"People felt free to come to Chas but they never approached me with anything _frivolous, they always had a a genuine problem," he said. . . The greatest thing you can do as an MPP is 'the help von can give your constituents," he said. And Mr. MacNaughton's contributionsto the Huron tiding are numerous.--:-Arnong--- the tops in his hook is ,the development of -Huron In- dustrial• Park in 1966 and the Centralia , College of Agriculture at the former CFB Centralia Base, which was pur- chased in 1966. He said that .the establish- ment of the Goderich Psychiatric Hospital, which was opened in .193, was _another, memorable event in his tenure as MPP., Among other achievements during Mr. MaeNaughton's tenure was the establishment of the Regional Assessment Office in Goderich in 1969; the setting up of the regional office of On- tario Hydro near Clinton in 1971; the building of the Lake Huron Water Supply Plant in Stephen Township in 1967; the establishing of Point Farms Provincial Park in Goderich; and the startingof the Hullett Wildlife Project.

"If we're going to have a blanket "no" on non -planned development in rural areas," said McKinley, ''We're going to need tax policy to compensate. The concept of preserving agricultural `and goes far beyond Huron County., Perhaps it.would be a good thing if the provincial government was asked to -use. some of our ideas in this." McKinley added that in hiF1 opinion, it was "discrimination" against the rural ,'-munic-ipalities `,when it: was legislated that develop- ment could ,only „occur in the urban areas. He felt the UDIRA study might have some answers, but he urged council to "take it to government". Davidson said, that since the Land Division Committee came into being in August 1971, it has rendered 330 final decisions on applications. "Of these. 87 percent Or 286 were approved, 12 percent or 39 were denied and one percent were withdrawn," reported Davidson. "M`lich' ofthe discussion, therefore, revolves around -the denial of ;39 ap- plications. Of these about two- thirds involved . site problems such as poor soils, access, flooding etc. Only 11, about -three percent, were denied strictly ori grounds or location, that is, scattered development' or ribbon development. "While the severance procedure tends to be the most visible, the 'subdivision process. is by.far the most active," con- tinued Davidson. "In ap- proximately at the same period, the Planning Board recommen1 ded approval' of subdivisions creating some 373 riew lots, two suhdivisiqns comp isTing57:lots �wFe recommendedfor denial, and subdivisions encompassing 188 lots -are under active, con- sideration." "The main difficulties in the Land Division Policy section. would appear 'to be centered around the creation of non - farming residents in rural . areas," said Davidson: "Thee - Draft Plan reflects provincial policy in this area and no at- tempt was undertaken during the preparation of the Plan to research this topic in an exten- sive manner " - Seminar planned Set February1.for7 During the lunch break, a drug board will be on display with two people to explain any questions about it. • First thing in the afternoon, Dr. Frank Mills, Huron County Medical Officer of .
