The roadway, which leads to the homes of John Stacey, Brian Leachman and Don Fraser, was maintained pre- viously by the home owners. However at the last meeting the owners requested that the township take over and maintain the street because there were three homes on it. Although council is at- tempting to discourage township takeovers of dead end roads it decided to draft an agreement for this one, but another agreement is being constructed for future cases. The road committee was instructed to draw a map of the township outlining areas where restrictions on building permits exist, in- cluding roadway restric- tions, flood plain and hazard land areas. In the meantime the Lower Wingham roadway has been accepted, including only the portion that is up to stan- dards as outlined by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications,. In other business 'Slippery When Wet' signs will be placed just before the Lower Wingham bridge. Council decided. to install the signs as the result of a minor ac- cident that occurred there in October. Apparently the accident happened when the bridge was wet and council members agreed that the bridge is slippery. under those conditions. Councillor , John Cox suggested also that someone be hired to spread sand on the bridge when weather conditions are bad. John Lane attended the meeting to discuss payment for his two deer under the Livestock and Poultry Protection Act_ He reported that the deer were in an enclosure and broke their, necks after being frightened, possibly by Bags. Reeve , Brian McBurney explained that according to the livestock commissioner,. deer arg not covered under the -Act because they are not commercial animals resulting in a financial loss to the owner. Therefore the township is not obliged to compensate Mr. Lane for his animals, which were pets. Mr. Lane argued, "It's pretty well a clear-cut case", because the deer were killed by dogs and the township livestock evaluator suggested he take the animals to be checked at a clinic at his own expense. Reeve McBurney said the deer should have been checked to see if there were any dog or wolf markings on them, however since there were no marks on the deer andno tracks around the en- closure, there is no proof that dogs even caused the in- cident. A letter was re eived from the livestock evaluator, George Adams, regarding a wage for 1981. Council in- creased his wages to $25 per claim from $15, and added $4.75 per hour after the first three hours. Mr. Adam's mileage payment was in- creased to 26 cents per mile from 23 cents. Bill Shifflett, the township engier, presented a preliminary report for repair and extension of the Gregory, Fischer, Pringle Municipal Drain. After an extensive „explanation of the work proposed, council authorized the engineer to construct an official report. Out of the 19 affected landowners, only three, Murray Mc(ague, Bill Melton and John Lane, at- tended council to. hear the report. The drain extends from Part Lot 23, Con. 8 to Lot 22, Con. 11. Turnberry gave third • reading to the Fortune Muni- cipal Drain bylaw during the meeting, after receiving Ontario Municipal Board approval. Council agreed to donate $25 to the Huron County His- torical Society. Bob Searson, a member of the Bluevale Chamber' of Commerce, attended the meeting to discuss policing the village on Hallowe'en nights. Mr. Searson asked for suggestions from the eadnea v to discourage the'en pranks and Tures that occur every year.
