"This seems to be the only way to attempt to control this type of waste disposal," said planning board chairman Jack L. McCutcheon, Brussels.. "They create an undesirable environment for anyone in the vicinity of this kind of disposal," continued Mr. McCutcheon. "Whether they are rural or urban oriented no one can take as much as they sometimes produce in the way of odor." Hullett Township is the only township to have a restricting bylaw on open waste lagoons. Hullett Reeve John Jewitt said his council felt the bylaw was useful and helpful. Stanley Township is presently looking into passing a similar bylaw, said Warden Anson Mc- Kinley. The road committee got approval for an increase in salary for their road crew, the same increase which had been turned back to committee at the October session. The increase which amounted to about 18 percent had been authorized by the road committee on October 9, before the price and wage controls were imposed by the federal government, but council had ordered the com mittee to hold the recom- mendation until other county salaries had been reviewed and settled. Later in the day, the councillors approved an executive committee recommendation to "whole- heartedly support the Federal Anti -Inflation program endorsed by the province of Ontario, and request that all committees and boards follow the proposed policy that there be no expansion of services or new services provided in 1976." Two more University of West- ern Ontario scholarships valued at $100 each were announced: one to Charles Murray Workman and one to Elizabeth Mae Jolly. Council agreed with the Huron County Library Board that the Bayfield Brancn be open a total of 12 hours a week - not 10 hours as at present. The library in Bayfield will now be open from 10 ,o 12 a.m. on Tuesdays. Space is at a premium in the court house and the property committee is studying ways and means to provide office accom- modation for all. One suggestion has been to turn the county committee room into office space, with committee meetings to be held in the council chambers. The warden and the clerk have been asked to investigate and to make recommendations to the 1976 property committee regarding additional storage space, especially for the planning department. Mrs. Gladys Stiles, winner of the county banner design contest, has agreed to prepare a design incorporating a trillium, a maple leaf and the county crest on a blue and white background for property committee considera- tion. The Social Services Committee announced that in 1976, a visit from a Victorian Order Nurse will cost $10.90, 14.74 percent more than this year. This is over the federal government guide- lines, but the VON is a non- profit organization and will refund the county if their actual cost per visit is less than $10.90 per visit. The homemake-s received an increase too, but it was a straight 10 percent. They are presently paid $3 per hour and $3.40 per hour when travelling more than five miles. They had requested a straight $3.50 per hour plus 20 cents per mile. With the increase granted, their salary will be $3.30 per hour and $3,70 per hour when more than five miles away from base.
