Planning consultants, Kit-

hensive appraisal for a plan-

Huron.
The outline submitted in.
eluded: physical features,
such as geology, physio.
graphy, and topography, soils
and land capability, climate
and natural resources.; his.
torical background; transport.

"The development plan is
meant to act as a general
guide Tor' the orderly and
logical development of an
area," Mr. Smith stated. "By
its very •eature, such a plan
is comprehensive in scope
rather than detail. It provides
the necessary larger .under-
standing of planning problem s,
the establishrnedt of a frame.
work within which to Work and
the assurance of continuity
and compatibility cl local pro.
posal s."
Mr. Smith advised that a
fulltime planning and develop'.
meet officer would be required
to implement planning pro.
posals. He estimated that the
cost of the study, analysis
and draft plan preparation, as
outlined in the appraisal,
would range between $55,000
and $60,000 spread over 18
months of the contract. Final
costs, however, could not be
fixed accurately until a
detailed programme has been
agreed upon between the
County ef Huron and the
consultants.
The report concluded: (1)
that a planning programme
is vital to the future growth

New Head Frame
Rising at Mine
The skyline at the Goderich
rock salt mine ofDorntar Chem.
teals Company is undergoing
• major change with the constrec.
tion of a second head frame.
The 90 -foot concrete head_
frame, being erected by a Tor. '
onto civil engineering firm, will
connect with the Number Two
shaft, to provide adittional
hoisting, and lowering facilitieS.
Estimated cost of the pro.
ject, which is expected to be
in operation by the end of Feb.
ruary, will be slightly more than
$500,000 according to Sift° Salt
M ne manager Gordon' Muir.
Mr. Muir stated at this same
time that the Goderich rock salt
plant had established a record
for the 1967 year in salt ship..

unusually severe winter in the
United States last year with the

area. There should be a fair
amount of justification for
establishing a planning unit.
"I think the County ofliuron
is a logical unit to undertake
a planning program as a plan.
ning area," he suggested.
Mr. Gomme stated it would
be the responsibility of the
county Council to appoint 'a
• Planning Board whose mem.
bers would require the aPpro-
val of the Minister. The Plan.
ning Board would advise the
ele)9ted Council„ but do not
have the power to decide where
such thingsns service stations
and other features, should be
located. There must be mut.
nal cooperation between Cotm..
cil and Board.
Regarding financing, Mr.
Gome stated that the Planning
Board 'determines how much
money it needs to do the job,
and then forwards the amount
to the County Council to pay.
Asked about grants, he said
there were none at present'
and no prospect • that there
would be unless special case.
He recommended strongly
that "before you proceed be
sure the time. is ripe." •
"You mayneed a Planning
Prograin here, but on the other
hand, you must consider the
whole matter carefully or per.
haps suffer in the long run."
