Ms, Thomson iii a report to the Task Force, noted, "jt is our conviction that a widely publicized program focused on the problem of family violence would offer an attractive alternative to Hien caught up in destructive behavior in their families and elsewhere.

Included in the figure were amounts of $18,274.22 to the Treasurer of Ontario for repayment of tile drain debentures, $5,125 00 for fuel and heating oil and $2,335.76 for grader repairs. The Treasurer also r ported that Interim Tax Notices had been mailed on March 6th, with payment due date of March 22nd. Due to a special fixed assessment cost of $14,454.44 levied against the County of Huron and the Township of Colborne under Section 26, The Drainage Act for the Sher- wood Municipal Drainage Works, an amen- ding by-law was required to correct earlier by-laws and therefore By-law No. 6-1985 to amend By-law No. 16-1983 and By-law No. 19-1984 was given all required readings and was passed. The amending by-law was of a housekeeping nature and does not,affect the assessments set in the engineer's report. ' The Road Superintendent reported that during recent winter storms he has received many requests to open roads so that bulk milk trucks could pick up milk from farms. In many cases, provincial and county roads were closed when such requests were received. Council advised the road superintendent that he was not to place the road department men or equipment in jeopardy and not to respond to such requests in extreme weather conditions unless and only if the farmer's milk storage tanks are full andhe has no reserve capacity left. Also, many complaints had been received about our plows filling m driveway en- trances. This cannot be avoided and council advised that such complaints will not be responded to. A building permit has been issued to Wilfred McLean, Part Block C, Saltford, to build a conventional peaked roof over the at- tached garage on the east end of hishouse and to construct a sun porch on the west end of the house. In other business, council ap- proved the attendance. of the road superintendent at a . road school at the University of Guelph from May 5 to 8th in- clusive, and that the clerk, in his capacity as the township's chief building. official, attend - a one day seminar on March 28th at Woodstock, on By-law Enforcement, Pro- perty Standards and Building and Zoning (Innf rn1 v An application by the trustees of the Ben - miller United Church to convey to Bell Canada for easement purposes, a small 16.40' by 35.71' parcel of land on the southeast corner of the church property was dealt with as per questionnaire of the Huron County Planning and Development Committee and, an application by M.P. and E.G.

Council discussed. at some length the mat- ter of upgrading some of the -culverts under township roads: With today's motorized vehicles and increased vehicle speeds, some of these culverts which were adequate for all traffic a few years ago, are now becom- ing inadequate. A resolution of council calls for thescheduling of upgrading of ..our culverts and bridgesin our road system as funds became available and that all" culverts and bridges in thetownship be signed and/or marked with reflective devices.
