For the council of the village of Zurich, the oath of office was administered by clerk W. Douglas Armstrong, and Father A. Durand delivered words of advice to the members. He urg- ed council to work for the good of the community as a whole, despite the fact that there might be some people offended with various decisions made. "We must think of the com- munity as a large family, " Father Durand said. "We must have unity in a family, and likewise we must have unity in the community. " Father Durand told the counc- il they deserve credit for their boldness and foresight in the water and sewage projects for the village. "It is easy to see that we are all guilty of pollut- ion, " he added, "and these sit- uations must be rectified." The parish priest concluded his remarks by assuring council members that he would be happy to co-operate with them at any time, in relating particulars of various projects to members of his congregation. He added, "I hope my message gives you renewed confidence in your work." In his message to council, reeve Gordon Hess urged memb- ers to analyze what is best for the entire community, at all times. He also reminded the council that the present system of municipal government needs updating, and referred to four full-time employees of the vil- lage who are carrying out the various aspects of the work load. Each member of council spoke briefly, referring mainly to the work carried out by their com- mittee.
