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 ZURICH A CHAMPS HIGH PINFALL — Bowling winners from the Zurich Men's league was the Dashwood Hotel team.

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.

The Township joined the Huron County road superintendents' association at a membership cost of 840. daradMinaellaneleilellseessisepor Tasty -Mu Bakery & Cheese House We have expanded and remodelled our store in Zurich to serve you better. 1 Now Available!

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. PERCY BEDARD Carpenter *Custom.
