The staff at H`uronview set
a good example `during in-
flated times. When it became
evident that Huronview's
budget would have to be
tightened to accommodate
the government's an-
nouncement that only . a 51/2`
percent hike would be ap-
proved in 1976, administrator
Chester •Archibald was
pleasantly surprised when
some members of his staff
came to him with the
suggestion that the cost of
meals for workers at the,
home be doubled from 50c,
thereby increasing revenues
from meals $10,000 over one
year.. •
Huron County Council took
its role seriously at their'last
meeting. When Warden Jack
McCutcheon asked coun-
cillors Friday at the March
session" in Goderich if they
were ready `to accept
responsibility for the
reduction of health care costs
in the county shoutd the
government empower them.
to - do so, few members
declined.
The Goderich Community
and Recreation board
decided Tuesday night to
eliminate summer day camps
and playgrounds' from their
1976 program in an effort to
trim their budget for the
year. The two children's
activities were hardest hit in
a budget slash that dropped
about $8,000 from the list of
1976 expenses to - cut the
year's increase" from 23.8
percent to 12.5 percent.
At the ' Huron County
Council meeting; held to
determine the 1976 budget, an
• expense increase ' bf 13:7
percent was announced for
the year. However; as a
bright spot on the picture, the
levy will be thesam.e for the
taxpayer.
Although the county was
not raising any more funds
last year, , s`ome
municipalities faced in-
creases in their countyy ap-
portionment for 1976. At the
same time, some willhave a
pleasant reduction and it •is
all because of a belief that
people services should be
paid for kLry the people who use
them,'
