Authority ty reported at the ori 's .gendral meeting held at the Wrmtd erheadq uarters here November 25, that for the eastyears the four levy do pparticipatingnuad '_ties has been between six and eight per cent of the budget. However, because of reduce! provincial funding, Shiell says municipal levies in 1982 will probably be between 11 and 12 per cent. Presenting the Ai thority's preliminary budget estimates for 1982, Shiell reported the trial edimate for 1982 has been set at $917,000 with $670,585 to be supplied by provinciah grants and the remaining $246,415 to beraisedby the Authority. The approved budget for 1981 totalled expenditures at 9818,450 with $581,740 supplied by the province and $236,910 by the Authority. The pteliminary budget for 1982 will now be forwarded to the Nfinishy of Natural Resources for approval. Both Shiell and Authority general manager, Bryan Howard said the Aitlhority had revised ib complete budget a few weeks ago after being advised that provincial funding to all Authorities was being substantially reduced. However, a few days before the general meeting, the Maitland Authority was heather advised that cutbacks might not be as drastic as had been Robert J. McClure, of the Southwestern Regional Office, also assured Maitland Authotfty members at the general meeting that funding allocations did not look as bleak as a few weeks ago. He indicated the Authority "came through fairy well" regarding allocations and noted members weird be " a little more pleasedthan a week ago." Authority chairman, Dave Gower, expressed gratitude for not only the good news but to Mcg for his assistance. Of the budget estimate ®f $917,000 for 1982, the Authority proposes that 9194,700 be spent en ad- ministration, $94,100 on non eligible expenses, ;x,500 on water and related land management projects, 1;266,000 on the organization's special project, improvement of the Listowel charnel and $54,7110 on conservation and recreation land. In presenting her interim financial report, Shield reported that an analysis of Authority budgets over the past four years indicated provincial grants provided 63.9 per rent to 73.5 per cent of the total Authority program. From 1978 to 1990 provincial funding averaged 't .8 per cent of the total $2 million General levies for the same three-year interval accounted for $355,175 or 17.8 per cent of the total expenditure. "The local share of the 1982 preliminary budget is 26.9 per cent of the estimated total expenditure," Shie11 said. "A general levy of $155,000 would represent about 17 per cent et the budget estimates and an increase of 11.8 per cent over the 1981 general levy." Until mid-November administrative expenses consumed 84 per cent of the budget but costs related do the operation and maintenance of the Authority properties have exceeded the 1981 budget estimates bY PAIR The secretary -treasurer said part of the over - expenditures will be covered by an increase in revenue. "Revenue generated from Conservation Area gate receipts and miscellaneous sources has amowted to $48,186," she said. "Camping fees collected at Wawanosh Valley and the increased fee schedule implemented at the Falls Reserve Conservation Area have netted mproximately 96,500 additional revenue in 1981 and interest on short-term investments has generated an additional697." tetal Exeter is ooking for new industries EXETER - The indoastrial promotion committee in Exeter have reported that daritag the past year seven industries have requested. information on the cwm- munity in their search for locations.

The property mittens a wide variety of forest cover, a creek, trout stream, trout pond and a rostered log cava. The property already has a developed network of trails used for outdoor education activities and by Juicers, skiers and fishermen. While the donor wishes to remain anonymous, the donation was made to ensure that the management program now in effect on the land will be maintained. Under the terms of the donation, the Authtty assumes all resportelility for survey, appraisal; legal and ant severance costs. The items would be sub- ject tofuunding under a previa' ial grant scheme. The Authority believes that a master plan, mewed by a private consultant, should be done in 1982 and that the plan should be finalized before any managementordevek meat activities are pursued. Prior to eampletion of the master plan, the Authority wild follow the general practice of applying for provincial approval of interim property management and development funding. The funds would cover the costs of sings,,fencing and the con- struction of temporary roadways and parking facilities. The Authority has recommended accepting property in two parcels from the Maitland servation Foundation and the Rolm stry of Natural Resources will be contacted for approval end fein- ting. The Authority's share of transfer a�ad master plan costs will be raised by donation through the Maitland Conservation Foundation. The management and development of the property f will be subject to grants from the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Authority's share of the costs will be raised by general levy with all municipalities designated as benefiating in proportion to the assess- meatof each within the watershed,. 0e Y e B EAVERS .
