New Water Rates Set for Zurich At a recent meeting of the council of the village of Zurich, the proposed new water rates, submitted by the committee of council operating the Zurich Water System, were given pre- liminary approval. These rates are subject to Ontario Munici- pal Board approval, 0 Convict Youth on Marijuana Charge The rates are based on a de- sign report submitted by the consulting firm of B. M. Ross and Associates, of Goderich, on an updated Water System. This report has been granted prelim- inary approval by the Ontario Water Resources Commission, and Ontario Municipal Board approval is anticipated in the near future. Recognizing the desire to keep the Water System under local control and ownership, the corn- mittee in charge has investigat- ed all the available schemes by which this work could be fi- nanced, and has come to the conclusion that it would be more economical to finance this project themselves through the issuing of debentures. The committee is firmly of the opinion that the report sub- mitted by B. M. Ross in early 1968 will meet the needs of the village for the present and fu- ture needs and have projected plans to include the next 20 years. The new rates will become effective November 1, 1968, with the first billing to be on Jan- uary 1, 1969. The bills will be issued bi-monthly and will al- ternate with the hydro bills.

O'Brien looked on. It was a memorable occasion for Rick, since he was the first captain of the 10:01 school patrol When it was formed back in 1961.
