Gerben Wynja, R.R. 4 Seaforth, acted as spokesper- son and read off about 14 questions the group wanted answered. Wynja said his and his brother's farms were on- ly 200 to 300 yards from the Varley farm. He said that their land would decrease $500 to $600 an acre in value with the land fill so close. The delegation was told that farm values should not be affected by a nearby landfill site, but some of the delegates were skeptical and one said he would be seeking a lowering of his assessment if the site should be chosen. John Brownridge, Tucker - smith's representative on the Seaforth Landfill Committee, said that if the site was chos'en it would be screened by a row of trees and enclosed by a fence.

Brownridge answered that most municipalities in the county had adequate landfill sites at this time and he was sure they would not be in- terested in an incinerator program. Audrey Cameron, who lives on the road many of the gar- bage trucks to the Varley site would take, spoke of her con- cern that the road would be littered with waste blowing off the trucks. "I don't want to be picking up other people's garbage off my lawn", she said. Reeve Robert Bell admitted this had been a problem at times in the southern part of the township but that it had improved. One of the delegates brought out the fact that there are many springs in the area and this would cause pro- blems. Brownridge said this should be brought to the notice of the officials and, that this would be discovered Snow here this Friday James Snow, minister f transportation and com- munications, will be in Huron County on Friday to official- ly open the Forster's Bridge at 10 a.m. County engineer Bob Dempsey said the provincial minister is coming to open the bridge because it is the largest ever built by Huron County and the ministry pro- vided extra funding in the amount of $638,000 over and above regular funding. Dempsey said the estimated cost of the project is $1.4 million, but he expects it will come in considerably lower. The project, to re -construct the 550 foot, four -span bridge, was started last year. Demp- sey said the 1983 work was estimatred to cast $757,000 but actually $670,000 was spent. This year work is expected to cost $424,000 but no final figure is know because the work is not complete. There will be some carry over work for next year, added the coun- ty engineer. The bridge is located on County Road 31 north of Homesville and north of Highway 8. The official opening will be followed by a private gather- ing at the Benmiller Inn. • Are you between 60 and 71?

He said the hydrologists would take many tests. "We would not want to put it there if it was not a suitable site," Brownridge assured the delegation, "I don't want to see it causing trouble for peo- ple or damaging the environ- ment, the water." Reeve Bell said that there would be public meetings held later if people feel their con- cerns are not being answered, but that he hoped John Brownridge had answered some of their questions for now. Bayfield Conservation Authority, attended the meeting for a white pine tree planting ceremony at the township office grounds, to mark the Ontario bicenten- nial anniversary this year. Falconer spoke to council of some of the projects of the authority such as the new ad- ministration offices opened this summer, land erosion problems. Sheelagh Lawrence, com- munity relations officer on the route and site selection department of Ontario Hydro, discussed Ontario Hydro's in- vestigation of a route from the Bruce Nuclear Plant to Lon- don and the involvement of the municipality through which the route would be going. She said the original site chosen by Hydro had been turned down and now they are proposing building a transmission line along a new route, to be ready by May. She said the township would be kept aware of progress of plans. In his report to council, Allan Fotheringham, road superintendent, said he had tenders for the 580 feet of sidewalk the Department of Highways had approved on the main road from Victoria Street to North Street, on the west side. Council accepted the tender of Jim Holland for $6,201.55, the lowest of three received. Work is to be com- pleted by October 31. Council passed a bylaw pro- hibiting the assessability to children of abandoned ice box, refrigerators and other containers stored outside because of the danger of children suffocating. Doors must be removed. Ernie Bryant of Vanastra - was given approval in princi- ple by council for Block D Plan 131 to be subdivided .in- to seven lots for building houses. The lots would be 75 feet by 92 feet. Council approved the tender of Adolph Geiger to do the stone work on the original gate at Vanastra when it was the Canadian Forces Base. His tender was for $1,600 and the tender of Steve Rathwell of Vanastra for sandblasting and painting the ironwork for $400. Passed for payment were the following: Day Care at Vanastra, $6,332.87; Special Day Care at Vanastra, $3,619.64; Vanastra Recrea- tion Centre, $11,663.75; roads, $27.274.04 and general ac- counts of $72,541.58'for a total of $120,431.88. 1 SENIORS CONVENE — The annual zone convention of Huron senior citizens was held in Dashwood. Shown chatting are Aldeen Volland, Hensoll; Annie Morenz, Grand Bend; Florence Martene, Dashwood and Ruby Beaver, Exeter. No more commission Clerk, deputy get boost Starting in the new year, commission from the invest- ment' of trust funds will be paid to the Corporation of the County of Huron instead of to the clerk and deputy clerk., Huron County Council, by a recorded vote of 18 to 10, ap- proved the administration change which has sparked controversy over the past few months. At the same time, council increased the salaries of both the clerk -treasurer - administrator and deputy clerk- treasurer by $3,900 a year. Currently the clerk - treasurer -administrator receives $46,228 while the deputy clerk -treasurer receives $39,000. The question of the• com- mission received by these two employees was turned over to the county's executive com- mittee earlier this year with the intent of bringing back a recommendation to county council. The recommendation calls for any commission payable from investing trust funds or other county funds at Stan- dard Trust and Victoria and Grey Trust Company, both in Goderich, to be turned over to the corporation. "Huronview Trust Funds shall be invested at all times to the benefit of the resident and :within the guaranteed limits of the trust company. Other county funds shall be invested to the best interest of the County of Huron," states the recommendation approved. Earlier this year, deputy clerk Bill Alcock said both he and the clerk-adminstrator receive a finders' fee for in- vesting about $3.4 million of Huronview residents' assets. The two county employees also received for the first time, a finders' fee for in- vesting county reserve funds this year. In 1979, county council ap- proved of both the clerk and deputy clerk becoming agents for Victoria and Grey. At that time Victoria and Grey was the only trust company around but recently Stran- dard Trust has come into the county. At the beginning of this year county council added Standard Trust to the agreement. The $3,900 is an average of the fees received by each of the two men over a five year period, said executive com- mittee member Reeve Brian McBurney. Morris Township Reeve Bill Elston asked if the $3,900 would be added to the employees' salaries or would it remain firm every year. Ile was concerned about the $3,900 "mushrooming" if it was added as the salaries are increased by percentages every year. Although the .question wasn't answered specifically, the executive committee report states the employees' salaries are to be increased by $150 by -weekly. Executive committee member Dave Johnston said that "rightly or wrongly" the Iwo men have received the finders- fees in the past Ile 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 eyes 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 suggested that the subject of remuneration be dealt with at contract time. He added taht the role of in- vesting 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 remuneration now would be going too far the other way. "We'd not be supporting our employees, said Reeve Johnston. Several reeves told their colleagues that the extra money covers the extra time spent by the two men ad- ministering the trust funds. A lot of time is spent, said the reeves, on clearing up estates and selling off homes of those Huronview re idents. Cler tre surer- adminisato Bill Hanly told council t one of the trust compa fes will not return a commission to the county corporation because it • is against its policy to give a finders' fee to a municipality. Those voting in favor of tur- ning the commission over to the corporation and the $3,900 fee were: West Wawanosh Reeve James Aitchison, Ashfield Reeve John Austin, Hay Deputy Reeve Tony Bedard, Tuckersmith Reeve Bob Bell, Goderich Deputy Reeve Jim Britnell, Warden Tom Cunningham, Exeter Deputy Reeve Lossy Fuller, Reeve Johnston, Colborne Reeve Russel Kernighan, Hensall Reeve Harry Klungel, Brussels Reeve Cal Krauter, Reeve McBurney, Exeter Reeve Mickle; Stanley Reeve Steckle, Stephen Reeve Alan Walper, Stephen Deputy Reeve Ralph Weber and Goderich Reeve Harry Worsell with two votes.
