Wawanosh council to ask government for money TREES A special meeting of West Wawanosh was held on Monday, May 4 to deal with some items from the agenda for the regular meeting to be held the next night. It was decided that the Ministry of Municipal Affairs should reim­ burse the township the sum of $1,105 for unpaid taxes from 1988. The decision was reached because the Ministry had agreed to pay a special subsidy to the county ratepayers whose taxes would increase significantly due to the introduction in 1988 of the market value assessment. As the Ministry has underpaid the amount of $1,105 to the town­ ship, the auditor said they could write it off or request payment. A donation of $100 was made to the Dungannon 4H group toward the cost of a sign to be constructed and erected at the edge of the vil­ lage. Council discussed updating resi­ dents about recycling. An insert with the tax bills in May will include new requirements in an effort to reduce the waste at the site. The following items will not be accepted: tires with rims, wood­ en fence posts with wire attached or pesticide containers. Residents are also encouraged to begin composting. At the regular meeting on May 5 council agreed that no member of council can talk to the press about municipal business without the prior knowledge and consent of the rest of council. A by-law was set establishing the 1992 levy for the township at $158,638, up 5.25 per cent from last year's. This amount includes a deficit from 1991 of $17,226. The township millrate is 3.652. A grant of $60 was approved for the Huron County Road Superin­ tendent Association . The road accounts totalling $19,274.62 were approved for pay­ ment. Council authorized the road superintendent to order 100 Nor­ way Maple trees from Maitland Valley Conservation Authority for the 1993 planting season. The drainage superintendent was given authorization to order the manufacture of "drainage gates" to suit his purposes to a maximum cost of $300 each. Council cau­ tioned for cost control, however. The general accounts totalling $12,138.39 were approved for pay­ ment. A letter will be sent to Education Minister Tony Salipo, MPP Paul Klopp ^and to Premier Bob Rae voicing council's strong oppostion to the legislation of mandatory Junior Kindergarten in the province. Clerk Joan Armstrong was autho­ rized to have the agreements for construction of Proudfoot Ave. in Dungannon prepared for signing upon notices from the municipal solicitor that the wording is legally acceptable. The annual limit set for the trap- ping/hunting of beavers until December be increased from 50 to 100. Also, it is agreed that farm owners or renters will be reim­ bursed for beavers destroyed on their land, provided they registered with the township. hprcssb At a special meeting of the Huron-Perth Roman Catholic Sepa­ rate School Board on April 29 a meeting allowance of $30 was approved for each meeting in excess of the regular meetings and four meetings per month.
