After hearing a report from R.
B. 'Cousins, reeve of 1Brussels and
- chairman of 'the County Home com-
mittee,
ommittee, the council approved the
committee's choice of the E11ieDon
Co., London, as principal contrac-
tor, and proceeded at once to give
first, second and third readings
to the by-law authorizing the pro-
ject. The new County Home build-
ing is. eligible. few, a 50 per cent
grant on construction costs from
the Ontario Government, so that
cost to the county is. expected to
be about $235,000.
Special' Levy on Rate
In preparation for the enlarge-
ment of the County Home, $50,000
was raised with an extra mill on
the county tax rate in 1952, and
another $50,000 is to be raised by
a one -mill special levy included
in the 1953 county tax rate. The
County Council's policy is to retire
the obligation as rapidly as pos-
sible, without too great a tax bur-
den
urden in any one year.
The principal item of expense is
the contract with the Ellis -Don Co.
for $332;046 for construction of the
66 -bed new building. Reeve Cousins
reported to County Council that 13
tenders were received, with a range
of $135,000 from the lowest to the
thighest. The Ellis -Don figure was
about $500 higher than the lowest
tender, he said, but seemed to be
the best 'when all factors were con-
sidered.
In additi .to the $332,046 for the
new 'building, the by-law passed
provides for the expenditure of
$16,426 to renovate the old build-
ing;' $11,950 for a well and pump-
ing system; $24,565 for architect's
fees; $30,000 for furnishings; $7,-
.000
7;'000 for laundry equipment; $2,469
for grading and roads; $5.421 for
landscaping; $8;000 for bank inter-
est.
Harvey Johnston, reeve of Mor-
ris, and ex -Warden of Huron, ask-
ed about the cost of a performance
bond to guarantee the contractor's
work. The performance bond, said
Mr. Erskine, is not included in the
contract, and the $1,500 cost is, a
separate, item to be paid by the
county.
Overhaul Meeting Rules
A major overhaul of the stand-
ing rules and regulations that gov-
ern the meetings of Huron County
Council was approved, when Coun-
cil accepted a report brought in by
Reeve Harvey Johnston, chairman
of the council's striking committee.
Thirteen changes in Council's
standing rules are to be made as
a result of the study carried out by
Reeve Johnston's committee. A
new edition of the printed yolume
_ of standing rules is expected to be
produced this year, to embody the
changes that are being made.
The new rules enlarge the mem-
bership of the county library com-
mites and the county historical
committee.
The county library committee is
to have six members instead of
three, the three additional mem-
bers to be. aiipointed by the Huron
Library Co-operative, The histori-
cal committee, which has govern-
ing power over the Huron Pioneer
Museum, Is authorized to .increase
its own membership of three by
appointing three additional mem-
bers.
The Children's Aid committee is
also authorized to increase its
membership from three tosix, by
adding ,three appointees of the
board of the Huron Children's Aid
Society.
Hear Health Report
One new provision of the rules
which affects all but three of the
Council's 16 standing committees,
isan arrangement rran
„ ant to provide con-
tinuity, by having each committee
include members with three-year
and two-year terms. The wording
of the new rule is: "All committees,
with the exception of executive,
legislative and finance, shall be set
up on the basis of three, two and
one year memberships."
The new rules also provide that
any member of Council appointed
to the County Road Commission
shall automatically resign from any
and all committees which he has
been previously appointed,
Reeve E. S. Snyder, presenting
the June report of the Huron Coun-
ty Board of Health, noted that new
regulations have been put in force
by the Ontario Government, pre-
scribing inspection of new plumb-
ing and sewer work. "It was the
opinion of the ' Board of Health,"
said Reeve Snyder, "that 24 munici-
palities in Huron would not want
to engage 24 inspectors." It has
been arranged by the county board,
accordingly, be reported, that the
county sanitary inspectors be lic-
ensed as plumbing inspectors,
Use Photocopying Machine
It will be necessary, however,
said Reeve Snyder, for each of the
24 municipalities in Huron to pass
a by-law to set an inspection fee
for new plumbing and sewers, and
to authorize the county sanitary in-
spectors to collect the plumbing
inspection fees. A standard by-law
has 'been prepared by the county
health unit, he said, and copies will
be available to each municipality.
A new photocopying machine for
the county registry office, bought
at a Cost of $6,000, is now in use,
it was reported to Council by Reeve
Earl Campbell, chairman 'of the
'property committee. Me..tpbers of
CSouncil were invited- to visit the
registry office, and see the machine
at Work. It is being used to Make
file copies of documents; replacing

Weed Projects Set Up
Reporting to Council for the
agriculture committee, of which
he is chairman, Daniel Beuermann,
reeve of MoKillop, said that two
special projects in weed eradication
have 'been set up, in co-operation
with' the Ontario Department of
Agriculture. One of them, at •a -cost
of $1,000, is to test means of eradi-
cating leafy spurge, The other, with
a budget of $400, is intended to test
methods of eliminating barberry
and 'buckthorn.
Reeve Beuermann urged all mem-
bers of Council to assist the work
of the Huron Livestock Protective
Association by reporting without
delay any cases of cattle rustling
or poultry theft.
