The Goderich Signal-Star, 1982-09-29, Page 17Program savings should go into job creati
BY JACK RIDDELL,
MPP
A one-year restraint pro-
gram has been introduced by
the provincial government,
which imposes five per cent
wage controls on 500,000
public employees and
regulates prices and fees set
by provincial agencies. This
program would extend ex-
piring collective agreements
by one year, and would limit
the wage increase to five per
cent, or roll back increases
in the second year of existing
contracts. It would also ban
strikes by public and "para -
public" workers • for • the
duration.
Provincially regulated
prices are to be reviewed by
a Cabinet Committee on Ad-
ministered Prices, which
would have the power to
reduce or delay them.
The Provincial Treasurer,
Frank Miller, told the
Legislature that the pro-
gram is not an attack on the
public sector, but is an at-
tempt to avoid cutbacks and
layoffs in this sector while
lightening the burden of
government on the economy.
In addition, an Inflation
Restraint Board is to be•
established to administer the
wage restraint and ad-
ministered prices program
and to monitor wage and
price increases in the public
sector.
Covered by, the restraint
program are provincial,
municipal,, agency, board,_
commission, university and
school board workers;
Brewers Retail prices for
beer;. hospital and nursing
home workers, including
physicians on salary at
hospitals, ambulance ser-
vice drivers, group home
workers; Crown Corporation
employees; tuition fees;
TTC workers; elected of-
ficials and judges;
employees of charitable
organizations funded by the
province such as the
Children's Aid Society.
Also to be controlled are
hydro and natural gas rates;
Blue Cross and Green Shield
insurance premiums, GO
Transit and inter -city bus
fares; government licence
fees and Ontario Place ad-
mission.
Not controlled bythe
restraint program are doc-
tors who provide service -for -
fee, workers earning less
than $15,000 a year in other-
wise controlled jobs who
would get slightly more than
a five percent raise -
between $750 and $1,000.
Also not covered by the
program are OHI.P
premiums and most private
insurance premiums, TTC
fares, Bell Canada telephone
rates, rent hike ceilings,
public housing rents, and
food marketing boards.
Mr. Miller estimated the
program will save the, pro-
vincial government $840
million and other govern-
ment bodies $350-560 million,
based on the assumption that
Workers would have settled
for 12 percent increases.
Both the public sector's
right, to strike and the bin-
ding arbitration process
have been suspended, and if

into job creation.
"We will be pushing hard

said. "We need an ambitious
economic recovery program
now. Otherwise, this five
percent program will
become merely a gimmick
to deflect the heat of
economic mismanagement

'NOTICE
OF
INTENTION TO DESIGNATE
HERITAGE BUILDINGS
In the matter of The Ontario Heritage Act, 1980, R.S.O., Chapter 337, Part 4,
And in the matter of the lands and premises set out below, in the Province of Ontario:
Notice of Intention to Designate. Take notice that the Council of The. Corporation of the Town of
Goderich, on the 20th day of September, 1982, decided to designate the lands and buildings, set
out below as a property of historical value in interest under the Ontario Heritage Act, 1980,
R.S.O. Chapter 337, Part 4. Short statement of the reasons for the proposed'designation:
THEWARNOCK-HOUSE , 34 Albert St. N., has
been recommended for designation for ar-
chitectural reasons. Although John
Brackenridge built the house around, 1885, it
was occupied by the Warnock family for over
a half a century. The house is an excellent ex-
ample of Italianate architecture uncommon
to Goderich. This large; brick structure is one
of the earlier residences to locate in the east
ained a dignified manner set ppart from the
nd of town on Albert Street. It has since re -
neighbouring houses by its unique style and
massive lot. On the east end of the lot stands
the original coach house.
iiia vwnnvn rgOtIsE n
65 Montreal Street, built
around 1850, has been recommended for
designation forarchitectural reasons. This
large home is a Georgian style residence pro-
portioned by large front windows and two end
chimneys. Other details on the house are im-
pressive including the Palladian window, the
decorative brackets and stone lintels and
keystones. The first and second storey veran-
dahs surround the house and wind past the
side to the garage. The house was once the
home of James T. Garrow until he became. a
Supreme Court Judge and later a Local Judge
of the Canadian Exchequer Court.
THE HOLT NOUSE • 138 North Street, has been
recommended for designation for historical
and architectural reasons. The house, built
around 1889, was the long time residence of
Judge Philip Holt. In 1902, Holt became Junior
Judge of Huron and served frequently as a
warden oLSI- George' s_Anglican Church- The- __.
house is a departure .from earlier simple
styles with a Targe, .low hipped roof and side
bay window. The .stained glass details and
decorative gingerbread enhance the aesthetic
qualities of the house and property.
THE APARTMENTS , 116 West Street, have been
recommended for designation for architec-
tural reasons. The building is a fin,e example
of the Neoclassical style of architecture
characterized by its rectangular shape and
low pitched roof. Additional Neoclassical
details include the elaborate entranceway
and the large dormer windows. This frame
structure, now blanketed in stucco, at one
time possessed a gallery which stretched the
length of the front facade. Although changed,
the front entrance is still quite impressive and
the fine proportioned windows are no longer
hidden.
THE HARBOUR PARK INN 168 West Street, built in
the late 1830's, has been recommended for
designation for historical reasons. The inn is
one df the oldest ,buildings inGaderitli• built.
for Thomas Mercer Jones, Canada Company
Commissioner. The inn was once quite an im-
pressive residence and center of lavish dinner
parties,._bal.ls..and_garden_ parties -T -her -e -were
halls, drawing rooms, and many bedrooms
heated by ten firesplaces constructed of Italian
marble. In 1852 Jones was dismissed by the.
Canada Company and became an agent for
the Bank of Montreal. Junes returned to
Toronto in 1857 when Mrs. Jones died, and
the residence was converted into Bonk of Up-
per Canada offices and later a hotel. The
original structure has since been quite altered
by change in ownership and by a 1945 fire.
THE LEWIS HOUSE 19 Wellington Street, has
been recommended for designation for ar-
—ehitee useh�easons. Built• -around 1865, the
house is a classic example df' an Ontario Cot-
tage. Ontario Vernacular, the !oral .cottage
form, has a spacious porch and lowpitched
roof. Its corner lot is among magnificent
neighbouring houses set upon large lots. The
cottage .character is strengthenedby these
homes and set further apart by its unique
shape and handsome window details. The
windows, in a variety of sizes, are fully or par-
tially decorated with lead screening. The front
entrance is quite detailed and covered by a
roofed porch. • ' `
THE O'ROURKE COTTAGE . 85 Anglesea Street is
recommended for designation for historical
and architectural reasons. It was built around
1862 by Thomas Van Every as a labourer's.cot-
tage and rented to Peter O'Rourke, a
teamster who kept two horses on the proper-
ty. O'Rourke bought the house in 1868 and the
property remained in the family until 1901.
'The house is built in the Ontario vernacular
_____v_er...sion of _the .Picturesque style, with a. rec
tangular centre hall plan and a central peak.
Picturesque elements include the central
peak, scalloped -wooden trim' on the main
window headings; and the round -headed win-
dow in the peak with its polygonal 'heading.
The picket fence surrounding the property
helps, to frame this delightful and authentic
labourer's cottage of the mid nineteenth Cen-
tury.
THE HURON COUNTY MUSEUM 110 North St., is a
distinguished work of architecture in the
Elizabethan style. Constructed in 1856 as "a
school house, the building, which is two
storeys in height, has civic grandeur as
witnessed by its symmetrical principal
facades to the north, south and west and pro-
jecting gabled front and twin gabled wings to
the side. The wall materialis mostly
a warm orange brick reminiscent of the
Netherlands, which greatly influenced the
Elizabethan style, but with stone banding and
framing to the windows and front elevation,
On the side elevations the stone Changes to a
„rest laggita.,r thivaneyts_ ..
flank the,side elevations. The building's prin-
cipal facades are close to the.original design
and represent therefore, o fine opportunity to
c-anserve- an example of Elizabethan styled
-civic bu-iWing stock.
NOTICE OF OBJECTION TO THE DESIGNATION MAY BE SERVED ON THE CLERK WITHIN THIRTY (30)
DAYS OF THE 29th DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 1982.
