After financing has been ar- ranged, the building could be completed in abbut 40 weeks, council was told. • The successful tenderer was nienteith-McGrath Limited; of Waterloo, at $642,321. Certain adjustments in the. specifica- •tions brought the• •price down to $622,852. Furnishings, $30,- 000; architects' fees of $37,971; road construction, $15,000, and other items bring the total to $737,423. • Next lowest bidder was John Hayman & Sons, London, at $675,000. W. A. McDougall Ltd., London,, the firm...o which is building the hospital'wing here; tendered . at $684,000, and Ball Brothers, Kitchener, $707,000. The costwas so much higher than expected that the commit- tee experienced "a state of shock," chairman Elgin Thomp- son said, "but we have' to build; there are more applications• all the time." Don Snider •of the firm of Snider, Huget & March, archi- tects, said: "I cannot offer any encouragement that prices will remain,'.steady. With the obli- gations a'f contractors for labor, I cannot see costs ' being,., any less." "After the necessary approv- als, -the -board can sign a con- tract," Clerk -Treasurer J. G. Berry explained. "We have made 'interim financial arrange- ments, rrange- ments with the bank. Then we will proceed • •-to obtain prices in connection with actual fi- nancing. The bond market is not good, and if not good en- ough we can still carry on• with interim financing. Based on in- formation received froth Toron- to on • Friday, it would ' cost $50,000 a year, `an•a-•-••10-year basis, to finance our portion of it.' 'The first payment would he in 1967. Part of our money be- ing . allocated Mr "hospital con- struction possibly could be ,di verted to this .project, and :t the end of 1969 •• we will h.ve fully paid off -the present co n-; ty home, which is costing $73,- 000 a year, and from that point on we could: finance it from present debenture money." ' Superintendent Harvey John- son reported 225 residents in the home, including 130 female and five married couples. Ad missiens during the year total'-'+ led 59, •and there were 52 deaths -42 in the home. Four residents: were discharged to other places. Average age of those admitted was 82. There were Mover 90; 24 between ;80 and 89; 15 be- tween 70 and 79; eight between 60' and 69, and two under 60. The 1965 budget of $390,500 included $239,000 for salaries, -$60,000 for food, and $15,000 for medical supplies. . The staff numbers 98, with 11 part-time. "There is a waiting list of 30 to 40 all the time," said Reeve A. D. Smith, Turnberry. "This impresses me with, the need for the home, and I would hope council will see our com- mittee's point of view arid help along the project." Mr. Berry: "We might get some premium under the win- ter work plan." In reply ,to Reeve' Carl Dal- ton, of Seaforth, who asked if there would be any change in the per diem rate, Deputy Clerk - Treasurer Hanly explained that capital account is not taken in- to the per diem rate. In ,1966 the rate would be about $140 per month." Supt. Johnson: "We are in an area where there is a mini- mum wage law, , and salaries .went up $180 each on the staff at the first of January," NL�,..Banly: "The Department of 'ublic Welfare gives us a figure We must charge, and the board has set a figure just about actual operating cost for the Year before. If you raise the rate to cover debenture cost, all this does is that people pay- ing the full per diem rate— there are a 105—are then •subsi- dizing .the ones not paying. That Is what it atnotrnts to. It Risanot possible to set two rates." • -doctors in the urban and Een- tral schools. For the eighth .consecutive year, Dr.' Aldis reported, . Huron did riot have a single case of paralytic polio. Sabina oral vac- cine, offered for a firSt time in county schools, was accepted by '13,500 children, representing 93% of the s.ehool population; "Medical reasons" accounted for most pf the 7%, the MOH said, in reply to an enquiry from Deputy -Reeve Geiger, of Bay, and of course some pupils were .absent at the time. Re- plying to Reeve A. D. Smith, Turnberry, Dr. Aldis said there had ` heen no refusals on re- ligious grounds. Rabies was prominent in Hur- on last year, with.. 71 animal cases reported, including 24 fox and 27 bovine. Though the to- tal is down from the 93 of 1959, "there is no indication that this disease is dying out," the MOH said. The board of health, in co-operation with the health of animals branch, protected 2,750 pets at vaccipation clinics. In co-operation with Huron Tuberculosis Association, a chest X-ray survey was con- ducted of county food -handlers. No active cases of 711 were found among them, but several were referred to physicians for attention, and 24 of the • 307 screened required chest clinic follow-up. There were 1,095 live births in 1964, compared .kith 1,206 and 1,292 in the immediately preceding years. Dr. Aldis.-not= ed that the birth rate here seems gradually declining from a high post-war ' level, but "there is still a healthy natural increase which will ensure con- tinued productivity in this area without the danger of municipal bankruptcy that has -threatened some of the mushrooming sub= urban areas." - County assessor A. A,•,.Alex-. ander explained the present situation in regard to assessors' qualifications under new legis- lation. • "If you have an assessor em- ployed at this tune," he told the councillors, "he will- get some sort of license—there axe three classifications. We have four in this county who have passed their three-year course with Queen's University, • and they will get the higher quali- fications, permitting them to go to any municipality in Ontario. Others can practise only in the municipality in which they are now employed. Mr. Alexander -said an appeal by. the Sifto Company is the only one before the county judge in. regard to last year's assessment roll, and it will like- ly be heard in February. , Dean Frederick J.
