Council received a letter from
the Ministry of Agriculture
and Food regarding . 1960-81
alli‘atiens for tile drain loans.
The letter outlined several
guidelines the Ministry_. i$
asking all municipalities to
ttJlke when considering loan
applications --
Lorne C. Henderson,
minister of agriculture and
a
ske:dto cons
food, presented. the criteria to
the Ontario Legislature Dec.
14, 1979, He stated that ,ap-
plicatlone should be based on
no more than 75 percent of the
estimated cost up to a
maximum of $200 per acre
tiled', and that the maximum
amount any one farmer may
receive in loans for one year
'should not exceed $10,000. The
cumulative maxdmum amount
Should be set at 240,000.
The minister explained that
these criteria . should' be en-
forced to ensure that ea many
farmers as possible can take
advantage of the loan
program. Apparently 0n0ri0
farmers spent $245 million
maintaining or improving
drainage on 1.3 million acres
of farmland in the last 10
years. About $111 -million was
borrowed, from the proa!inee ;
To date loan appllcatiotln
are based on 75 per cent
eldialeted costs, however no
maximums have been placed
on any one farmer.
Regarding the guidelines
council decided that $200 per
acre tiled should not be a fixed
amount due to yearly cost
hikes.

NOTICE ToWin
The Corporation of the Town of Wingham is considering pass-
ing the following Property Standards Bylaw for the town.
Residents objeeting to any provisions of the proposed bylaw
are invited to file written notice of their objections with the
Town Clerk by no later than 4 p.m. on March 8 so that they may
be considered by Town Council.
PROPERTY AND MAINTENANCE BY-LAW
PREAMBLE
The Purpose of this By-j.aw is to provide a basis for control
of Property Standards applying to residential and non-resi-
dential use within the Town of Wingham.
The principal means of implementation will be the partici-
pation of the Town of Wingham`according to the need, benefit,
and availability of resources in existing and future property
Improvement programs initiated by the senior levels of govern-
ment such as the Ontario Home Renewal Program (OHRP),
the Rental Ontario 'Home Renewal Program (Rental OHRP),
Community Services Contribution Program, and Downtown Re-
vitalization. The Property Standards By -Law satisfies a central
condition for municipal elegibility and this By -Law will serve
as the basis for co-operative ventures; fry municipal, provincial
and federal governments in promoting a continuing long-term
property management program In the Town of • Wingham, aimed
at taking preventative measures against property deteriora-
tion and waste and at encouraging the improvement of the
physical and structural resources•of the community.
This By -Lave shall also serve to provide the Council of the
Town of Wingham with the statutory authority to take remedial
action where detrimental property conditions resulting from
neglect, disrepair, over -crowding and under -maintenance im-
pose a hazard to human health, safety, and well-being or pro-
duce blight and deterioration which adversely affects the value,
appearance, and enjoyment of neighbouring properties. Where
such violations of the By -Law are evident, an approach which
emphasizes co-operative compliance as opposed to rigid enforce-
ment will be utilized. Legal enforcement will be taken as a
final measure; only when co-operotive efforts aimed. at rec-
tifying an offending property condition fail because of the dis-
interest, tack of co-operation, or insincerity of the property
owner.
This By -Law represents the starting point for a property -
management anent progro
m in the Town n of Wingham. The By -Law
will be reviewed from time to time to ensure it is improved
as a result of insights gained from experience.
