THE CITIZEN, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1986, Bill Partridge, Huron County’s chief librarian and chairman of the County and Regional Municipality Librarians of Ontario was in Blyth last week to present a certificate to librarian Pat Brigham, who recently completed a library supervisor’s course at the Kampenfelt Bay Staff Training Centre, near Barrie. Morris council donates to Walton park Morris Township Recreation Committee has donated $500 to the Walton and Area Sports Commit­ tee, to be used toward the installation of a new fence at the Walton ball park. Margaret Taylor and Beverley McCall of the Walton committee attended the council meeting on October 21 to request a donation to help offset the estimated cost of $6,331 for the fence, and for the operation of the recreation com­ mittee. Morris Recreation Com­ mittee met to discuss the matter immediately following the tegular council meeting. A delegation of landowners also attended the meeting to discuss a Bluevale drainage proposal with council, involving a drainage system across land owned by Mac Black. Council advised that Mr. Black had agreed to the proposal, which would cost an estimated $7,000 to cross Mr. Black’s field, and a further $2,000 to install a drain along the houses on lots 8-24 in Plan 167. Landowners Raymond Schmidt, Harris Campbell and Glen Warwick, all present, agreed to sign up for the project immedi­ ately, which would see each of their homes connected to the new drainage system at an approximate cost of $1,000 each, payable at the time of connection. Murray Fear, Doug French and Ed Stewart all advised that they would consider the project, and Albert Kitchen told council he was not interested in joining. An agreement will be drawn up immediately and mailed to the landowners for their review and consideration. Those who agree to connect into the system will sign the agreement and notify the municipal office. In other business, Council brief­ ly discussed the adoption of a building code and the relevant by-laws, but the matter was deferred until a later date. A committee consisting of Reeve Doug Fraser, councillor Howie Morton, and clerk-treasurer Nancy Michie was set up to review the procedural by-laws of council, and report back to council at the November 18 meeting. As an interim measure, to control the length of the next council meeting on Nov. 4, council agreed that accounts would be presented at 10:30 p.m., and that the meeting be adjourned follow­ ing the completion of accounts. Road superintendent Lloyd Michie reported that he had looked at a truck suitable for the sander for a price of $7,500, and was advised that Reeve Fraser would inspect the vehicle for suitability. Mr. Michie was also authorized to proceed with the paving of the 4th concession at the edge of Belgrave. A lot has happened at Grey Central this past week. Last Friday both our kindergarten classes brought their moms, dads, grand­ parents and friends to introduce them to their teacher, Miss Gottfried. The parents’ association served juice, tea, and cookies and the kindergarten pupils supplied the entertainment. A great time was had by all. Also last Friday Mr. Perrie brought his cider press to school and his grade four class saw, first BYANNM0RT0N& SANDY EARL hand, how apple juice was prepar­ ed. Each class member got a taste of fresh juice and some took a samplehomefortheirfamily. It was a great experience. Our grade seven class brought the efforts of three planning sessions to bear on Monday when they painted six games on our pavement area. These games range from a version of “twister” tohopscotch. The young people will surely have a grea time playing here. Thankyou toall the Grade seven pupils and Mr. Garland. oooC COMPLETE SALES, SERVICE & INSTALLATION OF POOLS & SPAS Middegaal 234 Main St.N.
