about a dozen residents
•rpk advantage of an invi-
• • lation from Morris council to
attend last Friday's meeting
and discuss township busi-
ness- The ratepayers were
given an opportunity to
peruse the fmancial state-
ment and pose questions to
council members and the
auditors, Bruce Aitchson and
Terry Perkins.
The group didn't have
much in the way of com-
plaints as figures showed
Morris beginning the year
with a $27,055 deficit and
ending with a surplus of
$41,596.
The,lack of road work
accouted for most of the
surplus. Council had
originally budgeted $100,000
worth off township funds for
roads, but spent only $71,177.
Complete figures show that
total road costs, including
winter control, wages and
employee benefits and
materials and supplies were
$222,381. However $151,204 of
that figure was paid for by
provincial subsidies and
other grants.
Another boost came from
$14,996 worth of penalties
and interest charges
collected from overdue taxes
and outstanding accounts.
Ratepayers seemed
content with the statement,
but questioned council about
this year's mill rate. Since
1
the Huron County Board of
Education won't be setting
its budget until Thursday
evening the totaLmill rate is
incomplete. v.
However the township rate
shows a substantial
decrease. For commercial
and business it is set at 38.95,
down from 48.5$ in 1979, and
for residential and farm it is
33.11, down from 41.24.
County rates have increased
slightly this year with
commercial and business set
at 21.85, up from 20.02 and
farm and residential at 18.57,
up from 17.02. The separate
school board has- set' the
commercial and business
mill rate at 46.80, from 40.27,
and farm and residential is
39.78, up from 36.24.
Although the township's
budget for 1989 is not com-
plete, it it has allotted
$340,000 for 'the Martin
Bridge, $4,000 for Walton
recreation, $1,500 for other
recreation and another
$2,000 for grants. Budgeted
revenue includes $240,000 for
the bridge and $20,000 to
replace equipment.
Some of the residents,
from the Bluevale area,
were also concerned about
flooding around Centre
Sideroad near Bluevale.
They insisted that drainage
in that area is not adequate
andurged council to install
more. However the township

decided to look into the
matter.
hi other businpcq
Craig, the township rep
resentative on the Blyth
Community Centre Board,
discussed the board's budget
which was presented to the
township during the last
meeting. Council invited Mr.
Craig to discuss the board's
deficit, which it feels might
occur every year. Morris
had previously urged that
the centre become self
sufficient.
After a short discussion on
where costs could be cut in
the future and current rising
prices, Morris decided to pay
' its portion of the deficit,
which is $750. However
council urged that deficits
not become an automatic
part of the board's budget in
the future. -
Marie Taylor, Belgrave,
approached council together
with two representatives
from Hydro to discuss the
placement of three poles on
Taylor property. She ex-
plained that the three lots in
question have poles situated
in the middle of the lots in-
stead off on the line.. The
Taylors had originally
requested that the township
-move them at its expense,
however Morris felt that
since ' Ontario Hydro had
misplaced . them it should
foot the bill.
After analysing the
situation Don Eastman, a
representative from Hydro,
agreed to move two poles at
no Cost to the township or the
new lot owners, but the
township must pay for the
relocation of the street
lights.
Three tile drain loan ap-
plications were approved.
They were submitted; by
Chris and Noel Bird, Boyd
Taylor and Tom Schoon-
derwoerd.
An application for
severance, submitted by
Ronald and Gloria Kings-
bury,, was not recommended
by council. The request was
to sever 10 acres from 88
acres, on the corner of High-
way 4 and County Road 16. If
accepted the 10 acres would
house a service centre for
diesel and gasoline Vehicl .
Morris was not in favor of

Sam Pletch also applied
for land severance of a lot in

Before making its decision
council would like to see an
outline of future develop-
ment of the area together
with plans for drainage and
services.
