To launch minor solar research The Horticultural Researc Institute of Ontario (HRIO) ha launched a major research pro- ject on solar -heated greenhouses. The project will study the com- mercial potential of two different designs, both of which use solar heat collection systems. The two designs will be comPered against one another and against conven- tional greenhouses. Reseachers will also study the possibility of adapting solar heating to existing greenhouses. Since large amounts of fuel are required to maintain optimum plant growing conditions in con- ventionally designed green- houses, rising energy costs are causing significant increases in greenhouse operating expenses. The Ontario Ministry of Agri- culture and Food funds a long- term program of energy con- servation research at HRIO aim- ed at reducing the amount of fuel needed in conventional green- houses. - Morris isn't convinced by the fill line mapping details Fill line mapping was explain- doesn't know how serious flood- ed for Morris Township council at ing problems and erosion could its meeting Nov. 6, but three of be on a property are warned of five council members still aren't potential hazards if the MVCA is convinced of the need for the approached, Mr. Deslauriers mapping in Morris. said.

Bob Grasby' noted that where there are waterways in the townshipthere are distinct river valleys and no large flat areas for people to build where there would be flooding. "We could have all sorts of fellows working for us (to solve or prevent flooding, pollution and other problems) and every one of them would have something to do," Reeve William Elston ad- mitted. It becomes a matter of how economical the work is and how much money the township has -to spend on the projects, he said. "A time comes when we can't pay any more and that time's al- most here, Ian," Mr. Elston told Mr. Deslauriers. PEOPLE WANT IPM ROAD OPEN Council received a petition signed by 21 Morris residents, asking to have the road which was built at the west oto of the International Plowing Match tented'city, maintained and kept open. Mr. Grasby said the township probably couldn't open the road unless the ministry of transport- ation and communications (MTC) gave a lot of grant money for a bridge to cross the Little Maitland River, which crosses the road. The three large culverts used in the river during•the plow- ing match have been removed by Huron County. t+ After hearing, recommenda- tions from Mr. Deslauriers, council decided to ask MTC to determine the viability of provid- ing either a large span bridge at the site or a series of low cul- verts. Council felt the latter suggestion would be more economical but the culverts could only be used in the summer dur- ing low water levels. The series of culverts would be designed to allow water to spill Over the structure with minimal damage to it. Mr. Procter said some town- ship residents are under the im- pression that the township spent so much money on the road and bridge for IPM '78 that it should spend a little more to keep the road open. "Some people might think there was 30 or 40 or $50,000 spent," he said. "There was no Morris Town- ship money went into that road," Mr: Elston told council. Mr. Deslauriers suggested that a large bridge for the site might cost $300,000 or $400,000. In other business council suggested a new building be found to house the Walton lib- rary. The library is open only two afternoons a week and there is no heat in the building at other times. Deputy -Reeve Tom Miller said books are ruined by moisture in the present library building in Walton and must be discarded after being used in the library. Council felt it was important' to have a library serving the area and in§tiucted Mr. Miller to look for another location for the li- brary. Council got notice from the MVCA that it would receive monthly copies of all conserva- tion authority meeting minutes from now on. The change is a, re- sult of a request by Minto Town- ship council for more information on MVCA meetings. A Wingham resolution asking that Morris Township provide an outlet for the Blackhall munici- pal drain under Highway 88 was rejected. The resolution said an outlet was cut off when Highway 86 was built, but Mr. Elston told council the outlet wasn't changed at the time of construction, "It's not our problem," he said. "The drain has never been changed." Council gave its approval to a proposed severance along High- way 86 which would allow Bridge Motors to sever 150 acres of farmland from the commercial property at the front of the farm. Ten acres would be retained for commercial use. The severance application now goes to the county land division committee for its consideration. The Canadian Pacific Railroad returned unpaid a $214.22 bill for work on the McArthur municipal drain, saying that it had a 1966 agreement with the township that it wouldn't be liable for the cost of McArthur drain work off CPR land. Mr. Elston suggested that the old agreement might have meant that the railroad company had paid for work on its own property when the drain was con- structed. -, • • 'Council approved a $150:grant - to the Brussels Agricultural. - Society to aid the annual fall fair WINGHAM BODY SHOP SID ADAMS Complete RADIATOR SERVICE for Automobiles, Light Trucks, Farm Tractors New Rad Cores - Rodding Cleaning & Flushing 14 North St. 357-1102 .�ri w ,:a' .J." .;fi4i�1A-fid• .wrirMa.ars.uiz�.;ha:edaaw,;t�,�rr;+hw.. .� �.. -.,-..,'-- •a,, _4.. n'1L-s., F,wr„`r,: '£««Ji4e�aN,�y."r,F .
