Ag, Rep. Reports Increase
In White Bean Acreage
c;ODER1C1 I -There bas been
:3:310 increase in white bean
acreage in Iluron, and a cor-
responding increase in the num-
ber of growers, Agricultural
Representative Douglas Miles
reported to county council.
"Beans are moving into al-
most every township except
1lowick and Tnrnberry. They
are au important cash crop,
and our fanners are reaching
out lur $ante dollars to carry on
their operations. Most growers
of white beans, 1 think, have
been pretty happy, but think
some improvement can he
made.
" While the weather is quite
dry, we in Iluron are fortunate,
compared to Eastern Ontario.
Some of the ag, reps. in Guelph
last week said they had not had
a good rain since 1963. Pro-
bably the only crops hurt here
at the moment are spring grain
and some white beans.
"Prices of livestock are pret-

In preparation for the inter-
national plowing match to be
held near Seaforth in 1ft10,100
acres have been seeded with a
grass mixture.
The minister has announced
a centennial farmstead im-
pro+emertt competition, and
Iluron could get a grant up to a
maximum of $1.800 for prize
money.
Reeve Leiper,1 lullett, re-
ported corn attacked by some
kind of grub. Mr. Miles said 70
acres had been found hit by
wire worst that morning, but
he did not think the general
situation was serious.
Mr. Leiper mentioned that a
neighbor had to sow five times
on account of wire worth.
Weed Inspector Alex Ches-
ney urged greater care in the
use of herbicides and pesticides

Report from Queen's Park
The anxiously -awaited
Goldenberg report on Metro-
politan Toronto was tabled in
the Legislature on Thursday.
Mr. Goldenberg recommended
that 9 of the 13 municipalities
of Metro Toronto disappear to
form the 4 cities of Toronto,
North York, Etohicoke and
Scarboro. The next question is
whether the Provincial Govern-
ment will see fit to implement
the recommendations contain-
ed in the report.
The Medicare 13111 received
third reading in the Legislature
this week but only after a de-
tailed, clause by clause study,
which in many cases provoked
bitter exchanges between the
opposition parties and the gov-
ernment. The debate in com-
mittee of the whole House last-
ed about 20 hours, over a per-
iod of six legislative sitting
days. The Bill will come into
effect on June 1, 1966.
The health estimates came
before the House this week. It
was pointed out during the esti-
mates that re -admission per-
centages for six of the largest
Ontario mental hospitals in
March ranged from 40-60% and
averaged 46% compared to a
provincial average of 38% in
1960.
The current session of the
Legislature, already a record
96 sitting days long, may fall
just short of reaching the 100
day mark. Most members feel
the present session will wind
up in the next two or three days.
The largest previous session,
1922 lasted 81 sitting days.
The length of the current
session will undoubtedly in-
crease the pressure for a fall
session although Premier Ro-
barts is opposed to the idea.
Many Decisions Are Made In Session
GODERICII-Iluron County
Council, in a busy three-day
session, trade sotne important t
decisions and deferred several
on new or controversial mat-
ters. A study of the county as-
sessment commissioner plan
will he made by the warden's
and personnel committee for re-
port in September. Though the
senior officer of the Labor De-
partment's construction safety
branch declared that"the mo-
ment of truth has come, "coun-
cil again gave a three -months
hoist to the appointment of a
construction safety inspector.
The same committee will re-
port in September.
"The longer we put it off,
the later we start to pay the
salary," remarked Reeve Clif-
ford Dunbar, of Grey.
Council heard from assessor
Alex Alexander that county as-
sessment is up $1,210,646
over last year, and at 15.5
mills will produce $18,765 ad-
ditional taxes. From EMO co-
ordinator Stuart Forbes was
heard an opinion that remunera,
tion should be provided for aux-
iliary police. From Inspector
Kinkead it was learned that
there is an uprecedented scar-
city of teachers.
A special committee was
set up to study the implica-
tions of proposed regional gov-
ernment. It comprises Reeve.
Reg. Jewell, Goderich; Reeve
Calvin Krauter, Brussels; Reeve
Robert Gibson, Howick; Reeve
Donald McKenzie, Ashfield;
Reeve A. Etherington, Usborne
and the warden.
Council was informed by
clerk -treasurer John Berry that
5, 000 copies of the forthcom-
ing Huron history --as yet with-
out a title --will be printed.
The book will be offered at
$5.00.
Council heard from its
members that much illegal
deer hunting is going on in
certain parts of the county.
Reeve Lorne Durnin said people
are shooting "without a season;
they have all the deer shot be-
fore the time."
The agricultural and refor-
estation committee, of which
Reeve T. Leiper of Hullett is
chairman, brought in a report
concurring in a request from
Huron Fish and Game Associa-
tion for an open seapan. This
had been recommended earlier
in the session by an officer of
the lands and forests depart -
COUNTY ENGINEER TO

James Britnell will represent
Huron at the Canadian Good
Roads Convention in Saskatoon
next September, all by him-
self. Council on Wednesday
adopted a recommendation
from the roads committee that
Mr. Britnell "be authorized to
attend,"
On Monday it struck out a
recommendation from the
same committee that the en-
gineer and road committee
chairman attend, with the war-
den as altemative. Reeve Grant
Stirling, Goderich township, is
roads chairman.

ment. Dissent was voiced at
once.
"The department is looking
to the revenue," said deputy
reeve D. Geiger, of Hay, "but
the farmers object to the hunt-
ers. "
"If open at the same time
as in the north country, it
would be mainly local hunters
in this area," said the warden.
"The season is going to be open
in Wellington, Waterloo, Bruce,
Perth, Grey and Oxford."
"Deer have increased in our
locality this past year," report-
ed Reeve Stewart Procter of
Morris. "I have been approach-
ed by several for an open sea-
son."
"It seems to me," remark-
ed Reeve Clifford Dunbar,
"sometimes we follow the lead
of other counties too much. We
have thoughtful and intelligent
people here. I don't like the
idea of an open season for deer.
The authorities are trying to
conserve wild life, and deer
are wild life."
The vote: Yeas, 11; nays,
26.
W.M.Jelly, from the Lon-
don assessment branch of the
department of municipal af-
fairs, gave a concise and in-
formative review of the new
legislation regarding a county
assessment commission.
"Subject to approval of the
minister," he explained,"coun-
cil may by bylaw provide for
the appointment of a county
assessment commissioner. Ap-
pointment of a commissioner
would be effective December
31, He does the work for all
the municipalities, and so
must hire sufficient staff, over
which he has full control. The
county must adopt his valua-
tions for the purpose of county
rates, which are deemed to be
the equalized assessment. This
simplifies county equalization,
and will make for better feel-
ing in high and public school
areas. County council sets up
the courts of revision for ap-
peals. The minister may pro-
vide for grants: (1) a stated
sum per annum for each county;
(2) 50% of the cost of new
equipment, not including of-
fice furniture; (3) $2, 500 per
year toward the rental of ma-
chines."
Four training schools have
been held so far, Mr.Jelly said.
Twelve counties have commit-
ted themselved including Wa-
terloo, Bruce, Kent, Middlesex
and Lambton and several cities
intend to assess on the new
manual.
"Values in the old manual,"
Mr.Jelly declared. "are almost
a quarter-century out of date.
The new one is for present-day
values. The main reasons ap-
pear to be changes in construc-
tion and the cost of materials
cannot be accurately valued.
This may cost more, but we be-
lieve the results will more than
offset extra cost."
Answering a question by
Reeve Clift, Bayfield, about ef-
fect on the mill rate, Mr.Jelly
'said: "The immediate effect is
to update the yardstick of
valuing property. It is the in-
tention to keep this current,
not let it get badly out of date.
If counties adopt this new sys-
tem, and with efficient opera-
tion, 25 years from now there
should be no need for reassess-
ment. It will actually reduce
the mill rate, because if it
goes up three times, and a
municipality requires the same
money, one-third of the pres-
ent mill rate would do."
County Building
Is Visited by
Elmer Farrish
GODIiRICII-Ebner J. Farrish,
a former reeve of Howick, re-
visited last Tuesday the county
building which council in his
time arranged to build, and
for which it provided most of
the funds. Invited by Warden
Glenn Webb to address council,
Mr. Farrish recalled that lie had
served four years on that body
in the old chamber, with ex-
terior windows on both sides
inviting the wintry gales off
Lake Iluron. Ile had sometimes
gone up to the courthouse attic
"built like a barn," and doubt-
ed if the timbers used in eon-
struction of that building could
have been replaced in Iluron,.
had it been necessary,
"In 1940-40," he recalled,
"council made arrangements
to have this building erected.
We were raising money each
year, with interest adding to it,
and before this building was
erected there was almost
enough to pay the entire cost,
so I feel we have an interest in
this building as well as the old.
"I moved the resolution that
the chapel on the train floor
he built as a memorial to the
boys who served overseas in the
South African War and the last
two."
