Page 9 Hay signs fire ..pact Hay council has signed the Exeter Area Fire Board's draft proposal despite many misgivings about the doc}unent's benefits to Hay township. Councillor Murray Keys, who at- tended the September 30 meeting of the fire board, pointed out that the changes Hay had requested be made to the agreement proposal were not approved. HE noted -that since the other townships did not object, Hay is unable to use its vote to chan6e the situation. "We're outnumbered here on these things we objected. to," said Keys, "We really don't have any say in this any more, so to speak." The township's main objection to the proposed agreement deals with the suggestion that the townships under the Exeter borad's jursidiction will pay a percentage of the cost of fire service according to their assess- ment. However, a minimum of five percent will apply even if the ' township has a lower assessment, as . in the case of -Hay, which is current- ly assessed at less than four percent. Inyreeve Lionel Wilder's opinion, Hay township is already paying too much for fire protection because it is obliged to contribute to the Hensall and Zurich fire boards as well as Ex - eters. Nevertheless, council agreed to sign the proposal, if for no other reason than they are powerless to change the agreement to better suit the needs of Hay. Council opened tenders submitted to the township for the cleaning of the Forcier drain. Hodgins and Hayter's bid of $6,223 to clean and level the 2,460 metre drain was bettered by the $3,490 bid from C.E. Reid Construc- tion. A bylaw was passed to allow an amendment to the previous bylaw which detailed the cost of cleaning the Pergel drain. The actual $26,467.68 cost of the drain project amounted to less than the original estimate of $27,270. The same was true of the Jacobs drain project which turned in an actual cost of $22,475.53 as oppos- ed to the estimate of $26,970. Both bylaws were passed to allow Hay to benefit from the savings -on the projects. The reading of the report on the West Branch of the Black Creek drain repair project will be heard at the Township Hall this Thursday. Wilder told council that complaints about the projected cost of the repair are already coming to the township's attention. " While the estimate of over $140,000 Women's Institute meet The October meeting of the Women's Institute was attended by 16 members and four guests. -Kay Hay and Eileen Consitt were appointed delegates to the area convention in St. Marys October 14 and 15. We were privileged to have Claus Breede project director for the Huron County Pioneer Museum in Goderich speak to us. He gave a very in teresting history of the museum, what they are doing at the present and what rwe will be able to see in the future. The construction of the new building is progressing well and hopefully the first floor will be open to the public by April 1988. Eventual- ly there will be 30,000 square feet of exhibits and will have facilities for the handicapped. ST.

"There's got to be . something wrong," challenged Wilder. . Road Superintendent Ross Fisher told council tt is time to petition the • ministry of transportation and com- municaitons for the usual interim sub- sidy for the township's road expen- ditures to September 30, 1987. This year's costs have amounted to $336,549.25 and Hay will proceed with the petition. Fisher also informedcouncil that the broken Champion road grader is now repaired and functional. He estimated the price tag on the repairs at around $8,000 and admitted this, was higher than the original estimate because of the decision to replace the bearings. It'was a bad break, but the thing's got 10,000 hours on it," said Wilder. Bruce Potter of B.M. Ross and Associates Consulting Engineers ad- vised council to apply now to borrow money from the Ontario Municipal'. Board to support the cost of the Highway 21 water main and its distribution systems. With a cost of $100,000 for the trunk itself and approximately $250,000 re- quired for distribution, Potter told council that the funding would be re- quired unless the township was prepared to adjust the mill rate. "Not with an election coming up next year," joked Wilder, who ex- plained that the borrowing capacity of the township is 20 percent of their assessment, or $800,000, and the township would have to be careful how much it borrowedio make sure funds_were still available to operate • the township. Potter also presented to council draft copies of bylaws for water distribution into the subdivisions which were not yet ready for approval because a clause will have to be add- ed to each one. The clause will allow the township to adjust the assessment of oddly - shaped lots which defy attempts at . assessment based on frontage. Triangular lots will be able to be assessed fairly by area. Council briefs Water projects officer Barb Rau presented to council the petition fair water distribution into the St. Joseph's Shores subdivision. Only two objections to the petition were record- ed, which meant that 81 percent of the residents are in favor of distribution. •• * s * s Dick Rau, water projects officer. suggested to council they inquire of B.M. Ross and Associates about the possibility of installing meters at each of the connections into the subdivi- sions. He explained that this was not to actually meter the water's cost, but instead to facilitate easier checks for leaks in the distribution system.
