Works superintendent Dennis Regier asked council to establish responsibility for the cost of drain repair on Rosalie which included in- stallation of new tile from Gord Smith's to John St., replacement of the inoperative north catch basin, and Lapp. g into the municipal drain on the opposite side of the road. Regier explained that the drain on the north side of Rosalie had been cut off when sewers were installed, and Smith and Irwin Pfile were now hav- ing flooding problems in their basements. When McKinnon wanted to know why council was being asked for a decision after the fact, Regier ex- plained that at the start he had thought use of a snake would suffice, but he discovered that almost the en - 1 tire drain was plugged with roots from trees on town property. "When you try to cut them down, they're not always on town property", LaPorte interjected mischieviously. Fisher said repair should be a private responsibility to where tile is hooked into municipal drains, and McKinnon added that even when Golden Agers On September 11 the Zurich Golden Agers enjoyed a de 'cious turkey din- ner at the Town &country Bowling Lanes, with 30 members and one visitor attending.

Clerk Sharon Baker was asked to check into the legality of basement drains, responsibility when town trees cause problems, and the cost of this repair. Regier said construction on Goshen North is scheduled to begin Sept. 25. Doug Geoffrey's tender of $1,132.75 for soffits and fascia on the municipal building was accepted. It was slight- ly lower than Doug Bedard's bid of $1,160. Three tenders to supply furnace oil to the arena, the fire hall and the municipal office were opened, and the contract awarded to PetroCanada for a .3751 per litre tank car price, less a .073 discount, subject to industry price fluctuations. McKinnon reported that par- ticipants in the meetings on the land- fill site shared by Hay and Zurich have proposed to lease a further five acres, mostly bush, to comply with ministry of the environment re- quirements for a buffer zone to con- tain leachate. Rental cost will be established, and the matter of shar- ing costs will be negotiated with Hay "who are so strong on user fees" McKinnon said. Zurich's old dump site came up for discussion next. Fisher had changed his mind about selling the property, and suggested the village retain the land as a place to dump asphalt and cement from road construction, and to burn brush. Other members of council disagreed, Westlake expressed the fear the creek might be blocked, McKinnon said that if the ministry sometime ordered the site cleaned up the cost would be astronomical. O'Connor said the land was too visi- ble to use a dump and would create an eyesore, and LaPorte said Paul Cyr had offered to buy the site. LaPorte's motion to sell the proper- ty to Cyr for $53 plus legal costs was supported by the other councillors, and opposed by Fisher. Council voted to support a proposal by the Huron County Pork Producers asking for immediate emergency assistance to allow them to compete fairly until negotiations to remove subsidies in other provinces are successful. e.t • • • • • • • • 14 • • H mber 18. 1985 Super Specials Paoe 9 _• FLOUR All Purpose: unbleached, bleached Pastry unbleached bleached whole wheat breadflour 2699 (U Ib.)
