Clerk treasurer Joan Duchartne told, Hay council. Monday that WM. Ross and Associates had „completed the initial phase- of the pipeline study and that they had requested a meeting with the council to discuss the document. After sotne discussion, council set a date of March 10 to meet With the engineering firm.

With the operation of the new packer, some changes have been made in the schedule and the Sanitation department has also in- dicated they will become mote stringent on requiring residents to follow rules regarding the weight of refuse left for them to pick up. In an advertisement in this paper, the department also recommended people use plastic garbage bags. However, Cotincilier Lossy Fuller said that one ratepayer had noted that plaStic does not disintegrate and therefore could become a problem as the bags are burled at the landfill site. She said the plastic will lay there "for years and years and is not doing our landfill site any good." She wondered if the manufacturers could put have we, got problems."

Councillor Tony Bedard, a member of the townships recreation committee told council Monday evening that he had received a detailed breakdown on the use of the Hensall and district com- munity centre . with a suggestion of what the township should be con- tributing towards the operational costs of the year and & half old facility. Bedard said the Hensall rec committee had suggested area municipalities contribute the following amount towards the operation of their facility: Hay -4,950; Tuckersmith - $3,700; Usborne - $800; Stanley - $1,250; Hibbert - $1,250 and Hensall $11,250, In 1979 the township contributed $3,700 towards the operation of the Hensel' facility. Bedard agreed with for- mer councillor Don Geiger who attended the meeting, that area recreation boards would appear tobe th e coming thing as townships con- tributed greater amounts for the operation of recreational facilities. Bedard also noted that the Zurich recreation, parks and community centre board had requested the attendance of area townships at a meeting Thursday at the Zurich arena to explain the operation of that facility in relation to the townships with the understanding a request for ' increased township funding would be forthcoming, Bedard said he wouldn't agree to contribute. towardS an existing debt but that he could see increasing the township levy on the arena's year to year operation. Referring to the Zurich arena councillor Lionel Wilder said "When you see an arena closed 80 percent of the time it can't be making money." Wilder said the only arenas which make money are those which are owned priiately. He noted that Huron county has a comparatively small population in a large area. Geiger stated earlier in the evening that as far as he was concerned, there only needed to be three arenas in the county.
