Serious discussion precedes
pay raises for county. council
BY SHIRLEY J. 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”.
Reeve John Flannery, Sear
forth, reminded council that
the average wage in H ur o n .
County was $1000 below the

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.
