Dog catcher, cable TV comlna
Zurich is going to get a dog catcher
and cable TV- in that order.
Council passed a resolution at their
regular April meeting authorizing
Dave Groot to act as dog control of-
ficer for the village under the same
terms as his contract with Hensall. He
a will be paid a monthly retainer of $40,
$8 per dog picked up, and mileage of
32 cents per kilometer.
Groot will patrol one night weekly,
some time every other Saturday, and
answer emergency calls.
The fine for allowing a dog to stray
has been raised to $35 plus
veterinarian clinic charges if the dog
is taken there.

to Mitchell, Seaforth, Blyth, Brussels
and Hensel, attended the session to
discuss details of service to Zurich,
Ward Sr. assured councWors that
although the CRTC has not- yet
brought down a decision on the come
pany's application, "we were the on-
ly applicant, and there's not a chance
in a million we won't get the license".
The Wards said that as soon as a
bylaw was passed authorizing erec-
tion and maintenance of equipment,
and an agreement was signed with
the Zurich hydro electric and water
committee, construction could begin.
The bylaw was given third reading,
and the Wards will meet with PUC
manager Charles Eckel to work out
an agreement to be signed by the
committee chairman.
Service is expected to begin in
September, with a month's free trial
to all interested. Hook-up charge will
be $35, and customers will pay a basic
monthly fee of $17. Some older sets
will require converters, and these
may be rented for an additional $1.50
monthly. Besides providing The
Sports Network, Much Music and
Nashville North as part of the
package, Ward thinks CITY TV and
the Life channel may also be
available by fall.
Those wishing First Choice will pay
an additional $9.95.
A resolution was passed limiting
grants to the Zurich minor athletic
association and the Zurich and area
figure skating club to Zurich residents
only.
Reeve Bob Fisher opened discus-
sion on the Zurich drain. Councillor
McKinnon said most people he had
talked to had agreed that if anything
more than a clean-out was under-
taken, the drain should be deepened
and culverts corrected at the same
time.
"There's no sense in locking the
door and leavingthe window open,"
McKinnon remarked, adding the
thought work should be done proper-
ly on the south end of the drain first,
and attention given later to the north
end as the situation was eased.
Fisher said that if no engineer was
needed, council could afford to deepen
the drain to the village limits this
year, and put in grass swales at the
upper end another year.
Fisher will take council's views to
• a -meeting with Hay township reeve
Lionel Wilder.
An appeal for funds for the Huron
Country Playhouse by board chair-
man Dave -Sheppard and board vice
chairman Dave Bannister will be con-
sidered at the next finance meeting.
