Wilder said he would like to see more trees planted but reminded council of the proximity and possibility of root damage to header tiles running along township roads. Council opened 15 ap- plications for township grader operator. Two ap- plications came in after the noon deadline and were disposed of. Council members were surprised by the number and quality of the applicants. Bedard commented on the good -paying steady jobs some would be giving up to drive a grader. Dick Rau said many were probably looking for a• change in their lives. Mousseau said with in- terest rates what they are today, people know a good job when they see it. Council members were interested in the age of the applicants. Clerk Joan Ducharme reminded them that under the human rights act, age could not be asked. Rau quipped that you couldn't ask a person's sex either, and that sometimes you can't tell. The reeve said council should hire someone from the township for the job. Council will interview five of the applicants. In other business: Ducharme reminded council of a tax bill recently passed which will allow townships to set up interest on tax ,rrears at the prime rate plus 11/2 percent. She said they would be getting a model bylaw from Toronto. The township will have several contractors re -quote prices on insulation for the township office building. Hay will donate the costs of the township hall rental to the Zurich 125th anniversary committee. The committee rented the hall during the July celebration to house an antique display. The new building inspector Hubert Miller was advised to make use of stop -work or- ders if people were building without the proper permits. Council decided to file for future reference a main- tenance and occupancy bylaw. Gerald Shantz pointed out the sample bylaw stated owners should repair or remove unmaintained buildings. The bylaw, he said, encouraged them to tear it down, which is what the township hopes to avoid. Council reviewed their six month budget position for 1981. The expenditures were about half, for the half year statement the clerk said, and noted that some ex- penditures such as road gravel, were for the whole year. Drain bylaw affects Hay The first reading of a bylaw to approve the Mud Creek Drain was heard at a special meeting of Stephen. Township Council Wednes- day. The proposed drain will run through Hay, Stephen and McGillivray townships. The bylaw was given first and second readings at the meeting, and is now open to appeals. After the bylaw has been given the third reading, the drain work will be let by tender. 5.
