Do you remember?
BY JABEZ RANDS
As part of Clinton's upcoming Centennial celebrations,
Jabez Rands of Clinton is writing a weekly column on the
history of the town.)
Do you remember when the ToWn Fathers started to
think about a clock for Clinton?
During the 1890s, the subject came up at Clinton Councill'
once or twice about getting a clock for the town.
In 1897, the question was asked about putting a clock in
the Library Tower and Sam Cooper, the contractor for the
Stavley Memorial Hall, stated that in order to put a clock in
the tower; it would have to be changed •from the ground up
in order to accommodate the dials, and the tower would
have to be raised, making it look out of proportion to the
rest of the
Council seemed to forget the matter entirely, but even-
tually a clock was installed, but it was put in by the federal
government, in 1915 in the now demolished red brick post of-
fice in Town. The post office was constructed in 1903.
But Clinton'is now back in the same situation as it was in
the 1890s -- no clock -- since the old post office was torn
down in 1967.

County budget 'up $400,000
ditto') to this change, of course, is the increase
county requirement, and as a result the overall
requirements for county purposes for 1974 are .con-
siderably greater",
Poring the day-long session, business included a
report from the Medical Officer of Health, Dr, Frank
Mills, In his presentation, Dr. Mills attempted to ex,
plain recent stories in the press concerning the possible
Amalgamation of the Health Units in Huron and
Perth,
Dr. Mills said it was his impression that because
there was a vacancy at the present time in Perth, af,
ter the death of the MOH there, talk of
amalgamation has come alive again, He said the last
time it was discussed was when there was, a vacancy in
Huron„
He explained to council the decision on this' matter
is up to the board of health and county council,
"All we'd gain is some extra grants", said Dr, Mills.
"But there would be more work and less control",
In his report, Dr, Mills explained the present
requirements in Huron when installing a septic tank
system,
The afternoon session dealt with the UDIRA study
(Urban Development in Rural Areas) which is being
completed as a joint project between the county and
the province, James F, MacLaren Limited,
Willowdale, are the 'environmental consultants in-
volved in the study,
It will cost Huron County taxpayers more in 1974,
That was the news at last -Friday's session of Huron
County Cottnil at which Warden Dill Elston ni)09411,
• ced the county budget was "up just a shade over
$400,000" and would. represent what amounts to an
Increase of about 5 1/2 mills.
The Warden explained it simply;
."Our services are going up every year," he .said, "If
we keep adding, we Must have more money'!..
He urged All committee members to "try and hold
.clown all new services" in the coming Year.
Clerk-treasurer John Berry said the total budget
amounted to $5,988,108 "just $12,000 short of
the $6,000,000 figure",
"The various committees and beards have reviewed
their requirements very carefully, but despite this ac-
, tion there is a steep increase in the county rate
requirements for the coming year", Berry said.
''The increase is reflected in t he general rate which
is increased some 8380,000", Berry noted, "However,
one must remember that in 1973, the county used ap-
proximately $200,000 on surplus funds to hold the levy
at that time".
The Highways Department in turn is drawing on its
reserves this year, Berry said, in order to hold the
Highway Levy. He said one must look forward to 1975
When, if the trend continues and the programming in
the Highway Department remains constant, rate in-
crease will be necessary for highways.
General government will cost $272,360; protection to
persons and property, $17,000; public works,
$2,129,000; public health, $400,718; Social and Family
Services including Huronview, child welfare and social
services, $2,245,673; recreation and community ser-
vices including planning, land division, library,
museum and Historic sites, $449,845; financial,
$196,160; other, such as reforestation, development,
grants , new building, plumbing inspection, $179,245;
estimated surplus in 1974, $98,107. Total budget,
$5,988,108.
County taxpayers will ,contribute $2,033,000 to this
budget.
"If you recall last year it was decided to accept the
Tax Review Committee's report which altered the
distribution of county costs by prorating some of these
costs on a population basis rather than assessment
basis", said Reeve Doug McNeil, Colborne. "In ad-
