Dr. G. Frank Mills, Mayor, asked the
reeve if the meetings had, indeed, taken
place and the reeve replied that they had.
'We were talking abotit the best du. mp site,"
he said' and refrained from making further
comment on 'the meetings, He offered to
meet with Coun. Carroll after the meeting, to
discuss it.
"The dump situation is not a happy one,"
said ,the mayor ."and we will all agree that
something must be done, but this should not
. have been done this way. If this group wants
• to be a special committee on the matter this
can be done, but let's do it right,"
An obviously angry Cotin. Deb Shewfelt
accused the mayor of washing his hands off
the matter when he made a statement in the
'press that said as far as he. was concerned the
matter was closed (with reference to the
vote of council which refused to sign a lease
for a proposed site (one mile east of town).
"As far as I'm concerned that gave us the

School board
(continued from page one)
an office site only two weeks ago by Robert
Elliott, of Goderich Township,
vice-chairman, who said theboard could save
money by using one of Its own buildings
rather than renting space elsewhere
Following the board's approval of the site
this week, Mr. Cochrane was given
authorization to retain the architectural firm
of Paige and Steele, who designed the most
recent addition to. CRSS, to draw plans for
the renovation -needed.
It was agreed that the project will have to
be put out for tenders and it was reported
that approval of the fire marshall is needed
on changes in the building. No,• date was
given for completion..of--the° work..
The board has been using space in the
Ontario Dept.. of ,,Education_ offices in the
county courthouse at Goderich, but will
have to vacate those rooms at the end of the
month when the province will close the
office and remove furniture, according to
James Coulter, nom. an area superintendent
for the province and soon to be on the
county system payroll 'as ' ' assistant
superintendent. G
Mr. Cochrane was empowered Monday to
find• temporary accommodation. It was
suggested that CHSS can be used, if the
renovation is scheduled so that one end of
the wing is finished first. Another proposal
° was for temporary use of the nurses'
residence at Clinton Public Hospital.
Mr. Elliott provided the main arguments-
, in favor of the CHSS offices and, in brief
presented Monday; asserted that a total of
about.$25,000 can be saved over five years if
the board used the high school for offices.
After five years, the savings will increase
to $8,500 a year, he said (after renovation
• cost is paid).
Based ion a price per square ,foot, he said,
the other then that is what I am." Coun. Reg
Jewell said he supported Coun. 'Shewfelt
"one hundred percent."
The mayor replied that when he was
asked for an answer to a problem by citizens
of the town, he replies in the press. "You
cannot hold meetings this way," he said.
"You cannot meet without the consent of
council. You just cannot do it. I believe
those present who were at the meetings
realize they made a mistake and henceforth
this council will condict itself properly." He
said he would prefer 'to have no further
discussion on the matter.
You just cannot db it. f believe those
present who were at the- meetings realize

council will conduct itself properly." He said
he 'would prefer to have no further
discussion on the matter.
Coun. Frank Walkom moved that council
go into a meeting of committee of the whole
of council ".... and exclude the press." The
motion was seconded by the reeve.
The mayor said he could not agree to a
meeting in a committee that would exclude
the press. "We' have always been able to rely
on the discretion of the press in matters that
might need clarification before being made
public and I would not.lfavor excluding the
press," he said: •
Asked by the mayor if he would like to
re -phrase the motion to include the press,
Coun. Walkom said he would not"at this
time." .The motion was voted on and lost.
us keep this fact ever present in our minds
and locate in our own building in Clinton
where it is' readily seen that there is a
minimum saving of at' least $30,000 (that
I''was ' later revised downward when the
renovation estimate was higher than
expected) in a period of five years with the
Savings increasing at a rate of approximately
$8,500 in the sixth year and every year
thereafter."
In two hours ,r of . deliberation, Dan
Murphy of Goderich the secondary school
`representative of separate school ratepayers,
and Mr. Cochrane both voiced concern over
the possibility that the board may find space
it selects now is inadequate later- maybe in
six months, maybe in two or three years.
Both men said rented accommodation would
leave the board flexible.
The reply .to that argument'was that the
high school offers more than enough space
for anticipated needs of the county
'administration ih the' next`five years; and can
be reconverted to classroom use at'little or
no cost after that.
Faced with many intangible fa '"ors,'-tlie
board members , had difficulty clearly
defining advantages and disadvantages of the
potential sites. One man remarked, "I've
already changed my fnind-five time's..' I was
trying t6' -stop smoking 'wand now I just
succumbed and lit up."
In other business, Roy B: Dunlop,
business administrator, reported that budget
submissions by " last year's local school
boards ° total about $9.1 million, up more
than $900,000 over the current year's
spending.
If the submissions were all accepted, the
resulting, budget would be 11.7 per cent,
higher than the present one, he said, adding
---the-assessment-building-space is 250' per cent Tuickly that " there is an awful ,lot of work
more expensive, than the high school space, to be done on the submissions.'
which, in addition, offers 50 per cent; more He suggested that the budgets be
reviewed individually with the people who

BY SHIRLEY .1. KELLER
At Friday's session of Huron County
Council, members voted themselves a raise
of $5 per day, from $20 'to $25; an increase
to $8 ; per. clay for meal allowance while
attendin +- fonventions; a $400 per annum
increase or thewardcn-from 5 -800 -to_ -$1.200 -
and a bus trip to the Ontario Legislature for
which $600 has been budgeted.
In discussion preceding the pay raise for
.members and the warden, Reeve Clarence',
"Derry" Boyle, Exeter, told council the•.
warden received "a pretty small piece of
change as the head of a government this
size."
Warden James Hayter who had suggested
an honorarium of $1,000 for the warden,
said he • was keeping a running expense
account which would show whether or not
the warden was "making money" for his one
year of office.
Reeve Borden Cook of Blyth said,
"Anybody who gets into- municipal pohtiCs
for the money involved would soon •be
looking for a better position." Cook did
advocate a six percent 'hike for • council
members in keeping with' the six percent per
year system of salary increases for other
county employees. •
Stanley Township Deputy Reeve Anson
McKinley., said that if council had taken the
six percent raise every year since_ the last
raise five or six years ago, t per iem rate
would far exceed'$-25.per day. Oliver Jaques,
Hensall, said for a man attempting to hold
down a jo.b, he was "losing money at the
Present rate."
Warden Hay ter explained that it costs the
county about S35,000 per year for the 38
men -and women vlio serve .the county as
councillors. He noted that 'some individual
men in the county are making "almost that
much" and compared the salaries of board.
of education• members at $1.800 per annum
...to county councillors' average wage of S900
per member last year. .. -
