Morris discusses calcium chloride complaints
A discussion was held at the
April 3 meeting of Morris Town
ship Council regarding the peti
tions they had received from rate
payers requesting that additional
chloride be applied to township
roads.
Councillor Bert Elliott stated that
he had been contacted by a
ratepayer who said that the chlor
ide was not the problem the last
two years, as much as it was the
quality of the gravel applied to the
roads.
It was mentioned by Councillor
Clem McLellan that he had dis
cussed the additional application
with ratepayers and none were in
favour of a tax increase to pay for
the second application.
Council members were given a
copy of the letter sent to ratepayers
in response to the petition.
A grant of $200 was given to the
Belgrave, Blyth and Brussels
School Fair Board to be mailed in
September.

reviewed.

proposal in the amount of $10,627
less the premium for the buildings
at Lot 15, Cone 6., which has been

The agents advised Council
concerning a letter from Wingham

proposed guard rails along the
drive. They suggested to Council
that it should be determined that
the property where the rails are to
be installed is owned by the
township as they have no liability
on private land.
Mr. Elliott noted that logs are
being removed from a field on
Cone. 8 causine a dangerous road
situation and suggested that Road

health systems in Ontario for
necessary operations.

since the landowners plan to share
crop or farm the farmland. The
building permit was issued and Mr.
Riley returned to the meeting.

issued to: Heinz Schedler, north
half Lot 16, Cone. 5, residence;
Charles and Helena Kreiger, com

Monoway Farms, Lot 13, Cone. 6
and George Blake, Lot 30, Cone. 9.
Building Official Leo Sanders was
presented with a copy of the
condition for the Blake application
and he will inspect the residence
when requested by the owner.
A discussion was held concern
ing Queen’s Hotel in Belgrave and
it was decided that a letter be
mailed to the owners advising them
that within seven days they erect a
snow fence around the open exca
vation areas and access to building
to restrict children from entering
the property, due to the fact that
citizens have expressed concern
with the safety of the building.
It was agreed that should a fence
not have been erected by April 11,
the township would erect one at the
expense of the owner.
Council donated pins, a spoon
and a pen for the Junior Farmers
for a fundraising auction.

Mr. John Kruger has been ap
pointed as the new chairman of the

The quote submitted by Pollard
Highway Products for calcium
chloride at a price of $226.96 per
flake equivalent Imperial ton was
accepted.

interest (14% % at that time) is less
at the bank to borrow than the
County’s rate of 15 per cent for late
payments. Payment amount is
$46,218.75.
Mr. Michie discussed the idea of
a storm sewer for the east end of
Jane St., in Belgrave and Council
stated that if the landowners
petition for the sewer, then it will
be considered.

of $16,157.62 were authorized for
