Page 4 Since we are an unorganized community our road maintenance is . looked after by the Hugel & S.W. Badgerow Local Roads Board. It was formed in 1965 when it replaced the old Statute Labour Board system. Edmund Johnson has been the secretaryâ€"treasurer since the beginning and three trustees elected every year help run the board with the Ministry of Transportation in North Bay. The system could soon change if we are amalgamated into the proposed new Municipality of West Nipissing. In 1987 the Hugel Township Lakeside Property Owner‘s Association was incorporated. The lakeside property owners had many concerns about the lake and have been active in monitoring the phosphorous levels, clarity and lake level. A pickerel (walleye) raising pond is located at the Halvorsen Farm and for several years we â€" have been introducing fingerlings into the lake.
