Union Gas speaker at C of C
No gas service without government help
It is unlikely Zurich will be
serviced by a natural gas
pipeline without government
assistance.
Ian Cameron of the London
office of Union Gas was
guest speaker at the
chamber of commerce's
May meeting Thursday.
Though Cameron said it
would be misleading to guess
when Zurich would be ser-
viced by a gas piepline, he
said he was encouraged by a
federal government
program called Distribution
System Expansion Program.
(DSEP).
Under this program the
government is assisting
companies to "infill" streets
in areas now serviced by gas
pipelines and to run pipelines
to areas not serviced by gas:
Once there is a pipeline to
the village, Cameron noted
the economics of services
can afford to --pay for in-,
village pipes. The major
expenditures would be in
getting a pipeline to Zurich, -
Cameron said the program
is currently being tested in
British Columbia.
Calling natural , gas
Canada's least expensive
energy source, Cameron
explained there are vast
resources of the fuel in
Alberta and also . in the
Yukon and the Beaufort Sea.
Cameron said it is difficult
to project the costs of energy
in the future, noting that
development costs,
escalating oil costs and
added costs of controlling
acid rain and other pollution
would Influence the Costa of
electricity generated by coal
fired or nuclear stations.
Cameron pointed out that
about 50 percent of the costs
of oil and natural gas are
taxes. - Hydro electricity is
not taxed, but with the
problems of new trans:
mission lines, Cameron
suggested the government
may need tax revenue from
hydro.
Historically Cameron said,
natural gas has been
cheaper and he said he ex-
pects it to remain so.
The government's off -oil
'program also provides in-
centives for homeowners to
convert their heating system
to natural gas. Cameron
noted there was an $800
grant available for con-
versions.
In light of Arab oil cut-offs
Cameron said his company
has had tore -think its role in
themarket.
He noted that consumer
consumption of gas dropped
about 15 percept 'since 1973
due to improved insulation
and people wearing sweaters
and turning the heat down.
He noted the company also
benefits by conservation.
He said the company was
unable to buy enough gas
from the pipeline to meet
winter peak demand. As a
result gas has had to be
stored. With a lesser
demand, less storage costs
are incurred by the com-
pany.
He also said the company
would need much larger
pipes and services if it were
to meet a larger peak
demand.
Cameron said a mail
survey of Zurich homes and
a door-to-door check of
Zurich businesses conducted
in August of 1980 indicated a
favourable attitude to the
use of natural gas for home
heating and water heating.
He added that a new
service had to pay for itself.
Union Gas is a regulated
utility he said and pointed
out it is "taboo" to make
other' customers pay for a
new service.
Cameron said there was a
lot of competition between
natural gas utilities and
hydro Tor home heating
conversion. But he noted
Canada was blessed with a

number of grade 13 students

project on aging, interviewed
some of our residents and

On Thursday evening. the
members of the Zurich Men-
nonite Girl's Youth group

Receive allocation
A tile drainage allocation of
8225,000 has been received by
Stanley Township.
Clerk Mel Graham said the
township had not yet receiv-
ed a lot of applications for the
money. He noted though he
had been advising applicants
to hold back until the
township was certain about
the allocation.
The clerk said he expects to
get more applications in soon.
He noted the government
plans to review the program
later in the summer and may
allocate further funds.
At the council's May
meeting four application for
tile drainage were accepted.
The applications totalled
837,000.
Stanley is accepting ap-
plications for up to 60 percent
of the tile drainage costs up to
a maximum of $20,000.
Council also authorized a
loan of 86,600 for drainage
work.
The clerk noted that
Stanley council was continu-
ing work on three subdivi-
sions in the township.
Graham said one phase of
a subdivision at lots 21,22 and
23 of the lake road west
(LRW) concession was com-
pleted and is now covered by
a registered plan.
The completed plan covers
part of lot 23. There are 37 Lots
planned in the subdivision.
The second subdivision is
planned to divide 15 lots at lot
3 of LRW concession.
A third subdivision near
Bayfield is currently cir-
culating information on a zon-
ing,charge.
It is planned to create -25
lots on part lot one and two of
range K and part lot one and
two of range L.
Though Graham noted
council was trying to process
the subdivision plans, with the
current state of the economy
the clerk was uncertain when
any construction would begin.
Lowell Mount was ap-
pointed to the Stanley rec
committee.
The Township joined the
Huron County road
superintendents' association
at a membership cost of 840.

In the business meeting
following the speaker the.
chamber voted to hold a
playground program this
summer.
Due to a mix-up in
correspondence the chamber
was unable to apply for an
Experience '82 grant this
year. Joe Risi, reporting for
the chamber's auditors and
finance committee
estimated the costs of the
program to be about 81,640.
He noted the program
would be planned for 35
children for six weeks.
Registration fees will be set
at $15 this summer.
He also noted a 8500
program grant was
available through the village
office and that the
remainder of the costs will
be shared between the
chamber and the Zurich
Lion's Club.
The chamber hopes to get
commitments from those
interested in being dealers at
a farmers market in Zurich'
Bob Fisher said that it
would cost less than 81,000 to
provide hydro and water
services to the agricultural
society's new building and
that the farmers market
could then use the building
free of charge.
It was reported that there
where about 19 to 20 dealers
interested by Ruth Zeilman
said that most would not
commit to a longer period
than two or three weeks.
It was suggested the local
business committee get
more information on the
potential for dealers before
the chamber authorizes the
expenditure.
It was unknown when the
new building would be
constructed at the fair.
grouts& but the arena floor
could be rented for the
market as well.
It was suggested the
market be held at the same
time as an auction to im-
prove the attraction.
