Bob Fisher, the councillor with responsibility for streets, sidewalks and drains, proposed spending $35,264 on maintenance, an increase of four percent over the previous year. The construction budget total of $94,414 in- cludes $54,870 for work onGoshen St. Fisher said Ross Jackson, an employee of the provincial highways ministry, recommends that cement gutters and curbs be installed from north of the post office to the village limits, the road resurfaced, catch basins repaired and sidewalks com- pleted. However, Fisher said he was against any work on Goshen unless the province approves a 50 percent subsidy. Fisher said by 1986 Zurich will have the cash reserves to go ahead with the project if no subsidy is obtained this year. Councillor Ray McKinnon said Euchre party at Varna By Mary Chessell Mrs. Alden Crich and Mervyn Hayter were the high prize winners at the Orange Lodge euchre party on Friday evening. Low prizes were won by Mrs. Ernie Brown and Alden Crich. Frank Thompson had the lucky chair. Draw winners were Doris Wilson, Clayton Ellis, Anna Wilson, Mabel McClinchey, Marg McClymont and Myrtle Taylor. There were eight tables. Don and Lorraine Taylor returned home from a Florida vacation on Thursday. There are a great many blue jays in the village since the deep snow ar- rived. Several people are supplying them with food, and enjoying their bright plummage. 1 saw a pair of rgbins near the mill several- weeks ago. They probably have a good food supply there. Golden Agers revenue figures for the Zurichrecrea- tion, parks aid community centre board budget had been estimated con- servatively, and expenses liberally. The maximum projected deficit for 1985 would be $19,150.75, and could well be lower, McKinnon said. McKinnon said the summer playground program will not be fund- ed '.his year, due to complaints last year. It will be operated on a pay-as- vou-go basis. "In other words, Zurich doesn't want to subsidize a program that's not appreciated," La Porte commented. The village's share of the 1985 7urich and area fire board budget of 17,778 will be $4,089 or 23 percent. This has decreased from a previous levy of 30 percent, as the assessment base has been changed. The annual standby fee for the volunteer firemen has been raised from $75 to $80. The hourly rate for firefighting has risen from $9 to $9.25. The fire chief's annual stipend re- mains unchanged at $500. Works superintendent Dennis Regier's efforts in keeping ahead of the snowfall were highly'commended. "Soon after most major storms you could push a baby carriage down the street", McKinnon said. Reeve.lsidore La Porte agreed that Regier was "doing a fabulous job." Clerk Sharon Baker presented the statement of council remuneration for 1984. This included payment for all regular, special and committee meetings, out-of-town meetings and conferences and seminars plus mileage. La Porte received $2,601.65. Fisher $2,091.90, McKinnon $1,008, Michael O'Connor $1,865.16 and Keith Westlake ;1,759.41. Baker said no member of council had missed very many meetings. • During a discussion about encourg- ing new housing in the village, La Porte said he had found out a-25 ' r - drops playground funding cent grant was available for expan- ding sewer and water service, and wondered if the village should install the services, then recoup their invest- ment through a levy as the lots were sold. McKinnon said he was in favour of that as a developer, but against it as a councillor. He said responsibility for providing the services should be left with the developer. The industrial and retail develop - anent committee hopes to attract a real estate agent to permanent residence in Zurich. Developer John Sirotec said in a letter he will meet with the committee in April when the weather is better, and he hopes for new growth in 1986. A letter was received from former environment minister Andy Brandt saying revisions providing flexibility for small communities were being considered in drafting a forthcoming blueprint on waste disposal sites. He said his department was making every effort to address the concerns of small municipalities, but also wants to ensure that basic standards are applied. WINNING SPEAKERS - Monty Plumb, youth education chairman of the Hensall branch of the Roya Canadian Legion, presented trophies to winners of the district speaking contest. Placing first, second and third in the seniors division were Heather Westlake, Zurich; Wayne Scotchmer, Hensall and Darren Rau, Ecole Ste. Marie.
