No individual budget sessions
BY JEFF SEDDON
The Huron county
board of education
refused to take its budget
on the road Monday when
no trustee endorsed a
suggestion to hold area
ratepayer's meetings to
explain the education
budget.
Goderich trustee Dave
Gower could not even get
a seconder for a motion
he made to have the
board hold public
meetings in the four
corners of the county to
explain education costs to
taxpayers.
Gower wanted the
board to sponsor four
meetings, one in the north
one in the south and one
each in the east and west
portions of the county. He
said such meetings would
provide the board with a
good opportunity to ex-
plain its budget and may
help to develop a better
rapport with ratepayers.
"There are a lot of
people that don't un-
derstand how the budget
is formulated," said
Gower. The Goderich
trustee added what the
board has "some
obligation" to the people
to explain the complex
budget.
Gower's suggestion
came on the heels of a
letter from Goderich
town council suggesting
that the board be en-
couraged to "formulate a
system of public
meetings to explain its
financial requirements to
taxpayers".
Board chairman John
Elliott said the board had
"taken the initiative in
past years to invite
council members to
budget meetings". The
chairman noted that it
would be good public
relations to set up budget
meetings in each
municipality but said
there's a time factor the
board has to consider. He
added that budget
meetings the board has
promoted in the past have
been poorly attended.
Gower said the drop in
attendance may be due to
restrictions placed on
those meetings by the
board. He said the board
concentrated on
municipal officals and
politicians setting up
Stanley halt plan approval
While the secondary
plan for Stanley township
has been in force since
last August, council is
still with holding third
and final reading.
Clerk -treasurer Mel
Graham said council is
generally pleased with
plan, but there are still a
few areas such as land
severance policy which
concern council.
Council will continue to
reserve final reading on
the plan ignoring the
Huron county planning
department who told
Graham that a grant of
$2,900 towards the cost of
the plan will be withheld
unless the plan received
third reading by June 30.
Considering the long
range consequences of
the plan "it's not that
much money to lose",
Graham stated.
In a move designed to
save the township money,
Stanley has purchased a
117 -acre farm . ' in
Goderich township' for a
gravel supply.
The township has been
trucking aggregates in
from outside the township
as no sources of gravel
exist in Stanley.
There should be enough
gravel to supply the
township for the next 20
years according to
Graham with no sales to
other municipalities or
private individuals
contemplated.
Purchase price of the
farm was not disclosed.
The township has
agreed to pay its share of
costs for the' Zurich area
fire board. The township
will pay $2,140 out of a
total of $10,144.

DI-SYSTON systemic insecticide is the organophosphate

pasT pointing out it wa,s
"not fair to choose or
eliminate those who can
come". He added that the
board has a "total
responsibility" to the
people who want to know
about and understand the
budget.
Elliott commented that
all board meetings are
open to the public. He
said the board has sent
out letters to councils
inviting them to attend a
budget session with the
board but added that the
letters are simple
reminders not restric-
tions.
"I get the feeling that
these letters specify
limited attendance," said
Gower.
The board sends letters
to mayors, reeves,
deputy -reeves, members
of council, fincance
chairmen and clerks
inviting them to a speical
meeting called to pass the
board's budget.
Seaforth trustee John
Henderson felt the ex-
planation of the board's
budget was the respon-
sibility of individual
trustees if they felt
special meetings were
necessary. The Seaforth
trustee said trustees
could arrange meetings
on their own if they felt
they were needed or
necessary.
