T -A photo Susan Hartman 262-2449 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.

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.

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.
