This is a reduction of one mill in the bounty rate, al- though 'the rate for the town- ship was set at the same fig- ure as last year by county council. Main reason for the drop was due to the fact council have built up a surplus in past years On their county rate and the auditors suggested a drop of two mills this year. However, the surplus has only been a book account and the excess after the county levy has been paid has been used for general purposes. County rate is set on the previous year's assessment and because the township's assess- ment has been increasing an- nually, the rate always brought in more money than what they had been levied. It was jokingly pointed out that it would look rather sus- picious if Goderich Township had a county rate two mills lower than all other municip- alities in view of the fact that their reeve, Walter Forbes, is warden of the county. However ,this was the re- commendation of the auditors and was designed only to straighten the book account, as the difference would have to be made up on the general rate, meaning taxpayers would still have to pay the same amounts. T h e auditors report also shows the township with a healthy surplus of $31,783.14, but treasurer and tax collect- or, H, B. Whitely, noted again this was a surplus on paper only. When questioned by the reeve he explained the township owed bank loans of between $21,000 and $22,000. He said the surplus figure was correct, but it was actually made up primarily of money owing in back taxes and was on the books, but not in the bank. For township and county purposes, the residential rate will be down one mill this year, but the commercial will re- main the same as it was in- creased by one mill to 12 to balance the one mill drop in the count yrate. The auditors had suggested the commercial rate should be three mills above the residen- tial rate, as it is. Fire Operator After a lengthy discussion, council agreed to ask John Tyndall, grader operator, to hand in his resignation to be effective on May 15. The decision arose following an incident some time ago when the employee was found to be drinking on the job. Only dissenting opinion was expressed by councillor Jack Yeo, who stated he was not in favor of taking the action at this late date. "It should have been done on the spot or not at all," he commented. Council will advertise for a replacement to begin work as soon as possible after May 15. In other business, council: Learned that there would be no appeals against the Wise Municipal Drain and decided to call tenders for the work. Made plans for the Huron County Municipal Officers ban- quet to be held in the Clinton Legion Hall on Wednesday, May 22, and paid the $20 mem- bership to the group, Agreed to pay the $10 mem- bership to the Huron County Road Superintendent's Associa- tion, Decided to pay their $380.10 levy to the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority. They had previously questioned 'the figure, but their representative, coundillor Harry Oakes, report- ed there was a sizeable in- crease in the group's budget for this year. "I think they're looking for big things up on the top end of the stream this year," he commented., Adjourned at 1:40 tom she was willing to do it free of charge.'' W. A. Archibald, engineer, met with council to display pl- ans for the diversion of the Bayfield River to eliminate hazardous curves in the road west of Egmondville.

Joe Hugill, Seaforth, met with council and presented an estimate on a proposed well for fire protection purposes in Egmondville. The well had been requested by members of the Seaforth fire brigade and it is proposed to put the well near the Un- ited Church. Hugill presented figures on a 5,000-gallon tank which would beplaced at a cost of $903, "as long as we don't hit quick-sand." Council took no action on the project. Set Grader Rental To comply with regulations of the department of highways council voted to increase the rental rates on their grader to $8.00. per hour. This is almost doubled over the former, rate charged for the equipment. However, due to the fact the township receives a subsidy on the equipment, they must con- form to the figures suggested by the department or pay the difference if their rate is low- er. The charge worked out to $7.60 per hour but council de- cided to bring it to round fig- ures to make it easier to fig- ure out, noting that the dif- ference was very nominal. Alec Chesney, Huron Coun- ty weed inspector, met with council to discuss their plans to spray the entire road sys- tem in the township for weeds. Council have accepted a ten- der of $9.90 per mile for their 80 miles of road and this has been approved by the depart- ment of highways. Chesney, who recently at- tended a conference at Guelph, told council to "take a pretty hard look" at the material they planned to use and also to take care in the timing of the job. On learning they planned to spray near the beginning of June, Chesney reported this was an ideal time. Payments Slow Concerned over the slow pay- ment by farmers for their warble fly spraying, council discussed at considerable length plans to speed up the payment. They suggested putting the arrears on the taxes, but later decided to leave it is it was for this year, Councillor Art Varley point- ed out it was costing the twp. a considerable amount to col- lect the fees because they had to pay the ispector $1.00 per hour and 10 cents per Mile, while he was trying to collect the bills. It was reported that pay- ments were slower than norm- al this year. A brief discussion .was held on the advisability of putting the warble fly spraying on the general rate, to be shared by all taxpayers in the township. The discussion was opened by reeve Thompson, but it was pointed out this was unfair for those who did not haye cattle. However, he noted that many things were unfair, as rural residents had to pay for part of the street lighting in Brucefield. He also gave other examples. However, no action Was tak- en on the proposal. He noted he was not much in favour himself, but said he had prom- ised some ratepayers he would open a discussion on the mat- ter. Council learned also they would possibly have some prob- lems regarding the VanEgmond cairn near Egmondville that was placed in memory of the founder of Seaforth. One woman in the village has been cutting the grass and caring for the flowers for some time and has been putting in her bill for the work. Last year she charged $15. A letter was received from another female resident, a Mrs. Collings, who said she would do the work free of charge. After considerable discussion council decided to tell the pres- ent keeper, a Mrs. Wilson, that she could keep the job only if
