Morris residents, who petitioned for improvements to the Kirkby Municipal Drain, will have to wait a bit longer for council to find someone willing to tackle the job for what the township considers to be a reasonable fee. During last week's meeting the only tender sub- mitted for the work was rejected because the bid was 42 per cent higher than the engineer's estimate. Costs for improvements to the drain, on Lots 16, 17 and 18, Con. 7, originally were estimated at $4,890 by Mait- land 'Engineering. The tender, submitted by G. W. Clarke Drainage Con- tractors of Arva, quoted a cost of $6,965. According to the Drainage Act of 1975, if a contractor's bid is more than 133 per cent of the engineer's estimate, council must hold .a special meeting with involved land- owners to give them an ratertasffers' opportunity to withdraw their names from the petition. However, council decided to reject the tender. Andrew McBride of Maitland Engineering and Councillor Bob/Grasby will accumulate more estimates and report back to council at the next meeting. Mr. McBride also reported that repair costs for the Lamont Drain, Con. 3 and 4, have been estimated at $3,900. A petition for a cleanout of the. Turvey Drain, Lot 20, Con. 2, was accepted and i Reeve Bill Elston was ap- pointed commissioner. In other business, the township completed its pur- chase of a small parcel of land from Louis and Jessica Kumphrey. The $3,000 parcel is necessary for the Martins Bridge easement and detour. A spot -zoning bylaw was passed for a lot at the east side of Bridge Motors. The bylaw changes the zoning to agricultural commercial from agricultural to allow a well -drilling business on the property. Landowners within 400 feet of the lot will receive notice MRS. LEWIS STONEHOUSE ideas/ of the change and 21/days to object. Morris was asked by the P-operty Ownjers Asso- ciation of agara-on-the- Lake to sup rt its request for a reev 'nation of prop- erty assessment methods. In its letter the association con- cluded from a 200 -home survey that properties were assessed at between 12 and 146 per cent of actual sales value. Council decided not to support the letter because it felt that poor market value assessment did not apply in the township.
