Will extend
Be!grave sewer
BY DEBBIE RANNEY
Three Belgrave residents attended Morris
Township council's meeting Monday night
to discuss some of the storm sewers in
Belgrave.
Attending the meeting were Burns Ross of
B.M. Ross and Associates in Goderich,
Lewis Stonehouse, Bert Johnston and Jim
Lamont to discuss the storm drainage
problem on Jane Street.
After a discussion, council decided to go
ahead with plans to extend the storm sewer
outlet but to investigate how big an area they
would do and the costs involved first.
Council discussed the Ontario Neighbour-
hoo d Improvement Program and wondered
if perhaps they could get a 50 per cent grant
under this program toward the sewer work
in Belgrave. This is to be investigated
further.
Council had no objections td the Turnberry
Township Secondary Plan. Couacil concurr-
ed with a resolution from the township of
Kingston which said that provincial govern-
ments should be requested to review the
education tax system in consultation with the
municipalities of Ontario.
Minor exceptions to the trees act were
approved for Rae Huether, Bert and Frank

It's the pits
There was much discussion over a by-law
to regulate the erection and use of liquid
manure pits in the township of Grey, at a
recent Grey Township Council meeting, but
in the end, a 4-1 recorded vote won out in
favour.
The by-law states all liquid manure pits
including alterations and additions must be
constructed of reinforced concrete or steel or
be lined with a suitable material as approved
by the township. In the event farm stock is
housed over the pit, such housing shall be
fully enclosed, save for access doors and
ventilation.
There ha to be a six month storage. All
storage pits will be fenced with a 4-foot high
woven wire fence. No run-off or seepage
from any storage pit is to -enter any op-en or
enclosed municipal drain or enter any
drainage tile leading to such a drain. All
storage pits are to be properly and officially
maintained and operated according to the
Ministry of Agriculture and Food Code of
Practice.
All building permit applications for liquid
manure pits must have a certificate of
compliance from the Ministry of the
Environment before a building permit will
be issued.
Permit is $23
At. long last, after many months of
waiting, the-sewage plant -is running and
BruSsela residents can hook up their sewer
connections.
Permits to do So, howevet, have- to be
obtained at the municipal clerk's office first
at a cost of $23. The first place in the village
to get a hook-up was the Olympia Restatirant
Monday.
Any person who contravenes any provis-
ions of this by-law shall be guilty of an
offence and upon summary conviction is
liable to a penalty not exceeding $100,
exclusive of costs, and the continuance of the
condition constituting the offence for each
day shall constitute a new offence.
In other council business, 12 building
permits approyed were for: Alan Baker, feed

bin; a demolition permit for 420391 Ontario
Limited for a house; Michael Gulutzen,
