'Always room for improvement' says Tay Reeve Tinney Incumbent reeve of Tay Township Bruce Tinney says_ that municipal government can always find ways of better serving the people. He says that he, if re-elected, will con- tinue to try to look after the interests of all Tay residents, no matter where a person lives, with equal interest and fairness. Tinney's election platform appears below: "'T would like the opportunity to help create an even more efficient and well run municipal operation. What I am saying and meaning here is that as I have always stressed, council and staff are there to serve the taxpayer, to protect their interests, to be helpful in every way possible in order to make their business with the municipality be an efficient, prompt and satisfying experience. "This is not to be overly critical of council or staff but it is to say that there is always room for improvement and that we should always be mindful of that fact. One must also realize that it is not always possible to give the answers or _per- mission that is being requested from council or staff. Certainly not in as short a time as some feel to be sufficient.' "T would like now to mention some of what my involvement with the affairs of Tay Township have been. I was first a member of the committee of ad- justment in 1967 and later was chairman of that committee until being elected to council in 1969. I have served as councillor, deputy-reeve and for the past three years as reeve. I am in good health and am willing to serve for at least another term. I am 54 years of age and with the help of my wife and family have operated a business in Tay since 1957 (28 years). My son, Mike, runs the business and my wife, Pat, and daughter, Debbie, look after the bookkeeping and I help when and where I can." "Projects we have undertaken during my term as reeve and also projects I would like to see continued and/or completed are: "We have done the necessary testing for water, negotiating for property for a pump house, applying for 85 percent grant money in order to do a major upgrading of the Gilwood Bay water system in 1986. The other 15 percent is to be provided by the developer and _ the residents of Gilwood Bay." "'We have finally after many years of frustration bought and surveyed the required property for a drainage ditch on the Widdes side road and will complete this project in 1985 if time and weather permit." "We have made considerable improv- ements to the 9th Concession"' "We participated in the installing of sewers on Robin's Point and then rebuilt the road." "We reconstructed the big hill on Ogden's Road and will pave in 1986."' "We had a tank truck at No. 1 Fire Hall rebuilt to a pumper tanker unit."' "We have built two new bays on the road garage and recovered and insulated the entire building and installed a new and much more efficient heating system."
