Mr.- Douglas said that the animal control officer does • make his rounds but added he cannot be everywhere in the township In addition, the revenue generated by dog license fees is not enough to. „ support around-the-clock patrol and enfOrcement of - the animal problem. Asked how much dog licenses cost, Wes Ball . said that a male or spayed female license costs $10, or $20 for a fertile female and a kennel license is now $30.

Svas- talking to three men who weree't billed for.$71,000 worth of drainage Work - done last- fall on number 10 deain, branch Mr. Gibson wondered why the township did not send its invoices out- earlier. He asked council who paid the interest on monies borrowed to finance a dram project. Clerk Bali indicated the township is only a mid- dleman for the Drainage A,et auu tug Litu-rucr. nesaki we costs of- a drain project are kept on a ledger until the work is completed, at which point the farmer is invoiced. for the total amount plus the costs of financing. The in- terest cost is calculated into • the whole program ex- penditure and can then be subject to a provincial grant of one-third the total cost. The other route the town- , ship and farmer may go, according to Mr. Ball, is to IT'S TRUE We do offer 10¼% interest, with chequinq, all in one account One passbook.

STANDARD TRUST render invoices early, so that the farmer -may pay his share without paying the high borrowing rates, however -if -he -must -borrow the money to pay his share, he would be better advised to complete his project and then apply for a grant of one- third of his costs. •Regarding the three men who were not billed for work done last fall, the clerk - treasurer said he does not send invoices out until the work has been completed and the project in question was not completed until June or July of this year. Another question from the floor concerned the town- ship's two Board of Education representatives, Bert .Morin and Murray Mulvey, earl beginning a second term. Asked if some students in the Listowel high school area were still being bused to Norwell District Secondary School in Palmerston, Murray Mulvey said that while this "choice" had been offered to Ford- wich students in, the past, students entering the high school system this year must attend the high school„tre Listowel. "There are certain jects offered at Norwell aren't offered at LDSS", Mulvey said. Mr. Morin said, "when a course is cut because of small classes „ such as the Latin courses, students are sent to a school where those subjects are taught." The situation arises, in Fordwich • because buses from both schools travel through the village. Mr. Morin noted it costs to school a ' student each day. He said the municipal taxpayer only pays 31.93 per cent or $4.89 per student, per day, the rest of the cost being absorbed by the provincial taxes,, "The education problem really worries me," Bert Morin said. "A pupil en- tering kindergarten this year, will be in the work force in, perhaps, 15 years. We have to take a good look at what we're doing to our _young people and wonder if . the high cost of education" has had a negative eflect on their opportunities. Another question con- cerned the salary of the director of education for the county of Huron. Mr. Morin said that this year, the salary will be about $46,000 but emphasized that in the past, the director has worked for token amounts; $500 one year, and no pay in another year. Asked if the board had considered the option of using diesel -powered school buses to lower the fuel consumption, Mr. Morin said the board had not considered it, "but it is a valid point that deserves mention at the board level." After each of the coun- cillors had said a few words to those in attendance, Walter Renwick asked what mere the salaries of the councillors. "And do they deserve it?" h ked. Bill Newton - said t councillors el ree ive $1,000 for thei t and effort, and asked Mr. Renwick to be the judge of 237 Josephine St, Wieghticra, Ontartoireleptiont 357 2022 Offices Err Sommilio • Br an * amettioadvi/ Escoli *Hantairol, Mallklutro•Olemm Path o Penh o Pima gtiottrato O Wane/trim o Wiflovadalo Windt°, Winghore o Woodomae Fa/deraftvauxforofComMoy Menke, Cod arpot/ Insatance Comorcr+on Ah3 their deservedness. Some mention was made at the Oct. 22 meeting about the Pits and Quarries legislation and-how-iteffects Howick. In a subsequent telephone call to Wes Ball, The Banner learned that this legislation has been in force for a number of years, that the province has been adding municipalities to the Act year by year, and that the security deposit, a fund held by the Ministry of Natural Resources to ensure the rehabilitation of operating quarries, may be increased if Howick Township \is added to the legislation in 1 1. By adding Howick to the legislation, the township Would be required to observe the guidelines of theAd. At present, the security deposit is eight cents per metric tonne, but a proposed in- crease would take the deposit to, perhaps, 14 cents per tonne ( the price is under stud; the deposit may be -Itigher or lower than the proposed 14 cents). Of the deposit, an estimated four cents per tonne would go to the • township, and, as Howick has no quarry within its boundaries, this money would leave the area. It was suggested that Howick Township should encourage the beginning of a quarry, for its own purposes as well as for the remuneration that would come by way of the Act. On the subject of gravel, another question arose concerning why the road gravel is spread go late in the year, only to- have the snowpiows push it to the winter.shilide:I* r.; the road each Stuai:t tpouglas replied, that the *cium chloride is spread s the dust 2aelt,,minimum, and that less0f the chemical is wasted if applied to gravel that has been well-packedi "We get more mileage from Out rOads by gravelling in the fall and chloridizing in the spring:" he said: .
