Council
continues to
press county
over surplus
EXETER - Exeter Council refus-
es to let the Huron County surplus
of $1.25 million issue die. Reeve
Bill Mickle began the discussion
with his concern of fairness in the
allocation of county funds for mu-
nicipal improvement. "We should
continue to protest: one million for
county (or really township) roads
• and one-quarter million for waste -
I mean waste management", said
Mickle."Now that rebates are gone,
there is a real unfairness as to what
we have to pay for and what rural
municipalities don't have to pay
for."
Councillor Roy Triebner asked
the Mickle what sort of support
could he expect at the county.
Mickle replied that not even all ur-
ban municipalities realize that the
change in policy has meant. "
There is real unfairness. The
townships want as much as they
can get, and that's understandable,
but do you realize that we're short
about $85,0001 The local taxpayer
has to make up that shortage. Is that
fair?" replied Mickle.
Council approved a request to the
county for a copy of its Roads Pol-
icy to determine exactly what qual-
ifies for financial assistance and
what does not.
