Rental for the above libraries
will be based on the
maintenance costs of the
previous year,. These include
heat, light, insurance, caretaking
ete,;. in other words, the
complete maintenance costs.
Any capital expenditures
undertaken by the local
municipality for these buildings
Will be recovered from the
County Board As part of the
rental, with the cost spread over
a number of years depending on
the nature of the actual
expenditures. Each municipality
will be required to submit a
financial statement not later
than February 15 each year.
Frank McFadden, Bayfield,
Board chairman, said the Board
felt it would be more practical if
the properties were returned to
their own municipalities.
The Board should be in the
library business, not dealing in
property and maintenance," he
said.
In the past, the library service
had suffered because time and
money had had to be spent on
maintenance.
SEEK GRANT
Huron County Board of
Health reported to County
Council in Goderich last week
that it had met with C. S.
McNaughton to discuss the
possibility of Huron County
being established as a District
Health Unit and thus entitled to
a 75 per cent grant.
The Huron MLA gave the
Board no encouragement in this
direction, it said, but the
Minister stated that he was
pursuing this subject and the
feasibility of Huron and Perth
Counties amalgamating for
health purposes.
Clifford R. Dunbar, Grey
Township, Board chairman, said
the Board had., approved a
recommendation of the MOH,
Dr. G.P.A. Evans, appointing
Mrs. Rosemarie Evans as senior
staff public health nurse, she
having acted in this capacity on
a number of occasions.
No salary increase was
anticipated Mr. Dunbar said.
The Board has agreed to
sponsor two students as
candidates on course who would
be available for employment in
the summer of 1970. A
satisfactory agreement has been
reached in renting quarters in
Brussels Medical and Dental
Centre at $114 per month.
START PLANNING
Approval having been
received from the Ontario
Minister of Municipal Affairs,
Huron County is now a
"planning area" subject to a
Planning Board, according to a
report of the Industrial and
Tourism Committee presented at
the October Session of Huron
County Council in Goderich last
week.
Herbert B. Such, Goderich,
chairman, stated that the next
step would be for the County
Council to establish the Planning
Board, which would consist of
five members from County
Council and the current Warden,
plus five other non-councillors.
He said that each
municipality in the County is
being asked to submit names of
prospective members.
C. E. Boyle, Exeter and A. D.
Smith, Turnberry, didn't like the
idea that a member of a local
board could not, be a member of
the County board.
Such explained that this
aspect should be taken under
consideration by the committee.
"There might be a conflict of
interest between the County
Planning Board and the local
group" he pointed out.
Personnel for the new County
Planning Board will be proposed
at the November Session of
County Council, he intimated.
HIRE ASSESSORS
E. F. Hall, Huron County's
new Assessment Commissioner,
reported to County Council at
its October session in Goderich
last week, that the County could
carry on with its present
assessment until such time as the
re-assessment of the County has
been completed. The length of
time to continue the present
assessment would be decided by
the Ontario Government, he
said.
He was of the opinion that it
would take sone time to adjust
to the situation. Authority of
local assessors will cease at the
year-end,

Equalization Committee,

PONDE RS BIGNESS
FllardLange, Warden of Perth
County, was a guest ..of Huron
County Council at its .0.ctober
session in .Goderich. last week.
In a jovial vein, he remarked
that. ."you can do without your
relatives but you can't do
without your neighbors."
He said he was against
"bigness" for "bigness' sake".
"Everything seems to be
getting bigger .all the time," the
South Easthope Township reeve
.averred,
"But because things are
bigger, are they any better? he.
asked. "And we all :know, in
municipal affairs, if it gets
bigger, it's going to cost more
money."
Warden Lange presented, in
behalf of Perth County, fountain
pens to Council members as a
Memento of his visit,
MEET MONTHLY
Huron County Council will
meet monthly, usually on the
last day or closest to it, and the
various standing committees will
also meet monthly on a given
day, effective in 1969, Huron
County Council decided at its
October session in Goderich last
week. However, the January
session will meet as usual each
year.
The rate of pay will continue
at $20 per day plus mileage for
council or committee meetings.
This is the maximum amount
allowed by statute.
On recommendation of the
Warden's and Personnel
Committee, Council re-vamped
the whole structure of
committees, basing the charges
on the fact that the School
Consultative Committee and the
Criminal Audit Board will cease
to function with the change in
school board procedure and
administration of justice.
Alternations are being made
in committee arrangements in
order that an equal balance of
committee responsibilities may
be shared by members of
County Council.
It was pointed out that in the
past some members would sit on
several committees with many
meetings, while others might not
even have one committee
meeting a year.
Commencing with the
January 1969 session, the
following arrangements will be
in effect with number of
members serving on each
committee:
Road, five; Huronview, five;
Health, three; Library, three;
Planning (now Industrial and
T o urism), five; Executive
(replacing Finance and
Executive, Warden's and
Personnel, Children's Aid,
Equalization), six; Property,
five; Rural Development (now
Agriculture and Reforestation),
five; total 37.
In 1969, total number of
County Councillors will be 37,
with a Deputy Reeve from
Tuckersmith Township bringing
it up to that figure. Each will
serve on only one committee,
with the Warden, of course,
being ex-officio on all
committees except Health where
he is so named.
In future, there will be eight
strong committees instead of 13
as in the immediate past, and 18
before that.
In presenting the report,
Harold Robinson, Howick,
committee chairman, explained
that newer members should
benefit from the new
arrangements.
Grant Stirling, Goderich
Township, favoured Council
sessions every other month for a
full day.
