Damages totalling $1,900 were sustained in two accidents in- vestigated this week by officers of the Pinery Park detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police. Wednesday a vehicle driven by Robert Soldan, 125 King Street, Hensall struck the front window of the Brewer's Retail store in Grand Bend. Constable P. M. Clushman set damages at $800. Constable R. D. Hendley in- vestigated an accident Sunday on old Highway 21 near Port Franks. A vehicle driven by Ron Herd- man, 86 Sunray Crescent, Lambeth struck a hydro pole. Damages were set at $1,100. During the week, six cottages were broken into in the Port Franks area and property valued at $180 was stolen. Planning director Gary Davidson said the planning department now has an assistant who does much of the ground work toward the preparation of secondary plans, but he said only a qualified planner can compile this data and prepare proper plans for county municipalities. He pointed out that student help during the summer of 1974 had resulted in the collection of research materials for seven municipalities and it is this material the planning depart- ment is most anxious to convert into secondary plans. , Reeve Everett McIlwain of Goderich Township told council it should not get the idea that a planning trainee would hasten the preparation of much-needed secondary plans. "Possibly there is a place for a trainee but just don't get the idea that we're going to get a planner with the qualifications of say, Stephen election Continued from front page -v:._, tt cpntralia trailed the field'with 1,131 votes. Cecil Desjardine was named Stephen reeve for the 'next two years by acclamation, He steps up from deputy-reeve to replace the retiring Joseph Dietrich. The position of deputy-reeve will be filled by Kenneth Camp- bell a current member of council. He was also acclaimed. The other member of the 1973- 74 Stephen council Stephen Dundas is unable to continue due to ill health. Vandals attack .car and school - One theft and two vandalism incidents were reported in the area this week, A pant suit valued at $50 was taken from the car of Valerie Fenton, while parked in Huron Park. On Saturday, a parked car own- ed by David Paul Miller, RR 2 Dublin, was attacked by vandals in Centralia. Damage was es7 timated at $300. Five spot lights at Usborne Central school were broken over the weekend. A 29-22 recorded vote of Huron County councillors showed that members were not in favor of hiring a planning trainee at a salary of $8,500 in place of a qualified planner as previously agreed. That vote rejected the recommendation of the planning board submitted to county council by its chairman James A. Mair, and sent the matter back to committee for further deliberation. Present indications are, though, that many county councillors believe the county should engage another qualified planner at whatever cost is necessary to expedite the preparation of secondary plans for all municipalities. Estimated salary for such a person is bet- ween $16,000 and $18,000 an- nually. In speaking to the recom- mendation of his committee, Deputy-reeve Mair said that the planning board recognized it would take some time to turn a' trainee into a qualified planner, but he said the board had found any qualified applicants expected a much more substantial salary than the county was prepared to pay at this time. A salary range of $12,000 to $13,000 had been suggested. "If the board were to advertise again the position of a qualified planner, salary ranges would have to be increased and this in turn would mean salary ranges of our present staff would have to be reviewed again," Mair pointed out. BILL BAIRD DOUG KINCAID HAROLD GREEN Chosen as Grand Bend Councillors in Mondays election Nick Hill," pointed out Reeve McIlwain. Mr, Hill is a qualified planner already in the county planning department, Deputy-reeve of Goderich Township, Gerry Ginn reminded council that ground work such as a trainee would do, could be done by summer students. Last summer the government sub- sidized these students at the rate of 80 percent, He advocated hiring a qualified planner for the fulltime post. "It is foolish business to hire someone you probably don't need when you can get work done at an 80 percent subsidy by hiring summer students," Ginn told council. 'Municipalities are waiting for secondary plans. It is not good business to hire someone we don't need at $8,000 a year if we can hire someone we do need at $16,000. Stephen Township Deputy- Reeve Cecil Desjardine of the planning board said that if council is prepared to readjust the salaries of all the present planning board staff, it could hire a ,qualified planner. at "what the market demands" as Ginn had suggested. He recommended however, that the trainee be retained "I think you'll find a place for him," said Desjardine. Reeve Deb Shewfelt of Goderich pointed out that if the 17 municipalities still waiting for secondary plans were each to hire their own planning con- sultants at an average cost of $6,000 each, it would be expensive as well. "It is a good business approach to call for a qualified person who is capable of handling the full responsibility of planning," said Shewfelt. Reeve Charlie Thomas of Grey Township warned that training someone in the department might "burden the present staff" and even slow down the planning process in Huron. "It is foolish to spend $8,500 on something we don't need," said Thomas. Deputy-reeve Stan Profit of Goderich reiterated a statement he had made at earlier meetings. "Maybe the municipalities should do a little for themselves," he said. "How imperative is planning to you people?" Reeve McIlwain said the whole county is "underwriting the cost of the planning department" and has a right to expect service. Deputy-reeve Ginn added that there would be "greater con- - Please turn to Page 12 Contractor could be stalled by lack of four easements Have Your Beef or Pork CUSTOM SLAUGHTERED KILLING DAYS MONDAY & WEDNESDAY Darling's Abattoir and Food Market ?HE Place To .Buy Meat Aommiki. 'rho new Anne St, storm drain presently under construction may be held up unless four local property owners agree to provide easements on their properties Exeter council learned this week, Councillor Ted Wright Said he was concerned about the situa- tion, noting that "it could cost several hundred dollars" if the contractor is held up on the pro- ject while easements are being secured. "We can't fool around," he warned. Works superintendent Glenn Kells said that the contractor could reach the properties in question within two weeks and work would have to be halted If the easements were not Signed, "We'd better get on the ball question. The ministry had agreed that the sanitary sewer could be con- structed and then be deleted from the overall sewer project planned for next year. The estimate for the Work was listed at $6,000 by the engineer. However, Kells reported that one bid received had been for double that amount and that if a second bid being submitted later this week was not lower, it would be better for council to replace the tank and septic bed and forget the sanitary sewer Alter- native at this time, He estimated the CoSt Of replacing the septic system at $900. A decision in this regard has been held in abeyance until the second estimate is submitted, the easement from the town's solicitors and in fact had been wondering what, had caused the delay, "They're waiting on us," Wright explained. Kells was asked to contact the solicitors and determine the reason for the delays, Re was also asked to interview the other owners involved to see what ac- tion Should be taken to avoid delays for the contractor. Another problem associated with the project was aired in a letter from B. M. Ross, who noted that the work would disrupt the septic tank And weeping tile bed at one location and he suggested that council consider constructing 200 feet of sanitary sewer on Andrew St. north of Huron rather than replacing the tank and bed at the property in and get some results," Coun- cillor Ben Hoogenboom stated. He wondered why the people hadn't signed, noting they were among those who would benefit most from the Storm drain which IS being constructed parallel to the existing drain in an effort to alleviate flooding in the core area. Councillor Ton MacMillan said he thought three of the four property owners Were prepared to sign following a meeting with council a couple Of weeks ago, but he was advised that no easements had been signed by the four ratepayers its question. At this point, Wright left the meeting to talk with some of the land owners by phone. He return- ed and advised that in one case, the land owners had still not received the amended copies of
