Nancy Michie was sworn in as the new
clerk of Morris Township at Council's
regular meeting, which was held on Friday
because of the Labour Day holiday on
Monday.
Council awarded a contract for work on the
Branch A of the Grasby Drain 'to Hanna and
Hamilton COnstruction of Listowel who
tendered at $2525. Other tenders came from
Gollan Drainage in Listowel at $4929.10,
Robert Nicholson Construction Company'of
Sebringville at $2940, George Radford
Construction of Blyth at $2599 and Bruce
Carson of Palmerston at $2780. A court of
Revision was held on the drain with Reeve
Simop Hallahan of East WawanOsh
Township also taking part.
Lorne Humphries of Belgrave asked
ceepcil cencerninvn objection to him
tapping into a stor sewer drain.
Mr. Humphries said that he understood
that Morris had approved an East
Wawanosh zoning bylaw for the, Humphries
subdivision in Belgrave "subject to our
easement being kept clear ofp)1 o4tructions
so that we,maymaintain our storm sewer
drain,," but Mr. Humphries said there was
noregistered easement through his property
dnd added that he had received the right to
tap into the storm sewer drain. •
Reeve Bill Elston explained that all the
township was asking •was-that the drain be
kept clear.
-FrregOing to have to ask the Township to'
draw up an agreement about the drain," Mr.
Humphries said.
Councillor Ross Procter suggested that
both ought to know "where we stand" and "
eouncillor Sam Pletch added, that the matter
should be straightened out.
Reeve Elston agreed the objection could
bewithdrawn providing there was assurance
the drain would not be damaged by
overloading.
, "How can I hurt it". Mr. Humphries
asked. The reeve replied he could hurt it by
putting too much water in it.
"One thing I'd like removed and that's
objection. 1 can do without an OMB hearing.t
I ran pretty well say I'm going to draw up a
favourable agreement" Mr. Hurirphries
said.
"We wanted to know how much water
you're dumping in there" the reeve said.
It was decided that representatives from
Morris and 'East 'Wawanosh councils,
engineers and* solicitors. should meet with
Mr. Humphries to discuss an ageeement.
Bob Dawson of Dawson and Johnsen
Consulting Engineers of Stratford was at the
meeting regarding a bridge on sideroad 10 &
11, Concession 6 of Morris, He asked about
.getting approval for the Cost of an engineer
and Reeve Elston told him council already
had approval the extent of soil testing. Mr.
Dawson said that council should order soil
testing and at least go ahead with
preliminary plans from MTC so all the -field
work-could be done iq nice weather.
Council considered correspondence from
Brussels council regarding Morris' share of
the operating "deficit of the senior citizen's
apartments in Brussels which indicated that
Bruss wished to draw up an agreement
with Morris regarding the building for 1978.
A coup illor suggested that maybe there
should be an agreement with Brussels that
would vary more or less with Morrig'
occupancy rate in the building.
Reeve Elston explained that Morris
entered into the Huron County Housing
Authority and will paytaxes toward that. He
pointed out that their share of the operating
deficit would go as part of the general levy to
Goderich and the Housing Authority would .
send Morris' share to Brussels.
Councillor Sam. Pitch wanted to know why,
Brussels was-able to stay clear of having to
pay to the Housing Authority and Reeve
'itan told him. it was because the apartment s
Were located right in Brussels. .
"I don't see anything wrong with us
paying based on occupancy. I would think
that kind of ar rangement would be fairer
especially when we have something to say
about who goes there"
and reeve Elston suggested
,clerk Nancy Michie, could advise Brussels
that Morris' -was willing to enter ,into an
agreement based on percentage. of
occupancy by residents of Morris. '
"If we.paid' on occupancy, Grey paid on
occupancy and Brussels would pay on
occupancy everybody would pay the same,"
councillor' Procter 'said but added that 11 e
thought they were getting away quite fairly
dn 25 percent for this year.
It was decided that Morris woujld meet
sometime later with Brussels uncil to
discuss an agreement.
jn other business, council agreed that
councillor Tom Miller and his wife would
attend the Farmstead and Home
Improvement Competition .ift Brussels on
September 6, asked the clerk to write a letter
to Cardiff and Mulvey asking them to come
to a meeting and explain Errors •and
Ommissions Insurance; decided to give a
grant of $19 to Muscular Dystrophy. „At a
recreation meeting later Morris gave a grant
of $400 East Wawanosh Recreation

The condition of the Great
Lakes has received some
publicity recently, following
release of a report by the
Pollution° from Land 'Use

dicates that both the United.
States and Canada have
adequate laws to prevent
lake pollution, but the laws
should - -be enforced more
strictly. The group is urging

research, An, official of the
Ministry of the Environment
recently described this state-
ment by the Premier as a bit
of "dramatic wishful
thinking."
As Dr. Smith has
indicated, we believe that the
recent 11‘1C0 decision is the
last straw in a series of inept
Government decisions on
environmental issues..." We
are in a period of drift and
inaction by the Government,
