The decision stemmed from an incident where solicitors requested information, and it could only be obtained through an on-site inspection and measurement. Therefore council moved, "That where zoning information is required which re- quires inspection and measurement, the building inspector will be authorized to at- tend the site and make the report upon pay- ment of a fee of $20 to the township." In other business, Ken Wilson was present to request that Lot 10 of plan 502 be released from the conditions of the Sub Dividers Agreement. After the engineering firm of B.M. Ross affirmed that the services were completed to the stage that one security lot would be sufficient to assure that the ser- vices could be completed, council moved to release Lot 10 and transfer it to the present owners. At the same meeting five building permits were requested of council, with four being issued. One was held back as a rezoning amendment would have to be passed before the building could be started. A tire drain loan of $10,045 was requested by Ken Bauer, the money to be spent on Lots 12 and 13 of Concession 6. The application was approved subject to the availability of funds. Connell received two snow removal tenders to blow the snow from the township road on Plan 12. They accepted George Wraith's tender of $35 per hour to remove the snow from Falls Reserve Road. A bylaw to appoint certain people to of-' fices in the township for 1987 was also pass- ed by council. Coupcillors John Rodges and Carol Wammes will represent council on the recreation. committee for one year terms. Wayne Tebbutt and Joy Levis were also ap- pointed to the recreation committee for three year terms. Accounts were ordered paid in the amount of $83,159.64.

During the same time frame, Canadian sales dropped 14.9 per cent; US sales dropped 53.8 per cent and Japan sales were down 11.7 per cent. At the December 9 Tariff Board of Canada hearing in Ottawa, Mr. Lonergan said Cana- dian and Korean manufacturers presented their sides. Although he' was hesitant to speculate, Mr. Lonergan said, "I'd be surprised if they weren't in favor of what we presented," ad- ding the Canadians seemed better prepared. From the Koreans view, they felt chang- ing the tariff would not do the Canadians any good. "What we're trying to do is slow down the obvious snowball effect that is happening to us," said Mr. Longeran. The results of the hearing are to be presented no later than March 1. The piano industry peaked i Canada from 1890 to 1925 when there were 50 manufacturers and sales were up o 30,000 per year. It was during this tune, 1875, that Sherlock -Manning pianos started. The Clin- ton plant dates back to 1898 and now employs approximately 30 people. In 1985, Canada sold 1,168 pianos, US sold 824, Japan sold 4,341 and Korea sold 3,293. In 1984, Canada sold. 1,373 pianos, US sold 1,785, Japan sold 4,918 and Korea sold 1,902. In 1983, Canada sold 1,775 pianos, US sold 3,502, Japan sold 3,392 arid Korea sold 2,616. "With our aggressive , pe}g tnagagetlnef}t , program, given time and a supportive Cana- dian government, we can turn this industry around and re-establish the Canadian piano manufacturing industry as an international competitor," perdicted Mr. Lonergan.
