Clinton News-Record, 1977-01-20, Page 21For conventions Tuckersmithapproves expenses Tuckersmith . councillors will get $75 per day plus registration fees to pay their. expenses when they attend Conventions on Township business, council decided at their meeting Tuesday night at Huron Centennial School in Brucefield. .In previous years, coun- cillors submitted their hotel, food etc. bills for conventions and the township reimbursed them. Councillors won't receive any pay, along with the expenses, unlike county .councillorsand reps from • some municipalities which pay both amounts. Reeve Ervin Sillery said, he felt all councillors should' receive the same expense money rather than each one getting reimbursedfor what he actually spends. In - the past, the township has only paid for councillors' at- tendance, not for their wives and "I don't think that's right," said Deputy reeve Bob Bell. Councillor Bob Drummorlfl suggested that spouses pay their own way but that councillors get paid a wage when at a convention, so that they could hire Someone to do the chores at home. • The $75 per day expense •allowance agreed upon in- cludes basic expenses for spouses. Council members will probably attend an average of one convention a year each, clerk .'Jim McIntosh said. Councillors Frank Falconer and Bob Fotheringham indicated that they'd attend the Ontario Goal Roads Association in Toronto, February 20-23. 0 Water and sewer charges for Vanastra that will raise $944!000, the estimated cost of O running the system there, were adopted. About one third of the amount will be raised onthe mill rate; .• residences and commercial units will pay a minimum of $40 per billing, which will be done three times a year; and volume users will pay the other third of the cost, at a rate of about 40 cents per cubic meter (about 220 gallons). Pretty well all properties in Vanastra are metered now, clerk McIntosh reported and Meters will be read this month. The first bills will go out in four months. There'll be a 10 percent late payment charge and billing will be done from the clerk's office ' with extra help being hired when needed, Any unmetered properties will pay 150 mills. • Council sent a resolution to the Ontario Fire Marshall's Office, asking them to do a survey on Tuckersmith's fire protection needs, following a visit from Don Owens of that office. Mr. Owens said his report, to be done by June 1, would be confidential, at no cost to the township and could be acted on or not, according to council's wishes. Brucefield Fire Chief Stu Broadfoot attended the meeting with Mr. Owens. 75 to 80 percent of Huron municipalities have already been surveyed, Mr. Owens said. Tuckersmith will keep their agreement with the London Humane Society to patrol the township for dogs in force for another'year at a cost of $750, council decided, and they'll negotiate with the couple who sold tags last year to take the job on again. Two property owners were present to discuss the proposed Branderhorst Drain with council and engineer Henry .Udertadt. , The drain report was provisionally • Movies Children's movies are now being shown every Saturday morning from 10'til 12 at the, Vanastra Recreation Centre (in the Day Care section).

General Meeting The Vanastra Community Association wishes to remind their members to try and bring at least one other couple to the general meeting being held Feb. 24 at the Recreation Centre.

Mail Boxes Residents of Vanastra are urged,to assist in the clearing of snow in front of all mailboxes in order that the mail can be delivered. Many people are helping, but they need assistance and every one is urged to do their share. Thank You George and Carol McIntyre wish to express their heartfelt thanks to all those involved in .helping to locate George when he experienced car trouble on his way to Wiarton.

It certainly warms one's heart to know there are so many good people who are willing to help those in trouble.

A bylaw, clanging the name of the Vanastra Recreation, Committee to the Tucker - smith Rec Committee and providing for the complete council, plus four appointees to sit on the committee was passed. Councillor Falconer objected to the name change but reeve Sillery said the idea was to involve the whole township in managing recreation, not in picking up any recreation Jebt at Vanastra. Vanastra residents +v411 still pay an additional mill rate for recreatfom "If we are going to donate to Clinton, Seaforth etc (for recreation) we can't nail it all to Vanastra," reeve Sillery. said. . Bill Brown -sof Egmondville pointed out to council that a mistake in•news stories from the last council meeting left the impression that Tuckersmith residents pay 20 mills for recreation - and Vanastra residents 16 mills. Actually 20 mills is the overall 1976 mill rate and Vanastra residents paid that plus the 16 mills. Mr. Brown volunteered to sit on the rec committee and said he thought people were generally, in favour of township recreation. Councillor Fotheringharn asked if radios had been suggested for township snow plows, and said that even CB units, which don't qualify for a grant from MTC, would save time and money. Reeve Sillery said it had been suggested but the cost had to be .weighed. Road superin- tendent Allan Nicholson is looking into the matter, clerk McIntosh said. Council met again Wed- nesday night, after press time, to consider applications for positions at the Vanastra - Recreation Centre.
