Increase Salary Of
Health Unit Head
The salaries of Huron County
Health Unit employees carne
under county council's scrutiny
Friday afternoon and there was
some discussion concerning the
raises proposed by the board of
health.
Medical officer of health Dr.
G, P,A, Evans will receive a
$3, 000 per annum hike bringing
his salary to $23, 000. Some
councillors took exception to
this and asked why Dr. Evans
rated such a large increase all
at once, while some of the low-
er salaried staff were taking a
much smaller raise.
"It seems to me that's making
the rich richer and poor poorer, "
stated Reeve Allan Campbell,
McKillop.
Chairman of the board, Wilmer
Cuthill, Seaforth, told council
the board had reached this agree-
ment with Dr. Evans after ser-
ious discussions. The doctor
maintained, said Cuthill, that
his colleagues in this area are
making between $30, 000 and
$50, 000 annually in private
practices.
It was also pointed out that
certain members of the Huron
County Board of Education with
no more qualifications than Dr.
Evans are earning considerably
more than $23, 000 per year.
Public health doctors are not
easily found either, it was •
explained, and the county was
interested in keeping Dr. Evans
on staff for sometime to come.
"I'rn not in favor of releasing
a man experienced in Huron
County and then hiring somebody
new for the same salary or more,
said the warden.
Supervisor of Public Health
Nurses Mrs. C,M, Elias will
receive $8, 560 up from $8. 000
this year. Salaries for the rest
of the nursing staff range from $et
700 to $7, 000. for public health
nurses, $6, 225 for a registered
nurse. $4, 400 for a registered
nurses assistant and $24.50 to
$26.50 per day for part-time
staff,
William Empey, Chief Public
Health inspector was raised from
$8, 000. per annum to $8, 560
James Pinder and John Kerwin
will each receive $7, 500 per ann,
urn with Richard Dodds earning
$6, 500.
The board of health sought
approval to engage a non-public
health inspector to carry out
plumbing inspectirmns plus nec-
essary inspections to septic tanks
and tile bed installations pro-
vided the latter two items were
under the supervision of a public
health insiector or to hire an-
other public health inspector in
1970.
Following much discussion
council gave approval to hire
another public health inspector
because it was felt that this
person could carry out plumbing
inspections in addition to other
regular work.
When asked what the public
health inspectors actually do to
keep themselves so busy, Wil-
mer Cuthill and Roy B. Cousins
told council these inspectors
carry out regular inspections on
dairy farms, in eating establish-
ments, in food processing plants
etc.
