Lucan's reeve and clerk were authorized to sign on behalf of the village. First, however, photocopies of the agreement will be sent to the councils of Biddulph, McGillivray and London town- ships. A joint meeting is to be arranged after all have examined the agreement. Lucan's share of costs would be 47'2 percent and Biddulph's 37,2 percent, while McGillivray and London town- ships would be assessed 7'i percent apiece. The Ausable-Bayfield Con- servation Authority had written outlining a proposal which would give the Authority control of building permits issued in an area shown on a fill-line map. Council examined blown-up aerial photographs of the Lucan portion of the watershed. Some members felt the Authority was seeking control of too large an area in the municipality. The proposal was tabled till a joint meeting could be arranged between Donald Pearson, manager, of the Authority and Lucan's council and planning board. Councillor Norman Steeper read a revised report from the London office of the Ministry of Environment concerning references to future sewage disposal systems in the village's official plan. The letter predicted that an extended lagoon system would likely be approved before the planning document was completed. It was suggested that the village plan for controlled growth, pacing services to that plan. Use of sewage lagoons was recommended rather than a secondary sewage treatment plant; consequently, references to such a plant should be deleted from the document, in the view of the ministry, (Council had wanted to leave them in, since it was felt by most councillors that town growth would be dependent on a more sophisticated sewage disposal system.) Council was informed by building inspector Bert Thomp- son that it had been necessary to post the area around the existing lagoon because of the reckless behaviour of hunters. Some of the bullets intended for migratory fowl had passed through people's yards. One had struck a tractor being driven by a farmer. Charges will be laid if there are any more incidents. A draft bylaw from Waghorn and Stevens was approved, establishing fines for in- fringements of parking regulations. A first offence will bring a fine of $5; a second, $10; a third, $20; and a fourth, $50. A special meeting of council is to be held October 17 or 18 with the village's engineer present and planning board members, It is hoped that Mr. Pearson of the Ausable-Bayfield Conservation Authority will also be able to come. A number of matters have been set over till this meeting — among them, discussion of the five-year forecast for the Ministry of Transportation and Communication, the Authority's proposal for control of building permits within the watershed, and certain matters concerning the one of the new subdivisions. Among the latter is the question of whether or not a continuous high chain link fence will be run between the park and private residences, The public works superin- tendent was authorized to arrange removal of several trees that had become threats to the safety of persons and property, and to replace a tree accidently cut down by a LIP grant worker. It was announced that the deadline for completion of Lucan's official plan had been extended from October 31 to December 31. Public meetings will be held to discuss it, A letter had been received from the Ontario Association of Property Standards Officers requesting support for con- tinuation of the Ontario Home Renewal program. Council agreed to lend this support, request increased funding and ask that application of a property maintenance bylaw be made mandatory. Lucan has received $22,000 in the form of forgivable loans for work on seven older homes. General accounts amounting to $26,226 for September were ap- proved for payment. The amount includes a bill for a culvert on Lewis Avenue. The clerk will send information to councillors about the industrial development conference, sponsored by the Ministry of Tourism and Development in Toronto November 3-4. Likely at least one will attend, No decision was made about attendance at the Ontario Good Roads Association in Toronto next February. That will be discussed again in December.
