raising body was suggested by Uwe Sehmrau field consultant with the ministry of culture and recreation While admitting ignorance of the fouryear struggle to build an arena Mr Sehmrau said in corporation seems to be the on ly recourse Council opinions vary in task force issue MIDHIYRST Midland Rccvc Moreland Lynn says Simcoc tounty council made ii mistake Tuesday in not approv ing the Simcocticorgian Area Task Force report in principle Rut councils move was praised by Innisfil Reeve Bill iibhins and deputy rccvc Blake Constable said the report our lines an immediate area for Barric annexation Some members of council dont ap prcciatc just what the rcport says he said Reeve iibbins said he was glad to see the county take stand on annexation and begin study that will be separate from the task force report fresh look is needed The task force has been the problem all along Reeve iibbins said But Reeve Lynn argued that the task force can be used to limit Barries growth The report he said called for MORELANI LYNN criticism Budget cuts hit area hospitals Barries Royal Victoria Hospital appears able to sur vive the Ontario Ministry of Healths latest budget cut without too much damage but some other area hospitals may belessfortunate The ministry has informed an estimated 80 per cent of hos pitals across the province that they must cut their 1976 budgets by one per cent The move has drawn cries of protest from the Ontario Hos pital Association because hospitals will have only five months to find full years sav ing Its little late in the year agreed Cameron ad ministrator at the Royal ic toria but noted that it wasnt too unexpected He said Tuesday the cut will have to be evaluated by hos pital staff before its effect will be known and necessary llttiir sures will have to be approved by the hospital board at its September meet mg dont think its going to be too severe he said The cuts appear to have hit tollingwoods icneral and Marine hospital somewhat liar der Administrator William Powell said Tuesday both staff and bed cuts are possibilities The hospital is already down to 97 beds follow ing 25bcd cut during provincial budget chops earlier this year and Mr Pow ell said he will confer with medical staff and ministry of ficials before taken Current contract negotiations with employees could also af fect the significance of the cut he said Its not very pleasant day for hospital administrators he said The traumatic days of the spring have now been repeated Ted Iiitchard administrator at St Andrews Hospital in Midland said today he does not know how much money one per cent will represent because his hospitals budget has still not received ministry approval months after the usual ap proval datc He said he has been unable to learn the reason for the delay The larger lliironia District Hospital scheduled to replace St Andrews is due to open at the end of September and Mr Iritciiard said the latest cut may force him to hire fewer any action is new Slilll llltlllliers than had been planned Arthur Consaul adminis Itlllt of Stevenson Memorial Hospital in Alliston said be ex pccts no staff or service cuts to result from the newest budget measure He said retirements and con solidation enabled the hospital to keep staff cuts to one position carlicr this year The only pos sibility of scryicc cuts lies in the hospitals ambulance serr mi fiicii is under separate budget and not affected by the one per cent chop growth in four urban centres in Simcoe County Barrie rillia ollingwood and Midland Decentralization of growth would be impaired by exteme development of one community Barrie Reeve Lynn said But how can our planner use that argument if the County of Siincoc has not endorsed that task force strategy question our approach to the planners Reeve Lynn said If we are asking them to define the countys problems we should at least offer some direction Ilc said the task force report is not specific about the citys future boundary Councils decision not to ap prove the task force report in principle was carried by vote of 2822 with the reeves of both Vespra and r0 voting in favor of the report To study
