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.
