The Dashwood Police Village Rate was also set, with the general (special rate area) residential and farm at 23.97, general (share of Hay township general expense and Stephen township administra- tion charges) 54.37, county levy 42.83, 85.89 and' '0.39 for public elementary and secon- dary schools while the charge to separate school supporters will be 83.40 for elementary schools. Commercial and business • rates for the village will be 28.19 for the general special rate area, 63.96 as a share of Hay township general ex- penses and Stephen ad- ministration charges, 101.05 for elementary for public school supporters and 98.12 for separate school education. The secondary rate is 82.82. The total average ratepayer's cost on a $6,000 assessment will be $1558.68. Education takes the lion's share of the pie with $937.68, the county gets -$256.98 and $364.02 is collected for Hay township purposes. This represents a $110 increase on every $6,000 assessment from the 1982 rates. _ Though Hay's general rate is down .38 mills, education and county levies are up. The Huron County Board of Education's elementary rate is up 15.96 percent, the cor- responding levy for separate school support is up 13 per- cent, and secondary school costs show a 6.35 percent in- crease. The county levy is up 10.75 percent. Hay township began the year with a $29,000 surplus, in- cluding a working reserve of $14,000. Part of that has been used to purchase the adjacent. lot from Louis Schilbe: Leroy Thiel released his interest on the right of way he had been using between the two lots. and in return received a 27 by 30 foot strip from the hack of the original lot. Bayview Village ratepayers' association presi- dent Dave Thomson appeared before council to discuss street lights with council members and a represen- tative from Ontario Hydro. Thomson wanted to know what procedures to follow to move two of their street lights, install two more, and have utility charges for all nine billed by Ontario hydro through Hay township, in- stead of being billed from four sources as at present. Reeve Wilder explained that the first step would be a petition signed by 75 percent of the ratepk ers agreeing to the proposals. Ontario Hydro would then do the work, after receiving the request in writing from the township. The Association would pay all costs of moving old lights and installing new ones. Wilder could foresee no pro- blem in the township allowing the usage costs to be billed through its office, Clerk Joan Ducharme said the change could not be made until next year, as this year's assess- ment has already been made. Thomson assured her there was no rush; he wanted the information to present to the' ratepayers' association an- nual meeting on Saturday as the first step toward im- plementing the changes. Acting on a petition for drainage work from property owner Jacob Peters and road superintendent Ross Fisher for W t s lot 20, concession 8, and concession road 8, W. J. Bartlett and Associates were appointed to bring in an engineer's report. A petition from Andrew and James Dougall for an exten- sion under the railway tracks to the Dougall drainage works at lots 7 and 8 of concession 1 was discussed. Engineer Bruce Holdsworth will be ask- ed to have an on-site meeting with the Dougalls, and include this section in his report on the Aldsworth drain. Council passed a motion formalizing a verbal agree- ment to set up a perpetual care fund for the Fansville Wesleyan Methodist Cemetery, and will issue receipts to donors for income tax purposes. Stephen township sent iden- tical letters to Hay township and the Town of Exeter re questing a meeting to discuss joiningforces on waste disposal, filling one site and then moving on to the next. .Wilder has no objection to a meeting, but will remind Stephen that each new site would require a ministry of the environment assessment which could cost $20,000. Five sand cushion tenders were opened. A contract to crush, load, haul and spread 5,000 yards of gravel was awarded to lowest tenderers Gerald and Allan Reid. They offered to supply the gravel for 1.93 per cubic yard for a total cost of 09,650. The terms offered by the Exeter branch of the Clinton Community Credit Union to allow people to pay their taxes there were turned down as unacceptable. Concluding an item of business from the March 7 meeting, Eric Freiter will be charged $278.25 on his tax bill for Branch C of the Datars- Women attend CWL convention in Windsor, Meidingers celebrate 25th anniversary Congratulations to Steve and Pat Meidinger on the oc- casion of their 25th wedding anniversary.
