back to the social services
committee for review.
"We are giving a wee bit
but it is way up to 17.5 per
cent.' Whitmore said of the
requests. He made aplea for
each committee to re-
examine its budget.
Whitmore. reeve of Ailsa
Craig. said the finance com-
mittee's final pre -budget
session will he March 25.
five days before council's
budget meeting. The coun-
ty's 1980 budget of almost
$12.5 million represented a
7.7 per cent increase over
the 1979 levy to the 22 -
member municipalities, or
$2.905.313.
A proposed $3.588.100 to
operate the 244 -bed home for
the aged in Strathroy called
for an increased county con-
tribution of $270.200 - more
than 22 per cent. he said.
Council wants to keep the
over-all budget increase to
seven per cent.
Home administrator Ber-
nie Jordan said another look
will be taken at the forecast
expenditures. He said the
province has increased daily
cost rates for residents
which would decrease the
county contribution.
He also pointed out the
home is only asking for a 7.8
per cent increase over its
$251.000 request of 1980.
But. o1 that. only $220,000
was spent. which retakes the
new request a 22 per cent in-
crease. Maybe we should
have spent more".
Most of the budget in-
crease is due to wage in-
creases. Whitmore said. The
personnel committee
negotiated wage increases
away over their allocation.
He said he can't see how
the budget can be kept to a
seven per cent increase.
"We have to cut some place,
but just where we are going
to cut. 1 don't know."
There is no surplus to
work with this year. he said,
after having more than
$100.000 available a year
ago.
Nothing can be done with
welfare assistance which is
expected to increase 18 per
cent to $608.907. requiring a
15.5 per cent rise in county
funds to $142.199. he said.
Council approved a $5,453,-
000 county and London sub-
urban roads commission
budget. an increase of 2.7
per cent. Whitmore said. to
meet a deadline for provin-
cial grants. It means an in-
creased county expenditure
of 7.2 per cent to $1.750,000.
Council approved a $962,-
078 bid of McLean -Foster
Construction Ltd. of RR 1.
St. Marys. for reconstruc-
tion of Walker's Bridge over
the Thames River near
Glencoe. a joint project with
Elgin County. The cost. in-
cluding engineering and land
purchases. has been es-
timated at $1.203.000.

Test still
in Huron
Two Ontario farmers are
constructing demonstration
ethanol distillation facilities
with the assistance of grants
from the Ontario Ministry of
Agriculture and Food and
the Ministry of Energy.
Ed Brubaker. manager Of
the agricultural energy
management resource cen-
tre. says there is room in the
program for three or four in-
novative established
farmers or groups of
farmers.
The grants cover 40 per
cent of the capital costs of
building the stills. to a max-
imum of $15.000 for in-
dividuals and 820.000 for
groups of farmers.
Brubaker says. "Fanners
must be willing to show and
explain their equipment and
processes to other farmers
so that information and ex-
pertise gained on these
demonstration units can be
distributed as widely as
possible." The units will also
be monitored to determine
costs and benefits. and
energy inputs and outputs.
One of the participating
farmers is a dairyman in Ox-
ford and the other a beef and
pork producer in Huron.
Both will use the ethanol to
fuel tractors and trucks nor-
mally run on gasoline. The
spent grain. known as
stillage. may be used as a
medium level proteid feed
for livestock.
The name of the Huron
farmer will not be released
until the project is set up.
