Acting on a recommendation of
their DeVelopinent Committee,
Huron County Council authorized
a letter be fprwarded to. the
MinistryofAgriculture and Food,,
Drainage Section, suggesting that
any money not required by
municipalities in Huron County
be, allocated to other municipali-
ties in Huron which could use the
funds.
The recommendation was., the
result of "a meeting between the
committee and Don Pullen,
Agriculture Representative for
Huron, at which -Mr.:,. Pullen Pullen
presented a report which set out
the methods' used by the Province
in allocating funds and amounts
allocated to municipalities in
Huron , and the surrounding
counties,-
McKillop Township Reeve
Allan Campbell. asked just how
the funds could be redistributed
when each township did not know
until November at least how much
money they had used.
Morris Township Reeve Bill
Elston eiplained that it would in
fact 'be 'funds from the previous
year,which would be redistributed
' to cover: the cost, of projects in
other areas.
Council also approved a budget
of $6,850 for-the County Exhibit

way to „ achieve any unified
Managerial control over case flow
is to place overall control in the
hands of a central authority with
the ability to develop and apply
case flow management standards
upon individual courts. Neither
the constitution nor the public
would permit this authority to be
wielded by the Attorney General.
Effective management controls
over individual courts and upon
the court system as a whole can•
only be imposed where Ultimate
authority is vested in a judicial
office. It is proposed that ultimate
authority and responsibility be
conferred upon a Judicial Council
composed of the senior judiciary.
The United States and Great
Britain have adopted different
solutions to vest, unitied control

THE HURON EXPOSITOR MARCH 31, 1.077 16
(By Jack Riddell MPP).
In October 1976 the Ministry Of
. the Attorney General issued 'a
White Paper on Courts Adrninfs-
tration, based upon the premise
that justice in Ontario nmy
seriously undermined by the
caseload crisis facing the courts of
this province. This White Paper
reports that it was clear by 1968
tat great discrepancies existed
In facilities and services available
4v various parts of the province,
and only a systematic approach
would ensure adequate facilities
and level of service for all
Ontarians. A Major change in
courts administration took place
in 1968 when the province, and
'the- Ministry of the Attorney
General assumed, for the firtst
time ever, ' responsibility for
courts administration.
In 1970 the whole question of
how traditional and ancient
methods of courts administration
could best be adapted to 20th
Century needs was referred to the
Ontario Law Reform Commission.
The Commission's ' Report,
'completed in 1973, was endorsed
-by the government, although
some concern was . expressed
about specific operational
proposals.
A regional developmental
project to test- feasibility of
various court -reform proposals
was initiated, for which purpose
the Central West Region, a group
of ten counties and judicial
districts clustering around
Hamilton; was selected,
providing as it does a microcosm
of the entire province. The
objective of the project was to
provide a setting for developing
and testing administrative
methods and services for the
courts.
The Project Manageinent Team
. concentrated on the following ,
areas:
(a) development of office
standards for Provincial
Courts (Criminal and.
Family Divisions);
general management of the
court offices, by the
management team;
(c) development of more
effective techniqUes for
allocating the work of court
reporters and the prepara-
tion of transcriptS;
development of statistical
analysis methods ' and
techniques;
developnient ,of evaluative
criteria and standards
related to court priitlitetivityr
(f) case flow management.
According to the White Paper,
in all but one crucial area, the
Project ' Team .. achieved
considerable success. The,
p 'development' of administrative
support services . permitted the
protect team to:
(a) monitor the effectiveness of
individual offices;
(b) allocate adininistrataive re-
sources more effectively
and efficiently; -
(c) develop a uniform response,
throughout the area, to
administrative _
changes in court operations
However, the present divided
administrataive structure of the
courts prevented any real,
progress in the key area of case

A RARE EVENT — Identical triplet calves were born two weeks ago on the farm of
Francis Hicknell, R.R.5, Seaforth. The calves are Holstein Hereford cross. M r.
Hicknell said two were born within a few minutes of each other, and that neither the
vet in attendance nor he were aware that the cow carried a third calf, which was
porn about three hours later. It is. the first time 1-n 50 years of family farming that
triplet calves (Expositor Photo) have been born, Mr. Hicknell said. 1
