Clerk Ed Melanson was instructed to contact a person who had indicated a few weeks ago that he was interested in the position. The new dog catcher if hired will receive $10 for each dog he apprehends or the same amount for being responsible for a charge being laid for an animal running at large. At the March council meeting, village employees Doug Johnston and Bev Hirtzel were named dog catchers on a temporary basis in addition to their regular duties. A delegation at Tuesday night’s meeting headed by Bob Maslen asked council fo take further action to alleviate the dog problem. A month ago when a petition signed by about 50 residents was received works foreman and law enforcement officer Bert Thompson visited owners of several dogs who were reported to be running at large. In this regard Maslen said' to council, “there has been quite an improvement in our subdivision since Bert talked to some of the people and they knew Doug and Bev were on patrol.” The delegation was told that a dog does not illllllllltllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll' | ADAMS I I Heating & Cooling 1 !• Heating Systems! | of All Types = = INSTALLED, MODERNIZED = = and MAINTAINED = | • General Sheet | !

During the discussion, Maslen continued, “I think you have a good bylaw here, there don’t appear to be any loopholes in it, but it has to be enforced” The bylaw provides for fines of $15 for the first of fence, $25 for the second and $50 for a third charge in addition to costs which in clude the costs of the local dog catcher and a $50 charge by the London Humane Society for housing the animals until claimed or disposed of. Plan Spring Cleanup Plans are being made for the annual spring cleanup. Council committee members Larry Hotson and Garry McFalls will be making arrangements with C.H. Lewis Ltd. for the annual pickup of garbage. It is expected to be carried out the week after the May 24 weekend. Town employees will again assist with some of the heavier articles. Get tax requisitions Although the 1978 tax rate has not been set, the levy for the County of Middlesex should remain the same as last year. A recent requisition from Middlesex calls for payment of $50,253 from Lucan this year. This is a decrease of $386. Of this amount 40 percent United Mr. Peter Snell, Ailsa Craig led worship Sunday at Lucan United Church while Mr. Brown conducted Communion services on the Ailsa Craig charge. He based his remarks on Jesus’ words, “I am come that ye might have life and have it more abundantly.” Only Jesus could make a claim like that, said Mr. Snell, for He is God’s Son, our Saviour and Teacher. We can know a lot about Jesus, but in order to have this abundant life, we must get to know Jesus in a per sonal, first hand way. Abundant life involves making the best use of the gifts we have. It also requires that we make use of God's grace to overcome our handicaps so that we can live victoriously. Mr. Snell is paid to the county by June 30 and the balance by December 20. The same situation does not exist when it comes to the tax money request from the Middlesex Board of Education. The education requisition is for $150,377 compared to $140,374 a year ago. Buy Backhoe Council authorized the purchase of a new backhoe from CG Farm Supply of Zurich for a price of $18,350 including the trade in of the village’s present machine. The Zurich area Case dealership provided the lowest of four invited bids. Authorize Road Work The J.P. McIntyre engineering firm was given authorization to proceed immediately with the reconstruction of Albert street. Bob Teasdale of the London firm told council, “I will get the plans to the Ontario Ministry of Tran sportation and Com munication tomorrow and God willing we can advertise next week and hopefully \have the tenders ready to be opened at your May 2 meeting.” Teasdale said he thought the original cost estimate of $60,000 was still applicable for the some 700 feet of road reconstruction and work could be started by early June. church concluded his sermon with the question, “Are you just living, or are you living abundantly?” The choir, under the direction of organist Helen Brown sang a modern an them, Allelu, appropriate to the Easter season. Lovely floral arrangements were from the funerals of the late Mrs. Eva Dawson, and the late Mr. Charles Atkinson. Next Sunday is Easter Communion and Con firmation service when new communicants, and some joining the church on reaffirmation of faith, and by transfer will be received. After the service, everyone is invited to stay for tea and a social hour to welcome these new members and all others who have joined the Church during the past eight months.
