On Saturday best after sea- ;onnI'k' r.esther for e•nne time an electrical storm brewed on from high wind' aceomprnied by heavy rain.

At the regular bi-monthly meeting the clerk -treasurer, Mrs. L. R. Maloney, reported that the tax roll had been com- pleted except for the telephone accounts. The mill rates, which will apply to the village for 1965, are as follows: Village residential rate, 17.5 mills; village •commercial rate, 19.5 mills; county rate, 15.5 mills; public school (commer- cial, 8 mills; public school (resi- dential) 7 mills; high school (residential), 16 mills; high school (commercial), 18 mills; separate school (residential), 13 mills. These rates represent a net reduction of 1.95 mills for 1965 as compared with the preced- ing year. While the rates are not com- parable by the headings set out above for the preceding year, the high school rates are both down by two mills and could easily account for the saving. A canny reluctance to spend money if volunteer labor can be found has also come to the rescue. Councillor Oddleifson report- ed that five extra street lights had been installed, including one on the west end of the north dock at the harbor. A communication was read from the office of the minister of public works stating that a second detailed site survey had started the week of August 9 and that when the final report had been receivved and review- ed by the minister, council would be advised of the de- partment's decision as to re- pairs and extension of the har- bor. Council discussed the prob- lem of weeds on vacant prop- erties and hoped that individ- uals would assume their re- sponsibilities without action by council. Council also reviewed the school problem and noted that the minister of education had promised follow-up action after the visit of the Bayfield dele- gation last month. Word has not been received yet, but is expected soon. Catch basins and drains were under discussion. Records are not available as to location of some of the drains and resi- dents of the village who may have knowledge of them are asked to pass this information to the road superintendent J. Lindsay or councillors McFad- den and Oddleifson. Council decided that a plebis- cite will be held at the time of the fall election to decide whether the ratepayers wish to accept the principle of stag- gered targered elections. If approved this would be effective January 1, 1967, and would provide for two-year terms for the reeve and council, half of the council to be elected each year. Coun- cil also passed a by-law author- izing the payment of a license fee of five dollars per year for fuel dealers. For the remain- der of 1965 half -fee will apply and the license year will be from January 1 to December 31. Discussion centred around the point of whether council was empowered to deal with the matter as under the hawk- ers and pedlars by-law or under the transcient traders by-law, but it was found that council is entitled under the Municipal Act to deal with the fuel mer- chants in a separate by-law. 0 Fox Shot Near Doshwood;Felt e To Be R chid A fox, beleived to have been rabid, was shot Tuesday on the property of V.

Hay Sch 1 re pe Next Tiles At a special meeting of the Hay Township School Area board last Wednesday night, chairman Ian McAllister and member Elmer Rowe were, ap- pointed to visit the council of the village of Hensall, as a dele- gation, to ask for a sidewalk in front of the school property in that village. Hensall coun- cil will hold their regular meet- ing next week. The board instructed secre- tary Robert Westlake to con- tact Jack Gray, of the firm Archibald, Gray and McKay, surveyors, in regards to having the school property at Zurich urveyed. The new survey is to include the property of the Church estate, which has been expropriated by the board. Architects Blackwell, Hag- gerty aggerty and Buist are to be in- formed of the board's wishes to have concrete placed be- tween the sidewalk and south side of the Hensall school, and also between the sidewalk and the east side of the same build ing. The secretary was in- strutted to notify the firm of 4 this request. The board was of the opinion that the architect had been in-' strutted to have double doors; to the exterior of the boiler' room in the Hensall school in- cluded in the specifications on the contract. If this was not; included in the specifications. the board has now decided they I do not wish to have an exterior 1 door or doors into the boiler room, Progress Report Work is advancing on both the additions to the Hensall school and the Zurich school. At Hensall, workmen are pres- ently busy laying the cement blocks, and they hope to finish this stage of the project by the end of the week. In Zurich, the footings have now been poured and block layers are expected to arrive at the project very shortly. Completion date will probably be about March at Zurich, and December in Hensall. commodation. several rural schools will be used for a cou- ple of months to take care of the children atending school in Hensall. Three teachers, Mrs. Faye Forrester, Mrs. Haugh, and Eric Mansfield, will be teaching at these rural schools until the Hensall addition is completed. In Zurich, a temporarykin- dergarten classroom will be set up in the nursery department of the Lutheran Church, until such time as the new accommo- dation is complete. Teacher of the kindergarten class viii' be Mrs. Alma Westlake. Staff Members Other staff members at the Zurich school include principal Donald O'Brien, Mrs. Audrey Haberer, Mrs. Earl Horner.
