might soon have to start paying
industrial type salaries to our
public representatives is a
warning. We have a glaring
example in the cost of
assessment in Huron County
which increased from $80,000 in
1968 to $196,000 for the year
1969.
There is much reason to care
and to be concerned Mr. Editor,
and very many taxpayers are
much concerned but they do not
talk. It is much easier to keep
quiet and prevent ruffled
feathers and maybe have less
friends in the bargain.
Yours truly,
Peter Deichert,
Zurich.

Constable Giffin listed

During the week there were
seven drivers charged under the
Highway Traffic Act and
warnings were issued to another
14. Two persons were charged
under the Liquor Control Act.
In his weekly press release,
Cpl. C. J. Mitchell gives the
following tips for drivers and
cyclists:
Motorists! Children on bikes
are everywhere these days, and
some of them are experienced,
safe cyclists ... but some are
not.
Give these young,
inexperienced cyclists the same
consideration you'd show if one
of them were your own child.
Always overtake them
cautiously . . . never startle them
with a sudden blast of your
horn ... and pass them with
plenty of room to spare.
Remember .. . your extra
care could save a young cyclist
from serious injury .. . and
possibly his life.
MOTORCYCLE SAFETY
Attention motorcycle
operators! Now that spring is
here, you'll be getting your bike
ready for use in the good
weather ahead. Make sure your
motorcycle is in good repair.
Remember . . . control,
performance and reliability are
affected by good maintenance.
Make sure you always wear your
safety helmet .. . don't forget
it's required by law.
Also, make sure you know
the rules df the road. They're in
the driver's handbook, available
from the Ontario Department of
Transport.
contributing factor to regional
government.
We will find that as local
control in municipal affairs (that
used to be of special concern to
the taxpayer and the public in
general) is taken away there will
be more apathy, not less.
We remember when there
used to be at least 10 school
sections to a Township, with
each section served by three
school trustees for very little
more than a thank you.
The taxpayer showed his
concern by being present at the
annual meeting where
information on education was
more readily available than it is
today when we have only one
representative per municipality
and may have less in the future.
It does not contribute to
increased interest to the
taxpayer. Are there any
advantages? Maybe to some.

County meeting by John
Pearson, regional studies

Members of Grand Bend
Council heard the 1968 financial
report as presented by the
village's auditing firm at a special
meeting held Thursday night.
The report showed a surplus
of $23,751.86 on the 1968
operation bringing to
V35,1$3.02 the total of surplus
accumulated by the
municipality.
According to the Municipal
Act, this surplus must he used to
reduce the 1969 levy but the
auditor noted this could not be
done without severely impairing
the village's cash position.
He recommended that an
amount equal to the
accumulated surplus be included
in the estimates for 1969 as a
reserve for working funds.
Grand Bend's debt to the
Ontario Water Resources
Commission was reduced by
$3,090.62 during the year and
the principal now stands at
$2,219,77 which will be retired
in 1969.
A request from the Grand
Bend Public Utilities
Commission for increased rates
of pay for members and the
chairman was revised and
approved.
The PUC letter asked for an
annual wage of $500 for the
chairman and $400 each for the
two other members with $25 per
day for meetings out of town
with $15 per day for meals and
10 cents per mile for travelling.
After consideration,
discussion and various proposals,
council sanctioned a straight
$400 for the chairman and $300
for members with no additional
pay for meetings regardless of
where they may take place. PUC
members will receive $12 per
day for meals while away and 10
cents per mile.
Councillor Ian Coles was one
of the opponents of the PUC
proposal, saying, "This is away
out of line. Look at their
responsibilities. They deal with
only one theme while council
deals with all facets of
government."
Beach committee chairman
Douglas. Martin reported being

Property committee chairman
E. R. Hopper reported that some
inadequacies had been found by
a fire inspector and all rooms
had to be painted with fire proof
paint.
A fire alarm system was also
deemed a necessity and tenders
have been called for this
installation.
He said some discussion had
been held in regard to enlarging
the X-ray and emergency
departments and a study was
conducted to see if more use
could be made of space in the
hospital basement.
However, the board was
advised to delay any decisions
until the development of
Centralia Industrial Park can be

future needs of the hospital.

Dear Sir,
Re the question on the
editorial page, "Do they really
care?" referring to the stand that
the Tuckersmith council took by
passing a resolution as follows:
The proposals for regional
government to date are unjust
and would place a much heavier
tax burden on rural areas.
You wonder whether people
really care. Sure they care or
those council members would
not hive made an effort to have
their views on the problem made
known to the public including
the Ontario government.
You say that apathy on the
part of the taxpayer is
considered the greatest single
