Two landowners, ' June McBurney and Mrs. A. Hors - burgh, approached council to complaic that trees pur- chased for reforestation, under the county program, have less than a 30 per cent survival rate. Mrs. McBurney outlined her 20 -year agreement under the program, which states she look after the trees planted on her property. Both ladies explained they should be let out of the agreement because of the poor survival rate, and they should not be charged for the trees. Council decided to investi- gate the problem and for- ward a letter to the county expressing its dissatisfaction with the plan. Councillor Doug Fortune explained after the meeting that although no final decision was made on the validity of the program, council decided to dis- courage landowners from entering an agreement with the county, Apparently agreements through the Maitland Valley Con- servation Authority and directly with the Ministry of Natural Resources are less expensive. Trees acquired through the county plan are planted by elementary school children, under the direction of county representatives. In other business •council decided to apply for an erosion control project for Turnberry Park. The pro- ject, which was outlined by the MVCA during the Aug. 5 meeting, will cost about $750. Since the authority covers 85 per cent of the fee, Turn - berry's share was estimated at $113. The project will result in the protection,of the exposed bank, prone to washing during peak flows. MVCA representatives aplained that 70 feet of bank needs protection. There are three types of control: a cement retaining wall, gabion baskets and rip -rapping. It was decided that rip - rapping would be the most economical and the work should be completed later this year.

However it was requested he be notified that he cannot continue commerce in town. 0-0-0 Council reviewed com- plaints ,that people were operating businesses in their own homes without paying a business tax.

Turnberry decided it would be forced to borrow money for quarterly payments, probably at a rate higher than that of the school board. A motion regarding . the issue, moved by Mr. For- tune, explained the quarterly payments: would serve to lower the school mill rate, while raising the township. rate by the same or a larger amount, thus hiding the true school coot and making it appear as a township cost. "Many people are un- aware of the true percentage of their taxes which goes to education, therefore Turn - berry Township Council opposes the quarterly collection of the school levy." The motion :ontinued, stating that the Huron County Board of Education be asked to consider the collection of education faxes' directly by the board.
