Township Council Briefs
RETURNED TO FARM SNOW REMOVAL
East Wawanosh Township is Edgar Daer of R,R. 1, Auburn
returning a small parcel of land,
formerly the site of the township
shed, to the neighboring farm.
Council agreed at last week's reg-
ular meeting that the land, a 66 -foot
square parcel of land at Pt. Lot $3,
Con. 10, should be deared by the
township and returned to the farm
of Don Shields. The land owner
will be asked to provide a spot for
the old concrete and other debris
removed from the site.
SUPPORT FOR SANTA
Although East Wawanosh Coun-
cil isn't prepared to enter a float in
Wingham Optimist Club's annual
Santa Claus Parade on Nov. 25,
council has agreed to send a small
monetary donation of $25 to help
defray operation costs. The dona-
tion was suggested by Councillor
Don Shultz.
Morris Township Council donat-
ed $100 to the Wingham Santa
Claus parade, and $100 to the
parade in Brussels.
NO FRENCH HERE
Bilingualism legislation is forcing
people to learn another language
before allowing them to take gov-
ernment posts, claims a letter from
the City of Orillia to local town-
ships.
Councillors in East Wawanosh,
Turnberry and Morris voted to sup-
port Orillia's protest against
Ontario's Bill 8. The city argues that
enforced bilingualism will result in
a loss of job opportunities for non-
francophone Canadians.
The Town of Wingham filed it. %
POSTAGE METER
East Wawanosh Clerk Winona
Thompson says she is tired of lick-
ing hundreds of stamps and
envelopes at tax time. Mrs. Thomp-
son has asked East Wawanosh
Council to consider buying a
postage meter that weighs and
automatically seals envelopes, at a
cost of $1,745.
The purchase will be considered
for next year's budget.
POTIER'S BRIDGE
After a routine engineering
inspection, 13. M. Ross and Associ-
ates engineer Ken Dunn has
recommended renewing the load
limit on Potter's Bridge, Con. 1 of
East Wawanosh of 5 tonnes. Bridge
inspections are made every two
years.
hes been awarded the snow
removal contract for the village of
Auburn at a rate of $42 per hour,
with a standby rate of $7 a day, East
Wawanosh Council was informed
last week About 18 per cent of the
cost of snow removal in Auburn is
covered by the township. The
remainder is paid for by the village,
Township of Hullett and East
Wawanosh.
BRIDGE REPAIRS NEEDED
Ken Dunn of B. M. Ross and
Associates has been appointed by
Morris Township Council to inves-
tigate and assess repairs needed on
the Bodmin Bridge, Fourth Line.
Bridge repairs will be added to the
1990 roads budget for Morris Town-
ship.
Council to take
part in parade
Wingham Town Council has got-
ten into the Christmas spirit early
this year, deciding to participate in
the town Santa Claus parade on
Saturday, Nov. 25.
A letter from the Wingham Opti-
mist Club, the group sponsoring
the parade, was read at last Mon-
day evening's meeting of town
council. In the letter, Grant Currie,
parade chairman, issued a strong
plea for parade floats.
Initially some members of coun-
cil appeared less than enthusiastic
about entering the parade. Howev-
er, Mayor Ian Moreland delivered a
short message on Community spirit,
saying that he feels council should
stand behind this event bye taking
part.
"That's right," said Councillor
John Schenk. "It's easy to complain
about a lack of participation, but
we should do something."
Finally it was decided that the
Wingham Firefighters' Associatron
would be approached to permit
council to ride on its old fire truck
in the parade. A box of candy has
been ordered for members to throw
to the youngsters as well.
Council also has waived its nor-
mal rental fee for the Armouries
building so that children may gath-
er there to meet Santa aa us follow-
ing the parade.

Dump inspection
results released
• The results of an inspection of the
Wingham dump earlier this year
were brought to the attention of
town council at its regular Novem-
ber meeting last Monday.
The inspection was conducted
Aug. 29 by representatives of the
Ontario Ministry of the Enyiron-
ment.
In a letter dated Oct. 16, J. R. Earl
of the ministry'sOwenSorind office
says, the inspection revealed an
accumulation of litter on the south-
west' slope around the working
.area.
Mr. Earl also says that proper
cover and compaction appear to be
lacking, on the working face. The
provisional certificate of approval
states that all domestic waste must
be completely covered and com-,
pacted a minimum of twice weekly.
The ministry also stresses that the
burning program at the site is limit-
ed to clean wood or brush and no
domestic waste is to be burned.
Council learned that Town Works
Foreman Bob Thompson is aware
of the ministry's concerns and has
addressed them.
Morris zoning
bylaw is passed
A- zpning bylaw implementing
the policies of the township's sec-
ondary plan has been passed by
Morris TownshipCouncil.
The township has been working
on the bylaw since earlier this year.
Public input was received at the
township's open house programs
last summer, and changes arising
from public comment were added
to the bylaw before its passing last
week at the council's regular meet-
ing.
Township Clerk -Treasurer Nancy
Michie said last week that Morris
residents will have the opportunity
to appeal the zoning issues within
20 days of being informed of the
decision by mail.
Royal Homes announces
lay-off of 41 employees
In what is being called an effort
to balance an increased level of
orders for spring delivery against
present production capacity, Royal
Homes will lay off 41 production
staff at its Wingham plant effective
Nov. 24. There will be no lay-offs
for offide staff.
In a press release, Royal Homes
spokesman Peter Venema says sales
orders over the last two months are
at their highest levels since last
spring, attributing this to the com-
pany's fall -order, spring -delivery
campaign.
ith these homes scheduled for
late winter production, the compa-
ny has reduced current manufac-
turing capacities to equalize pro-
duction between its Wingham and
Peterborough locations.
The response to the new Royal
Homes' sales centre just outside
Wingham on Highway 86 has been
tremendous, adds Mr. Venema. It
features six fully -decorated model
homes which are open six days a
week and is becoming a major sales
Opportunity
As a leader in modular -home
building, Royal Homes is investing
in two additional new sales centres,
one in Chatham and one in Peter-
borough, he says. These centres will
be completed by January and will
feature 10 models, including the
Victorian, a two-storey, 2,300 -
