No word on
fate of
township's
street lights
EXETER - Usbome Township
officials are still waiting word from
Ontario Hydro regarding the con-
tinued use of street lights in the
township.
Council was advised at the July 6
meeting that a 1959 agreement
made with Ontario Hydro regarding
lights at Kirkton and Woodham
streets can be terminated at any
time provided there is six months
prior nonce from either party.
Council had requested the current
agreement be maintained 'hut has
had no reply.
It was recommended that they
taken no further action at this time.
Industrial
subdivision
at GB Airport
GRAND BEND - The Grand
Bend Airport will soon be taking
on a new look as a small-scale in-
dustrial subdivision is proposed to
be located on the property.
The airport which now has a
couple of tenants including the
Bluewater Recycling Association,
is located in Stephen Township
about 2.5 miles south of Grand
Bend.
"The first proposal was 40 lots
but they had to downsize it to meet
the Ministry of the Environment
guidelines. It's been well discussed
for quite a while," said Stephen
Township reeve Tom Tomes.
It has been downsized to six lots
but there are seven businesses
which have already indicated their
desire to move into the industrial
subdivision.
Once completed, the businesses
could employ up to 32 people but
no doubt dozens will be employed
before that doing the 'actual con-
struction.

Zurich tipping fees increase
ZURICH - Village residents will
be paying more to drop off their
garbage at the municipal ,landfill.
Zurich council approved a new tip-
ping fees bylaw at last Tuesday's
conned meeting.
As a result Zurich will be charg-
ing virtually identical upping fees
as other local municipalities. This
will include a $12 per cubic yard
waste fee for commercial garbage
packers. Residents will be charged
$5 per trunkload of garbage. Items
such as asphalt shingles will be
charged double the usual rate.
Old appliances, such as refrigera-
tors, stoves, and water tanks, and
old bed springs will be dumped at a
cost of $10 each.
Because Zurich has an agreement
to use the Hay Township landfill
site, the village's tipping fees had to
be brought in line with what Hay
charges its residents. Also, with
other municipal landfills in the area
increasing upping fee rates in an ef-
fort to stay ahead of increasing
landfill costs, no municipality
wants to find itself the cheapest in
the area - and thus attract commer-
cial dumping from outside the mu-
nicipality.
