although some try it anyway. Some open their cottages. Some go fishing. Some boating. For

aSked if council would consider
donating $100., toward the
Fireworks display on May 18, and
he stated that the cost of the
display has risen from $410. last

Iet the firemen know their
decision.
l)avid Kyle and Gary
Alexander appeared again
regarding the drainage problem
on their properties. Mr. Kyle
asked if council would consider
paying for the drain from the
Werlinde drain to his back fence.
After lengthy discussion and
many suggestions, he was told
that council eould not do this
and referred to By-Law No.
9,18E7,
Councillor Knight said that it
would be simple for council to
pay approximately $100. but
this would set a precedent that
council could net continue. Kyle
stated that the town should have
investigated more thoroughly
the Verlinde drain which is
costing the town $700 or $800
and will service nobody and
reminded council that it would
also be installing drains for any.
new development. Reeve Jaques
informed him that he could not
say anything about new
development as we don't know
yet,
Harry Kiungel, proprietor of
the Queensway Nursing Home
approached council about the
condition of the sidewalk and
boulevard at the corner of
Nelson and Queen Sts, and
suggested perhaps council would
consider installing new sidewalks
and replacing the present
boulevard with gravel.
Conditions do not make for easy
access for the visitors at the
Home, Be was told that E. R.
Davis would be sent over to
patch the sidewalk and the.
Street committee would see the
location and make a decision
later.
Eric Mansfield and Anthony
Charette appeared on behalf of
the Parks board 'and presented
the budget for 1970. Accepting
the budget would mean an
increase of six mills over last
year and this would only bring
conditions at the Arena to a
little better standard than at
present. Council was told that
clue to the fact the Arena has
been let go for the past 20 years,
its state is bad. Council promised
to consider the budget and let
them know its decision later.
Town foreman E. ft. Davis
gave his monthly report and
informed council that he had
cleaned the boulevards and
taken three loads of refuse to
the dump, had filled with top
soil 14 holes left from tree
stumps, had cleaned King St.
west of the tracks on the South
side of the street, had delivered
cold mix for patching the
streets, has patched some of the
streets and removed the snow
fences. The dump has been
bulldozed and Mr. Davis asked
the press to advise the public of
the times it will be open. The
Hensall dump, will be open on
Saturdays from 8 am. until 1
p.m. and on Mondays from 3
pm until 8 p,m., for the
summer months only.
Council was told that Mr.
Davis had 5 loads of gravel
dumped on Oxford St. West but
that more is needed. Many
complaints were forthcoming
regarding the conditions of the
streets where the Union Gas
company had installed their
mains. Davis was asked to
inform the construction
company responsible and have it
repair the damage.
Councillor Knight was asked
fon• 'any -reports., her harff arid
proceeded with his report on the
firemen's committee. He had
attended one of the Firemen's
meetings and they are in
agreement with signing the
Mutual Fire agreement, He had
been informed that Exeter
would be Hensall's first back up
and Brucefield its second. The
fire chief had told Knight that
the Queensway Nurisng Home is
intending to have a hook-up to
the Fire Alarm system and that
the Bell Telephone company had
agreed. Council will have a
written agreement with Mr.
Harry Klungel regarding the
responsibilities involved. The'
Fire chief had suggested that
council accept the Fire
Freventioil code and adopt Same.
The .new' fire truck is well tinder
way and some of the committee
as, well as the fire chief will visit
the factory to see that their
specifications are being met.
Councillor Knight being
chairman cif the Planning and
Industrial. Development
Committee had many
suggestions for council and told
the members that a committee
cannot act on its own but would
have to have the sanction of
council.
Many items were brought to
the council but as all are in the
planning stage, the chairman
asked that details would not be
printed at this time, This
reporter has complied with Mr.
Knight's wishes as many things
could have a bearing on future
development in Hensall. Arising
from Knight's report, council
decided to buy the option of the
James Taylor property on Queen
St. at a cost of $3,500. The
