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.
