The Wingham Advance-Times, 1965-04-01, Page 3W. Cuthill Takes Oath GODERICH' M the opening of County council's March ses- Sion, Warden Qlenn Webb made appropriate reference to the recent sudden death of Reeve Nelson C.Cardno, of Seaforth. "We were shocked by news of the death of our Colleague," Mr, Webb said. "Most of us had known him a little over a year, and realize we have lost a very capable member of this council, and certainly we have lost a friend. I am sure the deepest sympathy of this coup- cil is extended to Mrs. Cardno ' and the family." • Carl Dalton, former deputy, is now reeve of Seaforth, and the new deputy reeve, W. Cut- hill, was sworn at the opening session. A vacancy on Seaforth council remains to be filled. Reeve Norman Jones, of Hensall, was taken ill on Thurs{ day, and Dr. R. M. Aldis, MOH, drove him home, Mr,Jones re- layed through the clerk an invi- tation for all members to at- tend the semi-annual session of Huron Municipal Officers' As- * sociation, to be held in Hensall, on May 26, 4 1 R • R. tabor Dept, Official Insists County Hire Inspector GODERICH-" I should not have to speak in favor of obey ing the law," Supervisor R, K. Cleverdon, of the Ontario labor department, remarked to Huron County council in course of a renewed presentation on the sub- ject of a construction safety in- spector for the county. He pointed out that Section 6 of the Construction Safety .Act requires that each county council "shall appoint one or more inspeotors, who shall en- force this act and the regula- tions. "I have been sent up," he said, "to draw again to atten- tion that this has not been done by this county, and to suggest to you now is the time some- thing must be done about it, If you do not, I do not think the government will drag any of you off to court, but on the other hand we feel we are for- tunate in having people in this province who are conscientious individuals desirous of main - 1963 DODGE SUBURBAN V-8, Automatic. 1963 STUDEBAKER V8, Overdrive, Radio, 4 -Door, Economy and Comfort. 1961 PLYMOUTH 8, Auto., Radio, 4 -door. 1960 METEOR 4 -DOOR, 8 Automatic, Radio, 1959 CHRYSLER 4 -DOOR 1955 FORD 4 -DOOR 1962 AUSTIN VAN 1961 VALIANT STATION WAGON 4 -DOOR.

I hope froth this meeting to get some , forward step," Mr, Clevexdon announced an amendment, soon to be law, re- moving the option of towns, villages and townships to opt out of the county inspectorate and appoint an inspector of their own. Councillors asked many questions, some of them previ- ously propounded to Eric Good- man at earlier sessions. Mr. Goodman, who introduced Mr. Cleverdon on this occasion, is supervisor for a district includ- ing Huron, Perth, Bruce, Grey, Dufferin, Waterloo and Welling ton. To Reeve Clifford Dunbar, Grey, Mr.Cleverdon said it may be possible for a part-time man to do the job. He knew of a case in which one man cover- ed overed two counties, but "the geo- graphy of your county makes me skeptical. However, we are not talking about a high-priced engineer; perhaps $4, 500 and mileage." Qualifications are four years' experience in building construe tion supervision. Most import- ant, Mr, Cleverdon said, though not laid down by statute, is to get the right man. "Not a single construction job in this county is covered, " he said. "A contractor can do as he pleases. An inspector would cost about 12 cents per person per year, and you might raise building permits and get most of it back." Answering questions, Mr. Cleverdon said demolition jobs and highway construction come under the legislation. "Mr.Cleverdon has given a very clear story." Warden Glenn Webb said at conclusion of the presentation. The mat- ter will be referred to the war- den's and personnel committee for possible report at the June session." "See you again in June," the supervisor promised.
