superintendnet John Baker, Hensall

the sanitary sewer system.

Firedepartment gets
good rating in survey
The results of a survey of the fire
defences of the village of Hensall con-
ducted by Fire Underwriters Survey
for insurance purposes concluded the
local fire department is well organiz-
ed and under competent supervision.
Among the report's recommenda-
. tions were replacement of the 1954
pumper with a modern triple com-
bination pumper with a pumping
capacity of at least 3,000 litres per
minute. The 1954 pumper would be
maintained, fully equipped, for
reserve duty.
As fire flow tests at a number of
Locations showed that the available
supply of water would be insufficient
in the event of a major Tire, a pro-
gram for strengthening the arterial
and distribution system, and expan-
ding supply and/or storage facilities
were suggested.
Other recommendations included a
standby power source in case of
power outage for at least a second
well, installation of additional
hydrants and expansion of hydrant
servicing to record semi-annual in-
spection, yearly operation and any
repairs on an indexing system, and
alarm devices added to,the various
pumps, storage facilities, etc. to
transmit any abnormal conditions to
a constantly manned location.

overflow on those two particular
days.
Baker continued "There is the
possibility that some day the pumps
may not be able to handle all the ex-
tra water and there could be a sewage
backup that could make an awful
mess of some basements."
Councillor Butch Hoffman said,
"That'll an alarming amount of water
and reeve Jim Robinson added, "We
are paying extra for pumping this
water."
Clerk Betty Oke checked village
bylaws and reported the fine for
allowing illegal water into the sewer
system was $1,000.
Council approved an expenditure of
up to $600 to repair the motor of the
1927 antique fire truck. Firemen will
undertake the work.
Councillor Irene Davis commented,
"I think it's essential that we have it
repaired. The firemen have great
pride in it. It can be used for many
local events like bringing Santa Claus
in on December 5.
Reeve Jim Robinson added, "It's a
little piece of heritage for Hensall and
there is little enough of that."
Inge Mowat of the Hensall Business
Improvement Association presented
council with an IBA sponsored
Christmas promotion that would in-
clude a tree -lighting ceremony as a
festive way in which to launch the
seasonal activities within the
community.
The plan calls for a tall evergreen
tree to be installed on the lawn of the
town hall and be either decorated with
strings of lights or illuminated by
spotlights from below.
Decorations would be kept to a
minimum to reduce the possibility of
vandalism; in fact, a large star or a
Christmas angel adorning the top of
the tree would make a most effective
display.
On Friday, December 5 at 7:30 p.m.
the lights on the tree would be il-
luminated at a public ceremony con-
ducted by representatives from Coun-
cil, the BIA and possibly one or both
of our local church ministers. This
would be followed by a short carol
service led by either a church or
school choir.
The last choral selection might be
"Here Comes Santa Claus", at which
time "Santa" would arrive and
distribute candy canes to those in at-
tendance. It is anticipated that the en-
tire event should last no more than
half an hour. The display would con-
tinue to be lighted each evening
throughout the Christmas season.
In conclusion she said, "Our sub-
mission to council this evening is to
ask for the village's financial support
to supply and instal the Christmas
tree and decorations, absorb the cost
of hydro consumed to illuminate the
tree, and to dismantle and store the
decorations after Christmas for use in
subsequent years."
After Mrs. Mowat revealed prices
of artificial trees, council instructed
works superintendent John Baker to
find a real tree.
In discussing the proposal, reeve
Jim Robinson said, "We are in-
terested in doing something."
The Regional Assesement Office
will conduct an Open House in the
Hensall Council Chambers on
December 11, from 1:00 p.m. to 8:00
p.m. to answer queries from the
public on assessments. Assessment
notices will be mailed out on
December . If there are no changes
assesment notices will not be sent out.
The Minister of Tourism and
Recreation have advised that the ap-
plication for a Capital Conservation
Grant is approved in the amount of
$10,300. This information was passed
on to the Hensall and District
Kinsmen Club who are undertaking
the project of renovating the Pavilion.
$5,150.00 representing 50 percent of
the grant has been received.
The financial report of the Kinsmen
1986 Ontario Fiddlers Contest was cir-
culated and confirms their deficit as
outlined in their previous cor-
respondence with council advising of
their discontinuance of the annual
Fidllers contest.
In his report animal control officer
David Groot said the month of
September was very quiet with no
complaints and no dogs caught.
He added, "The weather wasn't fit
for man or beast.
