county insurance broker.
"I'm not questioning the man';
honesty, " reported Hayter, "I
want to know if there was any
consideration given to calling in
another insurance broker so there
could be a comparison."
"Where do you get another
broker?" asked the warden.
"You'd have to go to Toronto."
"Well?" questioned Hayter.
"Is there a difference between
Toronto and Princeton?"
John Flannery, Seaforth, who
sat in the committee, told Hay-
ter
ayter that when insurance coverage
is let by tender, there is not
room for negotiations.
"That may be so, " answered
Hayter, "but we have been very
critical of the board of education
in Huron County. Yet the board
of education members tendered
for the insurance coverage they
purchased and it has been report-
ed they saved $22, 000. of the
taxpayers' money by doing so.
Can we not go out and get a
price, and show the ratepayers in
Huron that we have at least tried
to get them a better deal? How
can we go back to our ratepayers
and tell them we were not mak-
ing an effort to lower insurance
rate costs?"
Insurance premiums in Huron
County this year totalled $21, 661
While additional coverage has
been purchased on the new pol-
icies, it is expected the costs
will remain about the same
since the county's insurance ag-
ents will not be getting a com-
mission beginning this year. It
was estimated this will reduce
the cost of county insurance
premiums in Huron by about 14
percent.
Three Candidates
In Race For
Huron Warden
The Huron County councillors
announced Friday afternoon in
the regular session of county
council that they will be cand-
idates for the wardership in
1971.
They were reeves, Jack Alex-
ander, Wingham; Hugh Flynn,
Hullett; and Elmer Hayter,
Stanley.
Alexander, a merchant, has
spent six years on county council
and has served as chairman of
both the Huronview board and
the executive committee. He
was also a member of the spec-
ial committee dealing with
union wages.
Reeve Alexander told council
there hasn't been a warden from
Wingharn since 1926.
"This is a time of change, "
stated Alexander. "I'm not
against change if it is progress
but I'm not for change for the
sake of change."
Reeve Elmer Hayter, a farmer,
told council only time would
tell whether or not some matters
taken over by higher levels of
administration could have been
better handled at the local level.
Hayter has served on the equal-
ization committee, the warden's
committee and for the past four
years, on the road committee
of which he is currently chair-
man.
Reeve Flynn, a farmer and
the youngest of the trio aspiring
for the warden's chair, has been
on municipal council since 1959.
He has served on four committees
Children's Aid, Agriculture,
Property and Huronview.
He claimed that some people
had opposed him on his stand
over the conservation area in
Hullett Township, but he said
he felt he wad "doing what was
right for Hallett." He urged more
people to "stand up for their
rights and not be pushed around.'
According to Reeve Flynn,
the southern area of Hullett
Township where he resides has
never had a warden elected.
