Although in the letter, dated May 2, he wrote, At the present time no site for the works shed has been established, a second letter, dated May 8, in- formed the OMB a site had been found. "Please be assured that no construction will take place (on the site) until approval from the Board has been approved," Mr. Bosetti wrote. Council's decision to buy the property came after a brief report on the site by the Land Acquisition Com- mittee. Councillors decided not to wait for an OMB reply before purchasing the land. "You've got to buy the land before you can do anything else," said Coun. Norm Fairies. "Then you talk to the lawyers and turn the surveyors loose. My view is to get the land and then get your engineer and say 'Go to it,' and then call for tenders and you're away." The council also decided, at the May 7 meeting, to employ the engineering services of William Kelly and Associates, a civil engineering firm in Kit- chener.

Howick to buy land for new township shed GO? RIE — Howick Township Council has agreed to buy a parcel of land for a new township shed.

The township will buy three, acres fronting on Highway 87 for $4000 per acre and has agreed to pay all legal costs for the transaction. The parcel will have to be severed by Huron County Council but Howick coun- cillors do not anticipate any objections to the purchase or the land severance. Howick Township Council says the need for a new township shed was necessitated by space problems and by council's intention to turn the old shed into a satellite fire station of the Wingham and Area Fire Board. The purchasing of the land, for $12,000., will likely be complete before the township receives a reply to its request for approval from the Ontario Municipal Board (OMB) to pay for the new shed over a two-year period. Approval is necessary since the new shed will not be paid for by the end of the present council's titin of office and a sizable .financial " com- mitment will be left to the incoming council. In a letter to the OMB, Howick Clerk -treasurer Marvin Bosetti wrote, "The building of a new works shed was initiated at the time of the signing of the new fire agreement with the Wing - ham and Area Fire Board. . . Under this agreement the Township of Howick is to supply a building to house the fire equipment which, is to be placed in the township. This agreement was signed by all parties in February 1984." He explained that Howick qualifies for a grant from the Ministry of Transportation and Communications for the construction of a new shed, but does not qualify for any grants to build a fire station. Asked by the OMB to in- clude the projected impact on ratepayers, Mr. Bosetti wrote although the budget had not yet been prepared, the increase in taxes is ex- pected to be about one -and -a - half to two -and -a -half per cent over 1984. After remaining constant since 1979, Howick taxes took a 73.3 per cent jump in 1984, going from 39.683 mills (for residential and farming) to 68.801 mills. A two per cent increase in 1985 would bring the mill rate to 70.171. Between 1979 and 1984 when taxes remained constant, Huron County Board of Education increases totalled 62.4 per cent.
