Grants for the im-

"OHRP is directly oriented to
low and moderate %income
families, with a maximum
annual income of $12,500", Mr.
Irvine said. "Goderich
Township is to be congratulated
for its initiative in moving
quickly to implement this
program, which • ensures the
continued usefulness• of needed
existing housing." ° ''�
The maximum amount of an
OHRP loan, as determined by
.,. I.46•�
the local municipality, is $7,500,
less any funding from other
home renewal program. The
municipality is also responsible
for determining the rate' of
interest charged on the loan,
from zero to eight per. cent,' and
what portion of the loan.will be
"forgiven", end therefore need
not be paid back.
OHRP extends. home renewal
possibilities to owner occupants
in any municipality in Ontario,
urban or rural, which has,
adopted either a minimum
housing standards bylaw or a
resolution setting such stan-
dards.
HURON
HISTORIC TAIL
Hit ' J'1 B d
Huron County Council vetoed
municipal re=structuring a few
weeks ago. Who knows what
might have' happened if the
`'`Tiger" had still been around.
What would he have to say
about the'municipal boundaries
that were set so longago?
The stUdy sessions of the 1975
council must have borne some
resemblance. to the struggles of
the late 1830's when Tiger
Dunlop and the other fathers of
local government fought for
local autonomy with the
Government at York. They
were challenged by the then'
Provincial Government to show
that they could earn the right to
govern their own affairs.
A government• centre, was
required, comprising a jail, a
-'court facility; and a council
chamber. Dunlop and his
cohorts accepted 'the challenge.
The result of .their efforts was
the Huron Historic Gaol. Being
. a somewhat frugal lot, and not
wanting the taxes to be too
high, they made a composite
plan..Much to the,dismay,of the
local clergy, they eliminated
the third -floor chapel from the
jail' plan, and built instead, a
combination courtroom and
council chamber.
It is thatroorn that th•e Huron
s ori ar oar wants
restore to its original,con-
dition. ` It will provide a`, •riew
focus at this propular tourist
':site and point..more clearly to
the .original purpose in having
.the building constructed.
It is a , big job, and the
research required is still
largely incomplete. The
building is giving many clues,
however. By examining the
base -boards and the floor, one
can tell the location of the
prisoners' dock, the jury's box,
and the • judge's. platform. By.
studying" the walls, the
placement of railings -and other
fixtures can be -determined.
Behindithe now -plastered walls
are the 'telltale signs of -huge
chimneys for large box stoves.
By studying other chambers of
the same period, the furniture
and furnishings can be
determined. . .
It is a big job: But itis well
worthy - of the attention and
support of Huron County today.
Our heritage is rich and varied.
Today's citizens and
tomorrow's generations will be
more aware of i.ts importance
as the work at this, historic site
and other similar ventures
throughout the old Huron Tract
proceeds.
