Morris council begins second
year in busy session
At the beginning of the Morris
Township Council meeting on
December 2, Reeve Douglas Fras
er began the proceedings by
welcoming council members back
for the second year of their three
year term, thanking each of them
for all the work they did on behalf of
the township in 1986.
Reeve Fraser reported that the
Bluevale Drain across Mac Black’s
property and the tile portion of the
Parker drain has been completed.
Councillor Howie Morton asked
that the Barnard, Bone and
Bosman Drain be completed as
soon as possible, and Councillor
Bert Elliott reported that repairs to
the Blyth Creek Drain would not be
done until the weather is suitable.
Councillor Bob Grasby told Clerk
Nancy Michie to bill the Higgins
Drain which was repaired at Jim
Barnes’ property, since the portion
re mainingtobe repaired isata
different location.
There was a large volume of
correspondence to be dealt with at
the meeting. A statement from the
legislature concerning 1987-88
transfer payments was presented,
and council discussed drawing up a
5-year range plan for budgeting
Shovel that snow please
With the heavy snows of winter
on the horizon, Canada Post
Corporation is seeking the co-oper- ’
ation of its rural customers and
snowplough operators across the
country.
Every year Rural Route contrac
tors who deliver mail to more than
one million Canadian residences
face the hazards of travelling
during the winter month£. In
addition, their job is hampefed by
the buildup of snow and ice around
mail boxes.
As the property of the riiral
resident, it is the postal customer’s
responsibility to keep the area
around the boxes as clear as
possible of snow. On behalf of its
purposes. A letter from the
Huron-Perth Separate School
Board regarding secondary school
support assessment was present
ed ; and a letter from the Ministry of
Transportation and Communica
tion advised that the repair of
Highway 4 will likely commence in
3-4 years.
Several other letters were filed,
and others were deferredfor future
consideration.
Council approved a motion made
by Mr. Morton that the emergency
plan be re-considered at a later
date, after further research into the
subject.
Council also approved a motion
by Councillor Clem McLellan that
it had no objection to the severance
application from Zygmunt and
Stella Kurowski for Lot 26, Conces
sion 6, since the residence would
be surplus to the proposed pur
chaser.
Council also stated it had no
objection to the proposed amend-
ent for Blyth to designate residen
tial property as core commercial.
Road Superintendant Lloyd
Michie recently attended a three-
day course sponsored by the
Ontario Good Roads Association,
and received a decal for his
rural route contractors, Canada
Post is asking all such customers to
do their best to ensure a clear path
to their boxes.
An additional problem for rural
route couriers as well as rural
residents is the damage and
destruction caused by snow
ploughs. Many cases are reported
each winter of snowploughs lopp
ing off boxes from their posts and
destroying the receptacles and
their moorings entirely. While
recognizing the difficult chore
. faced by plough operators, the post
officebelievesalittlemore care
and co-operation would alleviate
the problem considerably.
certificate noting he had complet
ed the Survey 11 Course, 1986.
Council has approved a motion
by Mr. Morton that $3,500 be
granted to the Morris Township
Recreation Committee for 1986.
Mr. Morton also said thatthe funds
loaned by Council to the Belgrave
Community Centre Board will be
refunded by year end. A request
for a grant to the Bluevale
Recreation Committee was deferr
ed for future consideration.
The tax assessment roll will not
be delivered to the township office
until late January, due to a delay in
legislation. As a result, the Open
Houses scheduled for December
10-11 have had to be delayed.
Information was received in
forming council that unconditional
grants to the township will be
increased from $1.25 to $3.00 per
household for 1987.
Council also learned that the tax
arrears for 1986 taxes to date is
$86,933.46, or 11.86 per cent.
Reeve Fraser and Mr. Grasby
attended a meeting of the Blyth
and Area Fire Board on December
1, and reported that expenditures
for 1987hadbeensetat $39,000, an
increase of $15,000 over 1986. The
increase is mainly due to an
increase in wages. Fire Board rates
were increased to $275 per hour, up
from $250.
Following the council meeting,
the Morris Township Recreation
Committee held a short meeting.
Upon a motion by Mr. Grasby,
several grants were approved for
payment. The last half of the 1986
grants for the Blyth Community
Centre Board and the Brussels,
Morris and Grey Community
Centre Board, $1,079.50 and
$2,000 respectively will be paid, as
well as $100 toward the Brussels
Santa Claus Parade. Expenses for
Neil Gowing, Henry Devlin, Bruce
Bromley and Carmen Craig, aris
ing from attendance at Recreation
meetings, were also approved for
payment.
