Resolutions on
County offers site for estate fax to be
cOnsidered ;by FOA
board of !di/cation
*Lion County Council agreed
Wednesday in Goderich that the
second floor of the pew assess-
ment building would be the
most satisfactory site for the of-
fices of the new Huron County
Board of Education.
Main argument in the deci-
sion to offer the site for the
new board's consideration was
the fact that facilities are pres-
ently available. Any saving ,
would thereby be spread across
the county rather than in favor
of any one particular munici-
pality.
It was also thought that the
board's offices should be locat-
ed in the county administrative
set up with easy access to re -
Province pays 49%
of maintenance
John G, Berry took time out
at Thursday's session of Huron
County council to explain just
what it has meant financially
to the cot:day since the new ad-
-ministration of justice scheme
came into effect with the prov-
ince picking up the tab for these
COM.
Mr. Berry said it had been
estimated that 49 per cent of
the available space in the.Huron
County court house was used for
the administration of justice so
that the provAce now .pays 49
per cent of all lonaintenance
costs on the court house. In
addition, the province pays
$13,000 annually in rent for the
building. .
It amounts to about $27,900
a year," reported Mr. Berry.
At the registry office, the
province pays 100 per cent main-
tenance and rental each year of
$3, 000. •
At the jail and the Children's
Aid Society offices which ad-
join, the province pays 86 per
cent of all maintenance and
$14,0004Peach year in rent..
Total remuneration to the
county from the province for the
administration- of justice is about '

suggested to allow both
the county and the scheol board
the opportunity to review their
administrative requirements.,
Clinton Reeve James Arm-
strong drew attention to the
fact that his municipality is not
in favor of a Goderich site for
the school board. Mr. Arm-
strong said, "That building was
supposed to be earmarked for
any future county expansion.
The school bdard.has nothing
to do with the county and the
county ha,4 nothing to do with
the school board."
Derry Beyle, reeve 9f the
town of Exeter, claimed that
while county council certainly
had no jurisdiction over the
board of education, it made
sense to locate the new board
within the county administrat-
ive headquarters, "Itis a little
.ridiculous to move it any place
else," added Mr. Boyle.
"It might cut out the cost of
operation," interjected Reeve
Roy Pattison, Ekst Wawanosh, -
who concurred that Goderich
was the proper site.
Howick Reeve Harold Robin-
son told council he had spoken
to members of the new board
of education from his locality
in an attempt to influence them
toward the Goderich location.
Nothing was said by the Sea -
forth representatives during the
exchange although it is well
known the town of Seaforth has
made a bid for the county
school beard offices.
In other,. business, the prop-
erty committee under 1968
chairman Harry Wersell, God-
erich, reported that an addi-
tional caretaker is to be hired,
.and that the new court house
boilers had been installed by

The Huron agricultural rep-

Mr. Pullen said European .

Resolutions directed at the
federal government from the
Ontario Federation of Agricul-
ture concerning Estate anciGift
Taxes and the qnde-,1n-a-Life-
time Gift will be considered at
the annual meeting of the Ca-
nadian Federation of Agricul-
ture.
Regarding the Estate and
Gift Taxes, the OFA urges that
the Canadian Federation study
some practical plan to effect
an orderly transition of the farn.
ily farm to the succeeding gen-
eration.. •
The resolution states that
recent federal and proVincial
proposals, designed to alter ffie
base for calculating gift and
estate taxes would appear to
put an unfair burden on the
farming community. This will
tend to discourage farmers'
sons from continuing farming
and would have thekeflect of
increasing the cost orfood.
In 1958 legislation placed
the value of a Onte-in- a -Life-
time Gift of real farm property
at $10,000: The OFA now be-
lieves that this figure is unreal--
istic. The special resolution
urges that the CFA take im-
mediate action to bring this to
the attention of the federal
government, so the once-in-a-
lifetime gift of real farm prop-
erty be established at $25,000.
Other resolutions concern
national marketing programs,
foreign aid, drinking and driv-
ing; and farm machineryde-
preciation.
