The police village of Ethel is still short two trustees and representatiVe from the Ministry of Intergovernmental Affairs was at the meeting to tell council what should be done about it. Council was told that, at the first meeting of the new council on December • 1, <a by-law to set a new date for an election should be passed: In the meantime a public meeting will be held with the people of Ethel to discuss what they want done about the', police village. The Post checked with Wes Ball, clerk of Howick, who, has three police villages in his township, to find out the reason behind, the. formation of police Villages. Apparently in the 1800's when - villages. •and towns were 'being - incorporated as `such, places 'which;didn't have the population to 'be incorporated, but still wanted their own autonomy were made into. police villages. At that time, these villages were more prosperous places and some- body was need to look after such things as street lights, sidealks and fire protection. Today, police villages still have the power to determine the ' issues themselves, Mr. Ball said. They may come to council if they need financial assittance for a project but they must set council's approval for it. If .the police village has the financial means to undertake a project, however, they do not need the approval of the township council to go ahead With it.
