The Premier's visit started off rather shaky as a crowd of Pro -Life protesters gathered, raised their signs and told Premier Peterson to "remember his pro- mise" when he stepped out of his car. The Premier did not acknowledge the protesters with an answer, but turned to spot "his favorite bakery," which is Bartliffs. Inside, the decision was made to open the proposed closed meeting to the public as the Premier's office thought the Huron Cotinty officials wanted it closed and vice versa. The meeting brought out the major con- cerns of the county, which included economic developmerfbt, the widening of Highway 8 and the present landfill situation. "I want this to be an open, frank discus- sion," said Premier Peterson. "I want to hear your concerns," •Goderich's Mayor, Eileen Palmer, opened the discussion by telling the Premier, and MPP Jack Riddell, thSt the five mayors of the county get together to discuss their con- cerns. One of their more prominent con- cerns is that of economic development. Exeter Mayor Bruce Shaw said he saw part of the the ecorrOmic problem stemming from government grants. "Some municipalities get grants, while those who • hold their own, don't," said Mayor Shaw. As an example, he. used the Protective Plastics company which had . moved from Huron Park to Brantford. By doing so, they received a grant. •:i ay Mr. Riddell further enlightened the Premier by, explaining the company was either to consolidate or move from their location in Huron Park. "They decided to consolidate when they knew full well money was available (if they went to Brantford)," he said. However, Mr. Riddell said he had been talking to a representative • of the Huron Park industrial area and he said they did not have any problems bringing industry to that area. Mayor Shaw said he felt a policy should be devised to distribute the grant money so that the communities don't have to compete to the extent they are now. To that Premier Peterson said, "I can't fight you on that. "We don't stick our nose in economic Ievelopment," he continued. "We don't say 'You must go here or -there.' We try to keep a neutral hand." Mayor Palmer then switched the topic to improving access to Huron County, which she believes will help attract industry. ,,.. On this subject, the five mayors presentees a brief to the minister of transportation and communications who, in turn, suggested an economic development plan be prepared for the county, which has been started. Clinton Mayor John Balfour voiced his opinion on access to Huron County, saying, "The single most importatnt access is Highway 8. There needs to be four tan's from Kitchener to Stratford and a passing lane,' where needed, from Stratford to Goderich. As it is now; there is a bad bottle neck." Mayor Balfour told the Premier that bet- ter access to the county would benefit the towns in two ways. Stylish Spring &• Summer Fashions For Her... 1Outstanding fashion bhys from Peoples!

Premier Peterson asked Mayor Balfour if he was talking about cottage development. "You can only 'support so many cottages in the area. There are other attractions. "We shouldn't just look at one type of development, We'd be narrow minded," said Mayor Balfour. He then pointed out the difficulties the far- ming community is having saying they have supported Huron County for a long time and are now looking to the county for help. Mr. Peterson agreed, saying, "To farm to- day you need an off farm income." Landfill Assistance One of the ,,1:►post timely discussions cen- tred around the landfill site issue. Mayor Palmer told the Premier that "you no sooner meet the requirements (of the Ministry of • Environment ) then you're thrown back to square one ( because' of policy changes )." Alf Ross, Mayor of Seaforth, used his ex- perience as an example for the Premier. He said Seaforth and Tuckersmith Township had been trying to find a solution to their landfill site problem for 60 months, and "once we found it, we couldn't afford it." He said Mr. Riddell's office worked close- ly with the two municipalities and are now becotning part of the Holmesville site. "I'm concerned with the funding (of land- • fill site operations). It's very, very expen- sive. The government needs to sit down with the municipalities and discuss funding - It's quite a challenge for your government," said. Mayor Ross. The Goderich Mayor agreed, stating, "This issue has to be addressed immediate- ly. There are 26 municipalities in Huron County and about half of those are in distress now or will be in distress." The Premier answered by saying, "I hear you but'I don't know what to do With it...You don't want to pay tore taxes but we can't treat it as irresponsibly as we have in the past." Another problem the'Prernier admitted to not having a solution to was that of agriculture. DE ®MME FLOWE1.z SH®PPE INC.
