However a surplus from prior years of $16,119.09 is being used this year to reduce the county share of the total Huronview budget. SOCIAL SERVICES (WELFARE) This budget, according to Chairman Harold Robinson, Reeve of Howick, was a difficult one to strike because it is a new department in the county, With no previous budgets to consult, the committee termed it a "guesserama budget." The 1972 budget for the Social Service department amounts to $380,150. The county share of $94,510 amounts to about 24 per cent of the total budget. "Since this is a new department, the Committee do not have past experience to rely on so may well have budgeted low in some areas and high in others," the report said, "Hopefully, the total overall budget will not be exceeded." The budget provided for increased salaries Continued from Page 1, for the four persons working in the social services department, When the staff was hired, the Executive Committee recommended that the salaries be reviewed in June of 1972 and since it was necessary for budget purposes to know the cost of any salary adjustments, the committee received approval for the following salaries: For the administrator, John MacKinnon, $9,500 from $9,000; for Howard Hackwell and Charles Hay, the two field workers, $6,500 each from $6,000; and for the secretary, $5,200 from $4,800. The division of workload for the social services department was spelled out in the report too. MacKinnon is responsible for all applications and field work in the Town of Goderich; Hackwell has all municipalities north of County Road 25; and Charles Hay has all municipalities south of County Road 25 except the Town of Goderich.
