Land'- Divisiofl fee to -remain unchanged at $40 The Land Division Committee budget will require some juggling now, that members of Huron County Council have approved their proposed operation for 1972 but has cut its revenue by about $6,000. The original budget called for spending of $30,000 and was based on handling 600 applications at a cost of $50 each. However, county council amended the budget to provide for fees of $40. each as previously set when the Land Division Committee went into ac- tion. The committee expressed its concern at the amount of work that is involved with each ap- plication and more particularly, that it is taking a considerable amount of time to complete applications in connection with the consents.. Extra meetings have been held and the committee intends to pursue the problem further to try to improve the flow of work. . Reeve Elgin, Thompson, Tuck- ersmith, Said that he could un- derstand the $50 fee providing the severance was 'approved. Reeve Ed Oddliefson, Bayfield, said that all applications re- quired considerably work whether they were approved or not. He said that if the applica- tions were rejected, by the cortq- mittee, the land owner had other alternatives -appeal' to the minister or to the Ontario Muni- cipal Board. The majority of councillors agreed that the fee should not be increased from $40 to $50 -and an amendment to the report was approved.. Health, planning; welfare big items in Huron budget.

' The welfare budget, according to Chairman' Harold Robinson, Reeve, of Howick, was a difficult one to strike because it is a new department in the county.

The county share of $94.,510 'amounts to about ,24 per cent' of the total budget.
