W. Brokenshire, who presented the rate to township council for approval at a special meeting last week. The total com- bined rate for farm and resident- ial area is 31 mills, while commer- cial and industrial rate is set at 34 mills. Despite an increase in the county rate from 13.3 mills last year to 13.7 this year, the town- ship was able to reduce its rate, due to the decrease in the road rate. A breakdown of the mill rate shows: county rate, 13.7 mills; South Huron District High School rate, 6.9 mills; township roads, 7.3 mills; Hay Township School area, 13 mills; Stephen Town- ship school area, 11 mills; USS 9, Hay and Stanley, 13 mills; Separ- ate School Section No. 1, Stanley, 12 mills; Township rural fire pro- tection, two-fifths mill; Dashwood fire protection, 5 mills; Federa- tion of Agriculture, two-fifths mill, The general township rate for i farm and residential is 3.1 mills; commercial and industrial, 6.1 mills. For the villages of Zurich and Dashwood the rate is 15 mills. After approving the rates, the Township council set Thursday, October 15, as the date for the Court of Revision on the 1960 as- sessment role. The court will be held in the Township Hall, Zurich, at 8 p.m. 0 The newly -elected officers of the Zurich and District Chamber of Commerce were installed at the regular meeting of the chamber, held at the Dominion Hotel last Thursday night.
