Turnberry Township Council
held a special meeting July 6 to
meet with interested residents in-
volved in the Junctionville snow-
plowing agreement
The agreement states that the
township will remove snow on
Victoria Street to Highway 86 and
that the cost will be shared by the
township and the residents 50-50.
Three more names have to be
added to the agreement before it
can be signed. Ken Stapleton,
Alex Lubbers and Barry Gardner
will be added to the list of the fol-
lowing names: Thomas Gilbert
Gardner, Edward Marsh, Joseph
Schneider, Harold Grant and El-
gin Adams.
The agreement, if signed would
be binding on future homeowners
or until a new agreement is
made.
Ross Nicholson, township drain
commissioner was hired by coun-
cil to count dogs and tag them at
$1.50 a dog plus mileage. He was
authorized by council to collect $5
for males and $10 for each addi-
tional male; $10 for females and
$15 for each additional female
and spayed females will be col-
lected for as male dogs. He will
collect $25 for a kennel of dogs
which was defined as three or
more animals. Dogs six months
and under will not be counted.
Council felt the charges would
coyer damage caused by dogs
running in packs in the township.
Recently they paid $100 for a
sheep and $60 for 12 turkeys killed
by dogs.
Council passed Bylaw 9 to pro-
hibit throwing debris on township
or private property. A fine of not
less than $50 and not more than
$500 will be levied against anyone
found guilty of littering. It took
effect July 7. •
Council approved a recreation
agreement between Howick
Township and Turnberry, to pay
through grant, $150,000 towards
the new community centre in
Howick. The money goes toward
capital costs and stipulates joint
use of the centre.
Further maintenance costs will
be shared equally by four town-
ships as arranged in 1950 under
an agreement made when the ori-
ginal building was built. Howick,
Turnberry, Carrick and Culross
are the four involved. Twenty-
five per cent from each is the
share for maintenance.
Councillor Doug Fortune point-
ed out that Turnberry needs a
recreation committee of its own
to receive grants for Turnberry
Park maintenance.
Bylaw 12 was passed forming a
recreation committee including
two councillors, Brian McBurney
and Doug Fortune ,and three
tpwnship residents, Barry lyl,d-
vey, Orville Hastings and Hugh
Campbell.
It came to the attention of
council that Turnberry Estates
owes money for mobile homes. A
$15 fee is required when each
borne is moved in and a $10
monthly charge until they are as-
sessed. All the homes are assess-
ed now but no fees have been
paid.
E. G. May of Turnberry Es-
tates is being asked to prepare a -
list of the homes and when they
moved in before the next regular
meeting, Aug. 2. He is asked to
attend the meeting to discuss
overdue fees.
Council amended a motion
which states that household items
such as appliances could not be
dumped in the township dump. It
now reads that these items may
be dumped there.
Council will be sending letters
to people who have requested tile
dram loans, More money is being
requested by council and until an
answer is received, no loans will
be issued.
Funds available at present are
$6,000 with grants cif $64,650 re-
quested. This leaves a shortage of
$58,650.

are needed.
Youll also need secondary identification. It

Turnberry withholds payment
on contract for road gravel
council
Except for two
Except for two
mem-
bers, Turnberry Township coun-
cil is not satisfied with an ex-
planation given by Joe Kerr, con-
tractor, about screen sizes used
in a gravel crushing job. Council
passed a motion at its July 5
meeting to request another ex-
planation from Mr. Kerr by the
Aug. 1 meeting before payment
will be made for the job.
Councillor Ben Malda and De-
puty Reeve Harold Elliott op-
posed the motion. Mr. Malda said
the. gravel was good.
The problem arose when coun-
cil discovered a larger screen
than tendered for was being used
in' the crusher May 30 until June
3. (Screening determines the size
of gravel.)
.Reeve Don Eadie said he went
to see Mr: Kerr who said if he had
used a smaller screen it would
have clogged.
"We signed a formal agree-
ment," Councillor Doug Fortune
said, "and' he didn't live up to his
end : of the contract, and we
shouldn't accept that. I don't care
if the gravel was good or bad, the
fact is he didn't live up to his end.
We have to be fair to people who
tender. If we don't live up to the
accepted tender, it isn't fair 'to
others."
Mr. Fortune suggested that
council withhold payment until
the next meeting and another let-
ter is sent. Mr. Eadie pointed out
that in the contract it is agreed
that if the contractor fails to meet
specifications council will with-
hold the tender cheque.
Mr. Fortune read council a
brief he had prepared for the On-
tario Trails Council which wants
to put trails through private
property for hiking, 'jogging,
snowmobiling, skiing and bicy-
cling, at n0, cost.
"People run over crops and
throw pop bottles, and cans in
crops that could kill animals,"
Mr. Fortune told council. Council
approved the brief to be read by
Mrs. Fortune, at a Trail Blazers'
meeting July 5.
Council received a letter from
Murray Gaunt, MPP, regarding
the township's request for a high-
er road subsidy. Mr. Gaunt wrote
thathe is "Not overly optimistic"
that anything can be done. He ex-
plained that the subsidy is de -
