Gerald D'Arcey set to take over
as new reeve of Howick Twp.
GORRIE - Howick meetings will be filled
Deputy Reeve Gera
D'Arcey will have to wait t
Dec. 3 to assume the reeve
chair but when he does,
says he'll be •ready to "g
back to the business off th
township".
Reeve -elect D'Arcey say
the township has bee
grappling with the questio
of fire protection ion
enough. "It's time now t
reassess the whole thing a
come up with a solution."
In an interview with thi
paper, Deputy Reev
D'Arcey was angry about th
recent decision by th
Wingham and Area Fire
Board to increase its fee to
non-member municipalities
purchasing protection from
Wingham by one and a half
times to $1500 an hour.
"If the Wingham and Area
Fire Board is going to be that
far out, maybe Howick
shouldn't have anything to
do with it," he said. "The
way I see it, Howick may end
up with its own fire hall
without Wingham."
He said with the equity
Howick would receive if it
pulls out of the Wingham and
Area Fire Board, it could
build its own hall. "We
already have the men
training," he said.
He, expressed cynicism
over the quality of the fire
equipment Howick would
receive from the fire board,
noting that in 1988 all fire
equipment will be inspected
by the province to make sure
t is up to par with safety
tandards. He suggested the
quipment Howick would
ave then would simply not
meet standards.
Reeve -elect D'Arcey also

Mr. Gibson also expressed
satisfaction with the voter
turn -out in Howick.
About 48 per cent of the
eligible voters of Howick
exercised the franchise on
Nov. 12. In 1982; the last
municipal election, voter
urn -out in 1-Iowick was
round the 40 per cent mark.
The fire issue is agreed
pon by most to be the
eason for the increase of

xplains the high number of
