Smith, Elgin Thompson, and Roy Westcott. Those opposed to the bud- get and in favour of deficit financing were Wilmer Cut- hill, John Flannery, Elmer Hayter, W. R. Jenkins, Alex McGregor, Everett Mcllwain, Ansom McKinley, Gervin Reed, Harold Robinson, Walter Sheardown (2) Charles Thomas, H. Wild, and Harry Worsell (2). In connection with the bud- get McKinley drew attention to Huron's disappointment that the county will receive only a 50 percent grant of health unit expenses when a 75 percent grant had been ex- pected at the time the health budget was approved. Perth County has qualified for the 75 percent grant. "I don't think were are getting a square deal", Mc- Kinley observed. "Perhaps we should scale down expend - BROWNIE'S DRIVE-IN THEATRE CLINTON Box Office Opens at 8.00 p.m. FIRST SHOW AT DUSK FRI. -- SAT. -- SUN.

That would be a backward step but not as backward as the decision of the provincial government." McKinley reported a letter had been forwarded to Dr. Mathew Dymond regarding the matter and council had been in touch with Hon. C. S. McNaughton, provincial treasurer. Exeter Reeve Derry Boyle said the province had given Huron an opportunity to get in on the 75 percent grant, but Huron turned it down when they did not amalgamate with Perth County for health purposes. "We didn't turn down a 75 percent grant", retorted McKinley. "We turned down amalgamation. We are be- ing refused the grant because we didn't do as we were told". In his budget report, clerk treasurer John Berry said he would like to see a "much closer relationship and plann- ing program between the provincial government and the local municipalities". Said Berry, " I feel a prime example of this lack of planning has been in the takeover of the assessment departments. If we at the local level are going to work towards a better mun- icipal government for our area, then we must have the co-operation and trust of the Provincial authorities in planning and preparing for our future." , In a report of the special committee on regional govern nent, Chairman Frank McFadden of Bayfield, said that in two meetings with representatives of the provincial government, there had been "not much by way of guidelines". "It is time we got off our apathy and get a few ideas of our own", added Mc- Fadden. His committee Free Roller Skating • Airtiturk ON �e_ SUNDAY NIGHT, MAY 4 AT THE ZURIC AREr, 8 to 11 P.M. ZURICH CITIZENS NEWS is sending a questionnaire to all local municipalities and requesting their ideas and suggestions for better government for the people of Huron. "We're in a listening snood", interjected Warden Hayter. In the meantime, a brief was submitted to the Hon. W. Darcy McKeough, Min- ister of Municipal Affairs, when council was in Toronto March 26. Three main points were stressed in the brief: the future of the assessment department and the use of the administrative buildings; a definite plan for establish- ing regional government in Huron as to area, popu- lation and timing for change; and the possibility of Huron becoming a region unto itself with legislative authority to properly carry out the functions of regional government. The brief was well received, council rioted.
