Reeve Harold Knight of
'Jensen informed council Mon-
day night the finance committee
of the proposed new arena
community centre for the village
is "optimistic they can reach the
goal set for them".
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.

optimistic the extension will be
granted as they have cer-
tification from B.M. Ross and
Associates that the building does

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
