Grant cuts defeated
The cutting of grants to the Women's In-
stitute (WI), the Blyth Festival, the Huron
Country Playhouse and the Mid Western On-
tario Rotary Music Festival were also
debated.
In defense of the $15 grants that have been
given in previous years to the three WI
districts, Reeve Armstrong reminded coun-
cil of the contributions that thisorganization
has made to the county.
Grants of $1,200 each for the Blyth.
Festival and the Huron Country Playhouse
were also struck from the preliminary
budget.
In opposition, Blyth Reeve Wasson noted,
"We feel strongly that it's not so much the
money we get from the, county, but the sup-
port. The theatre wants to know that Huron
County is behind them."
County councillors voted. to re -instate
these grants and, increase the WI grants to
$25 each. As well, the $200 donation to the
Rotary Music Festival was put back into the
budget.
As in the previous year, the county put
$300,000 towards the museum building pro-
ject. The county is waiting word of further
government funding to help offset costs
already incurred onnthe project. Budgeted
at $1,457,938 in 1987, actual monies spent
totalled $2,033,205. This year $1,344,608 has
been budgeted.
New health programs
Health services figures for 1988 are set at
$1,661,091 ($1,496,167 in 1987). The rise was
credited to the hiring of a new medical of-
ficer of health and a significant new number
of health care programs and equipment
purchases.
The health budget includes a $75,000 grant
to the Seaforth Public Hospital. Also given
in 1987, the money is been awarded to the
hospital in an effort to bring financing up to
par with .other county hospitals.
An additional large expenditure in the
1988 budget includes $130,000 for the waste
management study. In 1987 $60,000 was
budgeted for this project.
Master plan
for hospital
expected soon
Master plan, program
expected by end of July
The master plan and master program
for the Wingham and District Hospital
could be back from the architect by the
end of July, the hospital's board of gover-
nors has been informed.
During a management committee report
presented at its regular March meeting,
the board was told the committee hopes to
have received the master plan and master
program by that time.
Property committee chairman Bob Mid-
dleton made the announcement while
presenting the report in the absence of
management committee chairman, Dr.
Brian Hanlon.
In November, the board decided to go
ahead with the preparation of the master
plan and master program in another step
toward developing the course over which
the hospital will proceed during the next
ten years. Before that, a role study was
carried out and some of the recommenda-
tions from that study were finally approv-
ed by the board at it February meeting.
In the master plan and master program,
the architects have looked at the existing
facility and based on what the board in-
tends to do over the next ten years, will
make recommendations on how those
measures can be accomplished.
Once the board has received the com-
plete master plan and master program.
from the architect, the documents will be
forwarded to Ontario Ministry of Health
for its approval.
Any actual construction is not likely to
begin until somewhere in the 1990s.
