The. maintenance, administrative and development sub corn- - mittees brought itemized budgets, to the last airport meeting to make final additions and deletions before taking their suggestions to council. '" Maintenance for the recently acquired municipal airport. will receive the lion's share of _the budget. Slightly over two thirds, $21,000, will be spent 'on runways, parking lots, buildings and equipment the committee feels is in desperate need of repair. Three major projects the maintenance committee plans to take on in 1975 are a new gas pump island with new pumps and tanks, the leveling of a gravel pit on the airport property and fencing for the perimeter of the Sky Harbor . , property. The pump island for the refUelling depot • .will be upgraded, ft,.- a result of nu mer4us suggestions from plane owners and the airport' manager Doug Hunter. The island now ebnsists of, one usable pump and one that, is out of order and is surrounded by a gravel hase that forces,. pilots to push their craft to and from the_ site to prevent propeller damage from flying., gravel.

Both are Liberal members. The new bill would see voters in Tuckersmith and Seaforth returned to the Huron Riding, after objections were raised over' a report last December that placed Tuckersmith and Seaforth in the Huron- Bruce Riding. The Huron Riding will lose Lobo Township and Strathroy from its Southern end. They will be added to Middlesex. • The new Huron -Middlesex will. include' th.e' ToWns of G oderi eh, -Clintern,-Seaforth, Exeter, and the Huron County Townships of Gode ich, Stanley, Tuckersmith, Stephen. ,„ and Usborne; t , Middlesex Townships o Adelaide, Biddulph, East .Williams, McGillivery, and West Williams and the Towns of Parkhill, Ailsa Craig, and Lucan. The' remainder of Huron County, including Blyth, • Wingham and the Townships of. McKillop, Hullett, Colborne, Ashfield, East and West Wawanosh, Grey, Howick, Morris, Turnberry and Brussels will be in Huron -Bruce Riding. Jack Riddell, the Liberal member of Huron -Middlesex, may be running against the present Conservative Agriculture Minister, Bill Stewart, who loses his riding, partially to Middlesex and partially to Huron.

Mr. . Gaunt, Liberal Agricultural critic, said the line could . go' through a northern area and -then swing downto Kitchener and, 'Georgetown without disturbing as much prime farmland. A second nuclear plant will .likely be built on Lake Huron if the Seaforth line goes through, he said. Ontario Hydro has been considering a nuclear" power generating station in the Goderich area. Hyd-ro,plans should be closely watched as the publid. dor- 'poration 'will have about three. billion dollars per year for ,capital spending every year for the next eight years, Mr. Guant said. Most of the money will come from New York markets. Grey Bruce MPP Eddie Sargent, also at the meeting, said Hydro doesn't need another nuclear power generating station. Ife predicted solar" energy will provide about 30 percent of power needs within the next feW years. He criticised Hydro spending. as being for the establishment and against the interests of. agriculture. Perhaps farmers ' could get together and buy out the big packers as a step to gaining some power, he suggested. "You've been nice guys too long." Free enterpnze....

He had indicated last year that he would not seek re- election. The changes in the electoral boundaries was an effort by d three-man commission to make the ridings more equitable in the _province. _The Cotb mi ss ion consisted of Mr.' Justice Campbell Grant of London, Legislature Clerk Roderick Lewis, and University r of. Western Ontario professor Robert Sansom. ,The commissions' final report, which was tabled in the Legislature on' Tuesday, in- creases the number of seats from 117 to 125.

The new pumps will cost the committee $1,500 each and the, underground storage tank. 83,500, Paving the pump island is the most expensive portion of the project, costing the municipality $2,200. Fencing for the perimeter of the airport property was reduced drastically by the committee to enable them to stay within their $30,000 ccin- fine. The original cost for the fence was $14,977 but this figure was cut by more than half by maintenance chairman Dave' Gower, The cost for fencing at - the airport for 1975 will 'amount to$4,500, - The main parking lot at the airport will be graded and marked with curbstones and will receive a coating of gravel, The lot described by Dave Gower as -a-sea of mu'4-will ...cost_$1,360.to upgrade - The other area of the airport to receive special attention is the main runway. In an earlier manager' s report, Doug Hunter told .the comMittee that the runway was deteriorating.and should be examined by an asphalt expert to determine its life.

Sundry supplies purchased throughout 1975 will amount to $960, this amount based on last year's figures. The million dollar insurance policy pur- chased last month for Sky Harbor amounted to $750. Other costs taken on by the ad- ministirative committee are employee benefits, sign painting (8700), advertising, hydro and auditing costs. DEVELOPMENT The development-committee,faced with annual costs required to operate the an -0V, has been- allotted $1,5000 to cover expenses encountered for mileage, terephone Sails or meetings attended by the members. The, ,three man board originally requested only $500 but this . figure was increased. when the 'developmental requirements were established. The committee is hopeful that meetings with government officials can be arranged riori regardag new proposals for the airport. The meetings would be called to discuss regulations required by the government as well as grants available for the projects. To discuss grants plans drawn up by architects necessary and these would be obtained , through the, development budget. • Meetings to tdlk over current facilities at the airport have already been planned by the committee.
