Chamber tours Bendix
The Zurich Chamber of
Commerce's tour of the
recreational branch of Bendix in
Hensall was an impressive one
according to Zurich reeve Fred
Haberer. Mr. Haberer was
making his report to the regular
meeting of the villages Chamber
of Commerce last Thursday
evening.
Mr. Haberer said the tour was
both enjoyable and informative
and suggested the Chamber try
and arrange a tour of the Home
plant as well in the near future.
Glen Thiel reported on the
progress of the sauerkraut
supper scheduled in the Zurich
arena on Wednesday, April 20.

forget about the home made pies
they are asked to supply for the
supper. Tickets are available
from Chamber members at $3.75
for adults and $2.50 for kids, up 25
cents from last year.
Treasurer Joe Risi reminded
members their dues are due for

it if they woufd get themin as soon
as possible.
Hay whittles deficit
Hay township managed to
whittle down their 1975 deficit of
$13,729 to end 1976 with a deficit of
only $3,663. Council had budgeted
for a 1976 budget deficit of $431.
The 1976 audit of the Hay
township books completed by
Durst Vodden and Bender of
Goderich shows Hay council
budgeted for $742,401 in ex-
penditures for 1976. Their actual
expenditures were slightly higher

at $773,655. These expenditures
include general government
expenditures of $49,858, budgeted
at $46,357; protection of persons
and property at $18,181, budgeted
at $16,979; transportation ser-
vices $191,322, budgeted at
$178,000; enviromnental services
$7,650, budgeted at $7,800;
health services $239; budgeted at
$325; recreation and cultural
services $4,439, budgeted at
$5,000; planning and develop-
ment $93,481, budgeted at $85,355;
region or county purposes
$109,832, budgeted at $108,354;
school board purposes $298,628,
budgeted at $294,206 and social
and family services $25, budgeted
at $25.
Although the actual 1976 ex-
penditures did exceed the
budgeted expenditures, the
township's actual revenues of
$783,721 also exceeded their
budgeted revenue of $755,699.
Revenue under general
municipal purposes was
budgeted at $352,964 whereas the
actual revenue was $375,352.
Revenue under region or county
purposes was estimated at
$108,380 in the 1976 budget butthe
actual revenue in this area was
$109 ,731.
Revenue under school board
purposes was budgeted at
$294,355 whereas the actual
revenue was $298,638.
This resulted in the actual
revenue for 1976 being $783,721,
higher than the budgeted revenue
of $755,699.
Therefore the/ accumulated
deficit of Hay township for the
year 1976 is $3,663, higher than
the budgeted deficit of $431 but a
far cry from the previous year's
deficit of $13,729.
OMB decision
deferred
After hearing evidence for two
full days, the judges in an OMB
hearing involving a proposed
development in Stanley township
have deferred their decision. It
could be from two weeks to three
months before the decision is
announced according to Stanley
clerk Mel Graham.
The hearing opened last
Monday in the Varna township
hall and continued Monday af-
ternoon, all day Tuesday and
Wednesday morning.
The hearing is to decide
whether or not the official plan of
Huron County should be amended
to allow the development of a
large subdivision at the end of
sideroad 10, Stanley township,
along the lakefront.
According to the official plan, a
strip of land along the lakeshore
is designated for seasonal
recreational purposes. The width
of this strip isnot set out in definite
yardage on the plan, but it does
not extend out the 1800 feet from
the lakeshore which is the depth
to the eastern tip of the proposed
subdivision.
Stanley township objected to
the proposed development as the
land it will be situated on is good
agricultural land and the council
felt it should not lose any more
good agricultural land to
developers.
This hearing was originally
scheduled to be held last
January, but was postponed at
the time as the developer had
failed to give proper notice of the
hearing to all neighbouring land
owners.
