Watch for future an- nouncements. 0 CORRECTION PLEASE In our last issue we had a re- port of a new switch for the Zur- ich street lighting system costing close to $2,000. This was the price given to our office; however; in a conversation with Kenneth La- snpinan, region manager for the Ontario Hydro, we were informed that this was a bad mistake. The cost of the switdh is only $58.75, plus labour, and the estimated price of $2,000 was for some other hydro .project in Zurich which had been contemplated by council. We apologize to the citizens of this community for the mistake.
