the. general meeting of the
' Authority held Dec. 3 in the
)Xeeer lieadquarters, Secre-
) -treasurer Nf arlene Shiell of
Listowel told members the
Vince has cut back sharply in
spending.
We will be allowed a
maximum increas of from two to
five.filte.per cent over our 1975 budget
amount for administrative costs
our capital expenditures are
obe 2 per cent less in 1976 than
they were this year," Mrs. Shiell
said.
UBtowel's representative on
Authority, Reeve Vince
y
Judge, said the 25 per cent reduc-
tion in capital expenditures
would apply to "provincial fund-
ing.,,
Shiell Authority
Mrs el said d the A li y
learned of the provincial cut-
backs at a meeting on Dec. 2 at
the London regional office of the
conservation authorities branch
of the Ministry of Natural Re-
sources.
As a result of the cutbacks,
Authority Chairman Jack of
Milverton said the proposed
budget for 1976 calling for ex-
penditures of approximately
$660,000 "is a whole bunch of
nothing." He added that he would
not be surprised if the province
also moved to .cut capital ex-
penditures by municipalities in a
similar manner.
Mrs. Shiell said if the Maitland
Valley Authority "was lucky" it
might be allowed to spend as
much in 1.976 as in 1975. Total
expenditures for 1975 were ap-
proximately $400,000.
Ministry officials toted the
Authority at the )i„ ondon meeting
that $9 million originally pro-
vided by the province for the
Southwestern region had been
slashed to $5 million.
"It will be up to the regional
office to decide how this $5
million will be allocated," Mrs.
Shiell said.
Of the proposed budget of
$660,000 the Authority had
planned to spend $130,000 for
administrative costs. "This will
have to be cut to about $95,000,"
Mrs. Shiell said. Administrative
costs in 1975 were $90,000.
In her report, Mrs. Shiell
staled, "The most significant
increases in the 1976 proposed
budget are attributable to admin-
istration costs, land acquisition
and water management pry
gram."
In the proposed budget the,,
water management prOgrallil:
accounts for $200,000, law',.
acquisition for $130,000 and
development of conservation
areas throughout the Authority
for $84,000.
In the water management pro-
gram, the Listowel conduit ae
counts for 570,000 ($40,000 for
final design, legal fees and
contingencies and $30,000 for
initial construction) . The entire
program regarding the conduit
will cost an estimated $660,000.
Other water management pro-
grams proposed are: fill line
mapping $45,000, ground water
studies $5,000, lakeshore develop-
ment study $20,000, erosion
control at Bluevale dam and pond
$15,000, Harriston channel im-
provements $211.000 and flood

Resources, Manager Ian
Deslauriers told. Authority mem-
bers the priority item as far as
land acquisition is concerned is
.the Saratoga imp.
"If land becomes available in
this area and it teaks like it is
becoming available - then we
will have to purchase At at the
expense of some of our other pro-
jects such as the McKillop poplar
swamp, the Lakelet Lake area,
the Galbraith ,area and the
Morris Hill: forest tract," he said.
As for, the effect of the pro-
vincial cutbacks on land acquisi-
tion, Mr. Deslauriers described it
as "a terrible laugh"

Reporting on land acquisition
in 1975, committee Chairman
Lorne Murray- of Moorefield said
with the pending Ministry ap-
proval of the Brewar property (53
acres op part lot 24, con. four of
Morris Township which the
Authority expects to get for
$9,000), the Authority this year
acquired some 35412 acres and
now has a total land holding of
1,903 acres excluding the 849
acres under agreement with the
Ministry of Natural Resources,
."We have told that this
Authority continues to tnrchase
land at the fewest price of any
Authority in'.the, 'r ion. r..
Murray said. 'This is one phase'
of our program wherewe are
getting good value for our
money,"
In her y 1975 interim financial
report, Mrs. ,hiieil saia adminis-
trative expenditures will once
aggain show a deficit "although it
w ifl be considerably less than the
1974 deficit."
This year's deficit is expected
to be around $2,000 as compared
to $7.000 in 1974.
The Mackenzie Highway in the
Northwest Territories will be
approxiniately 1,050 mites long
when completed from the Alberta
