Can't explain mixup in ice rental rates
Members d Hensall council were at
a loss to explain a letter tabled at
Monday night's session regarding ice
rental rates at the Hensall arena.
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?

that effectively reduced their ice ren-
tal fee to $40.
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.
