Morris gets warning about waste disposal site
BY DOROTHY FOXTON
Morris Township council was
threatened with closure of its
township waste disposal site un-
less it complies with no -burning
and proper garbage -covering rules
by the Ministry of the Environment
in a letter read at township council
February 4.
The letter warned that there
must be compaction of the garbage
and covering every two weeks and
there must be absolutely no
burning of household refuse or the
ministry would rescind the certifi-
cate of approval which allows the
site to operate.
An angered Reeve Doug Fraser
said the township can't afford to
have a bulldozer sitting at the
dump site so it will be available to
cover garbage every two weeks.
He said such rules might result
in everyone taking their refuse out
to the back field and burning it.
Reeve Fraser said by burning the
dumpsite there is just one big
smoke instead of a whole lot of little
ones. He didn't think Morris
should be under the same regula-
tions say as Toronto because it just
isn't the same thing. Councillor
Bob Grasby said burning takes a
quarter of the space and cuts down
on rodents. Council said they
would try to go along with the
Ministry, but felt that they would
have to push for burning even if it
meant writing a letter to their
member of parliament about chan-
ging the law. Bob Grasby said he
thinks they are trying to close down
small dump sites and just have a
county one.
Council voted to grant the
Belgrave, Blyth and Brussels
school fair one hundred dollars in
answer to a letter with thanks for
supporting them other years.
Ralph Clayton and Donna McGee
representatives of the Ministry of
Agriculture and Food spoke to
council about a Drain Maintenance
program and appointing a Drain-
age Superintendent. Council is
seriously considering appointing a
superintendent. In order to do this
the person appointed would have
to take a course and write an exam
tobecome certified. He then would
be in charge of repair work on all
township drains. Council can
receive a grant for a third of
construction costs and 50 per cent
of the superintendent's salary. The
other 50 per cent of his salary would
come out of general funds.
Deputy Reeve Clem McClellan
was appointed to sit on an Industry
Resolution asks appeal deposit
BY BOB MURPHY
A Goderich Township resolution
which seeks amendment to the
Drainage Act calling for a deposit
to accompany all appeals was
endorsed Thursday by Huron
County council.
During its regular February
session at the court house in
Goderich, council endorsed the
resolution on the recommendation
of its executive committee.
The Goderich Township resolu-
tion requests agriculture and Food
MinisterJackRiddell to amend the
Drainage Act to allow for the
deposit of $100 to accompany any
appeal to the drainage tribunal.
Such a deposit is to be refunded
entirely should the tribunal alter
the engineer's report which has
been the subject of appeal.
However, the deposit is to be
retained by the municipality in the
event the engineer's report is
upheld.
Development Committee with
Brussels and Grey township. Clerk
Nancy Michie read council a letter
from Tuckersmith Township Day
Care Centre concerning costs for
running the centre. Apparently
there are three children from
Morris attending the centre and
they say if the township doesn't
participate in the costs they cannot
consider children out of the
municipality first. Council has
never paid any of the operating
deficit before. Councillor Burt
Elliott said since the township
doesn't support the Wingham day
care centre it couldn't very well pay
into one and not the other. Bob
Grasby said if the Tuckersmith
centre has extra operating costs it
should charge enough to cover it.
Council received a letter from
Murray Elston thanking them for
their support of the Ontario
Federation of Agriculture Morat-
orium. He said that he hopes the
family farm once again becomes a
viable operation.
George Proctor addressed coun-
cil on the Belgrave Community
Centre budget for 1986. The
budget showed expenditures of
$24,205.
Mr. Procter said the assessment
of $4,525 for miscellaneous hard-
ware and repairs is mainly to meet
the demands on fixing the arena.
He said $2500 is already spent and
they are hoping that the $4,525 will
cover it. When asked if, since the
township is wet now, he thought
that would make a difference for
dances or whatever at the arena, he
said he didn't know but he didn't
really think so.
Mr. Proctor thanked the town-
ship for supporting the Belgrave
Community Centre.
Harry Brydges of Belgrave will
be counting dogs in Morris town-
ship at $1.30 per dog. A motion was
passed to tender 25,000 cubic feet
of crushed gravel for the north side
of Morris township for 1986.
Another motion was passed to
increase grader operator Wayne
Hopper's salary from seven dollars
an hour to eight as of February
first.
Agrantwasgiventothe Blyth
Festival for $100 and a donation to
the March ofDimesfor$10. The
Township of Morris Fire protection
for 1985 grant for Brussels fire calls
was $1,000 and 1985 calls were
$1,000. Blyth 1985 calls were
$3,000 and the levy was $4,050.
