Morris Twp. council moves toward recycling programme The Township of Morris is the latest local municipality to move towards waste recycling as a method of prolonging the life of its major landfill site. At its regular meeting on October 18. Morris Twp. council authorized clerk-treasurer Nancy Michie to order a recycling bin for the location and to apply for any applicable grants, as well as to order user-cards to identify legitimate users of the site. Brussels council was approach­ ed with an offer to share the bin, which separates glass, tin and newsprint for recycling, but declin­ ed the offer as the village hopes to instigate its own system in the near future. At the November 1 meeting of council, Mrs. Michie reported that the cards had been ordered and will be mailed to landowners prior to December 1, but said Monday that no delivery date for the bin had been promised. The Grey Twp. landfill site at Walton, which serves about 10 per cent of Morris residents, installed both a recycling bin and user-card entry system earlier this year, and has already shipped out its first full bin of recyclable materials. Morris Reeve Doug Fraser noted thatthe Belgrave Women’s Institute had asked council to provide them with a speaker on recycling at their February 21 meeting. Bruce McCall and Les Tervit, chairman and general manager respectively of the Maitland Valley Conservation Authority, attended the November 1 meeting to discuss with council their concerns regard­ ing a report released in June which would, if accepted, affect MVCA boundaries, grants and membership in ways the local authority feels will be detrimental to its usefulness. After hearing the MVCA repre­ sentatives, council instructed Mrs. Michie to draft a letter supporting the MVCA’s stand in rejecting the Stockyard goes on sale Thursday The new owners of Brussels Stockyards will be known tomorrow (Thursday) when tenders for its purchase will be opened at 2 p.m. in the stockyards office by its trustee in bankruptcy, Dunwoody Limited of Toronto. Tenders may be received by the trustee at the stockyards office up until 2p.m. Thursday, or they could have been received at Dunwoody’s Toronto office up until 4 p.m. today (Wednesday), and must be accom­ panied by a bank draft or certified cheque in the amount of 15 per cent of the tendered price as a deposit. On Monday, Bruce McCall, former owner and interim operator of the facility, in partnership with his son, Ross, said that as far as he knew no tenders had been received, and that nobody had applied to inspect the premises last Thursday or Friday, as set aside for the purpose. Viewing could also be arranged by appoint­ ment. Mr. McCall said that he was not in a position to say whether he and Ross will tender on the facility, but added that if notenders are received, he “guesses it is our property as mortgage holders. ’ ’ Ross and Bruce McCall are listed as secured credi­ tors on the property with a $320,000 mortgage on the fixed assets of the facilty they have been operating as McCall Livestock for the past three weeks. The McCalls stepped in to get the business going again after owner­ operator Klaus Henschel apparently fled the country in late October, allegedly taking funds with him, and have been operating on an interim license since November 4. Bruce McCall said that the sales on the past two Fridays have been the largest the facility has seen since it was sold to Mr. Henschel in the spring of 1987; he added that a number of producers have said to him that they “will back right off it another stranger buys it.’’ But Mr. McCall also said that he and Ross weren’t sure if they really wanted it back, after selling it in an attempt to take life a little easier 18 months ago. “We stepped in to open it up again because the producers asked us to, and because something like this isn’t really worth much after it’s been closed for five or six weeks,” he said. “We don’t know for sure where we’ll go from here.” McCall, Riddell clash on payments Continued from page 21 bankruptcy receiver Dunwoody Lim­ ited, in the case of the 4-H members. Later, Bruce McCall, former owner and interim operator of Brussels Stockyards, told The Citi­ zen that “nobody should lose a cent in this’ ’ in the long run, claiming that the CIBC was sitting on more than $790,000 that he (Mr. McCall) had prevented from “leaving the coun­ try’’ in the bankruptcy. The 4-H members, along with more than 175 creditors listed in the stockyaids bankruptcy, have filed claims with Dunwoody Ltd. in an attempt to recover their losses. The creditors involved meet for the first time tomorrow (Thursday) in Brus­ sels to elect inspectors to oversee the payment of claims against the trustee, which will be made on a pro rata basis. proposal on the grounds that the provisions of the report would double the local costs of authority programs, whileatthesame time reducing local representation and accountability. The letter was to be discussed further at the November 15 council meeting. In other business at the November 1 meeting, council passed a motion that the Brussels Branch of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Com­ merce be charged rent at the rate of $300 per month, beginning Novem­ ber 7, for the former premises of Robert Harkness Victorian Millwork at the old township shed, until the equipment and inventory of the business is removed from the premises and the site restored to its former condition. The operators of the business allegedly disappeared last month, apparently leaving their business affairs in disarray. In drainage, council accepted a petition for the cleanout of the Rintoul Drain at Lot 25, Concession 6; council also agreed to have the Bone Drain at Lot 16, Concession 2 levelled under the Drain Mainten­ ance program to comply with a requestfrom landownerTom Miller. In addition, Councillor Bob Grasby reportedthathehad represented council at the on-site meeting on October 21 for the proposed drain for Lots 4-5, Concession 4-5. At the recommendation of Chief Building Official Leo Sanders, build- ing permits were approved for garages for both Lloyd Appleby on Concession 7 and Clarence Goll on Concession 2, as well as for Kincardine Cable TV for the erection of a TV tower on Hamilton Street in Belgrave. At the October 18 meet­ ing , bu ilding permits were approved for Rainer Saur for a driving shed and entry room to a residence on Lot 17, Concession 9, and for Roy Siddersfor a maple sugar shed on Lot 6, Concession 4. In addition, council approved demolition per­ mits to Fred Brewer for a barn on Lot 25-26, Concession 1; and to Murray, Bruce and Ken Fischer for a residence at Lot 25, Concession 6; both were granted at four times the normal cost since the buildings were removed before demolition permits were issued. Paul Moffatt of RR 4, Wingham, Morris Township’s representative to the Wingham Recreation Com­ mittee, advised council that he is selling his property and will be unable to re pre sent the township after January, 1989. Council passed a by-law authoriz­ ing the execution of an agreement to authorize the Wingham Fire Depart - ment to become part of a County Rescue and Support System for Fire Protection; it also passed a by-law authorizing the 1988 tax billing for the township. Council also passed a motion authorizing Mrs. Michie to apply for the remaining Ontario Home Re­ newal Program (OHRP) grant of $19,938 available to Morris Twp. for the 1988-89 fiscal year; as well as to prepare a draft application for the PRIDE program to be presented to council November 15, to include the paving of Hamilton, John and Jane Streets in Belgrave, as well as to include sidewalks for Brandon and Jane Streets. Council also agreed to accept a proposal from the Belgrave Women’s Institute that will make it possible for renovations to the W.I. hall in the hamlet to be included in the PRIDE application.
