"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. 0 Hensall Council Hear ARCA (continued from page 6) cost $10, 000, they should not need any more room. He was very critical of the Fire Chief due to the fact he had construct- ed a temporary partition in the vicinity of the P, TJ, C, water tank in the Town Hall.
