New logo Some time ago, the Zurich Agricultural Society sponsored a con- test in the newspaper to acquire a logo which could be used for the Society's identification purposes. To our disap- Council to proceed with Zurich drain repair Zurich councillors decided at their regular July meeting to proceed with the controversial clean-out and repair of the Zurich drain: Don Pletch of Huron -Middlesex Engineering will be asked to revise the report to include changes requested by some Hay township property owners at a stor- my court of revision on the proposed project. The earth berm. which was Karl Regier's main concern will be hauled away, the bypass Warren Regier requested will he allowed. and the culvert location on the henry Hendrick farm will be changed. Reeve Bob Fisher and councillors Ken Fenwick and Paul Morrison had met with a delegation from Hay township headed by Reeve Lionel Wilder on June 17 (0 discuss the drain. rs. Other Hay property owners were Warren Regier, Henry Hendriks, Karl Regier and Herb Neeb. The engineer was also present. An offer was made to pay the net assessments from Herb Neeb's pro- perty south to Warren Kegier. The Hay residents said the matter would be taken to the drainage tribunal anyway. Wilder suggested the addition of a pumping station, and the engineer was asked to include this in the report as an alternative plan. "We agreed to pay the net costs to . the farmers, and we have met all they asked except the depth and the width of the drain." Fisher remarked. Fisher presented fellow councillors (in the absence of Ken Fenwick) with a number of options. He read a letter froth Pletch estimating the cost of a pumping station at approximately $65,000 when the price tags for catch basins, a wet well, engineering fees and the pump and controls were add- ed up. The annual operating costs would be about $3,000 in dry years like the current one, and the station would only pump at low water level. The additional cost of a minor clean-out estimated at $115,000 or a major job costing $171,000 would escalate the total to an unacceptably high figure. The possibility of lowering the culverts to the original profile and spending $3-$4,000 every three or four years for clean-out was also examin- ed and discarded. Paul. Morrison said he felt the village should go ahead with their -original plan, noting the people in Zurich wanted the clean-out, an "even if this goes to the tribunal, at least we can say we tried." Ray McKinnon commented that • "we are in over our heads now, we might as well keep going." Herb Turkheim was also in favour of proceeding. Pletch will be instructed to 'revise and mail out the pertinent sections of - the drain report which have been amended. Another public meeting will be scheduled, and the date set for another court of revision on the Zurich drain. ., ..;iii`�.r�s�"; :. ia�',` ',' ems'%. ,' g s>2 ^' ....;. ?s i :. :`;a;s.;"2';..;�.,aw� N';a. •�i=.. ., 5.>.. j,'� {.... ... -.

Public school supporters will see an increase of 4.86 percent, and taxes for separate school supporters will go up 5.98 percent. The 1987 mill rate for residential and farm public school supporters (with the 1986 rate in brackets) is 289.50 (276.06), and the commercial and business rate is 340.60 (324.80). The rate for separate supporters is slightly higher with the additional levy for separate secondary schools this year. Residential and farm ratepayers will pay 292.85 mills (776.32) and commercial and business will pay 344.53 (325.110). The general municipal budget ac- counts for less than one mill of the total increase. It has risen from $66,615 in 1986 to $68,584 this year, and represents 85.18 mills, up from 84.28 last year. The 1987 county levy is $32,751 ($30,558) and the rest of the money goes for education. Public school sup- porters will pay $89,048 and separate school supporters will provide $43,579. Council Briefsr Changes that would make the auditorium of the Zurich Community Centre more attractive to prospective renters were discussed at the July meeting of Zurich council. Councillor Paul Morrison suggested possible removal of the stage to provide more floor area. Reeve Bob Fisher said the space could also be used to accom- modate a permanent bar. All agreed air conditioning would contribute to more summer rentals. Arena manager Brad Clausius will be asked to get estimates from a cou- ple of local contractors. Insurance with ROMA was renew- ed. The premium has decreased from $11,759 in 1986 to $11,221 this year. The subdivision agreement with Mario Sirotec was renewed for another year after some discussion. Sirotec will be asked• to meet with council to discuss his future develop- ment plans. A recommendation arising from a hydro and water utility meeting that a new photocopier be purchased and the costs distributed among the hydro department, the water department and the village with each paying one- third was accepted. Clerk Maureen Regier was asked to try out two machines, and the final selection will be made jointly by the clerk, the PUC manager and the property committee chairman. Doug Geoffrey's tender of $3,659 to close in the arena ends was accepted. Councillor Ray McKinnon com- mended works superintendent Dennis Regier for the good job done on the curb at the O'Connor Funeral Horne, and for the way he had handled a number of complaints.
