Or Use Town Hall? 111 Definite action will be taken this year to have the Township Office moved from its present lo- cation, it was learned last FFxiidaay night at a joint meeting of the Hay Township council and the trustees of the village of Zurich. The village trustees - have rec- ently net with the officials of the Hensall Co-operative in re- gards to the availability of the land owned by the Co-op, needed to open the street to the full width, and reported a satisfactory arrangement has been made. The big problem facing the Township Council now is whether they should build a new office or re -model the Town Hall to ac- commodate their office. Quite some time ago the village trustees had offered a suitable lot. to the township for he erection of a new office and are still offering them the same deal. 50 - 50 Basis In .addition to offering the township the property, the village is now offering to share on an even split bass the cost for the erestion of such a building, on the condition it could be used for the village office as well. In the ev- ent that Zuriich should some day incorporate, the village or the township would have to buy the other's share in the building. It vias decided by the council tiigate .,tla M:..di@ferenee in cost • ' *;' en the-` caneta-uct ion of a new bidding ding and the renovation of the Town Hall, and they would then decide on which plan would be followed. At any rate, they promised the Village Trustees that work would commence on the pro- ject lin the vary near future.
