Lucan council is investigating the possibility of prohibiting overnight parking on all streets in the village, The matter was brought up by councillor Norm Steeper. Road foreman Bert Thompson said his staff did run into many problems especially during snow plowing and street cleaning operations.' Councillor Larry Hotson suggested the main problems were encountered on the village's side streets. Harry Wraith thought the critical problems occurred in the winter time with snow removal and suggested a 2 a.m. to 6 a.m. ban on street parking. The matter will be discussed further by council members. Council took steps at Monday's regular meeting to put a tighter control on building permit ap- plications. A resolution was passed that, "No building permits be granted for application on any land presently zoned agriculture in the village of Lucan unless such applications have the written approval of council." The village's newly worded dog control bylaw was given final reading and is now in effect, Owners of dogs in the village of Lucan will be required to pur- chase a tag for their animals by the first day of March in each year. The fee for each male or female will be $7 and $10 for each ad- ditional animal to a maximum of two. For each neutered dog the original tag fee will be $5 and $10 for each additional animal. The dog kennel licence will be $25. In reviewing, the dog control bylaw, Reeve Ivan Hearn stressed that the important clause in the new law is that a dog must be on a leash when it is on public property and away from the premises of its owner. The final agreement on the sale of a small parcel of land to the County of Middlesex was ap- proved. The village will receive $261 for the land located at part of Lot 31, Concession 3 in Biddulph township.

Two village residents Gary Mair and Mrs. Ron King com- plained to council about the costs of water for their swimming pools. Mrs. King said she wasn't really complaining about the $10 fee for topping pools during the year. This is one subject on which I don't mind being repetitious and that's to remind one and all to be sure to proudly wear a poppy and to make every effort to attend the Remembrance Service being held in youf community. The Comrades being remembered gave their very life that we may continue to enjoy a way of life that is second to none in the world, surely as citizens we can take a few moments from our busy schedule and bow our heads in a prayer of thanksgiving to these gallant men and women who thought enough of our great country and our freedoms they were ready to die for them. At the Going Down of the Sun and in the Morning We Will Remember Them. Lucan members of the Royal Canadian Legion are reminded bodies are required for the distribution of Poppies on Saturday, November 8.

The average charge in Lucan for filling pools is $7.90 while the topping charge is $10. Council has received notification of an LIP grant in the amount of $9,180 to clean the Benn drain through the park area, month: If members of other Legions would care to attend at the Granton service with us you would be more than welcome. Following the services there will be a Remembrance Banquet at the Legion at 7,00 p.m., at the conclusion of the banquet en- tertainment will be supplied in the Legion Lounge.
