Mitehes and Associates Ltd.,consulting en- gineens, of London, met with council to discuss sewage dis- posal. It was thought. by the reeve that Hensall could not afford sewage disposal and that the government should help small municipalities with a project such as this, Councillor Knight felt that no town should pol- lute the lakes and rivers. a resume of their report for consideration. They showed examples of work the firm had done and estimated that the feasibility study would not cost more than $1400 and might be considerably less as Hensall 'has no existing sewers to investi- gate. The feasibility study would show a plan for Hensall showing rowers. their approxi- mate sizes and estimated cost of sewers. It will also tell where the money will come from and a rough estimate of the cost. The work could be done as finances permitted. It was decided to invite the town engineer to the next coun- cil meeting. Council agreed to accept its share of the debenture of $464,- 510 for the erection of an addi- tion to South Huron Secondary School.

IIey Co WI Has Approv For Debenture Issues The biggest part of the reg- ular meeting of Hay Township council last Tuesday night was spent in discussing drains and tile drainage loans. Three loans were approved by the council and forwarded for pro- cessing to the department. Zurich Tax Rate Jumps Nine Mills; Still Higher Next Year Ratepayers in the village of Zurich will have to dig down deeper this fall to pay their 1965 taxes, due to an increase of approximately nine mills in the rate. Four mills is due to an increase in the local rate which is necessary to pay de- bentures on the new fire hall; another four mills is due to an increase in the Hay Township School Area rate, and the other mill is due to a county increase. The tax rate was set at the regular meeting of the council last Wednesday night. Public school supporters will se their residential rate jump from, 50.4 last year to 59.3 this year, and their commercial rate jump from 57,8 last year to 68.1 this year. Separate school supporters will only be in for an increase of approximately 5.3 mills in - school supporters will see their school. rate will remain the same as last year. School Rate Up The biggest disappointment for public school supporters is the four mill increase in the school rate. This increase is over and .above a special credit which was allowed through the revision of the school area. A rough estimate has been made that next year the public school rate will jump at least 14 or 15 mills, since it will take about 8 milis to cover the credit which was allowed this year, plus the paying of debentures on both Hensall and Zurich schools. This could conceivably result in a 25 -mill rate next year for public schools, plus a sizeable increase in. the high school rate. The high school rate this year has dropped J. mill over last year. However, with the proposed new halfmillion ad- dition the rate next year will increase considerably. Residential Rate A breakdown of the tax rate shows the local rate for resi- dential jumping from 15 mills to 19 mills; the county rate up from 14 to 15.3 mills; the high school rate down from 12.4 to 12.3 mills; and the pub- lic school rate up from 9 mills to 12.7 mills. The separate rate remains the same as last year, 17 mills for residential and 19 mills for commercial. Commercial Rate The commercial rate is brok- en down as follows: local rate up from 20 mills to 24 mills; county rate up from 14 to 15.3 mills; Hay School Area rate up from 10 to 14:1 mills; and the high school rate down from 13.8 to 13.7 mills. Centennial Project In other business at their meeting, council agreed to pre- pare a by-law authorizing arti- ficial ice installation in the local arena as a centennial pro- ject. However, there was one big stipulation in the argee- ment, which says "subject to the necessary total funds being Permission has been receiv- ed by Hay Council for the issu- ing of debentures in the amount of $140,000 for dial conversion at the Dashwood ex- change of the Hay Municipal Telephone System. The muni- cipality has also received per- mission to issue the debentures naw for the Hay School Area additions at Hensall and Zurich. In •other business at their meeting, the council agreed to ask weed inspector Alex Ches- ney to check Hay Township for weeds. 0 Goshen Gardeners Study Projects The fourth meeting of the Goshen Gardeners was held at the home of Mrs, Eileen.
