County council approved that department's budget at its Feb. 2 session. It was one of several departmental budgets approved at the meeting. Approval of this budget is subject to final approval by county council when it sets the entire 1964 county budget at a later date. The overall planning and development budget is $389,476, up from $340,227 last year. Huron County taxpayers pay $294,236 of this budget. The rest is funded by the pro- vince through community planning' study grants of $55,000 and $40,240 from plan- ning and development's reserve fund. Salaries are the largest part of the budget. The total salary figute of $159,732 is ac- tually down from last year's total of 8160,579. The difference is explained by the fact that when senior The readers write.... Varna, Ontario Dear Editor; I would like to inform your readers of a public meeting to discuss the preparation of a history of Stanley township on Thursday, February 9, 1984 at 8:00 p.m. in the township hall in Varna. Stanley Council has decid- ed to celebrate the 150th an- niversary of the township in 1986. They in co-operation with the Recreation Commit- tee and some interested local people hope to have a history prepared in time for this anniversary. All residents of the township and bordering hamlets are asked to attend this meeting if possible. A special invitation is extended to those outside the township who have roots in Stanley or other interest in township history. Past experience of those who have written local history indicates that much material comes to Light after the book has been published; so it is of the utmost importance that all relatives, former neighbours and anyone that might have pictures or infor- mation on the township's past be notified and the material made available for the history.

Production of zoning bylaws is another large ex- pense facing this department in 1964. County planner Gary Davidson said seven municipalities within the county will have their zoning bylaws completed this year which, he said, partly ac- counts for the $76,650 budgeted for production. Also, projects scheduled for completion in 1983 were left over and completed in 1964. Seven new projects account for the increase in com- munications or advertising costs from 810,500 to 815,000 this year and business development and transporta- tion costs from 839,000 in 1983 to 858,800. Davidson said $8,000 has been included in the budget for the possible purchase of a computer. He noted that the county's computer study in- dicated the planning and development department should have its own computer. The county planner added that if a computer isn't pur- chased for the department this year, the budgeted money would transfer to the planning reserve fund.

County council approved several departmental budgets at its February 2 session. All budgets are subject to final review by the executive com- mittee and the county council when it approves its overall budget later this year. The total plumbing and en- vironment budget is 8112,690, up from $94,544 last year. The county's share increases from 840,544 to 841,440. The largest increase will come from the province through the Ministry of Health. The province is budgeted to pay 845,000 this year compared to 831,000 in 1983. County clerk -treasurer Bill Hanly said the province ac- tually contributed over $45,000 last year, but only 831,000 was expected when the 1983 budget was prepared. School review Continued from front page considerations: the needs of the children, the needs of the community and cost. The committee's report is to be submitted to the Huron County' board of education, which will carefully consider it when preparing its final report on the fate of the school. Any closure date would not be sooner than the end of one full school year following the date of decision. Meeting chairman Don MacDonald said he was pleas- ed with the number and the integrity of the questions ask- ed by the meeting which will be considered by the committee. Several citizens pointed out that despite the small decrease in enrolment, every room in the school was being used to capacity. Several rooms are being used by Huron Hope and the South Huron Association for the Mentally Handicapped. One lady added, "We had to discontinue the nursery school here because of a lack of space." Another was concerned with the fate of the school building if it was closed, stating it was the centre of the community and was being us- ed by many groups, especial- ly Brownies, Girl Guides, Cubs and Scouts. The committee was asked to check into the status of in- dustries in Huron Park and the population that could be drawn in. One citzen said, "We are a young community and there are a lot of toddlers and babies here that will up the school population in two or three years." The current financial ad- vantage of not needing to bus students to the school was mentioned by a number of speakers. Inspection and other fees - will finance the rest of the ex- penses. The largest expense of the 8112,690 budget is salaries at 874,765. This -is up considerably from $59,845 budgeted for salaries last year. Again Mr. Hanly offered an explanation. The clerk -treasurer . said staff was expected to be cut, go up but because of the additional money from the province, the number of staff remained the same. Employee benefits and travel are budgeted at 822,800 up frotn $20,615 last year. The rest of the budget is made up of costs for equipment, material and supplies, rent and administration.
