Morris Township briefs
McCrae Cemetery
Morris Township assumed the ownership of the McCrae Cemetery' at
last Tuesday's meeting of Morris Township council.
Rev. Vicars Hodge attended the council meeting to find out if the
township would assume ownership of the cemetery located at Lot 2 of
'Concession 5. Rev. Hodge said the request was made because the An-
glican Church in Belgrave had closed. '
Even though the congregation of the church were in favor of the
township assuming ownership of the cemetery, final approval would
have to be received from the Diocese.

painted on the truck to identify the
vehicle when it is at a fire.

fire chief get three quotes on the
cost of getting lettering on the door
of the pick-up truck.
