Solutions to accommodation shortage discussed
Five suggestions arising from
a meeting between the Com-
mittee of Management for
Huronview and A.C. Thornhill
and Dr. F. Vernon of the
Ministry of Community and
Social Services regarding possi-
ble solutions to a shortage of ac-
commodation were placed
before the regular meeting of
Huron County Council Friday.
Council was urged to look for
other facilities, such s the
purchasing of service in other in-
stitutions in the County, to solicit
more aid from the Ministry of
Health to provide more chronic
beds in Huron, the possible con-
struction of senior citizens apart-
ment units in co-operation with
the Ministry of Housing, the
possible use of satellite homes
and the possibility that in future
the Ministry of Social Service
may have funds available to
build residential homesbut not
to extend care facilities.
At present, Huronview is full
to capacity with a waiting list of
between 30 and 40 persons.
Council was also told that the
Fire and Safety Advisor from the
Ministry of Community and
Social Services visited . Huron -
view recently and made a
number of recommendations
which are now being carried out.
The safety advisor
recommended the pressurized
water and Co2 extinguishers be
recharged, combination nozzles
be purchased to replace the
straight stream nozzles on the
fire hoses in the 1960 additions,
that a thermal protector be in-
stalled in the janitors rooms on
the first floormen's section, that

Settlement
received
Huron County Council learned
at their regular meeting Friday
that the Ministry of Transpora-
tion and Communication have
agreed with a County request
that Huron be allowed to take the
$28,800 out of court settlement
from a contractor as a
"receivable" in 1976 rather than
in the years the repair work in
question was carried out.
The $28,800 s.ettlement
between the County and the con-
tractor responsible for construc-
tion of a retaining wall at Salt -
ford was accepted and an-
nounced earlier this year but was
unclear whether all the payment
would go to the County or if part
would have to be paid to the
Ministry.
The Ministry approval is to
Huron's advantage as it has the
effect of increasing the 1976 sub-
sidy allocation by that amount.
County Engineer J. W. Britnell
noted that this was the first time
in history that a contractor had
been held responsible under the
terms of a contract.

Not many. But here's one

It's a 90 day, mid-season maturity
hybrid in the 2850 heat unit range.
This single cross hybrid has everything
going for it

a five pound ABC multi-purpose
dry chemical extinguisher be in-
stalled in the paint storage area
and that five additional annun-
ciator panels be installed in
various locations.
As the annunciator panels will
be an expensive project, the Ad-
ministrator has been authorized
to obain estimates for the work.
In other repairs it was an-
nounced that S. J. Ten Pas
Construction had been engaged
to repair the brick -work in the
area of the ambulance entrance
on a time and material basis.,
Exeter Roofing have com-
pleted repairs to the roof at the
Ambulance Areas and over the
two normal care patio areas, The
total cost of that project was $2,-
396.
Replacement draperies have
also been ordered from K -
Decorating Limited at a cost of
$2,551,77,
County to help pay
for master control
Huron County Council agreed
last Friday to pay 50 per cent of
the costs involved to replace the
Master clock control and
amplifer at.the Court House•The
other half will be paid by the
Town of Goderich.
The county has contributed
half the maintenance costs on
the clocks since they were in-
stalled on the building. Total cost
of the repair and replacement
work will be $2900.
In other business council
accepted the recommendation of
the property committee to
purchase an ABSO Blue Prints
Limited Trition One Copier at a
price of $1,835. The machine had
been requested by the planning
department.
At present the planning depart-
ment is having blueprint copies
made by B. M. Ross and
Associates at Goderich or Mer-
cury Blueprinting in London,
which requires considerable
staff time in having the work
done.
The planning department felt
that the equipment could be used
extensively in copying maps in
connection with SecondaryPlans
for municipalities.
It is estimated that the Plan-
ning Department would produce
approximately 10,000 square feet
of .prints and the Highways
Department 1,000 square Leet per
year as a minimum. At present
costs they said the machine
would pay for itelf in three to
five years.
