No overtime
for snow crews
At the last meeting of Huron
County Council, considerable
discussion was heard concerning
regulations in the Employment
Standards Act which require
that snow removal crews be paid
time and a half for overtime.
Council approved a 1969
road committee
recommendation to petition
the Minister of Labour and
the director of employment
standards to allow employees
carrying out these
maintenance procedures to
come with the meaning of
"maintenance" and thereby be
exempt from the new
regulation. Mr, Britnell
explained to council that
aside from the fact that road
crews never mentioned
dissatisfaction with the present
arrangement, if the new
regulations are enforced it
might become necessary for
the county road employees to
work shorter hours in good
weather to compensate for
the overtime expenses in the
poor weather,
It was the county's policy
through the years, added Mr.
Britnell, to ensure road trews
a full week's pay every week.
He said he felt the new
regulations were designed to
cover workmen who were
being expiofted by employers.
Present rate of pay for
snow retnoval cteW members
is $2.20 per hurt,

The CNC study said the 1966
population of Clinton, 3,280,
represented a 28,8' per cent
increase from 1951 at an annual
rate of 1.9 per cent. This
increase was greater than that of
Huron County (10.9 per cent)
but less- than that .of the
province (51.4 per cent).
From 1961 to 1966 the
population dropped six per cent.
Despite the decline, there was a
natural population increase of
259, Because there was a drop of
211 from 1961 to 1966, there
appears to have been an
out -migration of at least. 470
persons, or 13.5 per cent of the
1961 census population.
Of the 11 eligible;
not -contacted respondents, four
are considered potential tenants

There is, Says ODIC, therefore
an estimated effective demand
for 18 Senior. citizen units.
The main characteristics :of
senior ;citizen respondents in
Clinton were outlined as follows
by Oi•IC.
They are mainly 7.0 years of
age or older, The Old Age
Pension plus some other small
source such as bank interest are
their main sources of income,
providing an average income of
less than $200 per month, With
respect to accommodation, they
are mainly either homeowners or
are renting an apartment in a
converted house.
All respondents who are
presently renting
accommodation would be
paying less in Ontario Housing
accommodation than they are
now paying.

MOH refuses
septic tank OK
Because the Huron Medical
Officer of Health vetoed plans
for a septic system for a home
under construction on Maple
Street north of Whitehead
Street, Clinton Town Council
has decided to extend sanitary
sewer lines on Maple Street.
B, M, Ross Associates will be
hired to prepare engineering
reports and specifications for the
work, council agreed Monday
night.
The project will be financed
under the Local Improvement
Act which allows benefited
properties to be assessed and
also permits those properties
owners to file objections to the
plan.
William L. Empey, chief
public health inspector for the
county, in a letter to the Town
of Clinton, said this month that
"due to problems that could
arise with septic tank systems in
this area (Maple Street), I feel
the Town Council should refrain'
from granting building , permits
for this area until sanitary 'sewers
are available." Three houses
being built should also be
serviced, he said,
Mr. Empey told Ray Mitchell
of Clinton that The Medical
Officer of Health is "not
prepared to approve" his
proposed septic sewage disposal
system.
