-;Aithough•'th'ere were 15 votes for
deficit financing at Friday's.session
of Huron County Council, 24 votes°
were cast in favor of, a budget which
will increase the, county mill. rate
this year by 3;25 Mills. •'
The budget calls for $3..26$,353..
Although health,, library and child.-
fen's •aidcosts. are up and a• new
item , county planning has added
20;-000=to-ttte-expenditures-, the
main hike is due to the new assess-
ment department budget of
$197,425 and the final payment of
the' administrative building; of..^
$100,000; • ..
It should also be noted that the
general account is set at 12.25• •
pills bearing. theentire mill rate'.
increase, and the road budget. re
Mains steady. at 10. mills' for a total
county mill rate of 2.25.. `
Clerk -treasurer John Berry •
predicted' a "brighter financial pier"-
ure" for ,1970' when .assessment
costs would be taken over by the
province .. In addition to the fact
there would be no further payments
to. rnake on the administrative
building, the.building would in •
'19.70 be; revenue producing since
the provincial government will
lease the entire building for assess-
ment .purposes
;As well; • reported Berry,. •a deben.•-
,cure on.Huronview.•w,ou1'd be paid,
teducing the ;costs there ,by
$70,000.
It was Stanley Reeve`,; Elmer Hay
ter and..his deputy -reeve Anson:
McKinley. who spoke out in favor of
deficit financing
Said ReeveHayter,,'• 'Somebody's
going,to:have to borrow the money

In connection with the budget,
McKinley drew attention to Huron's.
disappointment that the county will
receive only a 50. percentgrant.;
of the healthunit expenses when a.•
75 percent grant had been expected
at the time the health. budget was
approved: :
Perth County has qualified for` the
75 percent grant•: , . ' • '
"I :don't think we are, getting.a •
square deal,'". McKinley observed
"Perhaps we should scale down
expenditures. That would'.be a
backward step' but not as"backw'ard
as the decision of the provincial •
government."

.;been:forwarded to Dr. Matthew

council has been .in'.touch with -Hon..

province had, given Huron: an •
opportunity to: get in on the 75
