The new agreement which exp- ires June 30, 1976, provides for increases of 15 to 22 percent and for the first time will include plumbing inspectors. Under the terns of the new agreement the county's four public health inspectors will receive between $11,100 and $14,000; the two plumbing insp- ectors will receive between $11,500 and $14,400; secretary and bookkeeper between $6,800 .and $8,400; secretary -steno between $6,400 and $8,000 clerk typist between $6,000 and $7,000 while dental assist- ant fees will be $30 per day. No additional employee bene- fits were granted in the cont- ract and the maximum salaries for the public health and plumb- ing inspectors will be effective after five years rather than four as in the previous contract. The debate was sparked by Executive Committee chairman Robin Lawrie who argued that the executive committee had jurisdictional rights over the plumbing inspectors. Members argued that is simply a matter of semantics and that if a plumb- ing inspector does any sanitary inspection he comes under the Board of Health and must be a member of a union.

Shown here with the candidate are,. left to right, Paul Steckle, R.R.2, Zurich, Aubrey McCallum, of East Williams, Mr. Riddell and Dave McLure, of Stephen Township. (T.A. Photo) Liberals choose present member (by Ross Haugh) Jack Riddell present MPP in the Ontario legislature for Huron will represent the Liberals in the new Huron -Middlesex riding in the next provincial election. RTiddell, a Dashwood area farmer and former high school teacher was the only persons nominated at the meeting held at South Huron High School, in Exeter, Thursday night. The new Huron -Middlesex riding inclujdes five municipalit- ies in the northwest corner of Middlesex formerly part of the Middlesex riding. Now part of the Huron -Bruce riding are the townships of Hullett and Mc -Killop formerly in Huron. Riddell 's nomination was made by Aubrey McCallum of East Williams township and sec- onded by Mrs. Muriel Murphy, of Goderich. In making the nomination McCallum said, "the two Liberal wins in March 1973 by-elections brought regional government to a halt and if we don 't send Jack and other Liberals back to Toronto it's our last chance before D ' Arcy McKeough completes his task." In accepting the nomination, the Huron MPP said the govern- ment was ignoring the probl- ems of local government and the needs of individual municip- alities. He continued "we believe in the capacity of our people to run their own affairs. The govern- ment seems to forget that their decisions affect real people." On the subject of education, Riddell said, "we in the Liberal party welcome the new educat- ion legislatin. It was long over- due. We have been concerned over the direction eduction is tak- ing in our province." He continued "I feel that a Lib- eral government can restore confidence in our schools, rest- ore the quality of education and get the costs under control." Riddell who won the Huron seat in a March 15, 1973 by- eleetion to fill the vacancy crea- ted by the resignation of the Hon. Charles S. MacNaughton said, my job in compaigning starts to -morrow morning. We can 't take victory for granted." He praised the Huron Liberal Association for their excellent efforts in his election. He added "the association sure jelled and really came to life. It was you people that got me elected." Riddell also touched on the subject of regional government. He commented, "three years ago the Conservatives said there will be no more regional govern- ment but the statement usually ended with "at this time." The plan was not abandoned. but just delayed." He also attacked the govern- ment on their farm policies saying (continued on page 17) Huron wants uthority Huron County Warden Anson McKinley told the monthly session of the county council that he would initiate restructur- ing within the county govern- mental system if the government of Ontario is willing to give more authority at the county level. Speaking as chairman of the restructuring committee Warden McKinley told council members that county administration costs amounted to $311,000 not includ- ing committee pay. The total administration costs to all the municipalities was over $684,000. Restructuring or local govern- ment reform could reduce the present 45 member council to 29 if it is adopted and thereby greatly reduce the administrative cost burden. Council is watching Oxford county council closely as they have adopted a restruct- uring program and trimmed their council to 20 members. There was great polarization between council members on the effects of a restructuring prog- ram: One member stated that a cutback would mean a heavier work load on a smaller number. It was feared that this would cause more and lengthier meet- ings and would discourage members from seeking re-elect- ion. However it was also argued that restructuring could be bene- ficial to small towns and villages and provide better services to ratepayers. Clinton Reeve Harold Lobb explained "we have a good system at present and the only way to improve it is to cut costs." The county has employed the services of a student for the sum- mer to meet with reeves and clerks of each municipality to obtain infomation from the 1974 auditors report and the 1975 budget and to note the increases (continued on page 14)
