Grey council endorses
uniform building permits
(By Shirley J. Keller)
Persons building homes in
iron County will soon be paying
$15 application fee for plumbing
spection. County council
proved the recommendation by
e Board of Health at last
iday's session and hope to
crease the revenue in the
umbing inspection department
that it is not so heavily
bsidized by county funds.
According to the report made
Ed. Oddleifson, chairman of
• board of health, the present
umbing inspection bylaw
ovides for a fee of one dollar per
ture. As a result Many permit
••s are for two or three dollars
hich does not begin to cover the
st of making the necessary
spections.
In the first six months of
eration, costs were about
8,000 while, revenue was about
,000.
The chairman of the bard of
alth commented that in the
aril's opinion, the county
unicipalities should not be
pected to subsidize home
ilders. The Ministry ,of the
vironment insists on
spections and the costs should
added to the mortgage which
spread over a considerable
riod of time and is not a great.
ded burden to the owner.

homes anywhere in the county.
The total budget for the
Plumbing and Environment
Division of council is estimated at
$44,500 with the county's share
being $29,500.
The board is presently
negotiating a new agreement with
the Ministry in connection with
septic tank, subdivision and land
severance approvals. It may be
that additional funds will be
forthcoming which will reduce the
county's share of the budget.
The Property Committee has'
brought to the attention of the
provincial authorities insurance
claims totalling about $3,500 in
connection with vandalism to
county buildings and property
since October 1973. Adequate
policing during court sessions
have been requested by the

stray dogs. It was not a pleasant
thing to witness.Thc 'gentleman
said his solution to the stray dog
problem would not be a dog
catcher but topay a local resident
to n otify the owners of such dogs
and warn them to keep their dogs
confined. On the necessity for a
third warning the owner should
be fined. The catch in that
solution is the fact that in some
cases the owners are not known.
