Smith Mrs. Joyce Black Manager Accountant Residents of the police village of Dashwood learned at the annual ratepayers meeting Monday night that a water system is coming closer to reality. Trustee chairman George Tieman said he was assured Friday by Huron-Middlesex MPP Jack Riddell that engineering work on the project would begin this year. Tieman said village of­ ficials met with the Minister of Environment George Kerr in September and asked for a speedup of the project. Kerr said the estimated cost of $1,100,000 was outrageous for a village with a population of 400.% Tieman said he un­ derstands the province is prepared to proceed with a smaller system that would not include a water tower at about half the original cost. After the engineering work is completed with estimated costs a public meeting will be held to allow all Dash­ wood residents to consider the proposal. The trustee chairman said the engineering could take as long as one year with a possible construction start sometime in 1979. In other discussion businessman J. M. Tieman asked where the monies from business tax went. When told it goes to either Stephen or Hay township depending on location, Tieman said, “they should subsidize the village and have these monies used for snow removal. I have spent $50 this winter in removing snow from the front of my store. We don’t get any return for our business tax." During 1977 the village appointed Irvin Rader as building inspector and instituted their own building bylaw. Trustee Tieman com­ mented, “We didn’t object to the townships controlling building permits but we never knew what was going on. I’m sure they are happy. Irvin has issued more per­ mits than ever before.” Asked by Ninia Kraft if permits had to be obtained from the townships, Tieman replied, “No, Irvin can issue a permit right on the spot. READY TO GO — Winter < ctivities of all kinds were part of Sunday's Fun Day at Parkhill sponsored by the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority. Above, Becky and Joanne McAlpine are ready to enjoy a snowmobile ride. T-A photo The trustees commended the village firemen and the Friedsburg Days committee for providing an addition to the fire hall and purchase of a tanker truck. George Tieman added, “we are lucky to have these people. The hall addition and tanker only cost the village $1,000 and a building per­ mit." Asked by Rheinhold Miller if the village was required to pay Zurich for assisting at a recent fire, trustee Harold Schroeder replied,“no, that’s part of mutual aid we have with Zurich, Crediton and Exeter." Schroeder reported that the volunteer firemen do not receive any pay for fighting fires within the village. The rates for out-of-town calls are $5.50 per hour for chief Emil Becker, $5 for assistant chief Don Bender and $4.50 per hour for each firemen. The village does provide a dinner for the volunteer firemen each year to com­ pensate for their free ser­ vices within village limits. The financial report showed a surplus for 1977 of $3,851.52. Trustee Tieman explained this was due to only $66 spent on roads and sidewalks. This work is being h eld up until the water system is completed. Similar to all public municipal meetings, the subject of dog control was brought up by Syd Baker. George Tieman answered “This is a problem. Stephen is now advertising for a dog catcher since the London Humane Society stopped their services. Hay township has never had a dog catcher, so all the animal has to do to be safe is run over to the Hay side.” ADAMS i Heating 4t Cooling | <——— GUARD YOUR FAMILYS HEALTH AND 6U0GE.T G A Heating Systems of All Types INSTALLED.
