"Everything is still on track for a decision (regarding waste management alterna- tives) by the end of September," he said. He added that once that decision is made, depending on the outcome of the consul- tant's findings, the A3 site in Ashfield will be officially dropped. Coun. Mason Bailey of Blyth restated his objection to the study and wanted it noted that the Blyth-Hullett landfill board is not in favour of the county take over of landfill sites.

IT NOW COSTS MORE TO SPREAD OUT AT THE FLEA MARKET The Social and Cultural Services Committee has dccidcd to hump the tees for space at the flea market at the historic gaol in Godcrich. in the past, the vendors were charged by the linear foot, with a minimum of $8 and a maximum of $40. Problems emerged, howev- er. because some vendors payed thc minimum charge and then expanded their space by laying goods out on the lawn, insisting that they only needed to pay for the 'table space' they were using. To address the problem of 'spreading out,' the committee dccidcd to charge 15 cents per square foot.

"To suggest [a hospital clo- sure] would be unfair. No one knows the future," he said. Johnson said the studies are an exercise in cost-cutting . and shutting down hospitals is not the only way to do it. Fraser Bell, executive director of the Huron -Perth DHC, said the arca received a three per cent reduction in health care funding and he expects more cuts in the next two years. "We need to make the sys- tem efficient, effective and affordable:. We have to respond to and address these cuts while maintaing the health services," he said. Johns said several district health councils are doing similar studies launched by Minister of Health Jim Wilson. "IThc study) -will set how health care will be delivered to our kids and the future.
