Zurich Citizens News, 1976-06-30, Page 21Grants to hospitals must be
approved by county council
As a result of a decision at
Huron County Council last
Friday, grants to hospitals in
Huron undergoing renovation
and expansion wil receive up to 25
percent of all provincial ap-
proved costs from the ratepayers
of Huron County. But tobe
eligible for the grants, all
hospital building or renovation
programs must have the written
approval of all hospital boards in
the county, and all grants will be
approved by county council on
the recommendation of the
Executive Committee,
Administrator Bill 'Han lly said
the reasoning behind the motion
was to ensure that all hospital
boards in the county were agreed
on the building priorities.
"If the hospital boards can't
decide among themselves, then
perhaps the county shouldn't be
making a donation to that ad-
dition," stated Mr. Hanley.
"It is a good change," said
Doug McNeil, reeve of Colborne
Township and chairman of
Goderich Alexandra Marine and
General Hospital Board. "As I
see it today, I'm not disapproving
of it at all. But anything can
happen, I grant you."
Reeve McNeil was referring to
a fear expressed by Exeter
Reeve Derry Boyle that "hard
feelings and difficulties for
county council" were ahead
because of the added clause in the
bylaw.
"If we're spending county
money, why should the hospital
boards have anything to say?"
asked Howick Reeve Bob Gibson.
"I think it is in order that we
put that clause in," commented
Reeve Anson McKinley, Stanley
Township. "The council of the
day can decide on merit if all
hospitals aren't in agreement."
"In the next two years there
might be considerable change in
the funding to hospitals,"
suggested Reeve Ed Oddleifson,
Bayfield.
In other business left over from
last month, council agreed on the
school electoral boundaries as set
out in May: Stephen, Exeter,
Usborne, two representatives;
Hay, Zurich, Hensall, one;
Stanley and Bayfield, one;
Clinton and Tuckersmith, one;
Seaforth, McKillop and Hullett,
one; Goderich Township and
Colborne, one; Goderich,. two;
Ashfield and West Wawanosh,
one; East Wawanosh, Blyth,
Morris, one; Brussels and Grey,
one; Wingham, Turnberry and
Howick, two. Total 14. Two
separate school trustees bring
board to total of 16 members.
