Valid The Seaforth Huron Expositor carried in its last edition a story to the effect that the Town of Sea- forth had not received notice re- garding the recent meeting at which a vote was taken to set up the Maitland River Valley Conser- vation Authority. As a result, that municipality registered a protest with the Ontario Department of Commerce and Development, which conducted the vote. The protest had no validity, how- ever, as the Department sent nut the notices to each municipality by registered mail and has on file signed receipts for the notices. The Village of Blyth claimed that no notice had been received, but the same holds true for that community as well, The vote required a quorum, of two-thirds of the municipalities in- volved, and then a two-thirds ma- jority of the quorum for the scheme to carry. As 18 of the 23 municipalities involved bad dek- gates at the voting meeting, and 13 of the 18 voted in favor of the conservation authority, the vote was valid and action towards the inauguration of the new authority will continue.
