THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 23, 1985. PAGE 11.
East Wawanosh settles long road dispute with county
the township heard of the proposal
until it found out that work crews had
already moved into the site and had
taken away much more than the
offered amount of gravel off the road
itself.
After a year of haggling, and a
bulging file of correspondence, the
county has rebuilt the road to the
same profile originally agreed to by
the township. Chief among ques-
tionners at the meeting about the
squabble with the county was Ernie
Snell of Westfield whosaid it was
bad business for the council to have
let the county go ahead without a
written agreement. It was too bad,
he said, to be fighting with the
county when the township has to
work with county officials on a
regular basis.
The long, simmering dispute
between the township of East
Wawanosh and the County of Huron
road department over the removal of
gravel from sideroad 30-31 at the
Westfield cemetery (between Con-
cession' s three and four) has come to
an amicable conclusion, Reeve Neil
Vincent reported toratepayers at the
township's public meeting held Oct.
16 at the township municipal
building west of Belgrave.
Discussion of the dispute, that
lingered over two summers, domi-
nated the meeting attended by about
40 township residents. Reeve Vin-
cent and Ralph Campbell, township
road superintendent, went over the
chronology of events dating back to a
February 1984 meeting with the
county's property committee when
council agreed to let the county take
gravel from the county's newly
purchased gravel pit on the west side
of the road within the 100-foot
setback zone required by the
Ministry of Natural Resources under
the pits and quarries act between a
pit and a road allowance.
At that meeting the township
representatives also verbally offer-
ed to let the county take some gravel
off the top of the hill on the sideroad
itself to lower the profile of the steep
hill by up to 15 feet. This was the last
Morris council
gives road crews a raise
Morris Township roadmen have
been granted pay increases of just
under four per cent per hour, but also
have been allowed a new "sick-
days" policy.
Council granted the increases at a
meeting held Oct. 3 at the township
hall.
The hourly rate for grader opera-
tors Jim Casemore and John Smith
has gone to $9.75 per hour, from
$9.45, an increase of 3.5 per cent.
Road Superintendent Lloyd Mich-
ie's hourly rate goes to $9.60 from
$9.25, an increase of just under four
per cent.
The men also will be allowed six
sick days as of Sept. 1 and that
"bank" will increase by one day per
month up to a maximum of 15 days.
This is the first time township road
workers have had such a policy.
Other benefits the township pays
for include OHIP and a two per cent
savings plan for road employees.
In other business at the meeting,
council endorsed a resolution from
the Huron County Pork Producers.
The resolution requests the provin-
cial government grant immediate
emergency assistance to the red-
meat producers of Ontario and the
grant be substantial enough to allow
farmers to compete with other
provinces.
Reeve William Elston suggested
sending the endorsed resolution to
the federal representatives as well
since they have a set agriculture
policy for all of Canada.
George Radford Construction of
Blyth has the 1985-86 contract to
plow snow on the township's eighth
and nine concessions for a price of
$41.50 per hour for a grader. John
McKercher of Jamestown will plow
the third and fourth concessions and
Belgrave with his tandem truck for
$39 per hour. The township roadmen
plow the first and second and sixth
and seventh concessions.
The official opening of the new
Morris Township municipal office
and works garage will be held this
Saturday, Oct. 19, from 2 to 5 p.m. A
ratepayers' meeting has been sche-
duled for Oct. 28 at 8 p.m. in the new
building.
Mr. Snell's persistent question-
ing finally brought heated replies,
first from Mr. Campbell who asked
what the township should have done
to stop the county when they went
ahead and took the gravel without a
clear agreement, call the Ontario
Provincial Police and charge the
county with theft?
Counciller Vaughn Toll said the
problem was "The county doesn't
have any respect for this township."
Mr. Campbell said that he had even
contemplated involving the O.P.P.
but was told it was a civil matter
between the two levels of govern-
ment.
Reeve Vincent said that despite
the heated words at times, relations
with the county were still good and
that in the long run the whole affair
had cost the township only about
$1000, including between $700 and
$800 in legal fees.
Mr. Campbell said the township
had not publicized the dispute
because it did not want to make
