Council decided to permit
seismic testing for oil and gas
along county road rights-of-way,
after hearing it may have no
right to refuse.
County Engineer Jim Britnell
told council it probably has no
choice but to allow the testing,
though it can impose conditions
and demand compensation for
any damages.
The tests are to be carried out
by two companies working for
Shell Canada Ltd. They will cover
the western portion of Huron
County in addition to parts of
Middlesex, Lambton and Bruce
Counties.
The procedure involved, Mr.
Britnell explained, is drilling a
borehole on the shoulder of the
road and then inserting and
exploding a dynamite charge.
Recording equipment traces the
shock waves created by the
- explosion which can give clues to
locations of oil, or gas deposits.
However, the explosion could
also fracture municipal or field
drains, he warned, causing
damage which might not show up
for years.
He said he has obtained a
guarantee from Shell it will cover
the cost of any damages and
suggested each municipality to
be tested obtain the same
assurance. The county can only
approve testing along its roads,
he noted. Tests along any
municipal roads must be ap-
proved at the local level.
Questioned whether a township
could refuse permission, Mr.
Britnell indicated Shell probably
has the right to conduct the tests.
He added he would like to see
someone refuse, to see what
would happen.
"I'd prefer they (Shell) just go
away," he said, but added we
probably owe it to the country, in
view of the fuel situation, to allow
exploration.
"Does the county get royalties
if they strike oil'?" Goderich
Township Reeve Gerry Ginn
inquired. Mr. Britnell responded
he doesn't know who owns the
mineral rights under road
allowances, "probably the
crown",
Metric signs ready
About 300 metric speed limit
signs have been prepared and are
ready to go up September 30, Mr.
Britnell told councillors, The
signs are marked in kilometers
per hour instead of miles per
hour.
The new signs will read 50,
rather than 30, in towns and 80,
Jo-tiller than 50, on highways.
They will bear a kmlh
designation in the corner to
remind motorists of the new
standard of measurement, Mr.
Britnell said.
He also reported: "It looks like
we're going to get some money
back for the tough winter." The
county has applied for more than
$51,000 in extra subsidy for winter
control costs, though it has not
yet received the allocation from
the ministry of transport.
The council decided not to
support a resolution from Essex
County asking the ministry to
base the extra subsidy on "other
than the abnormal winter of
1976".
The subsidy is hard enough to
get now, road committee
chairman Robert Lyons declared
"If we change it again, we might
not get it in time for next year."
Mr. Britnell added that any
gain through changing the fun-
ding formula would probably be
slight, since the amount of money
to be allocated is fixed.
He also said the effects of the
severe winter on the road and
bridge construction and main-
tenance program are not yet fully
known, warning it may be
necessary to cut back on some
items to stay within the budget.
Assistance requests up
John MacKinnon, social ser-
vices administrator for the
county, said requests for
assistance are up to 281 for the
first three months of the year,
compared to 216 last year. Actual
expenditures during the first
quarter rose only 8.42 percent,
however, he said, noting this is
usually the heaviest period of
assistance.
The library board told council
it has authorized the Huron
County Library to participate in a
