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.
In'SePtelnher council gave
the go-ahead for Ross to
conduct a cast study on the
initial stage of the pipeline.
At the time Ducharme said
if the study met with the
approval of the affected
property owners, the
township would request that
the ministry of the en-
vironment examine the
situation.
Long range plans could see
the pipeline extend as far
north as Drysdale.

will be retiring but that he
will finish all projects which
have been started.
Corbett's files have been
turned over to the
engineering, firm of W.J.
Bartlett and Associates
Limited of Dorchester.
Council agreed with the
suggestion from Reeve Jack
Tinney that the township
make some inquiries before
securing Bartlett's services.
Compared to 1978, the
value of building permits
issued in the township in 1979
doubled.
Ducharme said building
permits totalling $4,153,400
were issued last year.
Exeter's new garbage
packer commenced service,
Monday, and according to
works superintendent Glenn
Kells, worked satisfactorily.
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

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.
Echoing the sentiments of
council was Dick Rau who
