The subsidy is for a con- struction carry-over on the Martin Bridge. Last month's budget showed a $9,300 deficit plus $9,000 owing for the construction of the bridge. Council had requested • a larger supplementary, subsidy for drainage work, but was_ informed by the ministry that no further grant would be forthcoming since funds are limited. In other business, Reeve Bill Elston told council he has been approached by several residents with regard to the cutting of trees along Highway 4 this sum- mer. These people ' are concerned that healthy trees will be destroyed in order for the highway to be widened. Council decided to send a letter to the MTC requesting that only clearly diseased trees be cut. Jim McNeil of Brussels „., attended to request a bylaw which would Convey 175 feet of Lorne Street in the village of Brussels to him. The conveyance would give him clear title to his property. Reeye Elston • cautioned. council that since the street in question is a boundary road between Morris Township and the village of Brussels, the village must also. convey half to Mr. McNeil. He suggested that Mr. McNeil meet with his lawyer, Alan Mill of Wingham, and Gary Davidson of the Huron County planning department to try to arrive at an amicable solution. Mr. McNeil asked, "Do you think they have the answers?" • Councillor Clare Van Camp, said, "We (the township) haven't made much use of the road and I don! t think we ever wi j." He expressed sympathy for Mr. McNeil's' plight and said everyone has a right ,to a Clear title to his property. • After ' some discussion, council contacted Mr. McNeil's lawyer, Mr. Mill, and asked him to prepare a bylaw which would dose the section of road in question, convey • 175 feet to Mr. McNeil and the'reniainder to the Brussels Agricultural Society. . • .Emma Bird of Lot 20, ton. 7 also attended to discuss an incident which occurred .April 11 in which 11 sheep belonging to her were agitat- ed by two dogs. The township's livestock evaluator offered her $630 for cjamages incurred. But Mrs. Bird refused the offer, stating it was too low. SJ,e appealed her case to the livestock branch of the BROWNIES FLYING 8 WALKING up to Guides Monday night included: (back. row) Shannon Bee- croft, Jodi Mundell, Halley -Jo Robertson, Karen Clugston; (middle) Bonnie Loughran, Sarah Middle- ton, Michelle Cummings, Cheri Wraith; (front) Julie Davidson, Jennifer Layton, Lori Belanger and Val erie Elliott.

The ministry's evaluator also estimated Mrs. Bird's losses to be $630. DOS. Bird now has Ogeatened to take legal aa0Onagainst the township. t�ourtcil , endorsed, with qualifieation n, a petition from the town of Wingharn. The town requested support for a motion which would enable- deputy reeves from municipalities to sit on coun- ty council in the reeve's absence. Council said it agreed with the concept of having someone appointed to fill the reeve's position in the case of an unavoidable absence, such as sickness. Reeye Elston cautioned, though,' that continuity is necessary. A new man should not be sent to council each month just because it is inconvenient for the reeve to attend. If one takes on the responsibility of the position he should be obligated to ful- fill II his duties. Council received a request for $500 from the Morris 125th anniversary com- mittee for souvenir articles. Council decided to grant the request and to pay Jean Kirkby, author of the township's historical book, $3,000 now which is one-half of her fee and $3,000 when the book is published. Mrs. , Kirkby will also receive a 50 per cent share of the last 500 books after township expenses are deducted, payable Dec. 31, 1981. She will renegogiate her contract if there is a reprinting of the book. John Earl of the Ministry of the Environment attended to submit a plan of operation for the township's dump. Council requested revisions be made to the plan and then it be returned to council for its approval. The plan must be submitted to the ministry by Dec. 31 of this year. The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority sent a letter to council requesting that the township main in the roadway p91Gon: 1,, tS.. 29 and 30 eve%y ,other. year. The roadway is an entrance to a conservation area at Bluevale operated by the MVCA. The maintenance will include grading, A2 gravelling and. the .,-ap= pliention of .. ealeiurn chloride. • The township will :share the responsibility with Turnberry •, Township because the road•auowance in question is the boundary road between Morris and Turnberry townships. The Bluevale Recreation Committee told council that the lights for the Bluevale ballpark are in and the committee • requested $50Q from the township. The. lights are to be dedicated on 41Y 4. at a hgraeshoe Wglu na#nent,'beefrbarbque and basebaRgatlla. Reeve Elston tpasked to speak at the dedleabon. The request for the money was granted: Two minor eptions .to the tree-cuttibylaw were received: an accepted: Wayne and Ken *Hopper of Lot 5, Con. 3 -applied to clear 15.3 acres of birch and poplar, subject to the feasability of draining the land. Aubrey McNichol of Lot 13, Con. 9 applied to have five acres of poplar and willows cleared to make a corner lot square. Council granted consent to an application for a severance submitted by Helmut Niemen of Lot 5, Con. 2. Mr:Niessen wishes to severe 50 acres from his farm and retain 1.2 acres of the property. Council recommended consent be given because it is a farm - related enterprise. Councillor Tom Miller was appointed commissioner for the Mason and Turvey drains, both on Con. 3. Council also requested that a report be prepared for im- provements to be made to the Grasby A drain, Lot 1, Con. 6. Council named the street in Belgrave on which Keith and Bonnie Pletch live Corbett Drive after one of the township's earliest settlers.
