County council last_ week agreed with a recom- mendation by the executive committee that the budget be sent back to committee for review, with the direction that it be reduced by about $200,000. The executive committee had one of two choice, Goderich Deputy Reeve Bob Allen explained: either to drastically increase . the county apportionment col- lected from municipalities, or to cut somewhere in the budgets. Since the roads depart- ment had overrun its budget last year by more than half a million dollars, the com- mittee felt that is the place to cut, he said. The recommendation was accepted, however some - councillors warned against trying to trim too much from the roads budget and falling behind on construction and Cassidy to attend luncheon Michael Cassidy, leader of the Ontario New Democratic Party, will attend a luncheon in Lucknow next Tuesday, March 10, local organizers hat imounced.

Reeve Lloyd Mousseau, roads committee chairman, said his com- mittee will try to reduce its spending requirements from a 27 per cent increase to an increase of 14 or 1412 per cent this year. This would trim the budget by about $150.000. He proposed accomplish- ing this by taking out of the budget the paving of County Road 11, which had been Davis will, visit Wingham emier William Davis is to be in Wingham this week as part of a campaign swing through southwestern.

With the Huron -Bruce riding up for grabs in this election, all three leaders will be making campaign appearances here. Liberal Leader 'Stuart Smith was in Lucknow for the Liberal nomination meeting Feb: 17, while NDP Leader Michael Cassidy is scheduled to appear at a luncheon in Lucknow next Tuesday, March 10. slated for this year, and instead resurfacing County Road 20. Construction' also would be completed on the southern end of Road 11. However he warned against taking too much from 'the roads budget, "or we'll put ourselves in more trouble than we're in now,” as • the roads would deteriorate. Usborne Reeve Murray D'awson asked for a commit- ment that Road 11 would be paved in 1982, and was assured by Bob Dempsey, the county engineer, that it definitely will be put into next year's budget. Mr. Mousseau recom- mended that next year's roads committee keep very close track cif what it costs to pave that road„ since he would be interested in knowing what it cost the county to wait a year. He has heard the cost of paving is going to escalate "something out of this world", he told council The county finished last year with a $519,194 deficit on its roads budget, largely as a result of two projects. Construction of County Road 11, which had been budgeted at $281,000, actually . cost about $584,000, since the committee decided to do more than had been planned, in. order to take advantage of good weather and mailable Deer dies following leap into bank window The Toronto Dominion Bank in Wingham had an unexpected customer shortly before noon Sunday, when a young deer ran 'through- a glass panel on the John Street side of the building. Bill Bauer, an eyewitness to the incident, explained that the animal ran from behind Brophy Bros., crossed John Street and ran head-on through the glass. The deer, which suffered a severed neck, died within a few minutes. It Was reported that before the incident, the animal was running frantically on Edward and Patrick streets. • contest SatUrday.

Construction of the new Auburn garage ended up costing about $300,000 more , than had been budgeted, since ' the original estimate ' did not include the cost of - buying the land or some additional relocation costs. Mr. Dawson suggested that in future the county should ctonsider debenturing capital costs such as the \ garage, so they don't eat into road construction and maintenance, ...however this was rejected. . The county rate " in the proposed 1981 roads budget rose by 27 per cent to $1.6 million in a total budget of $3.9 million. The budget will come back before the full council at its budget meeting later this month. The auditor's report for 1980 shows the county. finished the year with a net deficit of $504,150 on total spending • of $10.7 million. The highway deficit was $519,194, while there was a surplus, of $15,044 in general accounts. Three charged MO break-ins at schooi Two men and a juvenile from Bruce County have been charged in connection with break-ins at the East Wawanosh Public School late last month, during which money and school equipment were taken.

A warrant also has been issued for the arrest of Gary Sayer, 19, of Lucknow Sgt.

Most of the property has since been recovered, Mr. Verner and the juvenile were apprehended on the afternoon of Feb. 22 when Const.

Public meeting set for pion amendment A public meeting has been set for March 25 to review a proposed amendment , to Wingham's official plan. The amendment is in- tended to bring the official plan, approved in 1968, into conformity with the town zoning bylaw passed six years later. Planner Gary Davidson explained that the problem of non -conformity in some areas of the plan arose due to changes which -occurred' during the • intervening years. There are a total of 11 land use designation changes required, covering aboult 2.Irk sites. Mr. Davidson noted, that at the time the zoning bylaw was passed, there were many areas in which it did • not conform to the official plan.
