BLYTH Two Bluevale-area landowners met with Morris Township Council on June 16 to register their objections to the new Centre Sideroad Drainage project first proposed for Bluevale several months ago. After receiving letters from council regarding the chang­ es to be made to the drain, Albert Kitchen and Doug French, both of RR 2, Bluevale, asked for the audience with council to explain their point of view. In May, Morris Council accepted atenderfor repairstothe drain, with work planned to begin in July. Earlier this month, township clerk­ treasurer Nancy Michie sent a letter to all Bluevale residents affected by the drainage proposal, explaining that the project would remove three culverts which are now in place under the Centre Sideroad, and would enable land­ owners to connect their properties directly to the new drain. However, Mr. French and Mr. Kitchen objected to the scheme, saying that they had paid for one of the culverts and to have it installed in 1984, and either wanted the culvert left in place, or compensa­ tion from the township for their culvert. Later, Mr. Kitchen agreed to connect to the new drain if he was compensated for the culvert, but Mr. French will not. At this point, Council said the matter would be taken under further consideration, and later on in the meeting, Road Superintendent Lloyd Michie re­ commended that at least one culvert be left in place to carry away surface water, but council has left the matter in abeyance pending further discussion. In other council news, it was disclosed that council will meet with representatives from John Deere, Champion and Caterpillar at the end of June to review the specifications for the new township grader, authorized earlier this month by the Ministry of Transpor­ tation and Communication. Coun­ cil will tender for the new grader following these discussions. The Morris councillors also decided that extra chloride should beappliedtoTownshiproads while extra traffic is being created by gravel trucks, and that the applica­ tion of Tembin, a new product for dust control, should be continued. They also decided that it is unnecessary to spray for roadside OUR NEW STOCK PATONS YARN has arrived! In a wide variety of colours ------Plus------------- knitting needles and patterns.

Councillor Howie Morton said that he had received a telephone call from a Belgrave homeowner who objected to having to pay a share of the cost of the new streetlights soon to be installed, as she had paid toward the old ones when they were first erected. However, following a discussion on the matter, council felt that an equal assessment on all affected homeowners must be considered. Council has turned down a request from Leslie Short of Belgrave to have a “hidden driveway’’ sign installed at his propertyonConcession4. How­ ever, Road superintendent Michie has offered to ask Ontario Hydro to consider the matterwhen it installs new poles later this year. Councillor Bob Grasby and drainage superintendent Gary Nicholson will inspect the drainage ditch on Lot 9, Concession 3, following a complaint from Clea- son Martin of RR 4, Wingham that beavers are blocking the drain. A motion was passed to forward a letter to the village of Brussels asking that it re-consider a motion to increase water and sewer rates forout-of-towncustomers by as much as two times the amount billed until last January. In making the motion, Deputy Reeve Clem McLellan said that since Morris Council feels it has a good working relationship with Brussels regard­ ing waste disposal and fire protec­ tion, the matter of increased rates should be re-considered. A letter will also be forwarded to the Wingham Area Fire Board advising that Morris Township is not in favour of the proposal that the Ontario Fire Marshall’s office conduct a survey of the needs of the Board, on the grounds that the Fire Board cannot afford the survey. Building permits were approved as follows: to Bob Grasby of RR 4, Brussels, for anew residence in Belgrave; Clem McLellan and Jane VanCamp, both of Concession 5, Morris Twp., both for new sun decks; and to Cory Sanders, of Concession 6 for a new storage shed. Morris Council members will attend the Blyth Festival Theatre on “Local Government Night” June 23, and will meet again at 7 p.m. on July 2.
