Council had agreed to pay half the cost of paving the Jot, and the Park- ing Lot Paving Fund Raising com- mittee was to supply the rest. althought the committee has raised just over half their share to date, coucil decided to give approval to take advantage of a price of $21,640 of- fered by Lavis Construction for a limited time. This action gives the Committee more time to raise money while the village acts as guarantor for their loan. More money is expected to come in to the committee when local ser- vice clubs reactivate after the sum- mer break. Reeve Harry Klungel reported that a BMX track for village young people was completed with volunteer labour on the weekend. It now has to be smoothed, packed down, and check- ed for stones. Works superintendent John Baker said combustible and noncombustible material is not being separated by people using the dump. Someone dropped over 50 sheets of tin at the burn pit. "He was better educated when he left than when he came in", Baker remarked, adding, "Farmers are the worst. They'll bring in anything. What they used to take to the bush they now bring to the dump-" Baker warned that if the agreement regulating household garbage is not adhered to, the dump will be full long before its anticipated 30 -year lifespan. Councillors suspect that more than the one-third of Usborne residents authorized to use the Hensall dump paved are bringing their garbage to the village facility. Some who would be using the Kirkton site are coming to Hensall instead. Clerk Betty tyke was asked to inform the Usborne clerk of the matter. Klungel said if the neighbouring township doesn't live up to its con- tract, Hensall will refuse access to the landfill site. The new attendant at the dump will also be asked to advise users of the re- quirement to separate garbage. Property committee representative Irene Davis wanted to know what was being done about the library ceiling. Some staples pulled out, allowing a light fixture and a section of ceiling to fall. Baker is trying to find mat- ching T -bars, and in the interim has replaced some of the staples with hooks. No complaints have been received about the new garbage pick-up service. Summer student Dave Rowcliffe reported on a survey he had con- ducted among Hensall businesses. Seventeen of the 25 who responded noted an improvement in business in the last five years. The consensus seemed, to be that Hensall needed more housing, and a sprucing up of "dowdy storefronts" to attract new people. One respondent said every ef- fort should be made to make Hensall more attractive. A motion writing off taxes totalling $9,490 was passed. Twenty-five Norway Maples for roadside planting have been ordered . from the Ausable Bayfield Conserva- tion Authority.
