The main overexpenditures in 1978 were on roads and government. A budget of $94,000 had been set for roads but there was an actual expenditure of $109,761. A budget of $16,000 had been set for general government with an actual expenditure of $24,496. Among other things the extra road expense came from putting extra gravel and chloride on the roads for the plowing match. As well more cement had to be put on a section of the second concession of Morris than was originally estimated. Bruce Atchison of accountants Thorne, Riddell and Co., in London explained to council that general government included payments to members of council, salaries and payments for people to sit on hospital boards. Council learned that their salaried had gone from $8,500 in 1977 to $10,900 in 1978 and that salaries for roadmen in 1978 had been $40,000. Livestock claims went up considerably from $400 in 1977 to $1600 in 1978. The township's total revenue was $$161,622 while total expenditures were $163,747. Taxes receivable were up quite a bit from 1977's total of $27,753 to $46,764 in 1978. Carman Craig and Bruce Richmond, Morris Township's representatives on the Blyth and District Community Centre Board asked for a donation to the Blyth and District Community Centre. Earlier the council had been told the arena wouldn't be needing anymore donations for awhile so council asked the two why money was being requested. Representative Craig told council mem- bers that new liquor control board regulation have made it illegal for the-arena to keep a share of the bar profits. Although no firm policy has been made it had been suggested that maybe the arena could be rented at a charge of $2 per person or there could be a charge for bar service, ticket sales, hall preparation, clean up, or door supervision. Morris council was asked for $750 so the centre could replenish operating funds to the point where the arena could carry through. Council heard the arena had received $1625 from Blyth, $1625 from Hullett, $1000 from East Wawanosh and $400 from the West Wawanosh council. There was a special question period for ratepayers at Friday's meeting and some wanted to know why figure skaters didn't pay the same amount as those renting the ice for hockey and broomball. It was pointed out that figure skaters did not rent the ice in prime time'but if they did they would have to pay the same amount as anybody else. Councillor Ross Procter agreed that on a stop gap basis Morris should be prepared to pay their fair share to local arenas but wanted to know how to be fair without information on how many people from the township used the arena. He told Mr. Craig council had requested that recreation people keep a record of those people from Morris Township registered for various sports. The representatives decided to see that the council gets a copy of that information. Council decided later in the meeting to give the arena the $750 donation as requested. Some of the ratepayers at the meeting complained to council of the wild dogs running loose in Morris and council decided the reeve will check with the Ministry of Natural Resources on what could be done with the problem and to bring it up again at the next council meeting. Also at the meeting were Keith Mulvey and Dave R;‘ed of Frank Cowan Insurance to review council's insurance policies. They suggested council consider Errors and Omissions Insurance. For example if a man gets permission from council to put up a building and someone discovers a zoning by-law has been contravened, then the insurance will pay for this. Council had a representative at an earlier meeting from McMaster Insurance in Wingham but decide they would stay with Cowan this year and not to get the Errors and Omissions Insurance for now. Mild-flavored, colorful finger foods are ideal. Stock up on fruit and raw vege- tables, unsweetened juices, cheese, yogurt, peanut butter, plain muffins, nuts and seeds, granola, whole grain or enriched bread and crackers. Take the time to peel and cut up raw vege- tables and fruit so they'll be just as convenient for young- sters on the run as cookies or candy bars. In other business, council received a letter from the County of Huron regarding the Walton library. They were concerned with the condition of the books and the lack of heat which they said was uncomfortable for the staff and patrons. The County wanted to know what steps council was taking to resolve these problems. Deputy-reeve Tom Miller who is on the library board told council he didn't think there was any use trying to carry on with the space heaters Wood heat means extra care A new information sheet on wood energy safety has been produced by the ministry of consumer and commercial relations. "Fire safety precautions are es- sential when you're using Franklin stoves and. other wood-burning appliances," said Herb Jones, director of the ministry's fuels safety branch. "Burning wood may pro- duce a higher temperature than oil or gas. That's why it's important to make sure that flammable items are far enough away from the unit and that it's connected to a chimney or venting system designed to handle these higher temperatures." The information sheet ad- vises consumers to buy only units which have been certified for use with wood by the Canadian Standards Association or the Under- writers' Laboratories of Canada. Precautions that should be taken before in- stallation, adequate clearances and other safety tips are also included.

The clerk was instructed t6 notify the Huron County office that the situation would be attended to right away and they would be notified of any decisions that were made. Council decided to give a donation of $25 to the Canadian Cancer Society. Council was advised that the cost of the Belgrave Street lights had gone up from a total cost of $1600 to $2900.
