Morris road subsidy up for '81
BY DEBBIE RANNEY
Morris Township council learned what its
roads subsidy would be this year and how
much more subsidy would have to be applied
for on Martin's Bridge when they met in
regular council session on Monday.
Council learned that the total estimated
expenditure for Martin's Bridge in 1981 will
be $41,235.86 with a balance ow. ing for
1981 of $37,206.21. The council is now
applying for an extra subsidy of $45,000
because the bridge cost more than was
estimated when the township applied for the
original subsidy.
The Ministry of Transportation has in-
creased, the township's subsidy on road
construction this year. Last year the
township got $61,700 for construction, this
year it will get $71,500; for maintenance last
year it got $102,300 this year $119,000. The
total subsidy last year was $164,000 while
this year's total subsidy will be $190,500.
In other business, Morris had a letter from
the Huron County Federation of Agriculture

been using garbage and converting it into
fertilizer and wondering whether the
township would co-operate in a similar

of arenas. The expiring
annual cost 'in 1980 was
$10,935 and the renewal cost
for 1981 will be $10,387.
