The Clinton native served as vice-chairman of the authority for five years before serving the two-year chairmanship. He is suc- ceeded by Gary Bean of Exeter. In a speech to the group, Flett reflect on his seven years involvement with the authority and some of the major developments. In 1976 municipal authorities were disbanded and the province formed county -wide authorities to handle housing needs. It required a period of adjustment for management and staff, Flett said, but improvement in the quality of administrative procedures was soon evident. A major development during his term of office was when county council agreed to the demands of the local authority to have municipal agreements replaced with resident requirements within the count* boun- daries. Many other counties followed that lead. It was a first for Huron County and later the government expanded the resident requirement to .include the entire province. Since its inception in 1976, the county authority has opened seven new senior citizen facilities in Bayfield, Blyth, Clinton, Goderich, Seaforth, Wingham and Zurich. Flett recalled that the aughority's porfolio of 1976 contained many facilities in a poor state of repair. "With favorable budget conditions in the late 1970s a systematic restorative action was instituted and facilities are now in a good state of repair," he said. "Due to this action, our portfolio during this restrictive budget level period can be maintained by using preventative . main- tenance." Flett said he is of the opinion that replacement of the association with a special committee with input to the Ontario Housing Corporation members through chairmen and managers, was a sound move. Ile said it would help reduce the administrative machinery required. Seven years was a maximum level , of service, Flett said, adding that his retirement would give other members a chance to par- ticipate and present a new approach to old problems.

Revenue for the year was $3,874,621, compared with $4;159,589 for last year. Although earlier reports predicted poorer results, the share value tamed out to be the second highest for the company, behind only last year's record value. . 1 Grain handled at 435,170 tonneswas the fifth best Year. The report states that an increase in handling charges and im- proved operating efficiency accounted for the profitability. The directors are not predicting any results for this year. The report stat that although navigation opened much earlier this year because of an open winter on the lake, this does net necessarily mean an increase in volume. It continues to say that prospects are not that promising in the short tern. The company is encouraged by a promising Ontario wheat crop for July and August, and also by the fact that the Goderich harbour facilities may be improved. a
