CHECKED
Dr, Frank'lVlills, medical officer of •
health, told COnnty council at last
Friday's session that the Huron County
Health Unit would qualify for a 25 per
cent increase in its provincial grant if
it would amalgamate with other county
health units,
Provincial grants now cover 50 per
cent of the health unit's operating
budget but the county health unit would
qualify for a 75 per cent grant if. it
joined other counties.
Dr. Mills told council that tkle Huron
County Health Unit ig being
discriminated against by the' province
and agreed with Warden Anson
McKinley that it is 'simply an unfair
arrangement'.
Health Minister Frank Miller will
visit the county Friday, February 7 and
Dr. Mills urged councillors to contest
the issue with the Minister as he makes
his way through the municipalities in
the county. Health Minister Miller will
, be ip Goderich at the board room of the
assessment office from 10 to 11:45 a.m.
Dr. ,Mills stated that the facilities
offered in Huron County by the Health
Unit were excellent and thus they
deserve a larger grant portion from the
government without having to
amalgamate with other bodies.
In other county council business the
committee of management of Huron -
view had met with representatives of
the three Associations for the Mentally
Retarded in the county and established
a coordinating committee to provide
activities for retarded adults in the
County. The committee also took on the
secondary role of checking into suitable
esidential facilities for the County with
r
recommendations to be made nt a later
date,

Ontario On provide 80 per cent subsidy
for both capital and operating costs of
approved homes and up to ,80 per cent
of the cost to operate auxiliary homes '
,'for the mentally retarded.
Arrangements are now being com-
pleted to provide transportation for a
number of residents of Huronview, as �"
well as others in the area, to attend a
workshop in Dashwood. At least six
residents of Huronview are benefitting
from the program and an application ' { j °

County budget announced
Huron County Council
approved a 1975 roads
budget of $2,536,000 --- 23.8
per cent over the 1974
budget. In 1974 the grand
total budget was $2,129,000
while 'actual expenditures?
amounted to only $2,053,350
which was within 99.7 of the
budget.
The increase representing
almost 3.8 mills is the first
increase in the road levy •
since 1968 and represents an
increase in local funds of
less than 6 per cent a year.
Roads committee chairman
Ralph McNichol stated that
the budget was reasonable
since hot mix paving which
accounts for a large portion
of the budget increased
almost 50 per cent last year.
In May of last year the
paving mixture doubled in
price from $30 per ton to $60.
However this year the
Ministry of Transportation
and Communications
allocation of $1,480,000 is 22.9
per cent more than the
$1,204,000 allotted in 1974.
The cos,.t,to the County of the
new budget is only 16.4 per
cent more than in 1974 but
since the County no longer
has the reserve fund to draw
on because it was included in
the '74 budget, local funds
will now require an increase
of 38.3 per cent.
The committee did not
budget to use the -reserve
fund of $138,000 recom-
mending that it be retained
at its present level for future
emergency use. The com-
mittee also cited the back-
log of deficient roads in need
of repair as a major reason
for the substantial increase.
John Tinney, chairman» of
the Huronview committee
presented the 1975 budget
The legal an
nsurance pertaining to
liability.
The development com-
mittee budget submitted by
Warren Zinn called for the
budgeting of $19,200 to cover
the work of the county weed
inspector, $6,900 for
reforestation expenditures
and $40,300 for county
development expenditures
such as salaries and public
which totals $2,013,000.
County share of this budget i
amounts to $171,700 which is
8.5 per cent of the total
which compares to the 1974
cost of $77,494.71 or 5 per
cent.
Some of the major items in
the budget included $25,000
to replace dishwashing
equipment, $4,000 for a
washer -laundry extractor
and day rate increases of
$13.24 for residential care
and $23.57 for extended care
effective April 1, 1975. The
rates will increase from the
present $9.71 for residential
care and the extended care,
which is a floating figure
will rise from its rate of
$17.01.
Also ° negotiations have
been completed with both
the Service Employees
Union local 210 and the
International Union of
Operating Engineers local
772 and the new contract
provides for a $1.00 per hour
increase effective January 1,
1975, and an additional 50
cents per hour effective July
1, 1975. Mr. Tinney
reiterated that the set -
