won't be too many positions
left open on Morris Township
Cowell, almost all
members voiced their in-
tentions to run for another
term, •.during Monday
evening's general meethig.
Councillor Ross Proctor
was the only Member who
wasn't sure what his plans
will be for the election.
"I'm more inclined to drop
out than` to stand, but I
haven't, made up my mind
Yet... III have to think it
over' said Mr. Proctor,
adding that his work load is
getting fairly heavy.
ReeVe Bill Elston said,
• "I'd like to see you here; I
think you!re needed, Ross."
•111fr. Elston explained he
40ouldbe willing to step down

Mt°. Proctor said that other
members of the community
may wish to run for council
this year, and suggested that
a nomination meeting be
held before the nomination
date of Oct. 16. He said a
meeting should be held so
that township ratepayers
can have an opportunity to
ask questions and declare
their intentions.
It was decided that the
meeting would be held at the
Town.ship Hall on Oct. 15 at 8
p.m, The closing date for
• nominations isOct. 20.
In other business Leona
McDonald, treasurer for the
main committee organizing
the township's 125th birthday
celebrations, attended the
meeting to ditcuss funds
needed to begin the events.
Reeve Elston explained
that council gave the 'cen-
tennial committee,. $500 in
1955 to begin fund-raising
events and purchase cen-
• tennial souvenirs and ban-
ners. During that celebration
it was decidestixthe4ownship

the event, in cooperation
with the executive com-
mittee.
• The township agreed, that
$500 would not• be enough to
start the ball rolling and sug-

that Morris would guarantee
expenses incurred by the
celebrations, as in 1955.
Morris received corres-
pondence from the Ministry
of Natural Resources ex-
plaining that pits and quer-
` ries in the township -will be
regulated by the Pits and
Quarries Act, as of Jan. 1,
1981.
The Act, which regulates
the operation and rehabili-
tation of private and muni-
cipally owned pits and
quarries, states that an
operator must apply for a
licence from the MNR -in
order to operate a pit. The
application must be for-
warded together with a site
plan, prepared by an
engineer or Ontario land
surveyor.
The letter stated that the
levy,.paid to the province for
'rehabilitation security' has
been increased to eight cents
per metric ton from two
cents per ton.
Morris is one of 158 Ontario
townships that: must comply
with the Act as of Jan, 1.

to the director of the en-

Council wasn't sure how
extensive the development
plan should be, and decided
to appeal it if the plan were
too expensive.
Four plow tenders were
opened during the meeting,
with the lowest bid being
submitted by Jim Adams for
$18 per hour and $12 per day
for standby. Council also
accepted a tender for a
grader from George Radford
at $27.50 per hour and $12 per
day standby.
It was decided that Mr.
Adams attend the next
council meeting to discuss
snow plowing duties on the
third and fourth concession.
Morris accepted an offer of
$50 from Harold Bolger for
the Walton library building.
Council passed a
resolution to request of copy*
of sales used to establish the
1981 equalization factor,
which has been set at 5.17.
Last year's township factor
was 5.31.
The factor is used to ap-
portion the levy the township
pays to the county and school
board. It also determines the,
amount of grant received
from the province.

igt enter prope-1-14. vrhefe entry, is
prohibited. But now new legislation —
The Trespass to Property Act—has
toughened up the law to protect
your rights.
Trespassers can now be fined up to
$1,000. In addition,.they can be ordered
to pay for damages they have caused. •
An important part of the legislation
designates premises where entry is -
prohibited without notice. These
include your gardens, orchards,
vineyards, land under cultivation,
woodlots and fenced land.
Where notice must be.given to
prohibit entry, you may use red
markings on gates, trees or fences.
Yellow markings may be used to caution
that only certain activities may be
permissible. It is the responsibility of
the visitor to find out what youpermit.
LAND USED FOR RECREATION
In the past, there was a great deal Of
confusion regarding your responsibility
to people you allow on your land.
Consequently many farmers and rural
landholders would not allow recreational
activities on their properties.
Now another new act—The Occupiers'
Liability Act --reduces your responsi-
bility. In a nutshell, the law assumes
that those who take their recreation on
most rural land without paying a fee
will take care for their own safety..
spechu system has uteri ievised
to allow you to easily indicate which
activities you will glow on your
property. A sign naming or graphically
representing an activity (for example,
hilchig)Indicates that the activity is
permitted: The same kind of sign with
an oblique stroke through it means
that you prohibit the activity.
These new laws are part
of a continuing program to
streamline our legislation.
By clarifying Our
they afford you greater
protection from trespass
and also reduce your
liability when you make
land available for
recreational purposes.
