Reporting on the Industrial Development Corporation, Dr. Mills said some red tape was still holding: up, the corporation shares. He said the money that had been put into the corporation had been placed in a trust fund and had not. been touched. Legal and other costs would probably amount to some $3,000 and funds for this were provided through the Industrial Commission. - Shares have been printed and would be distributed as soon as the last of red tape between the corporation and, the Ontario Securities Commission was cleared- Once _this_ is' clPared, it perhaps by the end of this year, active sale of shares will begin.

The plant will start construction In the spring of Regional government 8-10 years away -MPP • Murray Gaunt, MPP for Huron -Bruce, visited county' council Friday afternoon and fielded some rather sticky'. questions from councillors. Through' it allMr Gaunt maintained he was expressing "strictly personal views" and was not toeing any party line. He told council the official plan for the county is a "good idea." He also eased council's mind with the news that, in his opinion, regional government is at least eight to 10 years away in , this part of the province. "County school boards have given the government second thoughts," he said. He did predict that when regional government does come the swing will be to regional school boards. He voiced some concern over the "continued pressure towards centralization." He said farms and businesseswere getting "bigger and fewer" and governments are getting "bigger and bigger." "When the. little man gets the feeling that all he has to do is foot the bill, then I think we are. in real trouble," said Mr. Gaunt. Wilmer Hardy, Colborne, asked Mr. Gaunt whether or not the county should be interested in a county welfare system. Mr. Gaunt told council the system would likely prove more expensive -and members -of—Ch--nstmas council would have to decide1,, whether the improved quality of light contest service would justify the extra tax dollars. • "Look well before you leap," was his advice. In the !hatter of assessment, the MPP told council that all assessment will eventually be .done on the 'basis of current market valueTwhat a willing buyer would (give to a willing seller. He predicted a substantial shift of tax load to private homes and farms because it will be easier to put a real value on private holdings than on business. "Homes and farms are sold every day," he noted. "I think there are going to be some real problems. The government has said that ,in five years yoi.r can have the assessing back. I suggest to you that in five years you won't want it back." r (1111.111.11.6$ ' Beita Theta ,Sorority 'meets: Oir November, v ii, ' 13 Swartman afflioUneed that• the 1V1,0and wilt .be In production.
