HENSALL VILLAGE COUNCIL
SETS UP HOURS FOR DUMP
(By our Kansan, correspondent)
The village council in Henseli
decided to regulate dumping at
the village dump, and they will
be open the second Wednesday of
each month between the hours of
6 and 8 p.m.
Tax arrears in the village have
been reported at $1,025.50. '
at the Cemetery, not under perpet-
ual care. He said that if there
were some way of re-selling the
lots not in use nor in prospect of
being used, then probably the
new acreage at the Cemetery
would not have been needed at
all. He will investigate further
to see if sornex way cannot be
found to re-sell these plots.
Clinton Lions Club requested
$1,000 for operation expenses of
the arena during 1956-57, This
will be left with the finance com-
mittee• for consideration. With
the budget already brought down,
it will mean trying to find the
money. No one on council was
against the grant. Deputy Reeve
N. Trowartha spoke in glowing
terms of the good done by the
arena in stopping delinquency.
Mayor Miller spoke to the• mat-
ter saying it was fortunate for
Clinton that the Lions Club was
doing the job at the arena, and
that it was costing the citizens a
good deal less than similar re-
creation in other towns.

sections on two hour parking

per signs had been erected.
The by-law was given one read-
ing; a waiving motion was passed,
two more readings followed and
the by-law, was passed.
Sewerage
The health and welfare commit-
tee headed by Councillor E. 0.
Dale brought in a recommenda-
tion for a by-law whereby persons
wishing sewerage service, where
new mains had to be installed„
would do So by paying a percen-
tage of the• cost. Under the Local
Improvement Act, 85 percent is
paid by the taxpayers involved,
and 15 permit by the mufficipal-
ity.
This finding was a result of in-
vestigations concerning service to
the Lee and Tideswell houses on
Queen Street. Councillor 3, A.
Sutter remarked on the inconsis-
tency of councils in the past, with
different ideas for different peo-
ple', He mentioned the sewage
mains to serve the McAdarn hous-
es on Princess Street, which were
paid for by the town.
Councillor Irwin said, that if
the council at that time goofed,
it did not involve the present
council. Mr. Sutter maintained
that some way should be found
for all persons to be treated
equally. ,
The town solicitor will be asked
to' determine who will be involved
in this particular extension.

At The Dump
Reeve Stanley recounted diffi-
culties et the " dump. Someone
had been there and started a fire
to burn trash, and left it. The
wind caught the blaze and swept
flames into Bailey's farm yard,
"We can't have people doing this,
when the buildings are so close,"
said the reeve.
Councillor Livermore asked:
.Aren't the gates shut out there
except on some special days?
Reeve Stanley: No, they've rip-
ped the gates off the posts.
They've ripped down the signs we
bad out there, too. We're paying
a man to keep the dump clean,
and it's costing $1,300 less than it
did a few years age,. but people
won't co-operate.
Clerk J. Livermore: It's not
Only the town people. People from
all over the country dump 'refuse
there.
Parking
A lengthy by-law was' introduc-
ed by Councillor H. Bridle, chair-
man of the by-laws committee,
which summarised all of the park-
ing by-laWs of the town^up to the
present, and deleted all those not
applicable.
The by-law includes regulations
for angle parking; parallel park-
ing, no-parking, areas, and 'two
hour parking areas as well. Coun-
cillor, qrnOn .explained that the
