The hospital has been operating at 95 per cent occupancy ,which has "increased costs, and the nursing staff has been without a contract since October 1, 1980. While the Ontario Nurses Association contract is at arbitration, the settlement, when it comes, will involve a large cash outlay for retroac- tivepay. Hospital administrator, Elmer Taylor has projected that the budget will be balanced at the end of the fiscal year but it does hinge on the ONA con- tract settlement. The.Ministry of Health has provided additional funding to cover the cost of the contract settlement, but there is no guarantee it will adequately cover the settlement. At August 31, the board was over budget by $42,357 but Taylor's projection called for a balanced budget by the end of the'fiscalyear. The Ministry of Health has already forwarded additional funding to the board, two instalments of $62,489 and $153,494, for 1981-82 operating costs. But, Taylor cautioned, if the contract settlement is larger than expected, the board would have to pick up costs elsewhere. "Without extra funding salaries could take us over and the budget was not designed for 95 per cent oc- cupancy," he said. "The budget is geared to oc- cupancy of 85 per cent." Dr. Michael Conlon said the occupancy rate is much higher than expected and expressed hope that the .Ministry would recognize the dilemma of the board. "We are 10 per cent over what we anticipated and will need an extra $40,000 to $50,000," he said. "I hope the ministry will recognize this because no hospital should run at 95 per cent occupancy. If you run 10 per cent over you have to pay. While the ministry has made across the board payments to cover the nurse's contract, ONA is negotiating with • the Employee Relations Policy Committee, who bargain on behalf of the hospitals. The board can only hope the budget can ac- cemmoclate the settlement. "It may be close or it may not be, but the board's position is to balance the budget," Taylor said. "If more money is needed we may have to make decisions to cut services. The cost of the nurse's contract is pure speculation at this point, but the 95 per cent occupancy rate is leading to increased costs in every department+,of the hospital. "The 95 per cent occupancy rate increases costs in every department and for the last three years there has been a 10 per cent increase each year," Taylor said. "The hospital just can't handle any more." The board may receive some additional funding from the ministry because of the increased workload, and application has already been made. The board should know by next month if the ministry is willing to help out because of the increased work load. Railroad employee dies at age 70 ROSS ALTON MILLS Ross .

The Supreme Court has ruled that the Constitution is legal, and that the Liberal government can bring the B.N.A. Act home to Canada, with an amending formula and a Charter of Rights, legally, without a majori- ty vote from the provinces. I believe that this is a steel, reinforced with concrete foun- dation foranarchy. Because such a condition is taking place, there must be an existing discrepancy in our laws, to permit such a condition to become a reality. If they proceed with this plan, in my opinion, it will be in direct opposition to democratic principles.. It also conflicts strongly with the existing Constitution, which is still in force to the best of my knowledge, and is also legitimate. Has the work of our Fathers of Confedera- tion been entirely in vain? I would like to stress the fact that when the Constitution was put in trust with the British Parliament, it was a unanimous decision by the Pro- vinces and Ottawa, and any amendments that have been made to the existing. Con- stitution since. have not been refused when accompanied by a majority vote. To bring this Constitution back to Canada without a similar unity between Ottawa and the Provinces, would be a breaking of that trust. I believe that the decision of the Supreme Court, which was not precise in its ruling, puts the public back in a similar posi- tion before their decision was made. It has been said that if you want a job done, do it yourself, then you only have yourself to blame, if it goes awry. A referen- dum would settle it once and for all. They , tried polities, and the legal profession, and the only other choice is the people. I think, their time would be much better served if they concentrated on the economy of the country first, instead of • the Con- stitution. We built a railroad from one end of Canada to the other, .with the existing Con- stitution. Surely we should be able to iron, out the economy. Sincerely, N. J. Minaker. You have plans.
