Clear Increase In Huron Tax Rate County taxes iviII be' slightly higher this year with the gen- ,eral rate increased by one ' full Irnill and the highway account remaining unehanged. In his re- port to County Council; .'clerk - treasurer John Berry noted that .the new County Public Library System, the ' Huronvievv deben- ture issue and the increaser in •cost of operations there, an ad - dation to the county museum to the tune of $10,000, increased costs .in other departments and the establishment of a 'disaster fund were to blame for the tight budget. The only bright sriot in clerk Berry's- report was a reduction of $35,000 made this year in monies payable to the hospital reserve fund in an effort td offset the additional debenture issue. - The 1967 'budget calls ;for +.:12,301.52 to be ,raised for gen- eral purposes on a rate of nine mills and $682,804.57 to be raised fpr highway purpos on a rate of 9.3 milia; or a tool: of 18 mills for county purposes. Fund Set Up Consideeable discussion was heard On the establishment of a ditaster fund- to assist Huron pointy, tattler'swho veire e tims of the tornado which rip- ped through sections of the county on April 17. CIerk Berry recalled that in June, 1953, $68,148 was raised threegh fed- eral and provincial sources, -by public subscription and through Huron County Council for the relief, of storm victims In the Blyth area. Blyth Reeve Bordon Cook said that Huron County work crews moved bulldozers, chain saws and trucks into the disas- ter -district at that tante to help clean up the debris. Tuckersmith Reeve Elgin Thompson .assured councillors that sufficient workmenhad been promised but reported that - a Huron -Perth Disaster Fund had been set up. He sug- gested that any Money Huron County Council would offer 'would be matched dollar for dollar ire the provincial- govern- ment.

Gode- rich people who appreciated the beauty of the park.. Such urged councillors to defer 'any action on the proposal until Goderich council had had an opportunity to meet and per- haps come up with some alter= nate suggestion which would be just as acceptable to members, Carl Dalton; reeve of Seaforth' who is cheitman of the proper- ty committee retaliated, "We don't intend to be buffaloed by the town of Goderich.-We were supposed to be , guaranteed parking as long as the court house -existed -County' personnel are being penalized and I don't think Goderich• has a parking problem." Reeve Elgin Thoinpson, Tuck- ersmith, noted, "If they're (Goderich) going to offer;;some- thing better, we're sure glad to hear 'of it." - Reeve Dalton explained . the parking lots -would cost' approei- mately $7,480 and would be paved and feature bumper `:blocks with names on them to discourage shoppers in -Gode- rich from tieing the facilities. 'The _county's proposed 70 -foot wide parking lot would put an end to constant worries., over parking tickets pinned by Gode- rich police to cars left in one spot over the two hour' limit. •-While councillors, and certain.. employees have received spec- ' ial consideration in the past, Reeve Stewart Procter •of .Mor- ris complained to council that 1 he had received a parking tick - eta his first in. 50 years of driv- (Continued on Page. 6) • 12`:PAGES munit id tornado Single Copies .°1* Vegb, $,5,00 ?i:ate r J Mimeo Volunteer canvassers station- ed'. on roads throughout the tornado distaster area collect - .ed,. $2,816.937,from sight seers an9sunday.. , The gifts were tabulated by I•ftlron-Perth tornado Fund cone m etee treasurer, Lloydd.
