The report sub- mitted by A. D. Smith. reeve of Turnberry, noted cost was "considerably higher than the department of municipal affairs led us to believe". Speaking on behalf of the budget, assessment commis- sioner, E. F. Hall said there was from 40 to $50, 000 which the department of municipal o Fairs "somehow forgot about". He said council was "not deliberately misled" by the .de- partment but that the depart- ment obviously had "no idea of what this would cost because the department had had no per- sonal experience in assessment matters", Reeve Anson McKinley asked if next year's budget would be somewhat lower. "I'm shocked to learn this will cost over $7, - 000 for every municipality in the county, " stated McKinley. "If this \rill be the case from now on, we were a damn site better off the way we were be- fore". "The job has not been done in the past, sir, " retorted Hall who estimated that about $31, - 000 would be deleted from next year's budget if salaries remain static. "The Act states that every home will be visited an- nually and this has not been done. The records are. wholly inadequate: " "It depends on the individual who is building a set of cup- boards whether he hires a car- penter or a nail puller, " observ- ed Hallo Reeve Roy Pattison, Wawan- ., osh, ,asked Hall if there was much "hidden assessment" in the. county`as council had been led to believe. • Hall said that after working in Huron County for pnly about 4 months, he was convinced that there has been a great deal Howick Lions bingo winners Regular Games: Mrs. Voisin, Formosa; Anna Copeland, Har- riston; Mis.„ air-riston;::Mss:- FA -.Scott, Listowel; Anna Copeland, Harriston; Mrs. Dodkin, Listowel, Mrs. Cliff ,Henry of Harriston, Mrs. H.

He told Reeve James Arm- strong, Clinton, that a business- man pays "strictly on the prop- erty he occupies and not the volume of business he conducts," Hall told council his depart- ment would assess properties according to the Act. "I assure yeti, you will hear about it, " advised Hall. • Newly appointed directors of the Children's. Aid Board are Jack Alexander, reeve of Wing - ham, and Lloyd Hendrick, dep- uty -reeve of Hay.

Huronview budget was approv ed at $746, 466 with the county share being $78, 900. In his re- port, Reeve Robert Lyons, chair- man of the Huronview commit- tee, noted that salaries and em- ployment'benefits now account for $541,000 or over 70 per cent of the total budget.
