Reeve Elston complains about voters' lists
Morris township reeve Bill Elston would
rather correct voting lists in his township
than campaign for a two year old girl's
vote. Reeve Elston complained to
Huron-Perth assessment commissioner
Floyd Jenkins after Jenkins told country
council Friday that the voters' lists
prepared for the 1978- municipal elections
were well done considering what his staff
had to do to prepare them.
Jenkins told council that his staff worked
very hard preparing the voters' lists and
despite a shortage of time brought about
by the change in the election date made
very few errors. Jenkins conceded that
therewere errors onthe lists but told council
that the percentage of error his staff had
making all the' necessary changes on the
lists was exceptionally low.
He told council that the updating of the
voters' list required enumeration, notating
all changes in the lists, key punching those
changes and getting all the work done in a
little over two weeks. He said the job was
"mammoth" pointing out that the work
was all done by staff that only work on the
voter's lists five days a year.
Jenkins said the changes in the voters'
lists involved new people moving into
municipalities, people moving from place
to place within the municipalities, people
purchasing property, and voters coming of
age since the last election two years ago.
He told council the enumeration was
done in five days and the results of the field
work meant 60,000 changes to the voters'
list that involved over 100,000 key punch
changes. He said all the key punch changes
were done in 16 days. He added that for
every 100 key punch changes the
percentage of error was .003 percent which
he said was "very, very low."
Reeve Elston was not convinced the tax
department did such a good job on the
lists. He said the voters' list in his
township included people that were not
Canadian citizens, listed people two or
'three times and even had the name of a two
year old girl on it.
"If this is a good year I'd hate to see a
poor one," said Elston.

Congratulations to the Brussels Figure
Skating Club for the successful Interclub
Competitions hosted here on Sunday.
Special congratulations to the Brussels
Figure Skaters who displayed the technique
and skilful performances that gave the
Brussels Club top spot over the seventeen
clubs entered, ahead of Wingharn and
Stratford clubs who placed second and third.
This accomplishment of our local skaters
speaks well of their individual dedication to
the perfecting of this graceful art and to the
quality of the coaching they receive. May
you go on to even better things in the future.
