T -A photo Huron gets new Ag office Iluron county will son have a new office of the, Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food in Clinton, Agriculture Minister Jack Riddell an- nounced during- an all -candidates meeting in Londesboro Monday night. Riddell was replying to a question from the audience that referred to overcrowding at the present office. "We are going to have a new OMAF office in Clinton," he said. The On- tario Ministry -of Government Ser- vices has been looking al some pro- perties in Clinton, he said, and he understood some offers had been issued on land. "It will he here within the very near future," he promised. The reply deflated . the earlier arguments of his two opponents. Paul Klopp for the NDP said- he had understood the money had been allocated for the new building at least three years ago but some highly - placed official in the Ministry in Toronto had decided Iluron didn't need a bigger office. "I thought we'd have it by now because 1 understand that official has retired," Klopp said. Huron needed a stronger voice so bureacra(s would not be able to kill such projects so - easily. he said. Nico Peters for the Progressive Conservatives said he didn't feel the OMAF office was too small and he couldn't see the need for a new office.
