Councillor Doug Fraser and a member of the Blyth fire board informed taxpayers that a new addition was added to the firehall in Blyth. Morris receives fire protection from Blyth, Bruss'cls and Wingham. Noting the township roads "are very good", Mr. Fraser said he has worked on sederal ditches and "learned something." Pleased with attendance at the meeting councillorBob Grasby said the township had received a $2,000 government grant, which was, used to dean -up abandoned cemeteries. He said t'ourleens, two girls and two boys, erected a new fence at Sunshine cemetery„ -.It's a credit to the township, especially the older generation." Browntown cemetery was also cleaned, with grass and weeds cut. ,.Time and grant money was still available, so the inside of the township hall was painted and brush was cut in various locations in the township. Although no large ditch projects were scheduled, Mr. Grasby said most of the ditching work was of a maintenance nature. "We have ditches, ditches and more ditches. ie powers -to -be have suggested hiring a drainage commissioner, but the township cannot justify the cost." The only councillor not seeking re-election, Clare •Van Camp said he has decided not to run "because -of my own personal feelings." Mr. Van Camp said he has "attempted to do niy best. have made mistakes but always • ttempted to rectify. If there was something 1 ids rl'ke• 1 said it. I didn't run to gain f -ends b, for the'best of the ratepayers.". memb of the Wingham and area fire hoar . Mr. n Canip said the township nssi ed in the chase of a new tire truck t December. The township's portion of the cost was 18 per cent or SI1.600. The Ontario Fire Marshall recently attended a board meeting to discuss new fire agreements. Mr. Van Camp informed ratepayers that the township will have to pass bylaws to enter into agreements. Financial figures were presented by township clerk Nancy Michie. Road expendi- tures for the township are 5315,293.68. The 1982 budget allows for S385.000. She said approximately $I-.000 remains for road construction. Expenditures for Morris are approximately 5800.000. She said expend' - tures will be at par with the budget. Fire costs for 1981 were 512.600: Costs for 1982, as of September 1, are S25,000, up due to the purchase of a new fire truck in Wingham. Tax arrears have increased slightly to 12 per cent. Huron County school board representa- tive. John Elliott said as chairman of the salary negotiating committee. the 1982.83 teacher contracts had been successfully negotiated. "The provincial and federal legislation will create problems next year ss ith the five and six per cent program." explained Mr. Elliott. He said the salary schedule is achiev,ed using a'gridsystem. Referring to the restrictions. Mr. Elliott said. "it may be Fine for the next two years, but what if the province rescinds the bill?" BILL 82 Noting the biggest development was thc implementation of Bill 82. Mr. Elliott said the hill requires that school boards provide education for all students. such as slow and gifted learners. He said the county has a "good special education program but it appears the ooard will have to staff a psychologist to complete institution of Bill 82 " When asked by a ratepayer the last increase teachers received. Mr. Elliott replied "11.5 per cent" was thc last increase." which did not fall under govern• Hunt wage controls. Concerned with dogs running at large in thc township, Mrs. Emma Bird asked council NOW = RECEIVING about "declaring a dog that attacks sheep." Mrs. Bird has approached council in the past with problems of dogs killing and injuring her sheep. In the most recent incident, Mrs. Bird said the dog responsible was owned by Roger Somers. Council has reimbursed Mrs. Bird but could not bill Mr. Somers due to lack of evidence. Reeve Bill Elston replied council "couldn't prove it was Mr. Somers' dog because he said the dog was at home 10 minutes prior to the attack." He said a bill was, sent but said "it wasn't his dog. If you catch the dog, then we can' destroy it." Councillor Bob Grasby explained that council "is not saying anybody is a liar, but we have to take everybody's word, that is why there was insufficient evidence. Any dog on your property, you have the right to destroy." .WORRYING SHEEP Mrs, 'Bird said her sheep have been "worried five times this summer, Is council going to .Come to the farm and -Watch the sheep?" She doncluded that the dog should should he ".done away with." A new resident in the township, Murray Mush, said township roads "are in better shape than other municipalities. I understand council gave permission- 10 a resident to operate a social club." Not upset, with the 'club. Mr. Musty asked more calcium be applied to , the roads because of a dust problem. Recsi Tilston said permission was never given by council. "but the individual came to tee Inc, but 1 sent him to the health board." As for calcium, he said each year the township gravels one half of the township and "solid e'hloride". Therefore the ocher half of the township is not done. He said approxi- mately 200 ton at 5153 per ton was applied in 1982. Total cost was approximately 540,000. "We're trying to do our best," An unidentified ratepayer agreed there was a dust problem and questioned the practise by certain farmers of plowing up to the road edge. "The road is being used for a headland." Councillor Doug Fraser said the:township owns the roads up to the fence line. "Some think they own the road." Mrs. Emma Bird added that corn is also planted to close to road edge and at intersections. Forster council member. Ross Procter said there is always controversy on council on what, when and how to do things! "It would be good if' some who never had experience on council would run for election." Noting he had seri. ed with all present council members, Mt. Procter offered his congratulations for a job w ell dnnc. "It is easy to blame government but we should look at ourselves first instead of asking others to do things for us. So mane think it is easier to ask someone else... RECORDED Township resident Don Fraser asked if the report of the road superintendent was included in council minutes. Concerning a matter where council extracted fill from his farm in return for levelling of the site and rebuilding a fence. Mr. Fraser said there was no account in the minutes showing a deal. "So a deal with Lloyd Michie (road superintendent) is 00 deal at all." Mr. Fraser felt all transactions should be recorded. Necyc Elston said the township had ley died the site. erected a new fence and "tried to do a good•joh. The whole council was m agreement with chat was done." Not pleased with the leyelling of thc field. Mr. Fraser said "it was a mess when you left it and %nu have to agree:'" Councillor Clare Van Camp explained. "1 was there and the field was gond enough for me to put a crop on before von spent an additional 51.800 for more Icy ening." Former councillor and possibly a Council tandidatc, Sam Pletch sant "averbal • agreement is only as good as those who make it, Ini the future such matters should be in writing." Ross Procter felt if judgement and common sense is used. 90 per cent of all problems can be solved. Let's not shackle with the involvement and and lawyers."
