East Wawanosh ends year
with a surplys of $9,700
East Wawanosh Township
ended last year with a $9,700
surplus, down from its surplus
.'of $22,000 in 1978 but still very
good, township councillors
learned last week.
"You came out quite nicely
on the year," Auditor Mich,
Boyles of MacGillivray .and
Company told them. -.0
He went on to review the
fmancial•statement and make
a number of suggestions, the
most important off which was
that they should "sit on" their
banker to.make sip the town-
ship isnyt paying more than it
needs to in short term interest.
Money deposited in the bank
is not being credited, against
the outstanding loan, from
which the township draws its
operating funds, he explained.
As • a result there were times
when the township had $78,000
cash in its account, earning
interest of only three per cent,
while at the same time there
was a loan outstanding of
• $110,000, for which it was
being charged interest at 15
per cent:
He said banks often, will not
automatically credit deposits
against outstanding loans,
since that is more profitable
for them, and it's up to the
township to make sure
deposits are credited.
Last. year East Wawanosh
paid a total of more than
$16,000 in short\term interest
charg .sem.
The auditor also. recom-
mended the township should
buy a 'Protect -O -Graph'
cheque writer to protect
against alterations or
forgeries, though there was no
suggestion East Wawanosh
has been having - problems in
' this department.
He further recommended
the bond on the clerk -
treasurer should be increased
to $30,001 from $10,000 and that
council should seriously
consider purchasing errors
and omissions insurance. At
the present time there is no
protection against a lawsuit
over a council error or
omission, he pointed out.
As a final, major recom-
mendation he urged coun-
cillors to very seriously
consider switching to a twice -
yearly tax billing. East
Wawanosh is one of the. 'few
municipalities still billing only
once a year and this also adds
to interest costs, he pointed
out.
,Council last year considered
adding a second billing date,
perhaps in June; but voted to
stay with the single November
billing.
In other business at its
March meeting, council gave
third reading and final
passage to a bylaw providing
for a liquor vote in the town-
ship this spri g. The vote is
being held at the request of the
Belgrave and District Kin-
smen Club. and the club has
agreed to cover all costs.
Councillors Don Dow and
John Currie expressed some
misgivings about the liquor
vote. but Councillor Ralph
Campbell „pointed out the
Kinsmen could force a vote by

getting up a petition, in wlfch
case the township would have
to foot the costs of holding the
vote.
Council received a written
report from engineer Bill Shif-
flett' on the Jaretzke Drain
cleanout, which he said was
done properly, :as •well as a
letter from • Maitland
Engineering, Wingham,
regarding a study to be done
on the • township dump site.
The company estimated the
cost of the study, which has
been ordered by the Ontario
Ministry of the Environment,
at $1,200 to $1,500, providing no
problems are discovered
*hich ' would require. further
• investigation.
Council agreed to engage
Maitland Engineering to do
the study, although' Reeve
Simon •Hallahan said he
wasn't in favor of it. He
doesn't see why a •dump is
needed at all, he commented,
since he has farmed, for 50
years and never had any
garbage.

commitment until they could
find out whether grants would
be available. • The Kinsmen

P.roposed Cruickshank ParkApartments
Above is an artist's rendering of the develop' -
merit proposed for Cruickshank Park, showing
how the senior citizens' apartments would fit
into the existing park and how the park would
look when it was done.
The apartment building itself would be
attractively finished in brick and aluminum siding.
It would be 94 feet wide and 110 feet deep, with
two storeys accommodating 19 living units in-
cluding a suite for the handicapped. Most of the
living units would open to the north or south.,
with the rest opening to the rear of the building.
in order to shield the residents from any traffic
noise along Josephine Street, none of the living
units would open onto the main street.
ThP apartments would -tie set back about 33
feet from the sidewalk and the whole &Atl-n(2
would occupy about 170 feet at the southern
end of the park, leaving 175 feet of parkland
between it and Alfred Street. The construction
would require the removal of one small tree and
two Targe ones, but the rest of the existing trees
would remain to provide shade and a pleasant
atmosphere.
The town plans to move the memorial plaque
honoring 'Doc' Cruickshank further to the north
and place it behind a redesigned fountain, which
would be easier to maintain and -keep functioning
than the present one. A paved walkway would
wind past the fountain and through the park to
provide a pleasant stroll for anyone entering the
park. In addition, a 5 -foot by 5 -foot plaque on the
front of the building would_ identify it as a Senior
Citizens' Building in memory of 'Doc' Cruickshank
and another historical plaque commemorating
Doc's achievements wuutd be ;::curt4d in the
kg
lobby.
We feel that a redesigned park would
encourage more people to use it and that the
proximity to the senior citizens' apartments
would reduce the problems of vandalism. WO
think the development as proposed would be a
great asset to the Town of Wingham and we
want you to see what we have planned and judge
for *ourselves. We hope this will help to clear
up any misconceptions anyone might have had
about -the project.'
