l/l/esf Wawanosh councillors favour 911 number
The concept of a 911 system for
the counties of Huron and Perth as
proposed by the Huron and Perth
Emergency Health Services Study
Committee was supported by coun
cil members of West Wawanosh at
their February 7 meeting. If the
program can be implemented the
councillors felt that it was a good
idea.
Constable Wayne Moulton of the
Goderich O.P.P. requested of coun
cil that three or four people be
appointed to act on the liason
committee with the constable in
charge of the Dungannon Exten
sion Office. The committee will
consist of an equal number of
members from both Ashfield and
West Wawanosh Townships.
The council approved budgets
submitted by Lucknow Fire Chief,
Bud Hamilton for the Lucknow and
District Fire Board and for the
Blyth and District Community Cen
tre, respectively
Council members from West
Wawanosh attending educational
seminars will be paid $25 a day, as
these seminars will be regarded as
extra meetings.
Dungannon residents, Bob Ed
munds, Glen Olson, Wayne Tuck
er, Bob Mole, and A. J. Sherwood
appeared before council in regard
to the proposed drainage work for
Dungannon. Spokesman, Bob Ed
munds, said that residents want
the drain but are worried it could
be too costly. Residents complain
ed of council “scare tactics” used
to intimidate residents into remov
ing their names from the petition.
Property owners were told at the
meeting that the program could be
debentured and any bill to Dungan
non residents spread over several
years. Some questions could not be
answered until further progress
has been made with the project.
Clerk, Joan Armstrong, received
from Council authorization to write
legislative member, Jack Riddell
and convey council’s objections to
the Provincial Government’s re
strictions in the area of municipal
road funding.
Another meeting of Council was
held the following week on Febru
ary 14 to finish business.
Several resolutions were endors
ed by Council. The first was from
the Town of Paris asking for a
clause to be added to the Municipal
Act requiring Cable TV companies
to pay a “gross receipts tax” to the
municipalities in which their cables
are located.
A resolution was read from the
Town of Iroquois Falls requesting
that Council endorse their petition
to the Province of Ontario in
regards with the funding assistance
for municipalities to enable them to
equip municipal administrative
facilities so that they provide equal
access for all residents. Council
concurred. •
The Town of Fergus sent a
resolution that the National Trans
port Agency, through the Federal
Government, be asked to imple
ment a mortorium on all current
applications and future applica
tions for discontinuance of the rail
services by C.N.R. and C.P.R.
Also, they suggest that no further
track, trestles, or bridges be allow
ed to be removed or rail corridors
be assigned or sold until a complete
study has been done by the Federal
and Provincial Governments on the
effect of all rail service throughout
the country and the feasibility of
regional rail service. This resolu
tion was also endorsed by Council.
It was carried unanimously that
the Reeve and Clerk be authorized
to apply to the Ministry of Trans
portation for a supplementary allo
cation of subsidy monies in the
amount of $80,000.00 to construct a
bridge.
