Baker asked if the village
could be held responsible if
children swinging from the
pavilion's rafters were
hurt.
Thiel suggested a notice be
sent out in the next sent
hydro billing asking Zurich
parents to keep a closer eye
on their children while they
are playing at the park.
Bob Fisher .told council
that the owner of a Main
Street house said to be full of
bats, had been in touch with
him and was attempting to
get the problems straighten-
ed out.
The well behind the house
had been filled-in and Fisher
said he was told the Ministry
of the environment had
giv its permission for a
small unt . of cyanide to
be used kill the bats.
Zurich residents had
reported seeing up to 200
bats coming out of the unoc-
cupied house.
Laporte asked under what
authority the council had
acted in setting September
first as the clean-up
deadline.
Baker said, "We just did
it".
The reeve said the owner
was co-operating with the
council in trying to get the
problem straightened out.
In other business:
Council was prepared to
pass .a bylaw establishing
high fees for pedlars and
hawkers within the village.
Most councillors agreed the
village was not being over -
bothered and the bylaw
would be very difficult to en-
force.
Signs leading into the
village should be repainted.
Haberer said the sighs were
a joint project of the Lions
Club and the Chamber of
Commerce and they should
be notified of the signs' con-
dition.
Council decided not to join
a plan whereby other area
municipalities would take
out newspaper space to
advertise municipal
resolutions such as Environ-
ment Week (Oct. 7 to 11) or
World Food Day (Oct. 17) .
Fisher said advertising of
some events should be paid
for at the county level. Thiel
said he didn't feel the adver-
tising should be done
automatically without con-
sultation with the individual
municipalities.
The clerk reported there
were five vacancies in the
Spruce Villa geared -to -
income housing. This is one
of the highest vacancy rates
the apartments have had.
She added later the vacan-

OMB detail
annexation
procedures
The Ontario Municipal
Board has outlined some of
the procedures that are to be
followed persuant to their
approval of Hensall's an-
nexation of 200 acres from
Hay Township.
The board approved the
annexation following a
hearing earlier this summer
and the village land size will
nearly double with an ad-
ditional 100 acres of in-
dustrial land on the north
limits and 100 of residential
to the south.
The order comes into ef-
fect on January 1, 1982, when
the two municipalities will
adjust assets and liabilities
in relation to the annexed
land.
All taxes and arrears up to
the end of 1961 will belong to
Hay and those outstanding
after the new year will be
collected by Hensall and
turned over to the township
within six months from the
date of collection.
The board further orders
that the assessment of the
lands to be annexed, and
upon which the 1982 taxes
will be levied, be determined
by the assessment com-
missioner on the basis of
similar properties in Hensall
in the vicinity of the lands
being annexed.
The board makes no order
as to costs.
