The Citizen, 1989-02-15, Page 11Morris dog
taxes rise
200%
Morris Township council has
passed a motion to pave the way for
the preparation of a bylaw which
will see the cost of dog licences in
the township raised by 200 to 250
per cent in 1989.
At its February 7 meeting,
council unanimously approved a
motion which will see the licence
fee for the first male or spayed
female owned by any township
resident raised to $10 in 1989, a 200
per cent increase over the $5
charged in 1988. All other males or
spayed females owned by the same
individual will pay a fee of $20
each, also up by 200 per cent over
the $10 fee in 1988; while each
unspayed female will cost its owner
$25 in 1989, up by 250 per cent over
the $10 fee in 1988.
In approving the increases, coun
cil members hope to be able to
cover both the annual costs of dog
control in the township as well as
the average annual cost of claims
against the township by farmers
who have livestock killed by dogs
running loose.
Morris Twp. clerk-treasurer
Nancy Michie said that of the
$2,200 collected in licence fees last
year, close to $2,000 had been paid
out in dog control costs, which
include the cost of the dog counter,
the cost of the licence tags, and the
cost of the animal control officer
who must travel from Fergus each
time there is an animal to be picked
up. In addition, Mrs. Michie said
that another $2,500 had been
included in the 1988 township
budget for livestock claims, most of
which has had to be raised, until
now, by some other means.
The new fee structure will put
the Morris Twp. licence fees more
in line with those charged in
surrounding townships, said coun
cillor Wayne Riley, who served as
the dog counter in Grey Twp. last
year.
Harry Brydges of Belgrave has
been re-hired to count the dogs in
Morris and to collect their licence
fees, at a tendered cost of $1.95 per
dog, up from the $1.70 per dog paid
to him in 1988.
Mr. Brydges will begin work
within the next few weeks, Mrs.
Michie said, with all fees payable
at the time of his initial visit to any
dogowner.

After enjoying the many desserts

wasn’t very large with only five
tables of euchre in play, everyone
seemed to have a good time with
many prizes given out at the close
of the 10 games.
High lady was Phyllis Mitchell;
