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.

H. EPPS MANUFACTURING LTD. 1 HIGHWAY 8, ONE MILE EAST OF CLINTON • 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.
