Reeve Ivan Hearn and clerk-treasurer Ed Melanson signed four photocopied documents approving a cost­ sharing agreement for the Lucan complex. McGillivray and London township councils had already signed the photocopies and Bid- dulph council was expected to sign the agreement later Tuesday night. The joint use and cost­ sharing agreement will leave Lucan with 47.5 per­ cent of the bill, Biddulph will contribute 37.5 percent, and 7.5 percent will be paid by both London and McGillivray Townships. The agreement will cover capital expenditures, operation and maintenance. Councillor Norm Steeper suggested council adopt an emergency ban on Main Street parking during heavy snow storms, as London has done this winter. The recommendation originated with the town planning board. Lucan’s main street is cut to a lane or a lane and a half when drivers park there during heavy storms, he said. Reeve Hearn questioned the need for a town by-law street heavy Women of the Community are invited to the February meeting of the Lucan Women’s Institute next Wednesday, February 15, at 7:30 in the Masonic Hall.

Her daughter, Mrs. Glen Haskett, granddaughter Carol Haskett, Kitchener and Doug Haskett, Lucan, hosted the event. Unfor­ tunately, through illness, Glen was unable to act as host. Mrs. Jack Radcliffe in­ vited guests to sign the birth­ day book and Mrs. Jack Ryan and Mrs. Pat Crunican were in charge of the tea room. Mrs. Tom Patrick and Mrs. Spencer McLeod presided at the lovely tea table which was highlighted by a spring flowers arrange- restricting main parking during snowstorms because of the rarity of such severe weather conditions. “This isn’t an ordinary winter. I think we’ve done well under the storm con­ ditions this year,” said Hearn. Councillor Harry Wraith proposed an emergency parking ban on one side of the street but opposed a by­ law allowing a total ban on parking. The planning board’s proposal was also questioned by councillor Gary McFalls. “It’s a problem, but it’s a problem that hasn’t hap­ pened for the past few years and may not occur for another few years,” he said. Council did not pass a motion regarding main street parking during snow storms. Council approved a $75 grant to support St. John’s Ambulance and the money will be used for providing supplies and equipment, according to a letter requesting the grant. An agreement for 1978 garbage pickup was con­ cluded with C. H. Lewis Ltd., f Lucan.

The library rental fee had been $75 per month since 1974 and received a $15 boost last year.
