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 Regarding the, programs., VOW, chairman said, "We have a lot on paper;' w'e,ve had one ,stud y , aft 'anothert no but as ye oetion. out, Testier* ,ais. 'What happens e ? ." 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" Xn the pro o land acq, `►si- ti�ott pr am. fur 1976, 0, was budgeted' for. the Saratoga, Swam, mow for the GoderiCh floodplain, . $25,000 for the Mani)* Poplar swamp, $20,000 for the takelet Lake area, PPA for the enlargement of the Gal= braith conservation area . and $20,000 for the enlargement`of the Morris Bill forest tract. - 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.
