Morris sets millrate for Belgrave residents Morris council passed a by-law, ncreasing the millrate by 5.6% ►ver last year at a meeting on May L The proposed budget was pre- ;ented to council at a meeting on Xpril 23. The township's share of the ncrease is 4.17% Council also passed another by law, establishing a special millrate for residents of Belgrave. This was set because of the community improvement projects of street lights, new sidewalks and paving in the hamlet. On residential property assessed at $50,000, taxpayers will pay $57.90 above the normal tax increase. Taxes for this year will be due on June 21 and November 22. The tile drainage inspector Ken Shortreed, discussed a problem that arose during an inspection of a tile drain at Lot 9,10 of Concession 10. The tiling, Mr. Shortreed explained, was not taken to suffi cient outlet and he felt this should be done before approval for tiling could be given. Mr. Shortreed told council he would contact the Min istry of Natural Resources and the county for their comments, since the water outlets under the county road. It was agreed that if the county and MNR have no concerns, it would be noted in the tile drainage report, that the water was not taken to sufficient outlet. Councillor Clem McLellan, declared a pecuniary interest regarding a zoning amendment for Lot 25, Concession 5, as he is the proposed purchaser of the property. Council opened a public meeting to discuss the issue. It was noted the county, the Ministry of Agricul ture and Food and the Ontario Min istry of Agriculture and Food had no objections to the request. Council passed a motion to amend the zoning for the property to AG4 as a condition of severance. Road Superintendent Lloyd Michie was complimented by coun cil on the good job being done by the grader operators. Four tenders for pit run gravel were presented to council and opened. The tender of Lloyd Jack- lin Construction of RR1, Listowel was accepted at the bid of $1.53 per yard with the total price being $14,733.70, including GST. This amount is for the supply, load, and haul of 9,000 cubic yards of pit run granular B gravel for Lot 16-18, Concession 8/9. The quote of George Wraith and Co. Ltd. of Goderich at the bid price of $5,195.19, including GST and PST, and shoes, pending approval after a trial period, for a roadside mower, was accepted. Council discussed the options for the tendering for the sand storage building. They were informed they could ask for quotes for the con struction and have the contractor design plans to be approved by MTO. It was noted that al the pre sent time, only six contractors in Ontario have had plans approved, or have prepared a set of plans already approved by the Ministry of Transportation, for tender. Councillor Wayne Riley made a motion to appoint Art Clarke, of Maitland Engineering Service, in Wingham, to prepare a plan to be approved by the Ministry for a 40' by 40' sand/salt storage shed. Council would prefer to see the plans at the May 21 meeting, prior to tenders being let. The tenders will be submitted to the local papers and be due by June 4. Council accepted the quote of Pollard Bros, in Harrow, Ontario, to supply and apply calcium chlo ride for the township roads, at the price of $262.99 per metric tonne, including GST. The road accounts, in the amount of $24,645,98 were approved for payment. Karl MacNaughton, owner of the Walton Inn, was present to voice his displeasure over council's request that he get a petition signed by at least 25% of die town ship's voters before it will proceed with a liquor vote. Also, Mr. Mac- Naughton feels that as the township as a whole would benefit from the vote, he thinks it is unfair that he be asked to pay any costs for the liquor vote, that will be over and above the regular election expendi tures. He asked for council's further consideration regarding this mat ter. Glen Montgomery, of Lot 1, Concession 6, joined the meeting to ask for drainage repair on the Gras- by Drain Branch B. He signed a petition and Mr. McLellan and drainage superintendent, Gary Nicholson, will inspect the site before the work begins. Building Official, Leo Sanders, told council he had inspected the body shop in Belgrave, which is being used for a paint shop. Mr. Sanders said he will further inspect this matter and report back to coun cil. Mr. Sanders informed council that during an inspection at Peter Oldridge’s RR2, Blyth residence, he was bitten by a dog and had to report to the hospital for medical attention. Council was advised of an addi tion to a pig bam at Lot 10, Con cession 8, and of a letter from the owner saying he doesn't plan to expand his operation, only to finish the pigs he has.
