Meet More Often In '67 Huron Council decides Huron County CounciI plans to meet no less than seven times next year, it was decided at the September session held in the Court House, Goderich, Friday. Report of the Warden's and "Personnel Committee, which was adopted without discussion, pro- posed times of meeting as fol- lows: January, three days; Mar- ch, two days; April, one day; June, two days; September, one day; October, one day; Novem- ber, two days; total 12 days. In 1966, sessions have total- led ten days, January, four; March, one; 'June, three; Aug- ust (special), one; September, one; total ten, with the Novem- ber session still to come. The report recommended: "In view of the increased amount of business being trans- acted at the County level and in view of the fact that a great deal of this business should be transacted. as . quickly as pose Bible, we'would recommend that in 1967, County Council meet more often, but for shorter per- iods of time so that the overall number :of County Council' 'nes; sions would; not be any greater than at present." The .entire situation will be .-reviewed later tin 1967 for fut- ure needs. • Elmer Hayter, Stanley,chair- Man, explained that other coun- Neighbors Mark Anniversary Mr. and Mrs. William Kelley were surprised' by neighbors, Thursday evening, the occasion being their 40th wedding an- niversary.

Ernest Talbot, Stanley, asked if there had been any complaints• or reports from this man. "If we ,are compelled by .law to have a building inspector, Mr. Smith is a man who is quite sincereand doing a good job," Warden Kenneth Stewart, Me- KTllop, replied. Clarence E. Boyle, Exeter, didn't see any point in extend- ing the probation period. The committee chairman said the idea was to wait a year and, review the year's work.

We will be revising the long range construction plan which will re - fleet this development road work in the near future. Hon. C, S. MacNaughton stat- ed in his letter that he was able to make these designations on- ly because the County of Huron qualified for this type of ' dir- ect aid as per the findings of the road needs study and be- cause of the county's willingness to raise its share of its needs by increasing the mill rate for roads, "The committee realizes that the findings of the need study and the subsequent .55 mill in- crease in road levy were not pleasant to many members, but we feel these recent designa- tions Jwith more to come in the future) make our actions worth- while. -You will recall' that we stated' for an investment' of $35,000 (.55 milts on the Boun- ty assessment) we evourd;quall- fy for dfreet aid, m`o aun'ting' to apllroXitietitely $2156,000i' 3, s, y a- 8, .4 s s J. ty t, h g t o e h e o f year: Work on development road 759-2 on the Crediton.
