The Kincardine News reported that the Bruce County Board of Education recently ap- proved their budget of $21,520,244, an increase of 6.8 percent over the 1977 budget of $20,147,387. Along with the budget in - cease comes a taxpayers' increase of 4-2 percent in education tax this year for Bruce residents.

The Goderich Town Council has a rather smelly problem on their hands, reported the Goderich Signal Star, and the problem is skunks. Council learned at their last regular meeting that some properties in Goderich are being invaded by skunks and council has been asked to get rid of the problem. Council members bandied with the idea that killer traps be made available to people who have a skunk problem. There would be a $10 deposit fee for the trap, to be refunded when the trap was returned. There was some objection that the town not get into the "killing" business and it was also noted that dogs and cats might get caught in trap. The proposal was finally left for further investigation. The Mitchell Advocate reported that the members of the Mitchell council are considering the idea of having local residents voice their problems to the town's government on television. The manager of the local cable television company has offered the council air time one night a month in which a question period would be aired`.
