Morris finishes 1987 with $22,671 surplus
At its regular meeting on
February 16, Morris Township
council learned that it had com
pleted its 1987 fiscal year with a
surplus of $22,671, according to
figures presented by John Jeffery
of Jeffery Chartered Accountants
in Mount Forest.
Because the township office was
closed February 22-24 while clerk
treasurer Nancy Michie attended
the Good Roads Convention in
Toronto, the Citizen was unable to
have her comment on the healthy
surplus in the budget by press
time.

$5.50 per hour to work at the Morris
landfill site and at odd jobs at the
cemeteries, arena, ball parks, etc.
throughout the summer months.
