BLYTH - The Village of Blyth saw many
changes in 19 Roads -were paved, a
sidewalk and park area developed at
Memorial Hall, land was purchased at the
Community Centre, and the Blyth-Hullett
waste disposal site won approval to stay in
operation.
Council held a ratepayers' meeting on
December 4 at which time each councillor
explained what had been done in specific
areas throughout the year. They also ex-
plained what plans they had for the upcom-
ing year.
ON. II'
Councillor Lloyd Sippel explained, "The
Ontario Neighbourhood Improvement Pro -
.gram, or ONIP, is a very worthwhile pro-
gram. We are fortunate to become involved
with it."
Council submitted an application in 1983
for funds. The original application was for
$400,000. The Ministry of Municipal Affairs
and Housing were to contribute $200,000 and
the Village would contribute $200,000.
On Oct. 24 and Nov. 1, 1983, residents and
representatives from service clubs attended
a meeting at which time many possible pro-
jects were discussed.
The ministry received many applications
and Blyth's grant was reduced to $200,000.
Half from the ministry and half from the
village. Council also told that the program
would stretch'from 1984-86..
Council immediately applied for a pre -
implementation of funds because of sewer
installation and the need to improve the
streets. The $30,000 they received enabled
the 1983 paving program to be enlarged.
- After looking at the various areas which
the grant could be used, council decided to
put the funds into municipal service and
social -recreational projects.

A. land aquisition was also made at the
community centre. A 30 foot strip along the
back of the arena and a lot on Gypsy Lane
were purchased for $7,200. The cost of.
development, including survey and legal
fees, will bring the project costs to $14,200.
The Village of Blyth and the Township of
Hallett have agreed to .pay $4,615 each. In
Blyth's case, $2,315 came - out of the 1984
budget and the .remaining $2,300 will come -
from the 1985., budget. The Townships of
Morris, East Wawanosh and West
Wawanosh are also considering grants for
the development of the property. •
•A survey showed that the .. residents of
' Hulled and Blyth use the Blyth and District
Community-- Centre equally, therefore the
two municipalities pay an equal -portion of
the expenses.
