Water projects officer Barb Rau presented to council a request from three property owners on Vachand Avenue to use a contractor of their choice, if and when water distribution is approved for the area. Council noted that all distributions from the pipeline must meet with ap- proval from The ministry of the en- vironment and the project engineers anyway; consequently, no reasons folr objections to private contracting are necessary. Township clerk Joan Ducharme told council that present expenditures to date leave approximately $700,000 in township coffers. However, Ducharme said that this would not leave much for the financing of water distribution systems. "We've got to have some money left over to run this township. We can't spend it all on water," agreed reeve Lionel Wilder. Council estimated present finances to only be sufficient to service two or three subdivisions at a time, unless more funds become available through up -front payments for water service. Dick Rau is confident property owners will gladly pay up front if quicker connection can be guaranteed. Wilder expressed some doubts, but agreed that increased up- front payments are the answer to quicker water service. - "The more money we get up front, the more we can do." Council agreed to contact the con- sulting engineers, to find nut if any Seniors enjoy trip A bus -load of seniors from Dashwood, Exeter, Zurich and Grand Bend enjoyed a trip to Colasanti's Tropical Garden on October 27.

He went through the field on his motorbike to get the geese in flight - and was sure a sight to see. The group then travelled to Chatham for supper and returned tired but happy.

Three members from the Zurich Chamber of Commerce appeared before council to protest the poor con- dition of the Goshen road north of Zurich. "The general feeling of the chamber is that the business com- munity of Zurich is suffering because of the poor state of repair of that two and a half miles north of the village," explained Fred Haberer, who also said a decrease in traffic has been noticed over that stretch of road in the past four or five years. Council acknowledged the poor con- dition of the road, but regretted that repaving will not be forthcoming for several years. Road superintendent Ross Fisher said that estimates had placed the cost of repaving at around $200,000, which meant the township could not afford the repair until 1991 or 1992. "What you're saying is patch the holes until some time in the nineties," commented Ron Heimrich, who was told this was indeed the case. "Your concerns have not fallen on deaf ears," sympathized Wilder. Hay township has granted permis- sion to trap beavers along township roads to David Hart of Exeter. Hart is a licensed trapper, but councillor Don Weigand, who also traps in the township, questioned the advisability of adding another trapper to the pre- sent three. "I think we've got enough local trappers." The motion to grant permission passed with only one objection. Council also renewed the longstan- ding agreement with the village of Zurich to allow snow dumping on the township office's parking lot.
