some things we need we're not
getting."
It was pointed out to Reeve
Elston by Medical Officer of
Health, Dr. Frank Mills that the
provincial costs are soaring for
medical care of young pregnant
women. He said family planning
services are designed to prevent
ever-increasing costly incidences
across Ontario.
Plumbing and Environment has
increased in cost from $44,500
in 1975 to $75,500. This depart-
ment is subsidized by the govern-
ment to the tune of $21,750.
Inspection fees will bring in
another estimated $33,750.
Direct cost to the Huron County
ratepayers will be $20,000.
The Children's Aid Society
budget shows the results of sev-
ere government cutbacks. The
province will this year pay
$341,898 toward a total budget
of $439,775. Last year, Ontario
provided $321,246 of a total bud-
get of $405,092. The county this
year will kick in $ 97,877 as op-
posed to $77,904. In other words,
both the county and the province
are adding about another $20,000
each.
Salaries and employee benefits
are up but office expenses, train-
ing and conference expenses as
well, travel allowances are down,
It is understood the CAS budget
was "cut to the bone" and ac-
cording to Bruce Heath, director,
every effort will be made to prov-
ide service equal to that provided
in previous years.
Social services too, have been
hard hit. The county this year
will actually pay more toward
social services while the province
will pay less. Huron will cont-
ribute $103,550 this year, $2,
575 more than last year. The
province will pay $378,200 -
$8,100 less than last year.
General assistance is expect-
ed to cost $283,900 in 1976 -
$7,700 more than last year's
figures of $276,200. Payments
for citizens in nursing homes will
drop drastically from $21,000
in 1975 to $1,000 in 1976. Supple-
mentary aid will also be down
from $12,000 in 1975 to $9,600
this year. Special assistance -
drugs, surgical supplies, moving,
funerals, dental, optical, vocat-
ional training etc. - will drop
from $13,500 in 1975 to $11,400
in 1976.
The planning department exp-
enditures will rise sharply -
from $93,690 in 1975 to $137,
800 in 1976. But Huron rate-
payers will pay only $1,360 more
in 1976 - $88,100 instead of
$86,740. The bulk of the inc-
rease will come from provinc-
ially funded community study
grants - worth $42,500 in 1976.
The biggest increase in costs
is for an additional staff member
plus salary hikes for present
staff. Printing costs (for plans
etc) will rise from $4,500 to $17,
100.
Land division costs are down
-from $46,250 in 1975 to $41,000
this year. Library costs have inc-
reased from $261,800 to $301,
250. The County of Huron will
provide $188,278 and the prov-
ince will' pay $107,172. Salaries
are up as are employee benefits,
books, supplies, telephone and
rents for libraries across the
county.
Salaries account for the lion's
share of the increase in museum
expenses, up from $62,350 in
1975 to $66,000 in 1976. Salaries
also seem to be the reason for
the increase in the reforestation
budget, up a nominal $100 to
57,000.:;e1 ries also have caused
the rise in the development
budget, up to $42,700 from $40,
300 Last year.
