Hay looks at conservation
Continued from front page
planting more trees.
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.
