Deputyreeves
may haveto go
BY JEFF SEDDON
Deputy -reeves may be
eliminated from county
council if not for ef-
ficiency of the elected
body then because there
is no room •left in the
council chambers for
• more politicians.
Huron County council
was told Friday 'by its
executive committee that
a recommendation on
representation on county
council would be brought
'to the March meeting for
discussion. The executive
committee reported to
council that several'
municipalities in the
county were close to the
status of sending a
deputy -reeve to county
council. The committee
pointed out that the size
of council would probably
increase within the two
year term councillors are
now serving. The com-
mittee pointed out that if
nothing else council faced
a problem finding space
in the council chambers
for the new represen-
tatives to sit down.
The committee ex-
plained three methods
council could use to
determine representation
at the county level. At
present any municipality
with 1,000 or • more
electors sends a reeve
and deputy -reeve to
council. That figure could
be changed so "that only
municipalities with 2,500
or more electors send a
deputy -reeve or each
municipality send- one
representative to council.
If council made the cut-
off for deputy -reeves
2,900 electors all town-
ships but Stephen would
have one representative.
Of the five county towns
only Goderich and Exeter
would, send a deputy -
reeve.. to county council.
Village representation
would remain the same
and the size of council
would be reduced from 45
members to 29 members.
Goderich township
reeve Grant Stirling told
council there was merit
in the plan to reduce the
size of council. He pointed
out that at a time when
the population of Huron
County is dropping
political representation
at county council was
increasing. Stirling said
it was time council took
"a good look at it".
Morris tbwnship reeve
Bill Elston argued that if
the size of county council
was reduced it may be
ineffective if the absentee
rate was similar to
Friday's. Elston pointed
out that if as many
members were away
from a 26 member
council as were away
from the 45 member
group there "wouldn't be
many members here".
Elson went on to suggest
that "pretty soon there
won't be any ,need for
county council at all".
Adhoc committee formed
An adhoc committee to
investigate a proposed
airport terminal was
formed at a meeting of
the Goderich Airport
Committee on February
21,
The committee was..
formed after Don Snider
of Snider, Reichard and
March, presented a
schematic and free hand
sketch of the proposed
terminal. He estimates
that • the cost of con-
struction will be between
$28 and '$32 per square
foot. He also estimates
that the full architectural
fee for his company's
services, including site
supervision, _ willbe..
$2,500.
The adhoc committee is
composed of Dick Wright,
Chuch Reid, Chester
Sturdy, and councillor
Brian Knights with
airport co-ordinator Ed
Scruton acting in an
advisory capacity and
assistance to be given by
Snider.
The airport committee
passed a motion that
,secretary Ken..__ Hunter
and co-ordinator Ed
Scruton be authorized to
purchase a new additive
fuel pump unit.. for the
airport at the price
quoted by WRD
Manufacturing Limited.
Co-ordinator Scruton
told the committee that
he has had inquiries with
regards to fire fighting
equipment. The com-
mittee instructed him to
investigate the "foam
wagons" at Bannister's
Bluewater Truck Centre
arid report back to them
on his findings.
The airport committee
passed a motion

iayhoue to abandon project
Huron -Country
Playhouse in Grand Bend
has had to abandon one of
its construction -
restoration projects:
preserving the old log
church. whichis located
on the farm next door to
the Playhouse.
Unable to carry out the
project, the Playhouse
had to pass up a Canada
Works grant which was
approved for the project.
The project •would have
provided three months of

employment for four
workers in disassembling
the log chapel and
relocating it on the
Playhouse property.
The project was
abandoned because of the
difficulty of finding logs
to replace those which, in
the chapel's 120 year
history, have badly
deteriorated.
All in all, the project
would have turned out to
be much more costly than
it was at first anticipated.
The re -located chapel
at the Playhouse would
have faced the court yard
and would have been used
. as a souvenir and gift
shop.
The Canada Works
funds attained for the
Playhouse project were
re -allocated to other
projects in Huron.
