Five steers consigned by Elmer Farm Fisheries legislation worries councillors Rural members of Huron County Council last week expressed frus­ tration with the conflict between provincial and federal legislation regarding municipal drains. Councillors, speaking at the June 6 meeting of county council com­ plained that the provisions of the federal Fisheries Act, now being implemented, makes it impossible for them to cany out their require­ ments under the Ontario Drainage Act. Lionel Wilder, Reeve of Hay Tips on claiming GST By now, most farmers will have had their first experience in filling out their refund forms for GST. If you did not claim the Transi­ tional Tax Credit on line No. 107 of the pink refund form, you must refile the first quarter. To do this, one must call the excise office of Revenue Canada and request a replacement form. Fill out the form as you did the first time, only this time show the lax credit on line No. 107. The calculations for the tax credit are as follows: Under $15,000 sales *TTC is $300 Over $15,000 to $50,000 *TTC is 2% of total sales for highest quarter Maximum TTC is $ 1,000 The credit is $300 - $1,000 based on sales. If a business has annual sales of less than $30,000, no grant is paid. However, $15,000 of sales in any fiscal quarter that started after 1989 and before the end of March 1991, will allow a business to qualify for the grant. This may allow many farms with less than $30,000 to qualify for the TTC. If you have already received your GST Refund cheque from the first form, the second form will replace your original filing and another cheque will be issued for the remainder owing to you. You MUST contact the local excise office of Revenue Canada (blue pages in the phone book) for a new form. You CANNOT claim this credit on the next submission.

Seven steers consigned by Jim Kraemer, Walkerton averaged 1364 lbs. sold for $90. Six steers con­ signed by Bill Van Dyke, Lucknow averaged 1300 lbs sold for $89.14. Twenty-nine steers consigned by John Perrie, Brussels averaged 1269 lbs. sold for $89.06. Six steers township complained that under the drainage act, municipal councils are bound to take action to repair a drain if a petition for work is received by participants in the drain. Under the fisheries legisla­ tion, however, no one is allowed to repair a drain if it might interfere with the habitat of fish. When repairs are done, those making the repairs must be sure they restore the habitat. "This law is more than ridicu­ lous," Reeve Wilder said.lt can cost $176,000 to build a drain but then the council can't repair it because of worry about the fish. "I can't see how fish should have precedence over farm drains. Drainage act legislations requires councillors to take immediate action but it can take several months to get approval from the Ministry of Natural Resources, Reeve Wilder said. Marie Hicknell, Reeve of McKil- lop said the legislation might force municipalities to do repair work in low-flow times in the ditches. Those times, during the summer, would result in more damage to crops. She warned that even shal­ low areas in ditches and streams that farmers use for crossings, could be effected by the legislation. Howick Reeve Norm Fairies said he felt the care taken for fish was ridiculous under the circumstances because the fish habitat wouldn't have been there in the first place if the farm drain hadn't been built. "Why this act would apply to something that is man-mad is beyond me." Council passed a resolution to be circulated to other municipalities calling on the provincial minister of agriculture and the federal minister of fisheries to find a solution to the conflict between the two acts. consigned by Bob Rice, Staffa averaged 1428 lbs. sold for $87.80.
