Thanksgiving service was held at St. Pauls, Kirkton ByJEFF SEDDON Huron county council decided Thursday to make illegal tree cutting in the county a very expensive proposition. County council told its development committee to rewrite the county tree cutting bylaw to incorportae recent changes in the Trees Act. The Trees Act, provincial legislation aimed at con- trolling the cutting of trees and clearing of forested areas, carries no weight in the county unless county council passes a bylaw to enforce it. Murray Dawson, Usborne deputy-reeve, told council that recent amendments to the Tree Act put "more teeth" in the county bylaw. He said the big change was in fines now levied for of- fenders of the bylaw, Under the present bylaw, which council will rescind to pass the updated version, the maximum fine for illegally cutting trees was $500. The maximum will now be $5,000. The other changes will deal with application procedures for landowners wishing to clear forested areas. Any owner planning to clear land will have to make application to the county. Notice of the proposed land clearing will then be given to surrounding landowners and they will have 21 days to object. If no Sunday morning. Rev. Mary Mills assisted by Mr. Walter Creary was in charge of the service. Several members from St. Patrick's church attrended. Mr. and Mrs. Ford Dyer and Mr. and Mrs. Rick Taylor and children, Sarnia were Sunday guests with Mr. and Mrs. Wayne Carroll, Mr. and Mrs. Earl Greenlee were guests of honour on their anniversary party for six couples at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Squire, Centralia Saturday evening.

Tindall on the occasion of their 51st wed- ding anniversary. Mrs. Fred Dobbs, Freddie and Patti attended Teeswater fair on Saturday and spent the weekend with Mrs. Dobbs father, Mr. H.S. McLean, They were joined Saturday evening by Fred Dobbs. objection is raised the county will then issue the permit if it feels the clearing is justified. If an objection is raised the matter will be dealt with by council or in court. Marvin Smith of the ministry of natural resources said the changes in the act are designed to protect forests not bush lots, He said the act clearly describes the type of trees and the concentration of trees that are to be protected, e He said if an owner has three acres of hawthorne and three maple trees the act would not prevent him from clearing the land. But he added that if an acre of land contained 400 or more trees it would be protected by the Trees Act. Smith said the legislation is designed to protect a valuable resource. He said if counties "vigorously uphold" the Trees Act it does a "very good job" of protecting forest areas. SiniSh said forested areas of the county are necessary for a number of reasons. He said the forests play a great role in the depth of the water table as well as preventing soil erosion. He said the ideal ratio for forest to open land is 80-20, 20 percent of the land forested. But he added that if 10 percent of the land is under furest "that's not bad", Smith said that if a lan- downer started clearing trees from a protected area without a permit he may be liable for a fine but also can be ordered to replant the area cleared, He pointed out that in some areas of Huron county the tree act is needed badly while in others the ratio of forest and open land is ideal, He said townships in the south of the county are almost void of trees while some in the north are the opposite. Smith said Huron county has a decent ratio of forest to cleared land that hasn't changed much in the past 20 years. He said 13.6 percent of the land in Huron is under forest compared to 7.4 percent in Perth county; He added that that figure has changed less than two percent in the past 24 years. He said of all the land in Usborne township 4,5 per- cent is forest, McKillop is 5.8 percent and Ashfield is 7.8 percent, all below the ideal ratio. But he added that townships like Goderich and East Wawanosh are a little better than 20 percent forest which brings the county average up Morris reeve Bill Elston reminded county council Thursday that when a lan- downer clears a sizeable bush area the effect can be wideranging. He said in areas in the south of the county wind erosion is causing problems adding that in some areas near in his own township clearing land has caused drainage problems. Elston said he realized that with land as valuable as it is he understood why owners wanted land cleared for crop production, But he added that drainage problems created sometimes force councils into installing 'municipal drains that cost all taxpayers money. Dawson told council the development committee wanted to find out as much as possible about the repercussions of the bylaw so it didn't make any mistakes. He said the bylaw does more than protect trees. Dawson said his township told its tree commissioner to "throw out the permit book" and inspect every ap- plication himself. He said the commissioner was told that anytime there was "any nitty gritty he didn't know what to do with to bring it to council". Brussels reeve Calvin Kreuter, a plumber by trade, told council that lowering the water table would be an expensive proposition. He said if council ignored the Trees Act there would be a lot of plumbers "happy to sell submersible pumps that go down a long way for water and you're going to be paying $1,500 and $2,,000 for them", The new bylaw will be. brought back for council's action in October or November.
