The committee recommended that any new building program undertaken at this time should be flexible to allow for futtire county expansion. Harry Wors- ell, deputy reeve of Goderich, is chairman of the Property committee. The committee recommended that the building be located in Goderich on Present county property adjacent to the Cqunty Goal. This lot is 80 feet by 208 feet facing on two streets, very close to Highway 21 and there- fore easily accessible by the public, with no parking prob- lem. This clause carried 30-9, those opposed being Councillors Al- exander, Armstrong, Cook, Cut- hill, Dalton, Flynn,, Lawson, Ly- ons, Stewart. The committee submitted two plans to County Council in con- nection with the proposed build- ing pragram. Plan A calls for a two-storey building which would accommo- date the assessment department on the main floor and a second floor to be reserved for future expansion as the need arises. This plan would -complete stage one of an overall plan for fut- ure county accommodation. Ap- proximate cost is $96,100. Plan A, which had been rec- ommended by the Property committee, was adopted on a vote of 38-1. The alternative Plan B would have comprised a one -storey building, providing for neces- sary footing, etc. to allow for a second storey at a later date. Approximately cost was set at $64,000. No one favoured this proposal. • One of the major reasons the committee recommended an ev- entual two-storey 'structure un- der either plan was to - elimin- ate the need of the cost of instal- ling an elevator at approximately $25,000 plus heavy maintenance charges. The committee also felt that the operation could be carried out just as efficiently in a -group of two-storey buildings as in a large structure of four or five storeys. - The cominittee recommended Plan A in view of the shortage of accommodation and saving of ten per cent in building costs. The firm of Snider, Huget and March, architects and engineers, Waterloo, were engaged to pre- pare plans and call for tenders. Donald R. Snider, of this firm, was present in the Council Chamber and cleared up var- ious questions. - The architects were instruct- ed to have the new Assessment building ready for occupancy not later than Deeember 15, 1968. The County Council will reconvene as required to ap- prove accepting tenders for the new building. Financing of the project was, left for consideration by the Finance conimittee. In view of the increased costs of issuing debentures, the committee felt that consideration should be given to financing the program either out of this year's cur- rent funds or paid for over a two-year period of 1968 and 1969. In the discussion, prior to ac- ceptance of the report, J. P. Alexander, Wingham, asked if there was any plaee available to rent. Had the Post Office in Wingham been considered? The Clerk -Treasurer replied that there was a proposal from Set Talks On Huron Planning A panel discussion on the subject of County Planning has been prepared for presentat- ion by C1CNX-TV on Thursday evening, June 27, H. B. Such, chairman, Industrial and Tour- ism Committee, informed Hu.r- on County Council at its session in Goderich Tuesday. Members of the committee and others will participate. Mr. Such who is reeve of Goderich reported that the committee had met on several occasions since the April ses- sion 'and had been concerned mainly with county planning. He reported that meetings had been held in Clinton, Exe- ter and Wingham to which the general public had been invit- ed, "For the most part, opinion ap- pears WI be that now is the time for planning, but the actual setting up of the machinery to establish planning has not been deteirmined," he stated. "There seems to be considerable merit toward cotuuty planning with the cooperation of the present planning boards rIONV establish- ed in the county", Mr. Sueh said it present the committee Is not in the posit- ion to Make any firm rcommen- dation to Council, and request- ed County Council members to coma up with suggstions as to the nekt stops to be taken. Seaforth and another site in Godericla. Leroy Thiel, Zurich, felt that if the government demanded the increased accommodation, then it should pay for it. Frank McFadden, Bayfield, asked if there •was any liaison with the new County School Board. Mr. Berry said that the school board personnel were not in a position to make commitments. No doubt they will- need space but that is not a county respon- sibility. Architect Snider said the building would be of cement block and brick construction, as- bestos tile floor, suspended ceiling, forced warm air, built up pitched roof. Kenneth Stewart, McKillop, suggested erecting the building on county-ownedland at Hur- onview, near Clinton. Carl Dalton, Seaforth, put forward to rent the Cardno block in Seaforth, but unsuccess- fully, Report Indicates Surplus Clerk -Treasurer. John G. Ber- ry submitted a financial report for period' ended April 30, 1968 at the June Session of Huron Tussday. Theirreport indicated a sur- plus in the general account of $20,950 and in the highway ac- count of $2'7,992. - He explained the major change this year comes , from the fact that all administration of justice charges will be re- covered, and in addition rental will be received for the Court House and jail, and a grant will be forthcarning for the Be- gistry Office which will entitle the Province of Ontario to ownership of the building in ten years. The principal item under dis- cussion, as far as the budget is concerned, is the proposed new Assessment Building in Goderich which County 'Coun- cil approved Tuesday. Its es- timated -cost is $96,100. He reported the agreement whereby the County would Pay a subsidy of 25 cents per capita to the. Province for am- , bulance services had been duly signed • There will be no re- quirement for financing essent- ial, ambulance service for the PrOVi7108 will be 'assumed by the Ontario Hospital Services Commission, co:rime/icing July 1, 1968, and the agreelnent will terminate as of June 30, 1968. Heavy Demand For Trees ' Owing to the great demand for trees, the County of Huron found it impossible to obtain necessary quantities to imple rnent the tree planting program this year, Hugh Flynn, Hullett, told County Council at its June Session in Goderich Tuesday. .Mr. Flynn was reporting for the 'Agriculture and Reforesta- tion committee of which' he is chairman. The report stated that the Management Forester, J. Jan - ser had advised that there would be trees available for fall plant- ing, but recommended to the committee that in lieu of fall planting, the tree planting pro- gram be undertaken in 1969. The conimittee made one tour this year and covered the Robertson Tract, the Auburn Bridge site, areas in Hay Town- ship and the Falls Reserve. He said the committee was quite concerned with the prob- lems in Hay Township where there appears to be a large tract of very light land. The day of the tour the dot was- quite noticeable even 'Mough it was not a particularly windy day. For Complete INSURANCE on your HOME, BUSINESS, FARM, CAR, ACCIDENT, LIABILfTY OR LIFE • SEE JOHN A.
