Dr. Gary Davidson of the Huron County Planning Department appeared before council at their Sept. 28 meeting to explain the nature of the proposed changes to council. "What is being delegated is authority for what are considered to be administrative functions by the ministry," said Davidson. Authority for subdivisions, con- dominiums, part lot control, road closing and zoning comments are the area which would be affected by the changes, he said. The proposal would simply drop one step, the study and recommendations on these matters by the ministry, leaving final deci- sions on the matter up to county council. In some cases, the changes would eliminate provincial involvement at more than one stage. For example, under the current pro- cedure the following steps are needed for a road closing : local bylaw, to province, pro- vince.to county, planning report, country recommendation, provincial decision. The new forat would require only three steps: local bylaw, planning report, county decision. Davidson said the new procedures would not undermine the local municipalities control over these matters, because the local municipality must initiate steps to get such procedures underway. It simply" means the decision process ends with the county, rather than moving on to the pro- - vincial level. . • Colborne Christmas Country Fair is on The annual Colborne Township Christmas Country Fair, a display and sale of local arts and crafts, began today at the Saltford Valley Hall. Billed as "The Original Western Ontario Craft Show to Promote Craftsmen and a Community," the show features the work of both local and regional arts and crafts specialists. The event will run on three dates: Wednesday, Oct. 21, from 10 -a.m. to 9 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 24, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sunday, Oct. 24—from noon to 5 p.m. Among the featured crafts this year will be tole art, woolen toys, macrame, creative mirrors, silk flower ar- rangements, pressed wildflowers, stained glass, leather • work, knitting, weaving, twine mats jewellry and others. Fresh baking and produce will also be available. "It does not take away any of the rights the municipalities now enjoy," he said. Enormous time savings would be involv- ed, said Davidson. "Most approvals take about a year (to go through the current chain). and nine months of that is taken up by the pro- vince,", he said. Councillor John Stringer asked David- son if the 'decentralization," of decision making might not mean "increased staff and expanded bureaucracy." at the county level, leading to •'additional cost to the taxpayer, "We're geared up to do them now, so I don't see the need for any more staff to handle it," Davisdon replied. The Town of Exeter, which has tried to distance itself from the county planning department in the past, sent a letter outlin- ing their objection to the proposal to coun- cil. This letter was also referred to the Ad- ministration and Personnel Committee for consideration. Advance payment made to HCBE Huron County Board of Education's in- surers presented an advance payment of $500,000 to Superintendent of Operations Paul Carroll at the October meeting of the board in Clinton to cover restoration and redecoration of two county schools after they were damaged by fire late last summer. Representatives of the Frank Cowan Company also advised the board provisions have been made to set aside $1.7 million for cleanup and repairs to Exeter Public School and Usborne Central School near Exeter. No firm estimate .of total damages to the schools was given, however. The hoard learned that six primary classrooms and the gymnasium at Exeter Public School will be, occupied again by Oc- tober 16. The library and staff room will be in use again about 10 days later. It is not known just how long it will be before the remainder of the Exeter school is restored and ready for use by the students. Much of the work has included cleaning and deodorizing 'salvaged books and equip- ment. All desks at Exeter school with the ex- ception of those in one classroom, were salvaged and must be cleaned and deodoriz- ed before refinishing. Texts and library books have their covers removed and their edges shaved to remove the portions most damaged by fire, smoke and water, and after the deodorizing pro- cess are rebound in new covers. At Usborne school, all the cleaning and deodorizing has been completed. • It is ex- pected the contractor will be completely finished with repairs and all the students will be back in the school within a few weeks. Developer requests cost-sharing Plaza One Development Corporation, which is constructing a 1,000 square foot retail plaza on Victoria Street, has asked the town of Goderich to pay 50 per cent of the cost of a new sidewalk being installed on Brock Street. The sidewalk is being installed on town property at the north end of the plaza bordering on Brock Street. The company is already installing a -new curb and gutter along the street and has asked the council to re-imburse them for at least 50 per cent of the combined cost of curb, gutter and sidewalk. The cost of the sidewalk is roughly $4,000 , the curb and gutter cost is roughly $3,000, putting the town's requested contribution at about $3,000. Council referred the matter to the Works and Property Committee at their Sept. 28 meeting. Nuclear show highlights serious threat Dear editor, and the hope for world peace.
