The ripples from a stormy court of
revision on the Zurich drain were still
having an effect- when Zurich coun-
cillors met for their regular May ses-
sion the following night. Engineer
Don Pletch summarized the pro-
ceedings, which lasted until midnight,
by saying "a strong representation
from Hay are appealing their
assessments on the grounds they are
receiving no benenfits."
Councillor Kay McKinnoon had
received the impression that "they
feel strongly the water is getting
away, and the hell with it - they don't
care about the costs, they won't pay".
Hay -Reeve Lionel Wilder had step-
ped down from his appointment as
Hay's representative on the court of
revision at the last meeting of Hay
township in order to speak freely on
behalf of the Hay appellants.
Carl Regier would be left with a
berm of spoilage three feet deep and
24 feet wide across his property, and
wants rock chutes instead of cat-
chbasins in the drain.
Warren Regier maintains that the
ditch doesn't need cleaning on his pro-
perty, -the
ro-
perty,-the channel is already deep
enough. He also wants a bypass angl-
ing around a culvert for two or three
thousand feet as opposed to the six to
seven thousand called for in the
engineer's plan.
Henry Hendrick wants the location
of the culvert changed.
Wilder pointed out on Wednesday
night that the main beneficiaries, the
village residents at the north end of
the drain, were paying very little, and
would derive great benefit from the
clean-out and repair. Meanwhile, the
farmers at the south end who had paid
originally for the drain and were
receiving the water faced the pro-
spect of less land to farm, deeper dit-
ches to cross, and more erosion and
other damage to farmland, and were
being charged an exorbitantly high
assessment for this.
Wilder warned the engineer that he
had better make sure he "had every
i dotted and every t crossed" if the
assessments were appealed to the
drainage tribunal.
Reeve Bob Fisher told fellow coun-
cillors he sympathized with some of
the complaint's, especially those of
Carl Regier. He didn't think Henfirick
would object to bearing the cost of
relocation, as it was at his request and
for his benefit.
Further questioning of the engineer
elicited the information that any
changes to the original report would
mean' a further expenditure of up to

$5,000 for revision of the report, prin-
ting and mail -out. •
If the matter is unresolved at the
local level and goes to the drainage
tribunal, a decision would not likely
be rendered before fall.
Fisher said he remains committed
to doing something about the pro-
blem. He led off a lengthy discussion,
in which various options were ex-
amined. After stating that "we would
like' to cooperate with Hay although
they don't seem to want to cooperate
with us", Fisher promised to meet
with Wilder in the next few daysto see
if a mutually acceptable compromise
can be worked out that would settle ,
the dispute without resorting to a
hearing before the tribunal.
Pletch was instructed to make the
changes requested at the court of
revision by the Regiers and Hendrick.
McKinnon asked the engineer to meet
with members of ,Zurich council to
review assessment changes before
thefinaldraft of the revised report is
completed. .
The five tenders-subrnitted for con-
struction on. the drain were returned
unopened lo the tenderers. -
In a related matter, Fisher inform
ed council that neither the ministry of
the environment nor the village would
now consider claims for damages
when sewers backed up last fall. He
said too much time had elapsed, and
the claims should have been submit-
ted right after the event.
Huron County planner Scott
Tousaw also attended the meeting to
say the village's secondary plan was
in the final stages, and council should
now be thinking of preparing a new
zoning bylaw. He was authorized to
begin work on a draft which would in-
corporate the changes made in the •
secondary plan.
The ministry of tourism and recrea-
tion is forwarding a grant of $1,354 for
the summer playground.
The Zurich Bean Festival was ,
given permission to close off the main
street on Friday evening and Satur-
day as far as John St. to allow for the
setting up and operation of a bigger
midway this near.
Council spent 20 minutes in camera
with Percy Bedard Jr. discussing -
possible property development.
A review of dog licence fees was
deferred until the next meetng. The
auditor has the books at present, and
council wants to know the revenue
brought in by tag sales and costs,ol
employing a dog control officer before
taking further action.
