charge be raised to $75 per load
and council agreed. Total cost to
the company will be $1,350.
Council then discussed lipping

instructed the clerk to obtain a list
ing of lipping fees at al! Huron
County landfill sites plus informa
tion on how debris is measured.
Still on the subject of Huronlea,
council was presented with a letter
advising of the cost of services for
the Village of Brussels of the
Huronlea site.
In response to the letter, council
decided to grant Brussels $5,000 to
offset expenses for the cost of ser

grant is in addition to the $15,000
granted to Brussels in 1991.

lors were advised the Ministry of
Labour had contacted the office in
regard to the death of Calvin James
earlier this year. The letter stated
the Ministry had investigated the
matter and declared the Township
of Morris was not involved in the
accident since the accident did not
happen during working hours. The
letter also said there will be no fur
ther investigation.
Road Superintendent Lloyd
Michie gave his report al the meet
ing. He informed council the grader
needs new tires, there arc problems
with two-way radios and the road
side disc mower is in need of
replacement.
Council authorized Mr. Michie to
request quotes for a new disc
mower, to purchase new radios for

for the grader.
They also gave authorization for
the purchase of a parts washer for

Council was also told the Massey
tractor is in need of repairs to the
front end so council told him to

payment if the poultry or livestock
arc killed by wolves and dogs.
Livestock valuer's reports for
Clarence Golley and Glen Johnston
were accepted.
Morris residents will be able to
