Council agreed that the:exist- ing fire hall would •have to be replaced and that new fire equip- inent would. be needed if the vil- lage fire department-was to con- tinue to serve the neighboring townships. Members of council feel that a decision must be made on fire protection in the very near Suture and as a result called a meeting of the reeves of Ashfield, Huron, Kincardine and Kinloss Townships for Thursday evening of last week, The Reeves of all,municipal- ities, as well as other council members, were 'present to hear the proposal of Ripley CounCil. The feeling of the Ripley coun- cil is that their present truck and fire equipment, With,a few additions, is suffficient to serve the village itself,. but that if fire service is tobe continued to the rural municipalitiei, a, new anal( and fire hall will be neces- sary. Consideration might also have to be given by the rural municipalities 'to a tanker truck. A recent survey by a fire Ser- vices 'officer from the Ontario Fire Marshall's Office recommend- ed that if Ripley is, to continue service to the surrounding rural municipalities, a new truck and , hall be put on the agenda. Estim- ated cost' was about $65,000, $45,000 for the truck ,,mnper and tank and about $20,000 for' the Ashfield Township. Council'met on January 8th ata4.30 p.m. , Reeve Girvin. Reed, Deputy-Reeve Warren Zinn, COuncillors Finlay MacDonald', John Austin and Allan Gibson were present and subscrib- ed to the, Declaration of Office. Minutes of the final meeting for 1972 were read and approved. Warren Zinn and Allan Gibson were appointed to represent Ash- field on the LucknOw 'Arena Board. Finlay. MacDonald: and John Austin were appointed to the Ashfield Recteation Committee. Council decided to hold two meetings each month in 1973 and set the salaries as follows: - Reeve $750; Deputy-Reeve $675; Councillors $600; Clerk Treasurer $4,500. Balaiies for building. .As the village cannot afford the, equipment• by itself, it will' ask the neighboring townships to con- tribute to the fire department on an assessment basis. 4` The townships presently pay $100 per hour for fire calls. As already mentioned , the village will replace the existing fire hall. The village hopes-to use $1,200 'of a. $2,000 Employment .Incentive Grant' this winter to remove' the existing fire hail. Council intends to use the rest of the grant money Or work on the pump house and storage tank.
