He blamed a "very complicated formula" employed in Toronto to establish entitlement ,rates and lakefront properties in Hur-' on County, which are selling "well in excess of other county property", for the shortage of funds. ' The entitlement rates are figured on provincial equalized assessment and county road funds are raised from county equalized assessment.

Perth residents topay $2.50 fee A number of Perth County residents using Huron County Public Libraryfacilities will be required to pay a• fee of $2.50' . when they,register at the li - brary. There is no county library in Perth County and as a result, . there can be no offsetting serv- ice between Huron and Perth. In Middlesex and Bruce Coun- ties, there is. county library service and persons from these counties using ,Huron library fa- cilities will not have to pay the registration fee.' In the . matter o fN rentals, the board . has established a policy whereby the basic rental will, be based on 1968 costs and to ti this will be added 25 per cent for capital expenditures. An' allocation of $15, 000 was pro- vided in the budget for rent. Rents will be reviewed each year to prevent a municipality's loss of moneyby renting to the county board. However, the county board has made it clear it will not permit a municipal- ity to make a large profit on the rentals.

I'm all for crop insurance. 1967 was a bad year for Ken Monteith. He had 130 acres of white beans rained out — just before harvesting. Ken was a very discouraged young farmer at that point. And finding the money to start again in 1968 was a problem. After his experience, Ken took advantage of the white bean crod insurance program as soon as It was introduced in 1968 -= and that helped make financing his farm operation easier too. It also paid off when half his '68 crop *was wiped out by rain shortly after planting., Apply for'Soybean insurance by June 20th. Apply for White Bean insurance by June 25th.
