The 100 dogs in the village
of Hensall may have to
confine outings .to their own
yards in the future.
Hensall council members
have decided to approach a
local resident about taking
on the duties of dog catcher
in the village.
A recent census found
there are 100 dogs in the
village, 97 of which are
licensed.
Clerk Betty Oke said one of
the dog owners of an
unlicensed dog had already
been notified they must buy
a license and council
recommended if the owner
refused to purchase his
license after a second
reminder, then-he should be
subject to the full penalty
under the town bylaw.
The penalty would be a $50
fine.
Although council members
have been receiving a
number of complaints about
dogs running loose in the
village, the animals stayed
off the streets for at least one
day recently.
Clerk Betty Oke reported
she hired a dog catcher
through the Canada Man
power office but after
driving around the village
for a day in his pickup truck,
he reported he didn’t see a
dog and resigned.
The clerk suggested the
next village dog catcher
might be paid the $15 penalty
for each dog picked up and
returned to the owner, rather
than an hourly salary.
“Getting the penalty is a
bit of an incentive,” the clerk
said.
Councillor Bpv Bonthron
suggested that catching “a
dog a day, would keep the
complainers away.”
Council won’t take further
action on the dog problem
until they’ve approached the
applicant for the dog cat
cher’s position.
In other business, council
voted to authorize the village
road superintendent to
initiate a petition for
drainage works to begin
work on the Richmond Street
South storm sewer works.
If the village initiates the
petition under a municipal
drain application, they
receive additional govern
ment subsidies. Council
expects to be responsible for
about $65,000 of the costs of
the storm sewers.
In a six month review of
the council’s 1978 budget,
clerk Betty Oke reported
council was right on budget.
Council members ap
proved grants of $10 to the
Huron County Historical
Society and $100 to the Huron
Country Playhouse in Grand
Bend.
Council also approved a
$45 registration fee for clerk
Betty Oke to attend the 1978
municipal finance seminar
sponsored by the Advisory
Committee of Municipal
Treasurers, to be held in
London in September.
Council also appointed
Harry Klungel to attend a
public meeting at Hay
Township Hall in Zurich on
July 25 to hear a preliminary ,
report for the repair of Main
Drain and West Branch
Black Creek drain.
Clerk Betty Oke reported
there were $530 worth of tax
write-offs which could not be
collected due to businesses
being discontinued or
buildings demolished in the
village.
Council also learned the
first $83,814 grant for the
arena funding was received
from Wintario on June 26.
