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 Park a d Community Centre Board to help cove 'Belgrave Community Centre expert s, insurance costs and recreation needs.

States and Canada have adequate laws to prevent lake pollution, but the laws should - -be enforced more strictly. The group is urging broader and strenger, control measures, During the last Provincial Election, Premier Davis, in a tough statement, called for the revision.of the Canadian- 1.1;S: Great Lakes, water quality agreement, to provide for massive (million dollar) fines to be paid into an environmental cleanup fund, administered by both countries to aid pollution 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, the results. of which -could .have , far reaching and deleterious consequences for Ontario."
