The Goderich Signal-Star, 1977-09-29, Page 2PAGE 2—.GOD RICH SIGNAL -STAR, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29,-1977 Joan Van den Broeck Rec. Bd. vacancy Joan Van den Broeck a member of the Goderich Recreation and Community Board since January 1977 submitted her resignation to'" the board that was accepted at the regular monthly meeting last Thursday. Mrs. Van den Broeck was forced to resign from the committee of council after taking up residence outside the town of Goderich. Members of council and their committees must either reside or owwn property within the town. Members of The Recreation board decided to ask council for an immediate reap- pointment to the board to fill the vacancy. The ap- pointment will likely be made from a list of interested persons who submitted their names for possible com- mittee appointments at the beginning of the year. The , board had hoped to have the v acancy filled before their next meeting in October since Mrs.. Van den Broeck also served on the pool sub -committee. She also serves on the Huron Historic Jail Eoard, the Goderich Architectural Conservancy Advisory Committee and the Goderich' and District Association for the Mentally retarded. Committee formed.... County approves finances for Exeter hospital board South Huron Hospital in Exeter has received the approval of Huron County Council to proceed with building plans and to expect financial support from the county of up to 25 per cent of provincial approved costs, to a maximum of $150,000. The original hospital which was a house constructed in 1856 will be removed to make way fora new emergency and out-patients facility. The projected cost for the project is $598.000 and the hospital board has expressed con- fidence the building costs will not exceed that amount. The hospital already has a fund of between $425,000 and $450,000 for the work,. The addition to South Huron Hospital will proceed under Ontario Regulation 61,1977 which means the province will have no financial share in the building. ThekSouth Huron Hospital Board has to make a specific commitment as well, that no additional operating costs will result from the building program. The Social Services com- mittee is expecting to be well over budget by the end of 1977. Due to continued high unemployment and increased rates in most areas of the social services department, the financial report for the period ending July 31, 1977 shows expenditure of $230,320.85 or about $10,000 over budget. "It is expected this trend will continue for the balance of 1977," said Chairman J. R. Hunking. The administrator of Huronview was authorized to participate in an Outreach Program, operated by the Huron Committee for the Home Bound to provide day care for the elderly. The program will be financed by the Province of -Ontario for a two-year period. The Huronview van will be used as required, and meals will be provided at a reasonable cost. All costs will be recovered from the Outreach group. About 300 in Huron County could be potential users of this service, according to Mrs. Betty Cardno of Seaforth, a member of the committee. ._. Huron County Pioneer Museum will receive a gift from the Royal, Canadian Legion Branch 109, Goderich. That gift will be the Sherman Tank 78901 presently located at the Goderich airport. The tank and a Lancaster bomber made up a Legion display at the Goderich airport, and at one time were open to free inspection by visitors. However, it became increasingly difficult to protect the display from vandals and this year the bomber was sold and removed from the area, The Huron County property committee will -work with the Goderich Legion members to incorporate their suggestions into the new museum exhibit and a plaque will be unveiled next year. In other business, council agreed to file no objections to a proposal to designate the former Huron County jail and Council rejected increasedspeed Huron County Council did not accept a proposal of the County of Middlesex to in- crease the speed limit- on County Road 5 from Highway 4 to Highway 81 from 80 km -h (50 m.p.h.) to 90 km -h (56 m.p.h.). According to the road committee, who recom- mended the . proposal be rejected, the speed limit on County Road 5 should con- form with the speed limits on Highway 4 and Highway 81. It was pointed out by Reeve Bill Morley of Usborne Township that when people from his part of Huron County go into London, they often use Highbury Ave. in Middlesex County where the speed limit remains at 60 m.p.h. According to Morley, this is advantageous "if you're a little behind time". Ed Oddleifson of Bayfield cautioned Morley that just because the signs have never been changed, drivers do not have the right to travel at that speed. He said he'd been caught for speeding in Middlesex. Engineer Robert Dempsey said Middlesex is one county in this part' of the province where the speed signs have not been changed, and he suspected it was just a temporary delay. Some counties, he said, had not istri.ct An Ontario .

About 400 speed limit signs were changed at a cost of about $10,000. This work is subsidized by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications. The county council did not concur with a resolution from the Regional Municipality of Durham requesting ad- ditional financing from MTC on a "per sign basis" for metric conversion.
