(photo by Jeff Seddon) 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 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.
