Three
cottages at Obroken
Three cottages at Oakwood
Park were broken into during the
past week and hundreds of
dollars worth -of antiques stolen.
About $300 dollars in valuables
were taken from the cottage of
Mrs. Sears, while an estimate has
not been made as yet on the loss
from the breakin at a cottage
owned by Lucille Hayman. Both
ladies reside in London.
Among the stolen loot were
picture frames, dishes, silver-
ware, etc.
The two breakins were in-
vestigated by Exeter° OPP
Constable Frank Giffin after they
were reported on Wednesday.
On Saturday, Charles A. Gunn,
who also owns a cottage at Oak-
wood, reported it had been
broken into and some liquor

Ontario's program to help
smaller and medium-sized com-
munities revitalize their down-
town cores was outlined last
week by Housing Minister John
Rhodes to members of the
Provincial/Municipal Liaison
committee meeting in Toronto.
Although the plan sounds
good at first, it will not do much
to help Zurich pay for any
revitalization planned so far
for its core area.
As described by Rhodes, the
main objectives of the Ontario
Downtown Revitalization Pro-
gram are:
-To revitalize - core areas in
smaller and medium-sized Ont-
ario municipalities with a
maximum population of
125,000;
-To stabilize or improve the
property and business tax base
within these downtown areas;
-To make more effective use
of existing downtown muni-
cipal infrastructure;
-To re-establish a viable role
for downtown areas;
-To sustain the social, cultur-
al and economic facilities and
opportunities within downtown
areas;
-To finance specific projects
which in turn will 'stimulate
implementation of the remaind-
er of the municipality's official
plan . ,
The province will provide
assistance in the form of parti-
ally recoverable loans to the
municipality up to a maximum
of two-thirds of the approved
cost of a downtown revitali-
zation project, Rhodes said.
"Such a project would be
expected to generate additional
revenue to the municipality in
the form of rents and/or
taxes. In addition, the project
must act as a seeding element
or a spur to other downtown
improvements, " he said.
The Zurich businessmen's
association has authorized Nick
Hill of Goderich to prepare a
study on how best to revitalize
the core area of the village at
a minimum cost. Unfortunately,
this program does not seem to
be included in activities eligible
for aid under the announced
program.
To qualify for assistance, a
municipality must:
-Have up to a maximum pop -

stolen. Damage to the cottage
was listed at $20.
There were also three breakins
at Huron Park on Thursday.
Two were at buildings owned
by Dunline, About $4 in coins was
taken from one, while nothing
was reported missing at the
other.
The home of Cheryl Smith, 116
St. Lawrence Ave., was also
entered and $20 in cash stolen.
Constable Bob Whiteford was
in charge of the investigation and
two juveniles have been charged
with all three Huron Park of-
fences.
In another theft, a citizen band
radio base antenna was stolen
from a truck owned by Lloyd
Riley, Huron Park.
There were four accidents
to Zurich
ulation of 125,000 persons as
of the date of formal applica-
tion to the Ministry of Housing;
-Have an approved official
plan with policies concerning
the downtown, and also must
have a property maintenance
and occupancy standards by-
law applicable to commercial
and residential buildings;
-Show evidence of strong
municipal ., council and public
support for revitalizing, and
the project must be capable of
being completed within five
years of provincial commitment;
-Demonstrate that it has the
financial and administrative re-
sources to carry out the project.
Rhodes said eligible costs
would include, the acquisition
and/or clearance of land for a
revitalization project including
relocation costs of residential
tenants if any; the acquisition
and rehabilitation of an exist-
ing key anchor building; and the
installation of a public open
or covered mail, transitway or
semi -mall.
Improvement, relocation and
additions to ancillary services
such as water sewers and/or
roads where such improve-
ments will result in revitaliza-
tion, will also be eligible.
Municipal administrative
costs relating tothe implemen-
tation of the project can be in-
cludged in the total approved
costs, but will be limited.
According to Mr. Hill, who is
busy preparing his ideas on
how to co-ordinate and improve
Zurich's core, this program is
more to help pay for sewers,
water and revitalization on a
much larger scale than Zurich
is presently contemplating.
