No grants to clubs from Hullett
Hullett Township council has
passed a motion establishing a
policy of refusing to give grants to
local service clubs as a means of
support, reasoning that council
already supports local recreation
programs through levies and
through donations to community
centres.
The motion was made by
councillors Harvey Stewart and
Robert Szusz at a meeting of
township council on April 21, in
response to a delegation from a
local service club which attended
the meeting to make the request. A
spokesman for the township refus
ed to disclose the affiliation of the
delegation.
Part of the motion reads * ‘we feel
that service clubs are a welcome
asset to the community, but as each
service club services their own
immediate area that it is not fair to
theratepayerofthe township to
support their activities by giving
township grants when various
means of fund raising are available
to the clubs.”
In other business, Hullett coun
cil has authorized clerk Harry Lear
to arrange a meeting with the
provincial and federal electoral
boundary commissions to improve
and finalize the boundaries of the
electoral districts within the town
ship prior to the next election,
which couldoccur later this spring.
Assistant clerk Bev Shaddick said
that previously Hullett boundaries
have differed in both federal and
provincial elections, causing a
certain amount of confusion and
inconvenience to voters unsure of
the location of their polling station.
Mr. Lear was also authorized to
pre-pay the first quarter install
ments of the levies imposed by
boththeHuronCounty Board of
Education and Huron County
Council as the township’s share of
the budgets of the two bodies. He
was also instructed to send a letter
to the Ministry of Transport and
Communications and to local
members of government adding
support to a recent request that
Highway #4 be re-built between
Blyth and Wingham; and to the
Township of Horton and various
officials supporting Horton’s re
solution to consider funding for the
purchase of motorized firefighting
equipment for small municipali
ties.
Also at the meeting Council
approved the Clinton Fire Area
Board budget for 1987; and called
foranengineeringreporton the
reconstruction of several Londes-
boro streets, including Elizabeth
street from Sara street to Silver
street and Silver street to County
Road 15.
The next meeting of council was
called for May 5.
