WHEREAS the drifting of the roads by snow during the winter season
seriously impedes public travel, and it being a source of considerable
expense to the Municipality to keep such roads open therefor;

the construction and maintenance of wire fences on the lines bordering
on the public highways of the Municipality, in order that snow may be
prevented from drifting thereon;

the Township of Pickering:
1. THAT the Council of this Iunicipality may, from the general funds

borders or abuts a Township road;
2. Every person to whom such bonus is paid, or to whom the same shall
hereafter be paid, shall enter into a covenant with the Corporation
to maintain the wire fence bonused on the line where constructed and
placed, and not to change it for any other than a wire fence having
the approval of the Council of this Municipality; and every such
person shall also be required to covenant with the Corporation not
to allow bushes, hedges or trees to grow up alongside of or near
amy suc4 fence, or to place any other obstruction alongside of or
near such fence, whereby the wind may be prevented or impeded in
carrying the snow through such wire fence and off the roadway.
3• No such bonus shall be paid or allowed until after the location
and style and kind of a fence proposed to be erected, has received
the approval of the Council, nor until the fence shall have been
erected and completed, inspected and approved of by a member of the
Council, or by some official appointed for the purpose by the Council.
4. Owners may erect such ornamental fences abutting Township roads as
Council shall agree to by resolution.
5. If the owner of such road fence has removed a rail or other fence
upon which a bonus has never been paid, cleaned up all rubbish and
agrees that he will keep such fence bottom clear of rubbish, the
Council may pay said Seventy-Five Cents per rod bonus, even if no
wire fence is constructed.
