manure tank, cautiously
MorrisTownship Council has
given cautious approval to the use
of an earthen liquid manure tank
just north of County Road 16,
although it is concerned that the
tank’s proximity to a municipal
drain could result in seepage into
the drain.
In November, Council had re
quested the installation of a
concrete holding tank at Lot 24,
south part of Concession 5;
however, no further action will be
taken in the matter due to the fact
that the original tank was installed
prior to the adoption of the liquid
manure storage by-law in the
township.
A letter was mailed to landowner
Cornelius VanderPryt and to ten
ant Allan Krotz thanking them for
installing a fence around the open
pit as requested by council; it also
suggested that the tank be kept
pumped out to lessen the danger of
seepage into the drain.
Bruce Bromley and Ray McNi
chol, the township’s representa
tives to the Blyth Community
Centre Board, attended council’s
December 1 meeting to discuss the
proposed funding agreement for
the Blyth board. No agreement was
made as to Morris’s percentage of
funding under the agreement,
since all the user percentage
figures are not yet in for a study
being conducted by the Board,
which reports that it hopes com
munity groups will undertake
some of the fundraising required.
Mr. McNichol told council that
he wished to resign his position on
the Blyth board for 1988, because
of other commitments. His resig
nation was accepted with regret,
effective in January, 1988.
Council approved a grant of
$1,000 to the Morris Twp. Recrea
tion Committee; it also approved a
grant of $500 to the Brussels,
Morris and Grey Industrial Com
mittee, and a grant of $100 to the
Huron County Christmas Bureau.
At the Recreation Committee
meeting immediately following the
council meeting, a grant of
$4,403.43 to the Wingham Recrea
tion Board was approved, as were
the meeting expenses incurred by
various township recreational per
sonnel.
A letter was received from a
landowner in Morris Township’s
Plan 100 expressing concern that
the survey stakes recently installed
at Chestnut Street had been
ploughed out. A meeting was set
up for January 26 between council,
landowners in Plan 100, and the
township’s solicitor to discuss the
present and future status of street
allowances in the plan.
Council learned that a title
search of McCrae’s Cemetery at
Belgrave did not reveal the original
position of the entrance to the lot.
Solicitor Alan Mills said that
trustees of the Anglican Church,
the registered owner of the
cemetery, would have to set up an
agreement with the adjoining
landowner to ascertain the en
trance way, in order that the plot
may be maintained as agreed
earlier.
Drainage matters took up much
of council’s time at the meeting,
with a number of matters discuss
ed. Dave Johnson of Johnson
Engineering was in attendance to
present his statement for work
done on the Grasby Drain Branch
B, and to explain his fee. It was
agreed that the township would
absorb the extra costs entailed by
the tribunal held in conjunction
with the drain, just over $900, and
that landowners would be notified
of the move.
Mr. Johnson also explained why
the route of the Grasby Drain had
been moved slightly to the east; he
also reported that he was satisfied
with the Parker Drain reconstruc
tion, and said that any additional
costs entailed by the reconstruc-
