Ask that birds not be protected Tuckersmith against gulls Tuckersmith Township has added its voice to the outcry against the growing popula- tion of ring -billed gulls and endorsed a resolution Tues- day from Downie Township in neighboring Perth County to make the birds an un- protected species. The resolution asks the en- vironment ministry to remove the gulls from the list of protected birds because the scavengers are invading farms, urban areas and beaches in every -increasing numbers. The resolution, which is being circulated among municipalities, says they pollute the environment, destroy farm produce, eat useful earthworms and make it hard for other birds to survive. Council also learned its ap- plication for $175,000 under the Ontario neighborhood im- provement program (ONIP) from the Ministry of Citizen- ship and Culture has been ap- proved. A special council meeting is to be called later this month to pass the necessary property standards bylaw before projects are set. Under the program, the province provides half the money for improvements in older, deteriorating neighborhoods whose residents have low to moderate incomes.

The province contributes 50 percent toward the cost of the neighbourhood improvement projects, such as recreational facilities, parks, sidewalks and roads. CratonEast By MRS.
