ONTARTO THURSDAY. 3AN. 3Oth. 195* Counties Heuîth Unit Gives Interesting Report Budgeting for $138900 A Health Unit budget of $138,- 900 was presented to the Unit- ed Counties council last week for its approval by David R. Dmngwall, chairman of the ]Health Unit committee for the ]Northumberland and Durham .Health Unit. Revenue for the budget wil be derived from three different sources: grant from the prov- ince of Ontario, $66,450; grant from the United Counties, $66,- 450; and from plumbing in- spection fees estimated to reach $6,000. Last year's Counties grant was $50,500 but this year's grant, if approved, will be $ 15,- 950 higher. The report accompanying the budget states that staff salaries and transportation costs will absorb approxiniately $118.680 AVAILABLE FOR FNONEOTGAGES Ralph S.

Transporta- tion alowancas are increased ta corapensate for increased au- tomobile costs and pay for as- sistant medical services, like- wise inceascd. Thase increases now amount ta $12,000. More For Rent Additional revenue of $6.000 is equiméd for ent which the Heahth Unit pays for its alloca- tion of space in the United Counties Building and $4,467,- 54 is raquired for the expendi- ture on Health Unit furnitura and equipment. The repart points out tha fact that although the increase in grants is paid by the province and the Counties, the increasa ln the casa cf tha Counties ;s not as great since it is reduccd by the rent paymants whîch the unit makes ta the council. Contingent on the approval cf the budget by the council, partaining ta staff salaries and expenses, the national health grants administration will con- sider a suppiementary budget of $26,813, which was suhmitted following approval hy the Health Unit board for the fiscal year, April 1, 1958 ta Mar. 31, 1959.

Six started with the unit when it was founded 12 years ago, two havel had seven years service andi nine have been with the unit for threc -years. Four vacan- dies exist and the report em- phasizes the great national shortaga of qualified personnel. Salk Doses 26,428 As to work accomplished in 1957. the Health Unit has ad- ministered above 26,428 Salk polio vaccine doses to childrcn in the two counties. Polio vac- cine, along with other antigens will now be available at four regular weekly child health conferences to be held at Bow- manville, Port Hope, Cobourg and Campbellford. Physîcians will now be able to obtain reg- ular supplies from the Hcalth Unit. Fourteen cases of TB wvare raported. Five -of these requir- ed sanitarium treatment, five ware hospitalized. The Unit now operates monthly X-ray clinics at Cobourg, Port Hope, Bowmanville and Campbellford. It is noted that while there is a definîte decrease in TB deaths due to the new drugs, there is no decrease in the number of cases diagnosed. Polio immunization will be offcred to both pre-school and sehool childre.n in each of the 224 school sections yearly, al- most doubling the work of the unit staff. This year the work of the unit will be particularly heavy as there is a backlog of inoculations due to the suspen- sion of this phase of the pr~o- gram while the Salk vaccine was bcing given. Food Handiers A new food-handlers' pro- gram was initîated in 1957 wherebv all those engagedi the food industry or service are1 Ito be X-rayed each year but so1 far no cases of TB bave been i found. At the county jail, how- ever, two cases of TB were diagnosed and admitted to sani- torium. The Health Unit also oper- atas a nursing service and in thîs the department of national healtix and welfare assists with a financial grant. Visits, how- ever, are made only on the re- qucst of an attending physician. Other wàrk undertaken by the Health Unit included the in- spection of slaughter-houses and meat packing plants, eat- ing establishments and hanses. With regard to housing, 160 ware inspccted and seven were condemned as unfit for human habitation. This makes a total of 37 in the two counties. New Members United Council Thie roster of the United Counties Council now has six new members for 1958 replacing those who have either retiredi from municipal affairs or those defeated at the polis. The new members include H. Bradburn, Cavan; R. Carlaw, Brighton; D. J. Cunningham, Newcastle; G. H. Free, Camp- belîford; W. J. T. Hicks, Perey; W. D. Higgon, Bowmanville, and E. Roddy, Haldimand.

Maintain Bridgea Besides roads, the United1 Counties maintain nina county boundary bridges, savan town- ship boundary bridges and thre other bridges which do not fali into these two classes. The roads and bridges de- partment has a staff of six fore- men, 12 laborers, 13 operators, ana mechanie and one stock- keeper who operate and main- tain five motor gradars, eight heavy duty trucks and miscel- lancous equipment. Wants Paving Recommendations submitted by Supt. Totten, are that as many roads be completad with paving as far as economically possible. Many counties roads are only partially paved with large intervening stretches of gravel which are deemed un- satisfactory for modern speads. During 1957, the roads de- partment of the United Coun- tics completed the renewal of several bridges and plans cal for the construction of two more this year. In 1958 the grants to towns and villages are estîmated to reach $43,000 if the existing per- centage relation remains con- stant. Because of this as well as the Trenton suburban raad appropriation of $5.720 this year's expenditures will hi' $65,880 more than is spent on actual counties roads, the re- port says. Forecast Spendint In a breakdown of the fore- cast expenditures of 600,000 for 1958, road construction will ab- sorb $277,120; bridge construc- tion, $40,000, road maintenance $112,000 and bridge mainten- ance, $5,000. New machinery is estimated to reach $40,000 and allowances for contingencies $60,000. The United Counties, haw- ever, wîll not have to foot the wbole of this bill. 0f the fora- cast $600.000 the United Coun- ties' share wil h $280.780 and subsidies and other sources will provide $319,220. The allocation is based on the assumption of an allotment of 4.25 milîs in the counties rate. The costs of a recommanded construction program will reach $277,120. This will include $55,- 000 for paving il miles of rozd; $35,000 for sealcoating 25 miles;, $140,000 for new construction; $25,000 for crushcd gravai and miscellaneous costs of $22,120.
