The province of Ontario has
renewed its lease with the county
for accommodations for the
Administration of Justice.
The lease is for a period of five
years commencing January 1,
1978 and calls for an amount of
$81,098.04 per annum or
$6,758.17 per month.
It was explained to council
members that the lease does
permit increases if necessary, but
not more than the consumer price
index for one year, except for
taxes and utilities.

section of the executive
committee. report with pride. That
section was the 1977 financial
report for Huron County which
showed a net surplus at the end of
1977 as $407,579.
"That's certainly a good way to
start out," said the warden.
The firm of Durst, Vodden and
Bender was reappointed as
county auditors.

Winter control costs in January
and February of 1978 have been
less than originally anticipated
while preparing the 1978 budget,
Huron County road chairman Ken
Campbell said Friday.
In the first two months, winter
control 'costs have totalled
approximately $183,000 which is
$87,000 less that the 1977
- expenditure of $270,000 in the
same time period last year.
"The weather ,conditions have
been more favourable this year
allowing us to use approximately
400 tons less salt," said
Campbell.
Campbell also told council that
tenders for hot mix paving and
gravel are coming in at a very
reasonable increase over 1977.
Lavis Contracting Ltd., Clinton,
got the nod to supply hot mix
paving for County Roads 16 and
3.
The road committee has
accepted the Champion Road
Machinery Ltd. bid for a motor
grader at $57,994. It was the only
bid received by the committee.
Inflation has hit the social
services committee. Additional
money was approved for welfare
recipients requiring dentures,
glasses and funerals.
As well, the income exemption
regulation has been amended so
that when dependent of an
unemployable welfare recipient is
working, less money is deducted
from the recipient's allowance.
This is in keeping with guidelines
in the General Welfare
Association Act established three
or four years ago.
The excess shelter allowances
have also been increased to a
maximum of $15 for a single
person and to a maximum of $25
for a family with unemployable
family heads. The client is
responsible for 25 per cent of the

A report entiteld "Ontario
Public Health, Some Current
Issues, 1977" was closely
reviewed by the Huton County
Board of Health.
In a letter of reply to Dr. Boyd
Suttie, Associate Deputy
Minister, Coattnunity Health
Services Branc;gof the Ministry of
Health, the .5noard of health
outlined its teelings clearly about
certain matters.
The board said it is not
necessary to estabish another
special purpose body, but rather
that the elected councils, at least
in Huron, should become the
District Health Council for Hu'Tn
with the Hoard of Health to
become a committee of council,
responsible to that council.
The board also feels funding
should be
province.
'shoudl not
provincial, since the board feels
municipalities, shoudl pay a share
and retain a voice.
The county court house, now 24
years old, is to have a new roof.
quotations were received for
repairs to the court house roof,
and according to Warden Gerry
Ginn, there were so many
variances in the prices and the
actual work proposed to be done,
it was decided to "strip the roof
and start over with a complete
new one".
Snider, Reichard and March
are to be engaged to prepare
proper specifications and tenders,
and supervise the work to remove
and replace the roof of the court
house.
__Bruce Ty4dall is the new chief
custodian at the court house,
replacing Jim. Sheardown who
retired January' 9, 1978.
Tyndall's salary is $14,040 per
annum.
