran
sition board so that background
work for amalgamation can get
underway. No resolutions can be
passed until the plan has provincial
acceptance.
