year.
Two gravel tenders were
received at last Tuesday's
meeting: Mr. Kerr's for
$36,225 and George Radford
Construction of Blyth for
$36,720, a difference of $495.
The tender was awarded to
Radford.
Reeve Neil Vincent said
council was not dissatisfied
with the quality of work done
by the Kerr firm last year,
but said he felt council's
authority was sidestepped
when Mr. Kerr opened a
wayside pit in the southern
end of the township before
council approved it.
Last May, Road Superin-
tendent Ralph Campbell was
instructed 'by then Reeve
Simon Hallahan to sign Mr.
Kerr's application for a
wayside pit license and for-
ward it to the Ministry of
Natural Resources, Mr.
Campbell did both those
things and the application
was sent back to council for
its stamp of approval. But
Mr. Kerr was hauling gravel
from the pit before council
made a motion to accept the
application and while Mr.
Campbell was away at road
school.
"The crusher was in (the
pit) before anybody knew
about the permit," said Mr.
Vincent.
Council members had no
idea they would have to
apply for a wayside pit
license, he said, and there
was' a "last-minute hassle"
to push the application
through.
Allowing gravel to be
extracted from a wayside pit
angered some township pit
owners who had gone to the
expense of having their pits
licensed under the provincial
government's Pits and
Quarries Act, said the reeve.
Wayside pits are opened for
a specified amount of time
for a particular job.
This year, to counteract
the problem, the contractor
must state immediately
whether or not he intends to
draw gravel from a wayside
pit, so council can deal with
the application, if there is
one, at its next meeting.
In other business, council
set its tax penalty for
overdue taxes for 1983 and
those in arrears. The amount
of one and one-quarter per
cent per mo th or 15 per cent
per 3rear ill be charged,
down fro 18 per cent last
year.
East W wanosh also will
apply for 95;000 in sup-
plementary subsidy this
year from the Ministry of
Transportation and Com-
munications for a new
grader.
With regret, council ac-
cepted the resignation of
Irvine Gethke, the town-
ship's building inspector.
The position will be ad-
vertised in the newspaper.
Council granted $200 to the
Belgrave, Blyth and
Brussels School Fair Board.
The township mileage rate
went to 19 cents per
kilometre from 16 cents.
The next meeting of East
Wawanosh council is
scheduled for April 5 at the
township shed.

Morris to pay less per yard
for township gravel in '83
Morris Township council
accepted the tender of
George Radford Con-
struction of Blyth for
crushed gravel for township
roads at last Monday's meet-
ing. Radford's price was
$2.25 per cubic yard, down 10
cents from $2.35 in 1982.
The Harry Donnegan firm
of Listowel was tied with
Radford for low tender, but
council decided to go with
the local contractor. Two
other bids were received, the
highest being $2.75 per cubic
yard.
In other business, Morris
council changed its interest
on taxes in arrears to 15 per
cent per year, down from 18
per cent last year. The new
rate is effective April" 1.
Henry Rouw of the
Brussels sewage plant at-
tended the meeting to get
council's permission to
spread sewage on William
King's property. Mr. Rouw
assured council the sewage
would be spread in the
middle of thefield and it will
not effect any nearby drains.
Also, it will be worked into
the soil as soon as it is spread
on.
Council also gave approval
for sewage from the Blyth
plant to be spread on the
-farm of Bruce Bromley, Lot
7, Con. 8.
Sheila Richards and Joan
Chandler, both board
members at the Blyth Centre
for the Arts attended to
request a grant from council.
The ladies informed
members that over 43,000
people attended the theatre
last year and 70 per cent of
those people were local.
Council granted the centre
$100.
Morris council also made a
grant of $100 to the Belgrave-
Blyth and Brussels School
Fair Board.
Bill Dietrich and Bill Kelly
of the engineering firm W.
Kelly and Associates of
Kitchener attended the
meeting to offer that firm's
services to the township.
Charlie Thomas submitted
a petition for an extension to
the Dockett Drain which
council accepted. Dawson
and Johnston of Stratford
were engaged to prepare an
engineer's report. The same
firm also was engaged to
engineer an extension to the
Ellison Drain.
Morris council gave ap-
proval to the hiring of a
summer student to work on
the township's secondary
plan. The student will work
in conjunction with the
county planning department
and the cost to Morris will be
$200. The student will be
shared with the township of
Hullett.
Council also approved the
purchase of a postage metre
on a one-year trial basis at
the cost of $23 per month.
The next meeting of
Morris council is scheduled
for April 5 at 10 a.m. at the
township shed.
CounciI. moves to improve
relations at Hawick Centre
GORRIE -- The Howick
Community Centre Board
will follow the example set
by the Belmore Community
Centre Board and request
the minor hockey, figure
skating and curling
organizations using the ice
surface at the centre to
appoint a representative to
the centre's board.
Councillors Gerald
D'Arcey and Gordon Kaster
told council at its March
session that problems have
arisen at the centre because
of "poor communications".
Most of the problems, they
said, concern the use of the
ice and the upstairs meeting
hall. Some organizations are
not aware of the centre's
booking procedure and at
times unauthorized persons
have been allowed access to
the upstairs hall.
"They're little things that
don't mean a lot, but they
shouldn't be happening,"
Coun. Kaster said. "We've
got it (conimunity centre)
running in the black now and
we want to keep it that way."
Coun. D'Arcey agreed. He
said it is unfortunate now
that Junior D playoff hockey
games will probably have to
be played in Clifford, but the
Howick ice was booked a
year ago.
"Yes, and if the hockey
team had prebooked and
then didn't need the ice,
would they pay the bill?"
said Deputy Reeve Jack
Stafford who presided for the
meeting in the absence of
Reeve William Newton who
is on holidays.
"Well, that's just it,"
replied Coun. D'Arcey. "We
can't have free ice time —
not if we're going to make it
paY."
At the session council
approved the appointment of
over 80 persons to various
boards and positions in the
municipality.
Notified by ,the Ontario
Ministry] 4 bor that both
the Hor'lvick and Belmore
arenas must be safety in-
spected, council will invite
proposals from three
engineering firms regarding
the cost of such a report.
The Ministry of Labor
requires all arenas in the
province to be inspected
every five years.
Regarding another town-
ship building, council de-
cided to request a report and
an estimate of costs of main-
tenance work to be done on
the Fordwich Community
Hall.
Township Clerk Wesley
Ball said the hall board had
informed him there were a
number of things to be done
such as repairs to walls and
painting and had requested
township assistance.
Mr. Ball said he had in-
formed the board that he
knew of no government
grants for that kind of work
at the present. "There was
no one big thing and they
figured it would cost about
$1,200."
"It's no big deal, but I
think they should bring a
proposal to council so we
have some idea what they
are going to spend," Coun.
D'Arcey said.
Dump Report
A hydrogeologic report
submitted to the township by
Ian D. Wilson Associates
Ltd. states ,the township
landfill site is "considered
secure" at this time and
further hydrogeologic
reports are not warranted.
The township approved the
report and instructed the
clerk to request the Ministry
of the Environment to
release the township from
the conditions set down a few
years ago.
Clerk Wesley Ball said the
township has now complied
with the conditions, namely
the registration of a
provincial certificate in the
land registry office and the
submission of a plan of
development and operation.
Mr. Ball added that
Howick and a _number of
other rural municipalities
are continuing to oppose new
guidelines from the ministry
concerning the separation of
garbage and burning
'procedures.
"If we are forced to follow
these new directives it would
cut the operational period of
our landfill site by half, if not
more," Mr. Ball said. "It
would greatly increase the
cost of operations and we
would have to extend the size
of the site."
The clerk informed council
the cost of the Ian D. Wilson
Associates Ltd. report on the
landfill site will be financed
by special provincial grants
with the exception of about
$200. Originally, he said, the
ministry offered 50 per cent
financing up to a maximum
of $4,000 but this was later
increased to 100 per cent
financing up to a maximum
of $5,000.
In other matters council:
Will inform the Ministry of
Transportation and Com-
munications that the
township has no objection to
gravel being taken from an
open wayside pit at lot 40,
con. C by Cox Construction of
Guelph for road construction
on Highways and 23;
Instructed the clerk to
inform Reeve Leona Arm-
strong of Grey Township that
Howick Township has no
work of a clerical nature for
students of a government-
sponsored summer em-
ployment program; Reeve
Arnstrong had contacted
Howick to see if the township
could share services in such
a program;
Approved payment of
general accounts of
$43,146.58, . including road
accounts of $11,130.95'.
LAKELET 4-H
The third meeting of the
Ontario Heritage 4-H was
held Feb. 28 at the home of
Mrs. D. Hallman at 7 p.m.
The meeting opened with the
pledge and the roll call,
"Does your family keep any
food customs from its an-
cestors' country or origin?"
was answered. Borscht ( beet
soup), breaded pork chops in
cherry sauce and vegetable -
macaroni casserole were
made and sampled. Work
and reading in the books
were completed and the
meeting closed with the 4-H
motto.
There is a four -word
formula for success that
applies equally well to or-
ganizations or individuals —
make yourself more useful.
