CONTACT THE COACH HOUSE TRAVEL SERVICE THE BRUSSELS POST, SEPTEMBER 19 1979 — 8 4 Morris discusses. arena The signing of the agreement between Morris and East Wawanosh councils regard- ing the Belgrave Community Centre resulted in a lot of discussion when Morris Township Council held its regular meeting on Tuesday afternoon. One of the main concerns of Morris council members was a, sentence stating that the agreement could not be dissolved unless both councils agreed to sign to dissolve it. Morris also thought there should be an addition to one sentence in the agreement that stated that the two councils would divide any deficit 50-50. Some of the council members didn't like the idea of guarantee- ing to pay the deficit no matter what the circumstances. They thought that if the Community Centre Board knew they were going to have a deficit they should inform council members of it beforehand. It was finally decided by council that Morris council would meet with members of Grey Township Council accepted the tender of Looby Builders of Dublin of $168,083 for the building of a new bridge on Concession Road 1 and 2, opposite Lot 6 and 7 in Grey Township at its regular council meeting Tuesday night. Other tenders were MacLean-Foster Con- struction of St. Marys - $172,909.60; Logan Contracting Ltd. of Stratford - $215,228.65; and Owen King Ltd. of Walkerton - $182,233. Grey council also discussed the proposed equalization factors for tax assessment. At a recent Hurcin County Council meeting where the proposed assessment was discussed, many of the township reeves and deputy- reeves had expressed dissatisfaction as the proposed equalization factors would increase the rural area assessment while lowering that of the towns. Under the new system, which has not yet been made law, Grey Township's taxation would be as follows: In secondary education their 1979 apportioned actual requirement H uronview residents the East Wawanosh council to talk over the agreement. In a discussion on previous meeting minutes, council rescinded a motion due to the fact that the application for a severance in the name of Keith and Bonnie Pletch was withdrawn by Mr. Pletch's solicitor Bob Campbell and re-submitted in the name of Sam and Thelma Pletch at the Land Division Hearing. Also in connection with the Pletch subdivision, council received a letter from Burns. Ross engineers stating several things that still had to be done in the subdivision before the roads would be up to MTC standards. Morris council had agreed to take over the roads in the subdivision only after they had been brought up to MTC standards. Council also discussed the new provisional equalization assessment proposal which has not yet been made law. The new assess- was $113,757: If the Provincial Equalizing Factor had been used the apportionment would have been $145,718. That would represent an increase of $31,961 or 28.1 per cent. In elementary education the actual 1979 apportioned requirement was $128,901 whereas if the PEF had been used the aportioned requirement would have been $165,990. That would represent an increase of $37,089 or 28.77 Der cent. In Grey's County apportionments for the 1979 General and Highway Requisitions, the actual requisition was $92,702 but if the PEF had been used the apprortioned requirement would have been $107,Q80, an increase of $14,378 or 15.5 per cent. Because the discussion at County Council on the proposed assessment had been a bit confusing council decided to set up a meeting with Floyd Jenkins the assessment commissioner from Goderich so he could , explain it in more detail to them. .inents had been discussed at County Council and Reeve Bill Elston said the rural municipalities whose assessment would be increased, two, or three times were upset. Morris Township had the second highest assessment. Under the new system Morris' taxation would be as follows: In secondary education their 1979 actual apportioned requirement was $84,320. Had the 'Provincial Equalizing Factor (PEF) been used, the 1979 apportioned requirement would be $119,568. That represents an increase of $35,248 or 41.80 per cent. In elementary education the actual 1979 apportioned requirement was $98,511 com- pared with $140,480 if the PEF had been used. That would mean an increase of ,$41,969 or 42.60 per cent.
