VARNA. ONT. (2 miles south of Varna on Stanley Sideroad No. 111) 1-262-3310 Colborne Council awards new snowplowing contract Colborne Township Coun- cil met in regular session on Tuesday, December 1 and approved payment of bills and accounts in the total amount of $67,550.66. Includ- ed in this amount were payments of $5,800 for tile drainage loans, $4,800 to the Province of Ontario for drainage debentures, and $13,900 for repair work and erosion control done on the Lamb Municipal Drain in Block E. Ron Durnin, road superintendent, reported that the township snowplow- ing contract for the 1981-82 winter season had been retendered after John Cox of Wingham had advised that he would be unable to fulfill the contract which had been awarded to him originally. On retendering, quotes were received by. invitation from John McKercher of R.R.2 Bluevale and Nicholson Haulage of R.R.2 Bluevale. The tender of John McKer- cher was accepted at a price of $16 per day "standing time" and $33.75 per hour "operating time". Leonard Fisher, chairman . of the Colborne Recreation Committee, appeared before council and asked that a !replacement for the position be found as he felt that a change was needed. He of- fered to continue his active participation in the recrea- tion program and to assist, in any way possible, the new chairperson. On a motion by council, Bill Vanstone of R.R.4 Goderich was ap- pointed chairman of the Recreation Committee. Council discussed, at con- siderable length, the matter of what appears to be ex- cessive engineering costs be- ing billed for surveys, plans, reports and superintendence on municipal drainage pro- jects. While not suggesting impropriety on anyone's part, council members felt that there was not sufficient breakdown or detail in the invoices for these services to enable proper and full evaluation and, therefore, requested the clerk write to the consulting engineering firm of Gamsby and Marr nerow. Limited of Guelph, re- questing that they provide such a breakdown 'on their invoices concerning several drainage projects now in various stages of progress. Pending receipt of this infor- mation, a third reading of by-law no. 19-1981 concern- ing the Lamb Drain Erosion Control and Culvert Protec- tion Works, was tabled to the December 15 meeting. A copy of a letter from the Ministry of Natural Resources addressed to John Schoonderwoerd of R.R.1 Mitchell was received and filed. The Ministry advised Schoonderwoerd that the Township of Colborne had objected to his licensing a pit on Lots 19, 20 and 21, Maitland Concession, on the grounds that the area in question is within a Natural Environment designation which prohibits extractive operations. Schoonderwoerd was advised in the letter that in order for his application to be further considered, he would have to seek an amendment to the township's Official Plan. An order of the Ontario Municipal Board approving by-law no. 4-1981 has been received This is a restricted area zoning by-law concern- ing lands in Lot 11, Broken Front Concession, owned by Pat Whalen. In February of this year, council developed a set of policy guidelines in hopes that a workable order could be brought to the problem of how to handle all applicants for tile drainage loans in an equal and fair manner. One of the provisions in the guidelines was that applica- tions for a tile drainage loan 's400ko CATALOGUE STORE advantage Christmas oto‘o Savings Reductions in effect until December 16, 1981.

Barth Vader AE'if mini figure case 1096 in any year had to be filed with the clerk not later than June 30 of that year. Ex- perience through the year made it clear that this was not satisfactory and on reconsideration, council decided to set the period for acceptance of applications as January 1 to December 15 in any year. Other aspects of the guidelines remain un- changed for the time being and provide for applications not to exceed 50 per cent of the cost of the project up to a maximum of $20,000 in one year and that the tile be in the ground and inspected by December 15 of the year in which the loan is applied for. All loan applications are sub- ject to the availability of funds and to the guidelines of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food. Farmers con- sidering tile drainage loans, should contact the township clerk for complete details and application forms. The meeting was adjourn- ed to the next regular meeting on Tuesday, December 15.
