By Pauline Kerr Wingham Advance _Times The recent announcement by the province regarding the phasing out of grants under the Municipal Outlet Drainage' rogram. while increasing loan limits under the Tile Loan Program, was not greeted as welcome news among area municipalities. North Huron council discussed the matter briefly during the Aug. 3 meeting. Reeve Doug Layton suggested "sending a letter - a strongly-worded letter - to the Ministry (of Agriculture and Food)" asking for reinstatement of the grants. • Councillor Archie MacGowan said the decision was made without any consultation. "It appears to be a bureaucratic decision, not a political one," he said. - *** North Huron municipal employees will have a little extra in their pay envelopes for going six months accident-free. It will be a small token -- perhaps a $5 gift certificate. The idea, as discussed by council, is to thank staff for working safely, without , providing encouragement for not reporting accidents. *** The tree inventory being conducted in North Huron (Wingham ward) has almost been completed, Councillor Archie MacGowan reported to council. So far, 1,305 trees have been inventoried along road allowances. Parks will be done next. Of the 1,305 trees. 697 -are hard maples, MacGowan said. Trees are being inventoried as to species. • BUY?
