The letter, from Tuckersmith clerk J. It. McLachlan, explained that area municipal officials had met at his of- fice on July 9 and had agreed to write Hensall and ask that the rate for minor ice groups be set at $40 for the 1986 season, rather than $50. Councillor Cecil Pepper, who had represented Hensall at the meeting, said he was in the dark over the com- munication and said the officials had been told at the regional meeting that Hensall had in fact planned to grant the minor groups a $10 per hour figure tour? u!

He emphasized that the grant was only for 1966 and the matter would be looked at again for the 1987 season. Area township councils have been approached by minor groups for assistance in view of the increased rental rates, but most have explain- ed that their budgets have already been set for the current year. Pepper said the matter could be discussed again prior to the setting of 1967 budgets. Attending the July meeting were representatives from Stanley, Hay, Osborne, Tuckersmith and Hibbert. At their Monday session, Hensall council also endorsed action by the United Transportation Union and the Canadian Railway Labour Associa- tion who are fighting to have cabooses maintained on freight trains. The groups point out that the removal of the cabooses could lead to more rail accidents, although members of council wondered aloud what help the cabooses had been in the many rail accidents to date and whether there would have been more of fewer without cabooses. Councillor Peter Groot said he was not familiar enough with the opera- tion of a train to know what rote the caboose plays. Council also named Reeve Jim Robinson and Councillor Cecil Pepper as voting delegatesto� M.O. con- vention. Robinson will actually be at- tending as a county delegate, but will get a vote as a Hensall representative. Clerk.Betty Oke was also given per- mission to enroll in the 1966 municipal finance conference set for London from September 24 to 26. "We finished pouring sidewalks at the end of July and now we get the things done that were let go until sidewalks were finished," wrote works superintendent John Baker in his monthly report given to Hensall council, Monday. Another project completed was the painting of parking lines on the street and Baker said it added greatly to the appearance of Main St. He indicated he was awaiting a catalogue from two Toronto com- panies for a "stripping machine". Reeve Jim Robinson whimsically pointed out that what Baker was real- ly wanting was ,a "striping" machine and that "the stripping machine" is in the hotel. The works superintendent also ad- vised that Parker and Parker had moved in to put a drain in the village's vacant lot in the north-west section of the village, but when the level was taken, it was found the catch basin at the street is not deep enough to tie into. He said the intital reaction was to run a tile north into Caldwell's field, but on second thought he suggested there should be more consideration given to providing an outlet for other properties in the area as well. At his suggestion, council agreed to have their consulting engineers look at the situation with the intent of get- ting better drainage in the area for all the properties.

Not alone in Insurance rises The only consolation for Hensall -council this week when they receiv- ed their insurance premium bill was the explanation they were not alone in facing the continuing massive increases. Premium this year will be $15,438, compared to last year's $10,559. In 1984 the premium was only $7,613. While the premium has doubled the last two years, coverage has been reduced. The limit on municipal liability has been reduced to $7 million from $10 million. Bob Cowan of the Frank Cowan Company Ltd. said the higher coverage could be made available but the extra $3 million would add about $2,400 to the premium. Council opted for the lesser amount, but did endorse a recommendation from Cowan that the village hall coverage be increased from $100,000 to $171,000. Cowan and Mel Gaiser of Gaiser Kneale offered some hope that the pinnacle had been reached in in- surace premiums and that they could return next year with better news. Reeve Jim Robinson advised the two that years ago the bearers of such news (the spiralling insurance costs) would have been hanged. The two men hurriedly made their exit following that pronouncement.
