Morris Township cut 1984 road subsidy two percent MORRIS - The Township of Morris will receive over two per cent less in road sub- sidy from the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MTC) in 1984 than it did last year. • Council was told of the ministry cutback at its March 5 meeting. The township will receive $223,900 from the MTC in 1984, com- pared to $228,700 in '83. In order to get the promised amount of subsidy, the township must spend $128,800 of its own money on roads in 1984 for a grand total of $352,700. Clerk -Treasurer Nancy ,Michie said that council did not express too much surprise at the news, but it has applied for $150;000 in supplementary subsidy from the province. Council will know by May how much sup- plementary subsidy it will receive. A total of $35,000 of that supplementary subsidy (should council receive it) has been earrharked for repairs to the "Blind Line" Bridge, just off the tbwnship's first conces- sion. Last fall council was informed that the structure, built in 1913, was in serious need 'of repair. Council instructed the engineering firm Dawson and Johnston of Stratford to assess the situation and report back what repairs were needed to bring the bridge's load limit up to par and ensure its safety. A summary of those repairs has been Hullett Central happenings received and was presented at the meeting Clerk Michie said the bridge's deck must be replaced, its. trusses reinforced and its han- drails reconstructed, all to bring the bridge .up to a.15 -tonne load limit. Repair work on the bridge is to commence this spring and must be completed, with or without the supplementary subsidy. • The remainder of the supplementary sub- sidy will go to offset exp,enses incurred when the- township purchased a new grader last year. George Radford Ltd. of Blyth will supply . crushed gravel to the township this year at a rate of $2.70 per cubic yard or $67,500. Last year Morris paid Radford $2.25 per cubic yard for crushed gravel. One other tender was received for gravel, from, Joe Kerr Ltd. of Wingham, but it was higher than the Rad- ford bid.
