authority at • a dinner
recently.
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.

nnxal reportk
The annual report released by
Goderich Elevators Ltd. records that
results • for the past fiscal year were
considerably better than earlier
forecasted in the six 'and nine month
progressive reports.
The profit for the yearended March 31,
1983 was $61),878 or $6.92 a share,
comparedswit i $866,174 or $9.60 a share
last year. 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.
