ThieI raises question again
about utilities commission
Four routine by-laws were
passed by the council of the
village of Zurich at their first
meeting of the new year on Wed-
nesday afternoon.
By-law number one allows the
reeve and clerk -treasurer to sign
for borrowing 'up to $50,000
from the Bank of Montreal in
Zurich during the fiscal year,
as needed.
The second by-law passed
approved the appointment of
Donnelly and Murphy of Goder-
ich as solicitors for the munic-
ipality.
Authorization to execute a sub-
division agreement with R.J.T.
Holdings Ltd. was the third by-
law approved at the meeting.
According to reeve Fred Haberer
the sub -division agreement with
the Kitchener firm was to be
signed on Friday afternoon,
January 9, and this would mean
that action could commence in
building new homes in the south-
east section of the village.
The final by-law to be passed
authorized the reeve and clerk -
treasurer along with the chairman
and secretary of the hydro and
water system to sign a similar
sub -division agreement with
R.J.T. Holdings Ltd., regarding'
services to the area.
Considerable discussion took
place regarding the renting of
the old village office in Zurich,
and council finally agreed that
the building could be rented out
"as is" on a temporary basis,
depending on future plans of the
fire area board. It has been indic-
ated on several occasions that the
board may wish to build an
addition to the present fire hall
to accommodate a tank truck.
The matter of renting the office
was left to reeve Fred Haberer.
During a discussion on the
minutes of the hydro and water
committee of council, chairman
of the finance committee, Ray
McKinnon questioned whether
the rate of 314 for each bill coll-
ected for the sewage service was
justified. "This seems like a

fairly high rate to charge for the
collection service," he comment-
ed.
Leroy Thiel, chairman of the
hydro and water committee,
said the rate was set by man-
ager Charles Eckel, using the
actual costs involved as a guide-
line. Zurich residents will now
be issued one bill, covering
hydro, water and sewage serv-
ices.
At this point in the meeting
Mr. Thiel suggested that the
hydro and water system would
be better served by a Public
Utilities Commission than by a
committee of council. "It gets
very complicated when you are
trying to wear two hats," he add-
ed. "Every time a dispute
arises between the village
and the hydro -water system a
person doesn 't know where they
should stand."
No action was taken on Mr.
Thiel 's suggestion, one which
has been proposed on numerous
occasions over the past few
years.

GLUE WATER REST HOME'S
No doubt everyone who likes
the outdoors and winter sports
are enjoying the heavy snowfall
and wintry weather that we have
had during the past week.
As usual, this time of the
year is very quiet with little
activity except that which is
created within the Some. Many
of the residents spend a great
deal of time watching snow rem-
oval equipment at work around
the Honie and are fascinated by
the activities across the way at
the Maple Woods Apartments for
senior citizens. Most of the out-
side construction there has been
completed and the inside work
is progressing well. For anyone
who might be interested, infor-
mation on this apartment complex
as well as application forms may
be obtained at the office of the
Home without obligation.
Last Monday evening films
were enjoyed followed by refresh-
ments.
The friends of Mr. George
Hepburn will be glad to hear that
he has returned from the hospital
much improved.
Friday evening bingo was play-
ed followed by coffee.
The sympathy of residents and
staff is extended to the family
of the late Miss Ethel Shaw.
Rev. Bruce Pierce of Crediton
conducted the Sunday evening
chapel service.
