"WI despite provincial "Due to provincial fipan0i re straint," William Elston, reeve of Morris and chairman, Ofthe Huron County Road Commit said Friday at the March sites, in Goderich, "the Departmalta Transportation. and ComnnR tions . has reduced the sub i allotment to the minty from $826,000 in 1971' to $693,000 year." The total amount budgeted o> ' roads and bridges including De , velopment Ro0s, the efiat'r? man's report stated, "is dovi►d $259,000." County Engineer Jim Britnell said this represents a 13.9 per cent decrease to the county and a 19.1 per cent decrease in the -sub- sidy allotment. "All this when we can expect a 10 per cent increa$e' in costs," added Mr. Britnell. The taxpayers of Huron County, however, will likely pay the same mill rate for county roads in 1972 as they did in 1971,. Included in the budget is a $79,004 reserve fund for the roads de- partment. According to Clerk John Berry this represents about one mild to the taxpayers. . "Our total requirement of $738,000 of County funds is identi- cal to our 1971 levy," reported Mr. Elston. "Our recommenda- tion for the Reserve Fund is as a result of discussion with C. S. MacNaughton and Department of Transportation and Communica- tions officials. It is felt that DTC financial arrangements will be reviewed in 1973 to allow the. county to increase its road pro- gram next year from the 1972. level when it will reach its lowest level in five years -15.2 per cent lower than 1971."• "The Reserve Fund will be re- quired to finance our share of this. revised arrangement in 1973," explained Mr. Elston. Goderich Deputy Reeve Dave Gower questioned the wisdorti of establishing a reserve fund in the road department at a time when the total county budget is "prob- ably up". "I'm concerned about the overall picture to the munici- palities," stated Mr. Gower. He wept on to question the method by which the overall bud- get for the county is set. He said that since all department budgets are approved before there is an opportunity to assess their total effect on county spending, it is difficult to control the overall pic- ture. Reeve Charles Thomas, Grey, concurred. "We pass the depart- ment budgets, stated Mr. Thomas, "and then we look to see if we're up over the previous year." He said there could be some merit in seeing the entire tax pic- ture,. at once, and; then, if nec- essatry, making eats in various departments. "Apparently that's the way the province does it," added Mr. Thomas. Belgrave James Coultes of Brampton spent the weekend with his par- ents, Mr. and Mrs. Norman Coul- tes. Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Hill, *R 1 Tavistock, Miss Iris Johnston of London spent the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. George Procter and attended the Procter -Kelly wed- ding: Rev.

He said it is his understanding that if the -majority of council is dissatisfied with the total budget picture, changes could be made in certain department budgets even though they had been ap- proved previously. Stanley Township's Anson Mc- Kinley, said he is concerned about the budgeting system of county council. "I have been con- cerned about it since I came into county council," stated Mr. Mc- Kinley, "but it seems to me we're tied to the system. Our system may have faults, but I haven't an idea for a better one." "Priorities at the municipal level tend to be set by the provin- cial government priorities," Mr. McKinley went on, "even though. the two may not be compatible. We should be working for a sys- tem whereby we at the local levels set our own priorities." "I'll predict it is in the future, but I don't know when," Mr. Mc- Kinley concluded. "It is impera Live that it come and we must be ready to accept the responsibili- ties that will go with setting our own priorities. If we think this is a debate this morning, wait until we start setting priorities.' This will seem just like a Boy Scout af- fair." Mr. Britnell also praised a sys- tem of "unconditional grants" from the provincial government. He said a brief asking for essen- tially that -very thing had gone from the road committee to the DTC. The idea, Mr. Britnell said, was for a lump sum to be given to the county annually, with county officials having the responsibility to spend it as they found necessary. "Can the county afford a 're- serve fund for the road depart- ment?" asked Mr. 'Gower. Chairman Aston said the road committee was not in favor of cutting the mill rate one year, and increasing it the. next. He said the preferred method was to keep it constant whenever possible., "We thigk it is a ,aqua, idea to keep a continuous mill rate of 10 mills," stated Mr. Els, ton. Mr. Britnell noted that if it was ' not possible to spend the reserve on roads in Huron County in 1973 as expected, the reserve fund could be transferred to another department. He also told council that because of the drastic cut- back in road spending in •1972, fewer summer and casual laborers will be engaged by the county this year.

The Eighth Lockridge Memorial Midget Tourna- ment is.now history: In ways it met the committee's expectations, in ways it exceeded them. Inevitably there was the occasional disappointment. As usual, the highlight was the co-operation extended by the community. Talking with the visiting team officials teaches us that i'he prime difference between this and other tournaments is the hospitality of the Wingharh area. This includes the excellent welcome the boys receive where they are billeted, the efforts in the arena kitchen,, the arena staff who are so obliging, the young people who also work in the arena, the den. eral attitude of the residents of the town and area, the work of the game officials and on and on. The proof lies in the number of teams that ex- pressed the desire to be invited back Next year. It is the hope of the Tournament Committee that when we offer our thank you to the many, many people involved you realize how sincere we are. For without your help, the Tournament would be dn''im- possibility. With, your assistance, it is again a definite success.
