Commissioners relent
• Continued from front page
didn't think it was necessary
for three Hydro officials to
be on hand to explain it, but
that he had tagged along
only to meet the Com-
missioners.
Brunet said- Hydro was
anxious to have a uniform
type of accounting in all
Utilities and added it
appeared that Exeter PUC
would be heading towards
joint- ownership (water and
hydro departments) of the
local building in that both
would now -have equity in it.
"It's much clearer and
clear-cut if only onetowns
the building, either water or
hydro departments." he
said.
He explained that under
the Power Act, Ontario
Hydro has the authority to
dictate uniform methods of
operation for Utilities.
Boyle argued that the
municipal building doesn't
belong to anyone in Toronto.
The people in Exeter are the
controlling body. he stated.
"In reality, Toronto runs
all local Utilities and to me
that's wrong•" the Mayor.
commented, adding that the
Power Act puts too much
control on Commissions.
Brunet said that Sir Adam
Beck recognized that costs
could get out of hand unless
there were controls and
that's why the Power Act
was passed. "If it wasn't
controlled.• the electric end
could subsidize the water
department."
"We may as well be a
committee of council. We
don't have much leeway as
elected officials." Boyle
replied.
Manager Hugh. Davis said
the controls were necessary
to prevent situations where
politicians don't give people
what they require in the way
.of services and facilities in
an attempt to keep rates
down and be popular with
the electorate.
"Agreed, but it's still the
peoples' choice." Boyle con-
tended, addiny,that while he
accepted Hydro's position.
.he didn't agree with it.
Livingstone said it was the
principle of the matter that
concerned him, questioning
when the PUC would have
been given permission to do.
—the -project had they moved
along proper channels.
Brunet said he didn't think
there would have been any
inordinate delays. adding
that Hydro often approves
supplimentary budgets dur-
ing the year.
"What happens if we do
nothing?" Greene question-
ed.
Sunley replied this would
make the water department
one-third owner in the
building which is presently
valued at 534,600. He said
the building•should then be
re-evaluated.
Boyle. said that, perhaps
the town should buy the
building back from the PUC,
stating that he was concern-
ed that "Ontario Hydro will
try to take over this building
some day".
Livingstone then ended
the discussion by saying the
PUC had no other alter-
native but to follow the cor-
rect financing procedure
and this was approved by the
members. •
Both Brunet and Sunley
pointed out that Ontario
Hydro had made the mis-
take through incorrect ad-
vice of their former accoun-
tant.

and Dorothy Williams of
Clinton, reminded the board
that in 1978 127,357 was
budgeted for capital ex-
penditure and $30,790 in 1977.
It added that the 1102,600
expense was $35,700 less than
the total value of equipment
needed to be replaced or
repaired.
Frayne told the board that
because the board normally
spends at least the amount
generated by the $6 per pupil
formula it really was looking
at raising 175,000 over and
above normal expenses. He
added that the expense was
not frivilous but was in fact a
necessity.
"To my way of thinking
four schools have vocational'
training and are loaded right
to the ears and there are
other courses being used a
lot less," said -Frayne. "In
the future the .board could
consider having courses like
Latin or Spanish at Seaforth
where they don't have
vocational training and
having vocational courses at
other schools. . I don't
see how a taxpayer In this
county can object to :this •
board spending $75,000 in
school so a teacher can
teach"
The seperate school
trustee added that he "can't
see spending money for a
teacher to stand up in front
of a classroom With nothing
to teach with".
John Henderson said the
committee wanted it clear
that the recommendation it
was giving the board's
budget committee was not to
be Changed without board
approval. He said a similar
recommendation was made
last year and the budget
committee (threw l it out
because money was not
available. He said this year
if money is tight the com-
mittee wanted the matter
brought back to the board
before any changes are
made in the equipment
replacement program: •
Goderich , trustee Dave
Gower, a new trustee, asked
if the board's sanctioning of
the committee report meant
that the expense .
automatically went into the
budget. He said that he
appreciated the problem but
pointed out that many Items
of a simile ture would
come befor he budget
committee and that until
more is known about' ex-
penses for 1979 it would not
be wise to spend this kind of
mone , He said le could
su•`:;irt the recom-
mendations if they were just
given priority but he could
not support them if a final
decision was being made
now.
• John Cochrane, director of
education, explained to
Gower that- ldst year a
similar request was given
the budget committee and
that committee "in its
wisdom or whatever"
changed the amount in the
recommendation. He said
this year the committee
wants the recommendation
to stand if possible and if that
is not possible it wants the
budget committee fo come
back to the board with any
changes. He said the
recommendation is "not
carved in stone", but means
that any changes will be
made by the whole board.
Exeter trustee Clarence
McDonald told the board
that he couldn't see where
the money was coming fr.
He said he felt the budget
committee would have to
"sharpen its pencil" without
this kind of problem. He Said
he dlcln't ,.think the bbard
could tell)the budget com-
mitted ;it'•had to work this
kind of 'expense into the
budget adding that the board
may have to look at
amalgamating courses.
Frayne said that today
nearly all the courses taught
in the schools are used by the
students but added that it
"wasn't important whether
students put the knowledge
into a trade". "What's Im-
portant to me Is that the fact
that they can use it," he said.
He added that the prin-
cipals knew that they were
not going to getreverything
they asked for but told the
board that "it couldn't go on
forever just putting it off".
He said he realized the figure
was hefty but Be coul'dnrt..
see how the board "can't
provide equipment for
teachers to teach with and
yet can give them a nine
percent raise to teach".
"If you're going to put a
teacher in fropt of the
classroom you're going to
have to give him something
to tech with," he stressed
again.

pay -boost
In a turnabout, Grand
Bend council rescinded a
motion passed in October
which would have seen the
stipends increased for coun-
cillors.
The motion called for in-
creases of $5 and 12.50
respectively for regular and
special meetings. - -
The way the original mo-
tion was worded, only the'
council appointees to the
planning board, the com-
...mittee of adjustment and
the recreation committee
would receive the $2.50 in-
crease. bringing their.
amount up to $17.50 per
meeting. Ratepayers ap-
pointed to the three bodies
would continue to be paid
the old amount of $15.
- Councillor Keith Crawford
said the increases should be
across the board.
Bill Baird agreed, but said
council could not afford an
across the board increase.
Following some discus-
sion. council agreed to res-
cind the original motion.
Earlier, Reeve Bob
Sharen said the increase
'would be only the second in
nine years which means the
resort would- maintain its
middle of the road position
for municipal salaries in
Lambton county.
