Town council approved the action at Its regular meeting Monday evening and passed the necessary bylaw "The town needs funds for working capital," said Reeve Bill Clifford, chairman of the finance committee "It Is either this or we borrow the money " Another reason, according to Reeve Clifford, is that by collecting the first tax 1100 in March, the workload at the town office is equalised throughout the year "But this Is by far the lesser of the two reasons," said Reeve Clifford Last year, 50 mills was collected April 5 However, town administrator Harold Walls Bald the town needs money earlier than that to avoid the high coal of borrowing. "We need money right now," said Mr Walls. He in. dlcated that he would probably be suggesting to council that other tax bills be made collectable on June 5, nal July 5 as last year. and October 5, "You realise a tax bill on March 5 Is hard on people," observed Mayor Deb Shewfelt."

Outlining a Hydro scheme to promote ceneervation in industry, commerce, agriculture and private homes, Bill Metfalfe, the regional commercial and Industrial application supervisor far Hydro. said the utilities had a moxa• moth job In the next few years to make conservation plans a reality, Mr. Metcalfe said Ontario Hydro's present plans for increased generating capacity matched against the province's current growth rate separate in 1980, 0e growth rate surpassing the supply He said the only wan to avoid brown and blackouts in the ext decade is to con. terve energy now and to cut the growth rate by one Percent. One percent saved now would allow Hydro to provide electrical energy to meet demands over the nen 10 years at (east, Mr. Metcalfe said.

He said the buildings are lit round the clock and up until now very little has changed in that regard despite lights s night requests to shut the 0ghts off at night Mr Metcalfe pointed out that Ontario sister of energy Dennis Timbrell had rued a group of businessmen recently that hew sick and tired" of asking them to shut off lights and If they weren't going tilde it he was Educational focllities are e third i powuse u e and Hydro hasalready 1n slructrd hssards of education in the provmee to take every step possible to conserve energy The boards are also nsliurted to detail energy uses and report them to the province to allow the ministry to determine what can be done to rut down energy use Small retail outlets, automotive centres, hotels, motels, restaurants and recreational facilities come next on the Ilse and Mr Metcalfe said they were the concerns of the local utilities He sold that in the next year Hydro panned to have every one of the businesses au veyed and this would be carried out by the local utilities Along wllh the .small retail outlets, mall industry will be surveyed by the utilities in the next two years Mr Metcalfe sod most large industries had. already developed energy conservation' proerums that are working but the provmee'1 11,000 plus small factories and plants would be the responsibsllty of the utilities Stan Stewart, a conservation officer specialising in agricultural and residential fields, outlined the con s vation program for the private sector Mr. Stewart told the utility of- ficlal that Hydro had made upgrading of building standards and standards for home appliances and efficiency and economy of electrical space and water healers a priority for the next two years. He said Hydro had dropped the practice Of Inspecting new homes for insulation but planned In the very near future to go back to trying to ensure that theits un areproperlyineu ,0 octad. 01 said Hydro had' hoped that le in building 'nspeeton could handle the inspections but the inspectors were either too busy or were not qualified to do theI oh or in many cases were non -ex intone NEW LIFESTYLE NECESSARY He pointed out however that the biggest hurdle Hydro faced was con- t in the public to alter their lifestyle to conserve energy He said the current peak period of power consumption Is from four o'clock in the afternoon until seven in the evening but that could he altered if changes were made In some people's lifestyle. '11 we could convince people to operate their dishwasher once a day instead of three times, if we could get people to their laundry once a week' instead of three times, or if we could even get people to shut off their televisions when they're not w^taching them we could save enormous an mounrmous ats of power,' he claimed. Hesatd there ere many flagrant cases of electrical waste In the average home. Instant- on televisions waste energy, keeping refrigerators at Just above freezing when 40 degrees will do, keeping hot water temperatures in water heaters unnecessarily high and leaving televisions on for hours when no one Is watching, art obvious wastes that happen regularly in nearly ev8ry home "Hydro has never told people they can't do things but has suggested that IJ they don't need electrical applocances n or Itghts on get them off." said Mr. Stewart.

The catalogue contains information about the property including taxes, type of heating, mortgages on the property and also con- tains information vital to the prospective buyer. It lists going rates for mortgages and costs a buyer will face if he takes the plunge and buys the house he likes. Board executive officer Lynda Smith said the catalogue removes the error prone system previously used by MLS brokers. She said in the past when property was listed under MLS the in- formation was put on a special form and one copy was photocopied for each, member broker. She said that copy was then sent to each broker and the broker distributed the information to sales staff. The time con- suming effort sometimes resulted in incorrect in- formation and quite often if a change was made on the property listing it was several days getting to all the brokers. When the board elected to go to the computerized system it divided the county into districts and the listings were summarized in the same way. The districts are based on geography and include the five county towns and a group of townships. Only member brokers are entitled to the Huron Board's MLS service and can make use of the catalogue.
