The tax review committee comprised of Chairman Charles Thomas, Gerry Ginn, Cecil Des- jardine, Joe Kerr, Deb Shewfelt, Frank Cook and Warden ' Roy Pattison is meeting regularly now. flans are to make recom- mendations based on the findings of the committee in the field of welfare, library and health. "The committee proposed to detail a:cormparlson in costs be- tween population basis versus assessment basis for these three mentioned services," reported Mr. Thomas. . During the brief discussion, Reeve Anson McKinley of Stan- ley Township, applauded the re- cent provincial budget which gave a 50 per cent tax rebate to farmers but deplored.. the re- source equalization grant which "treats the land as a taxable re - ca to be equalized". "A lot of strange formulas will come out of Toronto in. the 'next couple of years," predicted John Berrtyr, clerk -treasurer, Ito county is giving a grant of $1,000 to. the Victorian Order of Nurses Whose services are :now available eounty4vide. This grant carries with it a eortdition, how- ever, that the r VON does not "solicit funds from the. •local municipalities in, Huron County",.

Details of the program and itinerary have not yet been an- nounced to the exchange group. John is a "natural" for a trip of this nature. He spent a year with a French-speaking family in Que- bec and attended high sebobi where all instruction was in French. .His familiarity with the lavage will add greatly to enjoyment of the trip.

She has accepted a position 'al the Wingham and District Hospi tal. 'Following the ;graduation a buffet leheon was held at the 'W nghan Giolf :Club. -Town council received a deputation Monday eveseng from Harold Remington regarding the installation of storm sewers and the`; ,nng. of a road in an area he is developing. ,Mr. Remington, accompanied by Lawyer Allan Mill, stated that W he purchased the land, a de ,elopm nt of six acres in the Bert Pa 'ch, he was not in- formed t t he would be required to install both sanitary and storm Sewersalong with the paving of the road into the development. einted out that prior to learnitg of this condition he would have had to sell the lots at a cost of $3,563 to break even, whereas with the addition of the two,. factors, the installation of storm sewers and the road pav- ings the cost of each lot would 'have. to, be $5,744 to come out even. The cost of the lots is con- sidered too high and would pro- hibit; their sale. Codicil explained that they had only Mealy been informed of iius requirement by the Ministry nettles and Inter -govern- mental Affairs. Mr. Mill told council that since the agreement to develop the land; was Made prior to Jan. 1, 1906,16. Remington might not be required to • meet these condi- tions, Two other - developments, the ..'.'red, Moore subdivision and Sunset Crescent, which were registered after Mr. 'Reming ton's, were not required to meet these standards. Mr. Remington said that if it was necessary to do the added work he would not be able to de- velop the land and thus the town would lose out on what he esti- mated would be $10,000 in taxes for the developed land. At present the town receives approximately $50 per year in taxes from the area. If the town agrees to allow Mr. Remington to proceed with the development minus the storm sewers and the road paving the municipality may, hbwever, be completely responsible for road maintenance. If the sewers and road requirements are met the town will receive a 50 per cent subsidy on the maintenance from the provincial government. Councillor Jack Gillespie was opposed to making a decision at this time for fear of setting a pre- cedent in which the town would have to foot the bill for other developments which have not met these specifications. Mayor DeWitt Miller, suggested he, would get more information from the Ministry in 'Toronto. Council agreed to postpone a de- cision until after the mayor has made his report. •The spectre of regio -govern . ment, or at , least a lessening.+of municipal control iloatert'throug :T Council Monday night 'gat Y monthly meeting. Huron County offered the r ices Of their 'weed ` ccontr of spector and .asked for at early, decision. Most councillors agreed that since the town pays for this Serv- ice it should be used. Councillor Margaret Bennett argued, how- ever, that the ;inspectors don't appear to have done: a very geed job in the past and' warned that the town is sacrificing its autonomy. The Maitland Valley Conserva- tion Authority asked that the town turn over controlof the two dams in Wingham to facilitate decisions about the raising and lowering of water levels in the Maitland River. Mayor DeWitt Miller commented that such a move would seeem necessary to co-ordinate the proper manage- ment of the Watershed. Council agreed to the request. Huron County also forwarded a letter and questionnaire asking Transportation and Commu- nications Minister Gordon Car- ton, Q.C., has announced the award of a contract on Highways 4 and 9 near Wingham to Cox Construction Limited of Guelph for $224,024.
