Eastwood says assessment budget
won't be printed in the newspapers
The cost of 'assessment for
Huron, its increase or other-
wise since Provincial takeovt'r,
has been a topic of considerable
-discussion during the . recent
Huron by-election and w• as
again brought up Monday in a
London Free 'Press article by
Joe McClelland.
As Mr. McClelland's article
puts it,' "Depending on whose
figures you accept, 1 t,
•�l the Huron
�n
Perth regional assesstilent unit
is costing anywhere frol_i
$500,000 to $1,000,000 to
operate, compared with less
than $30t)-,000 before the
prllv1nce took it over in 1970
The Free Press story quotes
Barry Eastwood, regional
assessment commissioner, as
saying one figure noting the
assessment -office as a $500.000
business was "close to factual."
In an interview with the Signal
Star Mr. Eastwood again con-
firmed this. '
Mr. Eastwood will not
however release •figures to show
just how much the assessment
office is costing the people Of
Huron and Perth Counties.
"I'ni not going to publish'•nv
budget in'' the local
newspapers,'' he explained.
• Mr. Eastwood feels that it is
just not fair to compare costs of
threie years ago to present costs.
Todays staff must he better
qualified, he explains, and that
costs more. "Salaries in general
have gone up about 10 per cent
each year anyway," he adds.
When asked if 'he would at
anytime he releasing the
operating costs of his depart:

that at the end of each year the
Queen's Printer publishes the

"Never knowingly undersold"
ment departments and by con-
tacting the printeq anyone
could get budget figures.
The Free Press quotes Huron
County Council "sources" as
saying that in "addition to the
permanent complement of 54
employees in the regional office
there are also temporary
workers bringing the total to 85
persons."
Mr. Eastwood, in the same
story, gives his staff ,as num-
bering 54 and further notes
that this represents a decrease
of three since 1970 from the
authorized complement of staff.
On Tuesday' Mr. Eastwood
noted that how the Huron
County 0ounut1 would know so
much about his operation, "was
beyond" him.
During, the election campaign
Goderich lawyer Dan Murphy
was quoted as saying it cost the
assessment offlt.:tt' $830,000 in
salaries. Mr. Murphy was cam-
paign manager for the suc:
cessfu1 Liberal candidate Jack
J 1ddel1
"I don't know where they get
these figures" Mr. Eastwood
said in the Free Press inter-
view, "but $800,000 is not even
dose to the projected figure for
two or three years hence."
The assessment com-
missioner further points out
that 'getting assessment for the
Huron Perth region all under
one roof effected a "tremendous
saving." It eliminated the
duplication of administrative
superstructure cdsts and of
facilities and computerization
hits cut costs bywne quarter, he
explains.
,.
F.xplaininf, the present 1
need
for expansion dPthe assessment
office Mr. Eastwood points to
the fact that up till now a sec-
tion of the regional staff has
been working in the field, but
most of the work is now in the
office and there isn't enough
,room. Hence the proposal to
tear down the adjacent county
jail wall to make room for an
office addition.
