Three weeks ago the council authorized the construction of the new facility. At that time the cost was tentatively estimated at $500,000 to $600,000 of which $125,000 to $150,000 must be raised through public subscription. Reeve Knight added, "The ball is in their hands now and I believe they will do an excellent job." Council discussed recom- mending to the committee a public meeting be held to get the ratepayers of the village and surrounding communities in- formed as to the progress of the arena plans and involved in them but all felt before such a meeting. could be of any benefit there are many facts which must first be The Light Touch By JACK LAVENDER Teenager we know has a back problem.

Ross and Associates that the building does meet the building code requirements for wind, The village of Hensel] may be eligible for additional road subsidy due to the cost of snow removal this winter according to clerk Bob Heil. At council's regular meeting Monday night clerk Heil in- formed council the cost of snow removal for the entire year of 1976 was $4500. Since January 1 of this year the village has already spent $2900, Guidelines outlined by the Ministry of Transportation and Communications say a municipality will be eligible for assistance if their costs for snow removal for the first four months of this year exceed the costs of the highests costs in the previous four years plus twenty percent. The pumping of basements by the fire department in the village was brought up by councillor Bev Bonthron who wondered on what basis this pumping was done. Reeve Knight explained the fire department as such pumps basements at the descretion of the fire chief and only if the fire chief feels the rising water is a hazard. For instance if the water level was approaching the height of an electrical box or an oil tank was in danger of floating and spilling oil. Clerk Heil also informed the village he had been informed by Ontario Housing the municipality can now pursue rent-geared-to-income housing for seniors if they feel the need exists. In the past this need was decided through surveys by the provincial government, not the municipality. Hensall had one such survey done by the province but out of 600 applications distributed in the area only 16 were completed and returned. As a result the province decided there was not a need for such housing. Reeve Knight said in light of the previous survey results and due to the fact council has several large projects under way at the present time, the rent-geared-to- income housing possibilities should not be pursued at the present time. Council rejected a resolution from Nanticoke requesting the province be asked to use funds from the Provincial lottery to set up a continuing fund for snow removal costs, "I would hate to put my future needs in the hands of something as chancy as a lottery" com- mented Reeve Knight. "I would sooner see the taxes paid." A grant of $25 was authorized to be paid to the Huron Plowmans Association to aid them in their preparations for the Inter- national Plowing Match, The clerk of the village was authorized by council to request information from the Humane Society in London concerning their rates to patrol the village and also their availability, Council decided to continue with their Ontario Home Renewal (ORP), The village has been actively involved with the program for two years now and the clerk was authorized to apply for another $2'9,000 for the program this year. The ORP guide for home standards was also adopted once again . by council. A special meeting was called for March 28 at 7:30 p.m. to enable council to put together a budget for their fire agreement with Hay and Tuckersmith Livestock sales Demand at the Hensall Livestock Sales was active last Thursday and prices were steady, Supply consisted mainly of heifers and steers.
