KELLER ,At Friday's session of Huron County Council, members voted themselves a raise of $5 per day from $20 to $25; an increase to $8 per day for meal allowance while attending conventions; a $400 per annum increase for the Warden from $800,to $1200; and a bus trip ,to the Ontario Legis- lature for which $600 has been budgeted. , . Serious discussion preceded, the pay raise for. members and the warden. Reeve Clarence "Derry" Boyle, Exeter, told council the warden received "a pretty small piece of change as thehead of a . government this size", Warden James' Hayter who hadsuggested an honorarium of $1000 for the warden, said he was keeping a running expense account which w o u ld show whether. or .not the warden was "making money" for his one year: of office. Reeve Borden Cook, Blyth, said, "Anybody who'gets.into municipal politics for the mon- ey involved . would soon be look- ing for a better position." cook. did'. advocate a six per„centhike for council .• members in keeping, with the six per cent per annum system of salary increases with regard to other county employ- ., es. Stanley Deputy Anson Mc Kinley said that if council had taken the six per cent raise every year since the last raise five or six years ago, the per diem rate would far exceed $25 per day. Oliyer Jaques, Hen-. sall, said for a. man attempting to hold down a job he was "los- ing money at the present rate”.

Warden Hayter explained that it cost the county about $35,000 per year for the 38 men and women who serve the county as councilors. He noted that some men in the county are asking"almost that much" and compared the salaries of j,oard of education members at $1800 per annum to county. councillors' average wage of $900 per member last year. The bus trip to Toronto' brought anpther wave of discus- sion led by Reeve Boyle who called it a "waste of the tax- payers' money" and "utterly ridiculous". He said the tax- payers would be "pretty.bitter about it ". Boyle said he was not only opposed - to -the -bus trip to Toronto but any bus trip which he called a "social event at the expense of the ratepay- ers". Clerk John Berry announced the trip to Toronto would in- clude 40 free tickets to see a hockey game at Maple Le a f Gardens "at no expense tothe county". Results of a vote show ed 32 members in favor of the trip and four against, "That's three more votes than I got last Year, " commented Boyle.
