He was appointed Reeve last Wednesday after the resignation of ° Reeve Clem McLellan was accept- ed at the council meeting on March 28. The appointment was made under Section 45 of the Mu- nicipal Act, whereby the office must be filled by a member of council on the date of appoint- ment. During discussion last Wednes- day morning, council noted that it could not justify the cost for hold- ing an election. Council felt that it was in the best public interest to fill the vacant Reeves quickly as possible: An election could take up .to. 90 days to polling day. With no Reeve, the township would not have a • representative on Council for another 90 days. The township has already been without a representative since February. Council felt it was important to have a representative on County Council. McLellan also sat on the Wingham Area Fire Board, along with Councillor John Duskocy. Reeve Elliot was sworn in as the Morris Township representa- tive at the County Council meet- ing last Thursday. Council will then declare a council seat vacant at the April 18 meeting,. and a special meeting will be held to determine. if a councillor will be appointed or elected by the people. At the April 4 regular meeting, council will declare the Deputy Reeve's vacant, and a special meeting will be held t� fill the po- sition. Morris Township briefs Financial matters Numerous financial natters were discussed and approved at the March 28 meeting of Monis Township council. The township received 50 per cent of its surplus funds from the Wingham and Area Fire Board. The council approved to pay its 1995 levy of $9,202 from the Mait- land Valley Conservation Authority (MVCA), an eight per cent increase from last year. However, council will write a letter to the MVCA, stat- ing that it doesn't agree with the eight per cern increase. Council will refund $300 to Wayne Fear of Lot 3, Concession 5, for,, the rezoning application that was denied -by' -council. ' The council approved a $100 giant for the Huron County Farm. and Home Safety group for 1995. Because a fund-raising statement was received, council passed a mo- tion to accept the Brussels -Morris -Grey Community Centre board's bud- get as originally submitted. Tenders The Township of Morris awarded its tender for the supplying, crush- ing, loading, hauling and spreading of crushed 'A' gravel for 1995.
