THE HURON EXPOSITOR, APRIL 11, 1984 - B5 liberal spending attacked Liberal Finance Critic Pat Reid (Rainy River) has again attacked the government's spending ' aetices. A 542, . I I study to determine public attitudes to Expo 86 in Vancouver B.C. undertaken by Decitna Research for the with1101listrytax a er'smone awa neitherpaid for tender- taxpayer's y, . ed nor exempted from tendering by the Cabinet's Management Board. The project was cleverly divided into three segments billed below $15,000 each r. the key figure which would have hrnnght into ria" rho .,Port for 'tendering. Once again, thousands of taxpayer's dollars went to an organization entity to the Davis government. Other were given no opportunity to bid, always r.upposit#g the contract award was a legitunate exercise. Opposition leader David Peterson and Mr. Reid also made public details of a series of contracts costing more than $150,000 in public funds. None was tendered, rules were blatantly manipulated, apparently to evade the - -provisions' of the Davis. government's much touted(`Manual of Administration. Disclosures pit public money going to favoured firms and individuals put the lie to the myth that the Davis Government is administering the public purse wisely and well. Recently contracts were awarded to Peter Barnard Associates for advice on creating resources machinery development centre in Sudbury and two Dorey and Crossley Communications for services during a 26 week absence of a senior staff member. We have witnessed contraventions of the Manual of Administration by several mini- stries. For example, the Doug Wiseman/ Man Gordon disputes: the $81,300 contract to Allan W. Foster and Associates parcelled out in ten separate payments each below the $15,000 tendering level; the $101,000 telephone directory and the $617,000 telephone data base project, without Man- agement Board authority or the feasibility study required by the manual. Gordon Walker paid 8207,000 to Donald R. Martyn and Associates (untendered) mainly for politically stage-managing the opening of six provincial technology centres. A total of $206,000 was paid to Gwyn P. Williams' Matrix Communications for speech'writing, an average of $28,000 a year for three years, then $120,207 in 82/83, the year Williams collaborated on Walker's book A Conservative Candidate°'. Now Manage- ment Board Chairman George McCague has declared in his "Wasaga Beach confession" that the government will conduct a review to ascertain who is ultimately responsible for safeguarding taxpayer's money. Such a question from a Minister of the Crown gives pause for thought, if not for panic. Who has been tending the store until now? Choice Cows -53. to 56. with sales to 60. Good Cows -50. to 53. Canners & Cutters -46. to 50. Heavy Lean Bulls to a high of 64.50. Light Bulls to a high of 71. 30 to 40 ib. pigs traded to a high of 39. 40 to 50 Ib. pigs to a high of 50.75. 50 to 60 Ib, pigs to a high of 57. 60 to 70 lb. pigs to a high of 65. 70 to 80 Ib. pigs to a high of 70.

Ontario Hydro changes electrical .safety code Ontario Hydro has made a number of changes in the Electrical Safety Code to better protect customers and workers against\ potential fire and shock hazards.

PC MEETIJUO-Mary Donnelly (left), newly acclaimed president of the Huron -Bruce Progressive Conservative Association, and east president Marg Bennett chat with guest speaker John Crosble and riding representa- tive MP Murray Cardiff at the Association's annual meeting In Exeter. (ExeterTimee- Advocate Photo) Crosbie lashes 'at Liberals More than 500 people attended the annual Crosbie said the central issue facing the meeting of the Huron -Bruce Progressive country is not language, nor the constitution Conservative Association held in the Exeter nor the Liberal succession, 'but economic Community Centre. The excellent turnout growth. Unemployment stood at five percent could be credited in part to the guest in 1968, it was seven and one-half percent speaker, former finance minister John four years ago with 967,000 jobless and has Crosbie. now risen to 1,476,000 persons out of work. The honourable member from St. Johns Crosbie quoted finance minister Lalonde's West did not disappoint his audience. His prediction of 10 percent unemployment for introductory comic monologue complete with the next two years to indicate little relief in the obligatory Newfie joke was followed by the forseeable future. 40 minutes of Crosbie -style Liberal bashing.

Thomp- son & Sons Limited, the Ontario Bean Growers Co -Operative, the Hensall District Co -Operative, Ferguson Bros. of St. Thomas and the Farm Products Marketing Board arising from the crop failure relating to the 1977 white pea bean crop has been settled. Pursuant to the settlement the Ontario - Bean Producers' Marketing board is to receive a total of 53 million from three of the dealers (W.G. Thompson & Sons Limited, the Ontario Bean Growers Co -Operative and the Hensall District Co -Operative). The claims by the Ontario Bean Producers' Marketing Board against the dealers and the Farm Products Marketing Board, and the counter- claims by the four dealers against the Ontario Bean Producers' Marketing Board are to be dismissed without costs. The settlement was reached as a result of a day long pre-trial held before the Honourable Mr. Justice R.E. Holland of the Supreme Court of Ontario. It is based on discussions between counsel for the parties and Mr. Justice R.E. Holland concerning the complex legal issues involved in the actions, the delay in resolving those complex issues through the appellate court levels available to the parties, and the desirability of resolving outstanding differences. On Apr. 16, producers of 1977 crop white pea beans will be sent $83.31 per tonne for beans delivered and yellow -eye bean pro- ducers will be sent 567.31 per tonne. • The management'of publicrfuudg has become arious concern for those who govern for ase who are governed.
