Hitherto, the rate has been $4.50, but opera- tors have claimed that this amount is inadequate. Council at Wednesday's session adopted a report of its finance and ex- ecutive committee recommend- ing amendment of. Bylaw 34 ac- cordingly. . In earlier discussions it has been contended that many chronic patients in general hos- pitals could be given ,all the care they require in nursing homes. • A delegation from Associat- ed. Nursing Homes of Ontario, Incorporated, met with the com- mittee July 10, and so many attended the meeting that it had to be held in the council chamber, with Reeve Milton Desch, committee chairman, in Mrs. J. B. Russell Well -Known Community Worker Dies the warden's chair. "The association is not too happy about the effective date," reported Mr. Oesch. "They wanted it retroactive to July 1. Huronview has an inmate population of 214, which super- intendent H. F. Johnston told council is "about the most We have ever had." He was speak- ing to the board report, pre- sented by Chairman James Hay- ter, deputy -reeve of Stephen. "Due to the number of appli- cants still waiting to get into Huronview," the report stated, "we have asked that all staff personnel living in vacate their rooms no later than Sept. 30." "We may lose three or four staff members over the moving out," Mr. Johnston said. "They feel they cannot get accommo- dation. The new accommoda- tion on .the grognel floor is practically completed. We' are putting laridrails in the corri- dors. This accommodation was 26 extra.beds, and 12 of these are occupied at present.. We do have three or 'four beds in the men's sick bay, but the bed care for women, on the top floor, is- completely Oiled, so.. we are getting pretty near ca- pacity again. Applications have been slowed up •since Dr. J. C. Ross took sick, and that is per- haps why they are piling up. (Dr. Ross met the committee at his home Wednesday and said he hoped soon to resume duty). Council's new public school consultative committee is as follows: Reeve' Morgan Agnew, Clinton (chairman); Reeve Frank Walkom, Goderich; Reeve J. Roy Adair, Wingham;' Reeve Glenn Fisher, Exeter, and Reeve NelscM C. Cardno, Sea - forth. Council's striking com- mittee istoappoint this. con- sultative committee each year at the January session. • If the duties relate to a coun- ty school area, Reeve Stewart Procter, of Morris, suggested the committee might have been more representative, of the. county. Warden Jewell said it had been considered that the urban personnel would be less involved with local problems. With •the Ontario legislation effective only next Japiiary 1, it was suggested that there would be nothing for the com- mittee to do. "When do they adjust boun- daries?" • asked the Warden. "I understand there are to be some adjusted in the county?" The Clerk had inquired of the Department of Education regarding procedure this year, but the reply was not specific. The consultative committee was set up on -recommendation daughter of the late James R. of the warden's and personnel 'Scott and Harriet Campbell, and was born at Roxboro.

The OWRC said that there had been'a problem in pump design, not only in in- stallations here, but in other centres, and that in discusOolis with the manufacturer it IS pro- posed to replace the wading installation with a motor run- ning at 1150 r.p.m., rather than 1750 r.pm., and that this would involve certain pump modifica- tions. A charge of $876.06. was indicated for the change in design, but no charge was to be made for labor or other costs., Deputy Reeve Dalton recall- - ed discussions with an OWRC engineer when it was under- stood the conversion would be made withotit any cost to the mogicipality, and members of council and Mayor MacLean agreed. "We will be paying for their mistake," Mayor Mac- Lean commented. . • .,• Council concurred in a reso- lution adopted by ,the 'PUC in connection with the -installation of a six-inch water main on Centennial Drive, at an esti- mated cost of $2,600.

Consider Storm Grains. First steps towards a long- term capital . program for Sea - forth were taken as council considered a report by 'Conn- • allot J. O. Turnbull, chairman of the finance and administra- tion committee. The report dealt with an anticipated sur- plus of ,perhaps. .$14,000, and suggested that steps should be taken , at „aii early date to pro- vide engineering 'Par: ticularly in connection with storm sewers that would be re- quired to serve the town as a whole. The study Would be similar to the study that was carried. out in connection ' with. sanitary sewers several years ago. Discussion revealed hesi- tancy on the ' part of council to become involved in road im- provements of a permanent nature until storm sewers had been provided for. Only then - could there .be a degree of permanency. Council instructed the public works chairman to obtain en- gineering advice in connection with the sewers, so that a de- cision eould be taken. Some change in the basis for providing additional sidewalks was contemplated. when it was pointed out the • existing ar- rangement providing the own- er pay 60 per cent and the town 40 per cent, was leading to some inequality., Unless there is 100 per cent agreement in a particular area. it is not pos- sible to proceed with sidewalks under this arrangement, and this was denying service to which some personS, owning new homes. were entitled. Council asked for a report as to the costs involved in the construction of a sidewlak along Chalk Street, from the entrance to the Separate School to Goderich Street and along the northerly limits of West, William Street, Reporting for the police corn. mitten Councillor John Flan- nery said that there had been 117 occurrences during August (Continued on Page 41 r.
