The major reason for the deficit was over -spending of last year's road budget. Road Superintendent Ross Nicholson said the con- struction project on the township's 10th line cost more than was budgeted. Council also paid the final instalment of $50,600 on the grader it purchased in 1982. Members had expected a supplementary subsidy on the grader from the Ministry of Transportation and Communications but none was forthcoming. All in all the road account was overspent by some $80,000, but savings in other departments and a $55,000 surplus of township revenue kept the deficit down to the $16,000 mark. As far as this year's road subsidy -is concerned, Mr. Nicholson reported the MTC has granted the township a meagre 2.5 per cent increase in funds for township road work. The township will • receive $130,200 for roads in 1984, compared to $127,100 in 1983. Turnberry will kick in another $90,000 ap- proximately, but even at that several road projects planned for this year may have to scaled down or shelved entirely. ' Mr. Nicholson said he hopes to do some work on the township's fourth concession this year, but he is not sure now how much. Also he wants to pave two streets in Lower Town and possibly put a surface treatment on the B- line. Council members were surprised that the township ,received -such , small subsidy increase and decided to speak to Huron - Bruce MPP Murray Elston about the matter. In the meantime Mr. Nicholson was instructed to apply for supplementary subsidy for the Lower Town project, the B-line and -some drainage repair work. He estimated he 'would be, ap- plying for at least $50,000 but added he would not receive that much back. FEDERATION ATTENDS Later in the -meeting a delegation of federation of agriculture members, Aart de Vos, Hans Rasmussen, Doug Garniss and Bob Harris, attended to ask council if it would consider paying the federation a levy instead of the usual grant. The levy would be a small amount (a percentage of a mil) tacked onto each tax bill. If any ratepayer disagreed with the practices of- the federation, he could ask for a refund. Because Turnberry has gone , to computer billing, council decided it would be too much of'an imposition to ask the clerk to tack a levy onto each tax notice and distribute possible refunds. ' It could cause dissent among the ratepayers as well. "You'd hear a big ruckus,” predicted Coun- cillor Randy Scott. Council decided instead to give the federation a grant of $662, the amount equal to the sum arrived at for the town- ship under a levy system. In other business council voted to forego the penalty on overdue taxes on the MacGowan (Brookhaven) nursing home as a gesture of good will. Clerk -Treasurer Dorothy Kelly said she received a letter from the MacGowans stating that since they did not get a tax bill after they „HIS..QUEEN*us ,mkgaLtvios on -.,.' oo~r, r j3' mf'4 °,fir Wrarn! 4 rowI (AOC h, nux W,.e4r®•P A., To place your actin ad in Crossroads classifieds, Calla The Listowel Banner, 291-1660 The Mount Forest Confederate, 323-1550 The Wingham Advance -Times, 357-2320 -The Milverton Sun, 595-8921 Business and Professional Directory Frederick F.
