(photo by Dave Sykes) ppoulatip No r+sstoo, tion MITCHELL - Uncer- tainty over the fate of the Fryfogal Inn restoration - project ended last Tuesday as Perth County council, ited Lo cancel its plans to restore and expand' the , historic building on Highway 8 east of Shakespeare. The decision ended two months of speculation and , sometimes bitter infighting. The inn is jointly owned by the city of Stratford and Perth ,,County. The restoration ,project and administratidi of the inn as a tourist attraction were to be handled by the Perth County Historical Board, a body funded jointly" by the tw.p municipalities. However , Stratford withdrew from the Fryfogel project after the county decided to opt out of another board ad- ministerd project, the rehabilitation of the Minnie Thompson museum in Stratford. George Wicke, reeve of Ellice Township, con- ceded that there were no really no feasible alternatives for county council to choose from, since they were without city support and getting grant money from Wintario was questionable. Even if the ;money was still available, the county would have had to pay the city's portion of the project,, $65,000 plus a settlement for the city's shared ownership in the inn,' possibly as high as $35,000. The county would probably also have had to ospital in good finances BY DAVE SYKES The financial statement presented by the chartered accountant firm of Durst, Vodden and Bender at the Hospital Board annual meeting Monday was comparitively good. The audit of the finances to March 31, 1980 revealed that the net expenditure for the year was $4,144 less than the budget approved by the Ministry of Health.- There was an operating deficit of $42,312 that consists of $71,598 in in- terest and depreciation on buildings and. equipment that the Ministry does not recognize over the hospital's Share of charges for priva:e and semi -private accomodation, chronic car, - and abulance services of $29,286. The total expenditure for the year was $4.3 million, representing a five per cent increase over the previous year. Seventy -bye per cent of the operating expenditure , went for staff salaries and benefits. Claims to the Ministry of Health for Ontario Hospital Insurance Plan insured services made , up 95 per cent of the total expenditures. The per diem rate for in. -patient ward care went from $124 from $121 which was a result of restricting cost increases to five p-er cent. Total patient days exceeded the budget by 12 per cent and were up by eight per cent over theprevious year. • During the year the new linen storage facility was completed at a cost of $154,000 and other capital fund expenditures included; building and service equipment alterations at a cost of $13,647 ; costs of $11',213 for the proposed psychiatric unit and $26,230 for equipment purchases. Of that $205,090 total the Ministry of 'Health suppli-ed $100,694 arid municipal funding amounted to $55,887.

Vote to strike KINCARDINE - Bruce County Secondary Sthool teachers d sayy, they will make use of a sanction vote only if the board of education continues in its refusal of the last 15 months to discuss•P working conditions at the bargaining table. Recently, the teachers voted 87 per cent in favor of rejection the board's final offer and 86 per cent in favor of striking. .The board's offer proposed a, seven per cent e. _ f4te..of historic inn izu reale in each year of a two year contract. The offer contained 1. no mention of working conditions and altered a sick leavie. gratuity clause'. which has been in the contract for -several years. Margaret- Wilson, chairman of the teachers' negoti,atinlg team said, "Our request is reasonable, we are not asking for anythingthat is not commonplace in the majority of contracts through the province, including the neighboring counties of Huron, Wellington, Duffer in and Grey."

The Kelly -Lyn tender must now be approved by the Ministry of Health but administrator, Elmer Taylor, doesn't aniticipate any problems or delays with that approval.

The building will contain 20 -patient units as ln'eli as offices. The second floor of the hospital will contain. therapy rooms and offices.
