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.

(Photo by Levesque) 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.
