Council
Adjourns
Huron county council in a
busy three-day session made
some important decisions, and
deferred several on new or con-
troversial Titters: A study of
the minty. assessment commis-
sioner plan will be made by
the warden's and personnel
committee for report in Sep-
tember. Though the senior of-
ficer of the Labor Departrhent's
construction safety branch de-
clared that "the moment of
truth has come," 'council again
gave a three -Months hoist to
the appointment- of a construc-
tion safety• inspector. The same
committee will report in Sep-
tember.
"The longerwe put .it off,
the later we start to pay the
salary,"- remarked Reeve Clif-
ford Dunbar, of Grey.
Council heard from assessor
Alex Alexander that county
assessment is up $1,210,646.00
over last)year, and at 15,5 mills
wit i duce $18,765 addition-
al taxes. From EMO co-ordina-
tor Stuart Forbes was heard an
opinion t h a t remuneration
should • be, provided for auxil-
iary police. From, Inspector
Kinkead 'it wa"s learned that
there is an unprecedented
scarcity of teachers. -
A special committee was set
up to, study the implications of
proposed regional government.
It comprises Reeve Reg Jewel,
Goderich; Reeve 'Calvin Kreu-
ter, Brussels; Reeve Robert Gib-
son, Howick; Reeve Donald Mc-
Kenzie, Ashfield; Reeve, A. Eth-
erington, Usborne, and the
warde'n.
council was informed Eby
clerk -treasurer John Berry that
5,000 copies of the forthcom-
ing Huron history—as yet with-
out a title—will be printed.
The book will be offered at $5.
The annual county picnic will
be held July 14 at Harbor Park
in Goderich, if the clerk -treas-
urer can make necessary ar-
rangements.
W. M. Jelly,. front the Lon-
don assessment branch of the
,'Department•' of Municipal. Af-
fairs, gave a concise and in-
formative review of the legis-
lation _regarding a county' as-
sessment commission.

• BIRDS - CIGARETTES - FIRE
An interesting speculation as to the cause of a recent
fire in. Cowansville, Quebec, has been passed along to me
by a telephone man on the scene during and after the
blaze, which gutted a 150-year-ord home formerly known
as a "halfway house"
on the way from Mont-
real to the U.S. border.
Starlings are sus-
pected of carrying a
lighted cigarette -butt
to their nest in the
wooden shed at the
rear of the house.'
This cannot be prov-
en in this particular
case, of course, be-
cause -the nests were
destroyed as welt. In
other instances, how-
ever, cigarette butts •
HAVE BEEN FOUND
in with the nesting
materials collected by
these birds, and it is
highly possible that a
still -smouldering cigar-'
ette-could"be picked up
as well.
The local Fire Chief,
John F. 'Scott, says
that starlings (black
with yellow beaks—
they look like small
crows) do represent a
hazard, and should be
prevented from nest•
in roof jets leaves) or
cavities. He also adds that this is another -good reason why
smokers should always be very careful to/thoroughly crush
out their cigarettes no • matter where they are, before
disposing of them.

Wprk is well under way and
should be completed by .Novem-
ber on the 'development road
between Crediton and Itliiva
corner, in Stephen Township,
the road committee reported to
county council through Reeve
Grant Stirling, of Goderich
Township, chairman.
"We will follow with lion. C.
S. MacNaughton," the' report
stated, "in order to have the
second five -mile section of this
'10 -mile road designated for
construction at the earliest pos-
sible date. We will also con-
tinue our talks with the minis-
ter to have the Bayfield:Bruce-
field-Egmondville•Seaforth road
designated as It development
road.
"Grading is well under way
on our construction project on
County Road 13 from Clinton
westerly for five miles, and pav-
ing will commence soon (En-
gineer Bnitnell said July 1) on
County Road 16 from Highway
4 to Brussels," This contract
has been let to Contract-
ing at $62,661.30.
"Work is nearing comple-
tion," he reported stated, "on
our four maintenance gravel
contracts totalling 91,000 cubic
yards on 100 miles of road. We
have made provision in our
1965 budget to provide for a
substantial increase in quantity
of calcium chloride, in order
to conserve gravel : and help
eliminate dust problems."
"Subject to approval of the
minister," he explained, "coun-
cil may by bylaw provide for
the 1 appointment of a county
assessment commissioner. Ap-
pointment of . a commissioner
would be effective December 31.
He does the work for all the
municipalities, and so must hire
sufficient staff, over which ,he
has full control. The' county
must 'adopt his valuations for
the purpose of county rates,
which are deemed to be the
equalized assessment. This sim-
plifies county, equalizations, and
will make for better feeling in
high and public school areas.
County council sets up the
courts of revision for appeals.
The minister may provide for
grants; (1) , a stated sum per,
annum for each county; (2)
50% of the cost of new equip-
ment, not including office furni-
ture;° (3) $2,500 per year to-
ward the.. rental of machines."
MAKING A LONG DISTANCE SHORT
A friend of rnine,,returning front a family vacationn-out
West this spring, is totally convinced of the wisdom of
phoning ahead for reservations along the route. He says
the longest distance they travelled was not along the. high-
way at all—it was the frustrating distance from metel to
hotel to motel looking for a place to stay the first night
out. 'the shottest distance was after he called to the next
stop -over city for reservations, and knew that comfortable
quarters were waiting for, them.
Six stretches of county road
are being delettd and returned
to, the townships. They total
42.76 • miles, and addition of a
half -mile of airport road leaves
the mileage of the county sys-1
tem . at 355, "still one .,.of the
largest in the province," the
committee said.
Largest item is 14.60 miles,
Road 26 from.,Highway 4 to the
Wellington boundary. Next
largest is . 10.12. miles, Road 10
from Highway 4 to Highway 21,
Hay -Stanley boundary. • Others
are Road 1, from Road 5 to
Road 21 at Centralia, 1.29
miles; Road 9 from Het1Sa11 to
Perth boundary, 4.25. miles;
Road 15, from Road -8. to:High-
way 4 (Khiva: to St Jadp10,
FOR DRIVERS AND YOUNG SCHOLARS
It's that time of 'year again to remind Seaforth° drivers
that energetic youngsters will soon -be out of school and
playing wherever their fancy takes them. Of course we
can and do tell them over and over to watch out for cars
and not to play where it's dangerous. But we'd all feel
better if we knew that.drivers were making a special point
to watch out for them, too.
Incidentally, the Bells practice of making a "circle of
safety" around a parked vehicle before starting up not
only serves to ferret out imprudent youngsters or pets -
from beneath a car or truck—it is also an ideal way for a
driver to constantly remind himself of his continuing, re-
sponsibility,for safety. And what better time to be remind-
ed than just before getting into the car?
ment. It will actually reduce
the mill rate, because if it goes
up three times, andfrl a munici-
pality requires the smoney,
one-third of the present mill
rate would do.

Reeve Elgin Thompson, Tuck-

townships concerned in rever-
yton of certain' county mileage
ould have to do more gravel-
ling. He was •toltl .that the
maintenance grant would apply

Reeve Tom Leiper, of Hullett,
enquired about the length limit
for concrete structures moving
by road. Mr. Britnell said in
special casts permits for over -
90 lengths could ,be obtained. ..

Four training schob'ls have
been held so Tar, Mr. Jelly
said. Twelve counties have com-
mitted themselves. Wateiloo,
Bruce, Kent, Middlesex and
Lambton and several cities in-
tend to assess on the' new
manual.•
"Values in the old manual,"
Mr. Jelly declared, "are almost
a quarter-century out of date.
The new one is for present-day
values. The main ,Feasons ap-
pear to be changes in 'construc-
tion and the cost of. materials
cannot be •' accurately valued.
This may cost more, but we be-
lieve the results will more than
offset extra cost." '
Answering a question by
Reeve Clift, Bayfield, about ef-
fect on the mill rate, Mr. Jelly
."The immediate effect is
to update the yardstick of
valuing property. It is the in-
tention to keep this,- current,
not let it get badly out of date.
If counties adopt this new sys-
tem, and with efficient opera-
tion, 25 years from now there
should be no need for reassess -
