of Zu' ' council. .
Ret said unexpected
repairs to an old private drain
to stop flooding in Mrs.
Dorothy Koehler's basement
cost approximately $782. The
circumstances are unusual
because the old drain was in-
stalled privately years ago.
As part of the repairs were on
the village's road allowance
and broken tiles were replac-
ed
on Mrs. Koehler's proper-
ty, the cost will be divided,
with Zurich paying the major
share.
Rader said all bills
resulting from the equipment

Great Egg Race
Zurich Public School's most
scrambled competition of the
year, the fifth annual Great
Egg Race, got cracking at
1:00 p.m. in the school gym on
Friday April 13. Seventeen
eggmobiles in turn took off
from the starting position and
headed for the far wall, egg-
ed on by the entire staff and
student body lining both sides
of the raceway.
The competition's goal is to
transport a' hardboiled egg
supplied by the school as far
as possible in a conveyance
powered by rubber bands.
Egg crates could measure up
to but not egg -teed 80 cm.
long, 40 cm. tall and 20 cm.
wide.
The designs, ranging from
the sublime to the ridiculous,
demonstrated the ingenuity
dhd creativity of the inventive
racers. Not all entries ran
at ZPS
eggs-actly as planned,
though. Some went
backwards; or sideways, or
refused to move at all. One
eggs -ample; "'perhaps • on .a
secret test for Canada's arm-

at the spectators as it sped
along.
Winners in the distance and

Total mill rate set soon
1984 Hay budget 'up 2.2 mills
Hay township council spent
most of the time at its second
regular Aprilmeeting talking
about - budgets. Eugene
Bender presented the audited
1983 financial report for the
township, and council discuss-
ed the estimated expenditures
and revenue. for 1984.
Bender reported the
township entered 1984 in ex-
cellent financial shape. Last
year expenditures were ap-
proximately $13,000 less than
estimates, and revenue
$12,000 more than expected.
The township has no tem-
porary or long-term debt.
A six-year review shows the
education levy has almost
doubled since 1978, while
township expenditures rose in
the same period from $358,000
to $585,000 last year.
Bender said the record of
Hay Municipal Telephone
System was quite impressive,
with a net income of $349,770.
Money set aside from current
revenues is available for
capital expenditures schedul-
ed for 1985. A new digital swit-
ching system will be in effect
by next February.
A review of budget
estimates for 1984 produced a
final figure of $846,733 for
total municipal expenses.
This includes a working
capital reserve of $38,775.
Total revenue from all
sources is estimated at
$588,086, leaving $258,847 to be
raised by taxes. This
represents a 3.6 percent in-
crease, which will add 2.2
mills to this year's tax bills at
the township level. The
'township's rate for residential
and farm will be 62.87 mills,
and 73.97 for commercial and
business taxpayers.
Hay will pass a by-law set-
ting the total mill rate at their
next regular session after
' discussing the rates with the
village of Dashwood. When
the county and school taxes
are included, Hay township
ratepayers face a total in-
crease of 5.5 percent.

to ask what help the
organizers of the new ball dia-
mond could expect from Hay
township, and if money set
aside for actual work on the
diamond could be used for
purposes such as seed money
for a money -raising bingo
game.
Reeve Lionel Wilder said
the money Beauchamp refer-
red to had to be used for the
ball diamond itself, and the
county was doing its share by
acting as borrower for up to
$40,000 to build the facilities.
Beauchamp thanked council
for their explanation, which
he will convey to the rest of
his committee at their next
meeting.
The organizers of the new
ball park planta raise money
through activities such as
bingoes, a bowlathon and a

loss was included in the
estimates.
After the two men had left,
Councillor Ray . McKinnon
questioned the necessity of
having them appear at each
council meeting when
authority'has been delegated
to the rec board and two coun-
cillors to sit on the board. Bob
Fisher supported McKinnon's
stand, but Councillors Mike
O'Connor and Keith Westlake
disagreed. Clerk Sharon
Baker supported the latter's
position, saying problems had
arisen when councillors had
been unable -to attend board
meetings.
Reeve Isadore LaPorte
agreed, saying he liked to see
them there, if only for ten
minutes.
Fisher had done some
research after hearing in-
direct complaints about coun-
cil's experiment this winter in
paying overtime to salaried
employees. The 1983-84 cost
for overtime, truck rental,
gas and insurance totalled
$1,400, compared to$2,973 the
year before, $1,600 for the
1980-81 season and $2,900 the
winter before that.
A member of council is
authorized to accompany
Chamber of Commerce Fred
Haberer to Toronto when
MPP Jack Riddell has ar-
ranged a meeting with the
ministry of transportation
and communication. The
Zurich delegation want to ob-
tain large signs directing peo-
ple to the village from
Highways 4 and 21.
A recorded vote shows that
McKinnon opposed the in-
crease to 65 cents per bill for
sewage billing and collecting.
Part-time arena employees
will receive a five percent pay
increase.
The $7,839.30 rec board
surplus will be set aside in a
reserve fund for the purchase
of a new compressor needed
this year.
Ball park rental will in-
crease to $11.50 per game
without lights and $13.50 with
lights-. Rec League and Minor
Athletic rentals will increase
five percent to $237 this
season, and park area rental
will be $10.
