Drain reports read at
Hay council session
Drains and severances took up a'
great deal of the time at the all -day
second regular February meeting of
Hay township council.
Rosaire Bedard, Ken Gascho, Don
Geiger and Mrs. Violet Pergel were
in attendance to hear the repair and
improvement report on the Pergel
drain.
Engineer Bruce Holdsworth said a
prime goal of the repair was to
counter erosion, with emphasis on
restoration of the channel and protec-
tion of the banks and bends. Two drop
structures (or grade transitions) will
be added to slow down the water
velocity. Such erosion control
measures are eligible for 80 percent
provincial grants on the materials.
MTC has asked that the section of
drain along the south side of Highway
84 be moved off the right-of-way.
An'existing 72 -inch diamter culvert
which has washed out will' be
reinstalled as twin culverts, exten-
ding each piece by two metres.
A total of $27,270 is to be assessed
against affected lands and roads.

Second regular February meeting o
Hay council. Assessment figures
haven't yet been prepared to deter
mine Hay's share of the $25,747.97
total.
' Reeve Lionel Wilder suggested that
the percentage be set at the beginn-
ing of each council term, as it only
varies by one or two percent year by
year. This would save the clerk and
assistant the task of going through the
entire assessment roll each year.
Referring to an increase from
- liNfroh 35;o Krthis year for rammer—
O'Connor to provide a 24 -hour -a -day
dispatching service, Wilder termed
the charge "costly but reasonable".
. . . e . . .
Councillors questioned the propos-
ed increase in wages for members of
the Dashwood and area fire depart-
ment. The sum of 810,530 in the 1987
budget forecast would compensate
the 17 -member department for prac-
tices and fighting an estimated 12
fires during the year.
The 17 -man figure was also ques-
tioned. Wilder said he thought the
agreement has stipulated a max-
imum of 16, and 13 had been deemed
acceptable.
Council decided to sit down with
Stephen township representatives,
and come up with a budget "accep-
table to all in these times of
restraint".
Bill Regier spoke up to say he did
not object to the zoning change if all
went according to plan, and Becker's
f house was built next to his mother's,
with the proposed shop on the east
- side of the property.,
A resolution to the planning depart-
ment asking approval for the zoing
change and severance will specify
that the house be set back 37 feet from
the lot line, and the shop be located
eight feet in from the rear boundary
and eight feet from the eastern side

tion to an inquiry from Leonard Ter y

Munkittrick replied that if a pro-

problem amending policies to permit
it. She advised council to encourage

ty level. Hay could support the pro-
