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.

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- ed forces, fired elastic bands at the spectators as it sped along.

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.

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 raffle. Many- township residents are donating labour, materials and machinery.

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. Plans are underway for a Zurichfest on September 22.
