Although the' question wasn't answered
specifically, the executive committee re-
port states.the employees' salaries are to
be increased by $150 bi-weekly,
Executive committee member Dave
Johnston said that, "rightly or wrongly"
the tw9 men have received the finders' fees
in the past. He compared the situation to a
hypothetical example where an employee
has the benefit of a company car taken
away but is compensated financially.
"This is straightening out a matter that
does not seem proper in the eyei of some
members of the public," said the Bayfield
reeve. •
Some reeves suggested • the practice
remain as it is or that the two men receive a
bonus at the end of the year.
However, Exeter Reeve, Bill Mickle
suggestedthat the subject of remuneration
be dealt with at contract time. He added
that the role of investing money is part of
the clerk's and deputy clerk's job .and there
shouldn't be extra remuneration.
Reeve Johnston said the county had
accepted the' past practice for a number of
• years and to do away with remunera- ,
tion now would be going too far 'the other
way. • . , '
• "We'd not be supporting ouremploy-
ees," said Reeve Johnston:Several reeves,
told their colleagues that the extra money

is spent, said the reeves, on clearing up
estates and selling off homes of those

• Ma -fay Elston, Liberal MPP for Huron •
Bruce, has been named Opposition Critic
for Commerdiat/Relations at Queen's Park: ,
Elston, MPP for the riding since 1981,
retains the post of Environment Critic.
In his capacity, Elston sits 'on the front
bench of the Liberal Caucus.
The appointment ,was announced by
Opposition. Leader David Peterson, and is
part of an eight person reorganization of
the Liberal Caucus.
Elston takes the job in the midst of a
wave of deregulation in the financial
industry.
'`The traditional role of the four pillars of
the industry -- insutance companies, trust
companies, banks and securities brokers --
is changing," Elston said.
,"Following the collapse of several trust
companies, these institutions will' have to
be closely monitored in order to provide
maximum protection to consumers and
investors;" he added. "Liberals are not
convinced that the Tories are prepared to
do this.'"
Elston, a lawyer, previously, held the
position of Liberal Critic for the Solicitor
General's Department, and is a member of
the Legislature's Justice Committee.
