with the new shed when we
have an opportunity to utilize
the existing shed for a fire
hall."
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 property belongs to
William Bennett and Sons'
Farm Ltd., which now owns
about 97 acres on Highway 87
about two miles east of
Gorrie.

cillors made the decision
after a short discussion at
their May 7 meeting. 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.
'Mr. Bosetti wrote to the
OMB, "Council feels that
now is the time to proceed
