The budget also projects that building permits will be down $2,355 from last year's figure of $5,355. Clerk Lear 'said that council was not looking for as much building this year, mainly because of 'the economy, "People just aren't building the way they were." The sale of gravel and wood by the township was projected to be down. $2,7$4 from last year's revenue of $4,284. Clerk Lear said that there won't be any -sale of wood . this year because the • property they took the wood from has been thinned out enough. The sale of gravel was also expected to decline because the township is not drawing anymore gravel from the main pit they used last year. They will be developing one in the southern section of the township instead. Etpenditures in the township' are budgeted to increase $51,412to $587,310 from last year's figure of $535,898. The, township's.. largest expenditure is in the area of environmental services; where they have budgeted $25,000 for the shared cost of purchasing additional land for the Blyth-Hullett Waste Disposal Site. Their share of maintaining the dump also increased when they agreed to pay 65 per cent of the operating expenses. The 1984 budget revealed that Hullett Township will be budgeting an extra $1,764 to • a total of $6;000 for .the expenses. Last year the township spent . $4,236 on dump operating Management expertise. You have it with...

Council administration is budgeted to increase $14,112, from last year's figure of $45,888 to $60,000. Clerk Lear explained that with the five per cent. increase in township employee's wages and the increased cost of advertising and printing, the budget increased. "Each year it gets worse. But we're not prepared to use all of it ($60,000)," he noted. The reserve for working funds increased $10,000 over 1983 to $30,000. The clerk said that council wanted to:increase the reserve fund because there is the possibility that the township's $30,000 support grant from the provincial government will be phased out. The township's fire budget is projected to decrease $7,682 from last year's expenditure of $47,682. This year the township isn't going to be faced with large capital expenditures for the Seaforth and District Fire Hall and the Blyth Fire Track. Clerk Lear added that it's projected that fire calls will increase; based on last year's figures. This year the township budgeted $46,000 for winter control. This figure is up $29,090, from last year's $16,910 costs. The mild winter, Huron County experienced in 1982-83 was the reason for the difference in the. figures. Planning and development expenditures are budgeted to rise in, the area of planning. The budgeted figure is $5,000, up from last year's actual figure of $3,376. Clerk Lear explained that the increase is due to,. the township's implementation of a secondary plan, which is being drawn up. • sive— l, CANADA DAY ,HOLIDAY HOURS Clinton stores will be CLOSED MONDAY JULY 2 to observe the Canada Day Holiday
