Councils cannot commit. an- other incoming council to debts on debentures unless OMB ap- proval has been obtained to allow pagtment over three years (the term off a council). Municipal drains already com- pleted are not covered by a debenture bylaw. These drain payments must be paid in cash or added to tax bills and collected over a maximum of three years. Applications for debentures on future drains must be made before work has started on the drain. Council noted that people in the past had been wrongly advised about applications and councillor Doug Fortune said council must be acotrvaanflble to theme. The bialy recourse council had was to allow payment on taxes over a -maxi- mum of three years. In other business, council hired " Drainage Commissioner Ross Nicholson to the position of drain- age inspector. The appointment came after Inspector Wes Paulin resigned due to complicated de- tails and the small renumeration for the service. Mr. Nicholson will be paid $4.40 an hour, the same payment he receives as commissioner. Council also passed a motion to allow Mr. Nicholson to go ahead on work on the Powell Drain. Council reported that a meet- ing is to be held Sept. 15 at 9:30 p.m. to discuss the Bryce Muni- cipal Drain reports. A letter from the Huron County Health Unit reported to council that a home belonging to Joe Dillan has no rodent problem and the interior ntoiauF structure is sound. The investigation was con- ducted after a complaint had been received from R. N. Keay, Brookhaven Nursing Home ad- ministrator. Mr. Keay wrote council that the house, behind the nursing home attracted mice, was unsafe structurally and a fire hazard. The health board said there is no reason to condemn the house. Mr. Keay wrote another letter to council about a %use across the road from the nursing home. In this letter Mr. Keay com- plained of a messy property and sandblasting that took place in a .shed. Council will be sending Mr. Keay a letter stating that since the property owners .have been there a short time and appear to be renovating the property, he should give them some time before complaining about a mess. Council also passed a motion to contact a lawyer regarding en- forcement of the trailer permit bylaw . ; in respect to a trailer ownedrby John V. Fischer and what action may be taken if no permit is purchased. Mr. Fischer lives in what he describes as a modular iiotne but Reeve Don Eadie said solicitor Robert Campbell advised him that a trailer permit is still needed until it is assessed. Councillor Doug Fortune said anyone who hasn't got a permit should be made to pay or move out. Council opposed a severence application for John Melton, Con. 9, Lot 20 since it was for a non- conforming land use. It was pro- posed to build a church on the property which . is agricultural and near a feed mill. Council approved a severence application•made by the Bluevale- United luevaleUnited Church subject to Health Board approval.

The Ministry of Transportation and Communication (MTC) informed council that it is instal- ling a culvert on Clyde Street in Bluevale with an outlet across from the daylight corner to High- way 86 and 87. MTC also said there was a solution for the drain- age problem at the junction of Queen Street, Bluevale and High- way 86 and 87 but did not ela- borate on it. A motion was moved to con- tinue to pay 35 per cent of any warble fly control. A schedule of clerk's fees to follow for municipal drains was presented to council by Gamsby and Mannerow. The fee for the first five drains is $100, for the next true it is $6, tor the next 20 it is $5 and for the rest it is $4. For drawing up bylaws the fee for the first five is $50, for the next five is $4, for the next 20 is $3 and for the remainder is $2. The fees were based on the number of assessments including the branches. Council moved to use the schedule. It was moved to re -appoint tile following to the Community Hall Board: Harold Elliott, William Elston, Wes Underwood and Ross Smith. orilt Bylaw designates B-line as a development road Turnberry Township council signed an agreement and passed a bylaw to designate the B -Line road as a development road at its Sept. 6 meeting. The agreement was signed with the Ministry of Transportation and Communication (MTC) and design criteria of the road were also presented to council members. The estimated cost of upgrad- ing the eastern end of the B -Line is $159,100 and the western end estimate is $64,100 according to MTC. MTC also wrote council that the Ministry has no objection to the township awarding the contract for the B -Line bridge so as to have the abutments and piers constructed prior to winter shut- down. Council reviewed. the road budget with road superintendent Len Baird and it was decided to request $8,000 supplementary payment, not budgeted for, to help pay for drains and the new shed roof. The tender of Les Greenaway was accepted for the shed roof repairs .at $3,812. Council decided to withhold a 10 per cent deposit of Joe Kerr, con- tractor, since a tender contract between Mr. Kerr and council had not been -fulfilled. Councillor Ben Malda and Deputy Reeve Harold Elliott opposed the motion. The contract concerned gravel being crushed by Mr. Kerr' that was to be '5i8" in size. Council had MTC test the gravel and the ministry reported the gravel is not suitable for sic but is accept- able as 7/e. Council accepted a tender of Petrofina to supply the township fuel for a year commencing Sept. 1. Diesel fuel is set at 51.75 cents; furnace oil at .50 cents and gas is set at 58.6 cents. Council has received a supple- mentary subsidy for construction of $1,420 from MTC. The total subsidy to date is now $77,720 — construction, $38,220 and main- tenance, $39,500. The township is not responsible for mailboxes, council stated, when a request for replacement of a mailbox was submitted. Doran Thornton asked council for $17.64 to replace his mailbox since it had been knocked over, possibly by a -township plow. George Marklevitz attended the council meeting to discuss the road in front of his farm; on the B - Line. He said a hill prevents cars from being abletosee each other and he is concerned about school children who board a bus at his lane. Mr. Marklevitz suggested either cutting the road down or adding land fill to the dip. Council decided to act on the problem now, since school children could be in danger. It was decided that Mr. Baird should look into how much fill would be needed and council will negotiate the pay- ment for next year. . Mr. Baird told council he could use another road grader operator, part-time as needed. He said there is plenty of work that another person could be do- ing. The'' road superintendent is looking into the problem.
