a kes
After considering the Town-
ship's Tile Drainage grant of
$52,100., Hibbert council
decided to allow the approvals
granted before April 1, 1976 to
stand. All applications after that
date will be treated on a first
come, first served basis, except
those applicants having existing
tile drainage loans would revert to
the bottom of the list.
The amount granted per hund-
red acres was reduced from
$15,000. to $9,Q00. Council had
directed the clerk to appeal
directly to the Minister of Agri-
culture, The Hon. W. Newman,
explaining the need for tile
drainage to increase productivity,
which is desperately needed in
the World Food Shortage Crisis.
To • date no reply had been
received.' -
Benny Mueller, Senior Health
Inspector with the Perth District
Health Unit explained to council
its septic tank operation. Concern
was expressed by the council of
"raised tile beds", their appear-
ance and the problems they could
create. Mr. Mueller explained
that sometimes this was the only
method" possible, particularly
where there were high water
tables and nearby wells. Reeve
McPhail expressed council's
appreciation to Mr. Mueller
The Court of Revision on the
"Flat Creek" Drainam, works
was opened, and there being no
appeals, was closed. Council and
ratepayers will meet to read the
Roney Drainage Works report on
Thursday, May 20 at the Town-
ship Hall at 8 p.m.
Operating under the New
Drainage Act of 1975 which
became law on April 1, council
appointed Henry Uderstadt,
0.L. S., Engineer of Orangeville,
to bring in a report on two
petitions on and near the site of
the Hoggarth Drain. Unde the
new act, it is the respons. tlity of
the Engineer to arrang an "on
site" meeting wi the
petitioners.
The tender of Machan
Construction was accepted for
building up of roads on two sites
at Con. 10 and 11, Lots 1 and 5 for
pit run $1.12 art.(' dirt 95 cents and
at Con. 2 and 3; Lots 16 and 20 at
$1.15 pit run and 60 cents dirt.
Both are subject to M.T.C.
approval., The tender of Pollard
Bros. for chloride at $80.60 per
ton was approved.
Council had ' in February
decided to re-tender on the Burns
Drainage works, the tenders at
that time being considered high.
The new tender was much more
in line with the engineer's report,
$3,200. compared with $6,000. in
February. The tender of John
Niter for this amount was
accepted.
Two temporary permits were
issued for the installation of
trailers in the township; one while
the residence was being recon-
structed, and two while alterna-
tive' accommodation was being
sought. Both applicants are
required to sign agreements on
condition of residency.
The clerk was directed to write
a letter of appreciation to the
Mitchell Agricultural Society for
their efforts in obtaining a grant
to assist in the building of the new
arena. The Township's share was
$975.93.
The budget of the Mitchell and
District Planning Board, and the
Committee of Adjustment, were
approved.
