At the end of a lengthy discussion among council members and engineer Bruce Holdsworth, a compromise was reached. As most members of council agreed the damage allowance on the Donald Mousseau and Donald Munn properties seemed to be unjustifiably high, $1110 will be subtracted from Corbett's assessment on his property on lot 15, concession 4, and $90 added to the assessment for the Mousseau property at lot 16, concession 4 and the same amount to the Munn proper- ty at lot 16, concession 3. The latter two property owners will be notified of the change, and have the choice of agreeing or appealing. No tenders can be opened until all appeals are settled. Court will reconvene Tuesday March 20 at 2:00 p.m. Anti} topic which took even more time was the future of the township hall, whose fate was debated during discus- sion of the recreation budget for 1984. The annual maintenance cost of approx- imately $3,000 is part of that budget. Though John Elder thought very few people would notice if the hall disappeared, Claire Deichert said the township had looked after the building since it was erected in 1882, and "if we can't continue, we're in troub p." Murray Keys suggesIff taking the New HoHzons group up on their offer to purchase the structure. Reeve Lionel Wilder had the last word when he said "It's there. We have to main- tain it. Let's find out what kind of funding is available for heritage buildings." Deputy -reeve Tony Bedard reported on a meeting bet- ween the recreation commit- tee and provincial recreation rep Melanie McLaughlin. Ms. McLaughlin recommended by-law changes and additions. She said the committee should recommend to council new programs with com- munity appeal, and suggested members should attend at least one training seminar each year. Bedard was asked to attend Zurich and Exeter's annual mea when their recrea- tion ets are set. As Hay's repr 'dative, he could ex- plain the township's funding and "clear the air if you have the figures and can justify them," according to Wilder. Tile drainage loan applica- tions totalling $81,000 were passed. Now that OMB ap- proval has been received, a by-law authorizing the bor- rowing of $600,000 for tile drainage construction was given third and final reading. The -proposed baseball dia- 'mond was also discussed. Wilder presented figures showing the township is com- mitted to spending $34,000 more this year than last, an increase of almost 9 mills. Expenditures include a bill of $9,000 submitted by Burns Ross for work already done concerning the highway 21 pipeline, another estimated $9,000 for surveys and other data on the dump, and $3,000 towards the purchase of a backhoe if MTC approval is mea.

Mousseau dram assessment The township is already in a borrowing position, and under terms of the Municipal Act is not allowed to expend future council funds until OMB approval is obtained for proposed projects. This has not yet been obtained for the ball diamond which, with washroom facilities, is estimated to cost around $40,000. "We have a mandate from the people, but we want to do ft right", Wilder stated, ad- ding "right now, we have to look at full funding from the township. We know the money is coming back, but not when." Council finally gave first and second reading to a mo- tion to raise $40,000 for the project (less any revenue from the province and other orgahizations) by the sale of debentures or through a bank loan, subject to OMB approval. A tender from Russell Fuels, the lowest of seven, was accepted to supply No.2 gas, no lead, diesel and fur- nace fuel to the township and Hay Municipal Telephone for a two-year term. Jennison Construction's bid to supply and spread 25,000 tons of gravel at $3.04 per ton, plus delivering a further 2,000 -ton stockpile at $2.97 per ton was accepted. It was the lower of two tenders received.
