The village is asking Hay Township for a stand-by rate of $1400 per year, and at the special meeting the Hay offi- cials made an offer of $900 per year. Since neither group would give in to the other, the Zurich fire department will continue to refuse calls outside the village limits. Meanwhile; Hay council have made arrangements with the Hensall, Dashwood, Exeter and Grand Bend fire departments to answer calls in the areas previ- ously served by Zurich. In an advertisement on page five of this issue of the Citizens News, ratepayers who to call in case of fire. At the same time, the Zurich council have notified the four municipalities who will be sup- plying this service to Hay that the Zurich fire department will not answer a call to their muni- cipality in the event a fire breaks out while their brigade is out in either Hay or Stanley townships. Under the mutual aid program, various fire bri- gades fill in for the 'others while they are out of town, but Zurich officials felt this would not be, a fair situation under the present circumstances. What this means is that if, for instance, Hensall fire de- partment was answering a call to a fire north of Zurich and a fire broke out in Hensall the Zurich brigade would not an- swer the call to Hensall. They have advised these municipali- ties, however, that they will assist them in the case of a real serious fire in their municipal- ity, as a second department. While Hay council have made arrangements for fire protec- tion for the areas previously served by the Zurich brigade, there has been no indication from Stanley Township officials as to what they are doing about protection for the area the vil- lage department covered there. The retainer fee that Zurich asked from Stanley was $700 per year. The new rates asked by Zur- ich were based on a deprecia- tion factor, with the two town- ships involved being asked to compensate the village by a suns of one-half of the annual depreciation. The depreciation figure amounted to $4200 per year, and so Stanley and Hay were asked to pay $2100 be- tween them. Based on the pre- vious rates paid, the Zurich council arrived at the figures of $1400 for Hay and $700 for Stanley. Stanley Township retaliated with an offer of $250 per year, for their share, and this was also rejected by the Zurich council.

Their argument with the Hay council is that a one -mill levy throughout the entire township would pay for all the retainer fees being asked of the township. They feel that the Zurich ratepayers should not have to subsidize the rural ratepayers by 10 to12 mills on their taxes. No arrangements were made for future meetings between cuss the situation, and instruc- the two municipalities to dis- tions have been issued to the Zurich fire department not to answer any calls outside the village limits. He salt Council n- s x,g 0 nersg Plan Further Work at Picnic Pa Ilion Hensall council met July 3, with Reeve Noakes presiding and councillors Knight, Jaques, Baker and Lavender present. The minutes of the last meet- ing were read by clerk Earl Campbell and were approved. Mr. Campbell reported that Levis Contracting Go. does not know when they will commence paving York Crescent. There was discussion over the catch basin at the corner of King and Brock streets. Ernie Davis reported that the patching of roads was complet- ed; cutting commenced; the dump bulldozed, and the new culvert installed. Dog owners of Hensall are liable to prosecution because there are still some dogs not licensed, and they are now two months overdue. Council decided to have Peel Construction dig out the park- ing lot behind the Town Hall and fill it with gravel. They also decided to gravel around the new picnic pavilion and to pay Gleen Koehler the balance of his contract price, less the difference in the cost of siding. They also decided to hire a carpenter to brace the pavilion, nail the siding and remove ob- jectionable appearing doors. Councillor Knight outlined the plans for the Centennial celebration to be held July 14 and 15, in Hensall, and council agreed to advance the commit- tee a loan of $1000, to cover expenses. Discussion took place regard- ing the keeping of game birds and it was decided to ignore Tuckersmith council's letter re- garding drain outlet. Clerk Campbell reported a cheque re- ceived from the Liquor Control Board; the approval of the pav- ing on York Crescent; Hensall's assessment by the county of $1,211,625; and an increase in assistance to municipalities for education. Building permits were issued to George Shiels to put siding on his house; Wayne Smith to build a garage, and General Coach for renovating. It was decided to comply with regulations and set the rate of pay at $1.25 an hour for men and $1.20 for tractor. It was further decided to insure the new picnic pavilion with P. L. McNaughton for $5000, at. $3.40 per $100 or three years. Discussion took place reard- ing sidewalks and the respon- sibility for breaking sidewalks by putting drain and having heavy equipment pass ever them. Council decided to ad- vertise in the local papers for tenders for the building •-f a double sidewalk on the east side of Wellington Stree- from King Street to Queen .S°reet. about 264 feet. Bilis to the tune of eee7e. plus the hydro and the ieese of the new pavilion inserenee. were ordered paid on re `.ion of Knight and Jaques. Next meeting of eou:::il is scheduled for Tuesday.
