son, A. D. 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 -

itures. 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

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.
