BLYTH - Blyth and Hullett council's met
to finalize the plans for the operation and
development of the proposed Blyth-Hullett
Waste Disposal site at the Blyth council
meeting on December 5.

hold off on the 'passing of a resolution to ac-
cept the plan submitted by Maitland
Engineering Services in Wingham. Phil
Bye, an engineer with the Ministry of En-
vironment, was to be on hand to discuss the
detailed report with the councils, but was
unable to attend the meeting.

p.m. was set aside for the two council to
discuss the matter with Mr. Bye.
At the meeting, the councils were made
aware of a problem concerning a road runn-
ing through the property to be purchased
which deviates from the road allowance. In
order to correct the situation, Hullett Coun-
cil may have to pass a bylaw closing the
road before the purchase can be completed.

vices Ltd. for $728.73 was also discussed
with Hullett Township to pay 65 per cent of
the bill under an agreement with Blyth.

animal control bylaw which will enable the
village to register and licence dogs and to
impound dogs running loose in the village.

from council to re -locate a terminal on Mor-
ris Street about three metres. The re-
location of the terminal will alleviate park-
ing problems in,the area.
Council received two tenders for the
removal of 16 trees in Blyth. Council,
however, refused the two bids, stating thoy
were under the estimated value of the wood.
The tenders will be asked to re -negotiate
their bids.
A letter was received from the Ministry of
Transportation and Communications re-
questing the village to help ,in the erection
and removal of road closing signs in the
event of a storm.
Council also passed a motion to install•a
two-way radio system which will insure Net-
ter communication between the road
superintendent and the clerk.
Clerk Larry Walsh was instructed by
council to complete an application for an
Ontario Neighborhood Improvement Pro-
gram loan. If the application is approved, a
public 'meeting would be held to formally
outline the program.
In the report to committees, the Streets,
Drain, Water and Light; Committee reported
the installation of a new drain behind the
Blyth Inn at a cost of $722.50.
Under correspondence, a resolution from
the Huron Perth Roman Catholic Separate
School Boal•d concerning the high price of
insurance coverage was supported by coun-
cil.
The resolution requests. the Attorney
General of Ontario to alter existing legisla-•
tion which is creating excessive lawsuits
and court awards.
A letter from Wintario asking if the com-
munity is interested in hosting a, draw will
be sent to the service clubs.
