BY ALICE Galli:
County council has passed
a new bylaw to update its
method 'of establishing hose
ital grants a bylaw it hopes
will protect it in the future.
Council will now, pay a
grant .up to a maximum of
37.5 per centof the ,paid:
provincial . subsidy : for any
provincially approved build-
ing K project at any ;public
hospital in thecounty, pro-
vided no grant paid to one
institution exceeds 25 per
cent of the toatal pproved
project cost,
In effect, 'the new : bylaw
says provinCe woretput
their funds in a hospital
• building project, then the
county won't. either. This.
protects; the .county- from`
having to fund hospital::reno-.
• nation projects approved, but
not funded, by the province.
Also, with the new bylaw;
the county no longer needs
the approval of the four other
county hospitals when 'fund-
ing a building program at the
other public hospitals, in the
• •.county..
Bill Hanly, Huron County
Berk -treasurer, said the
executive committee's con-
cern with the former bylaw
was that the province might
feel " if' I don't have to pay
for something, then 1 may be
pretty free with my ap-
proval." The current bylaw
safeguards The county from
• this possibility.
Reeve Eldrid Simmons of
Exeter expressed concern
over the new bylaw, saying:
he's afraid smaller hospitals'
already aren't getting the
'same share of funding that
goes to larger hospitals..
He said "When we're
collecting money from tai -
payers, we have as. •much
right to have a .hospital
funded by the county wheth-
er the provincial government
funds it or riot." "
Mr. ` Simmons said the
Exeter hospital was fortunate
they had•,their own finances
to fund a recent building
program at the hospital
When the province turned
down their request for finan-
dal assistance, the Exeter
hospital went ahead' with
renovations -using a grant
from the county •and their
own funds.
The ; province did contrib-
ute two-thirds of the cost of
building programs at Goder-.

department needs about

He said in comparing
notes with other economic
development officers at .
recent conference he found,
firms are hesitant to make.
committments'because of the•
airrent high interest rates.

Huron County council ap-
proved a. recommendation of
the road committee to in-
crease the land purchase
price for road widenings
from. 5500 an acre to 52,40()
an acre plus S12 a rod foci
fence allowance. If 'a new
fence is to be constructed by
county staff at a price of 512
per rod, it will be deducted
fromthe land purchase price,
Council approved the pur-
chase of a diesel motor
grader, complete with snow
ich, Clinton- _and Wingham
Ixispitals, with the county
funding 25 per cent of the
remaining costs and the local
municipality :seven per cent.
of the cost in each case.
Mr. Simmons said he's
concerned when the county
hospitals run out of money in
the future, and the ministry
of health doesn't fund them,
or 'the county, then the
hospitals • will get m a
dilapidated condition."

Simmons added,1

Eileen n Palmer of
said she sees the present
situation in hospital funding
more as :a move to bring
district . health councils into
the area. The reeve, a strong
advocate of health councils,
said because of the provincial
hospital, • funding situation,:
she sees more need to have
district health:councils, since',
they'd have more; clout in.,
dealing with the province.
ln: other council: business,
.members approved the hir-
ing of another public health
nurse to workin the north' of
the county. Dr. Brian Lynch,
the Medical Offieer.of Health.
reported the: 'public:' health
nurse in the Wingham area
was carrying a caseload of
6,588 and spends 10 days of
each month, on homecare
alone.
The board of health report
said ' "Tlte, distance from
Wingham tothe farthest end
of Ashfield is 30 miles, so
that part of the district • has
virtually no nursingservice
because the Wingham area
nurse has little time to visit
in Ashfield and West Wawa -
nosh Township."
The nurse's salary will be
from S14-517,000 annually:
depending on experience,
with the province funding 50
per cent of the cost. '
The boardof health also.
recommended that their staff
should'. avoid • smoking in
situations where it wouldn't
support the objectives of the, -
health unit's programs.
Eileen Palmer, chairman
of the health board, said
there was some concern that
staff members were smoking
inpublic schools while carry-
ing out their duties. She said.
