Huron Tries To Clear .Up
EMO Misunderstanding
By ' R. 5, Atkey
Huron county council, at its
June session in. Goderich last
week, attempted to "clear up"
any "misunderstanding" that
might have existed during the
time of the tornado which st-
ruck the southern parts of the
counties of Huron • and Perth
this spring, and to "clarify"
.the role of EMO in the county.
Everett Mcllwain, Goderich
• township, chairman of the war•
den's and personnel committee,
charged with the responsibility
of clarifying what seemed to be
---'a-murky situation, told the coun.
cii that even in committee thdre
did not seem to be full agree.
ment as to the status of emer-
gency measures organization in
the county of Huron; "The
members of the committee feel
that we should clarify our stand
in this county, and hope the
newspapers publish a full re.
port sof this for the information
of the ratepayers of the county,".
he declared;
'There was flttle misunder-
standing during .the time of the
tornado, and there was some
criticism' of the county of Huron,
We think this should be cleared
lip with a statement of policy.
. THE REPORT
The' committee report, as
signed' by Mr. McIlwain and
adopted utntnimously by County
Council, was as follows: '
"The Committee feels that
the functions of the emergenPy
measures, as far as the'County
of Huron it concerned, should
be clarified -to avoid any mis.
understanding. • •
"Basically, the County stayed •
in the erriergency measurespro-

ario for equipment which ryas
on hand. When it was decided
last year. to..curtail the emere.
ency- measures program, the
initial thought was to disband
the organization completely;
however, upon further investig-
ation, it was discovered that a
.more reasonable approllOh
would be to curtail the program .
but at the same time to appoint
an acting. co-ordinator.
'"As it stands at the present
time,. the emergency measures
department has a small amount
61 equipment which • could be
made available under certain
circumstances. This equipment
is very limited in scope.
"However, one feature of re-
taining this organization, allows
for possible assistance through
other"•' c%annels. In the event of
an emergency it is possible
_.that assistance can be secured
through the emergency, mea-
sures branch. On • the other
hand; as was the case recently,
assistance was secured through
the efforts of our Huron county
road department."
The committee's policy vas"
outlined in_ the< report: "The
committee feels, that in future,
when an emergency . arises
'where outside assistance might
be required, the reeve of the
municipality or a responsible

ulation and at the same time
an increase of close to one

essment of the county, featured
the report pf county assessor
A. A, Alexander, to Huron coup- .
ty council in Goderich last week.
Total population again has
dropped' from 49,279 to.49,234
a decrease of 63 for the whole
county. These figures do not
include those living in defence.
housing, hospitals 'br instit-
utions,
The over-all assessment has
increased, by $979,250 in the
past yeah, whereas it was up
$1,025,495 in the previousyear.
Proposed county equalization is
$67,544,939, made up as,. fol. b
lows: farm land, $22,085,616;

housing, and, wives `of all cot-
tage owners, who are Cana-
dian citizens, are required, to

rolls.
NEW SYSTEM SOON
He pointed, out that at least
24 counties . of the 38 in Ont.
ario are now in the assess.
ment commissioner system; as

them ' Ontario. It appeared to
him that all counties will be

county 'showed increase,inpop.
- (dation' during the past year,
while every one of the 26 had
an increase in total assessment.
