The first contract .for replacing the curbs and sidewalks was award- ed to Joe Franze Concrete Limited for their bid of $24,509. Village engineer Don Plctch noted that this was well under the S40,000 esti- mated contract price established by his company. The second contract for surfacing the road with asphalt went to TCG Consuuction Limited with a bid of S22,882. Again this was below the engineer's estimate of $35,000. Construction will begin early this summer. Brian Hasket( of Haskett- Hodgins Engineering Inc. attended the meeting to discuss his compa-. ny's future project on the Sunoco car wash property at the south end of Lucan. -The project is to con - yen the car wash into a small pla- za. The property is in Biddulph township and must be rezoned be- fore construction begins.._ Howev- er, Biddulph will not approve re- zoning unless an adequate supply- of upplyof water is .assured from Lucan, The car wash is presently run from the Lucan municipal system. Council agreed to continue sup- plying water to the property, but sought a contract whereby the vil- lage could reject tenant applica- tions if they wcrc high-water users, such as car washes or laundromats. Haskett did not have exact esti- mates of how much water the property would use, but guessed at around 60-70,000 gallons per mOrith.

Lucan Villa news 'LUCAN - Well here we are again with news from thc Lucan Villa Re- tirement Home. With spring having just arrived we have been as busy as bccs; trying to get our flower beds back into tip top shape. Thanks to the efforts of .Lillian Brown our gardens arc looking bet- ter every day. Our weekly Friday night Bingo winners arc as follows: Dill Kim- merly, Shirley Middleton, Alex Young, Marie Branton, Lillian Brown and Pat Caddock. The Villa introduced a new craft programme to the residents this week and nine res- idents participated in the activities, which proved to be quite enjoyable. This weeks activities involved making magnetic frig door orna- ments out of walnut shells. What arc they? Well you will have to join us for our upcoming craft and bake safe, date and time to be announced in the near future, or if your curiosi- ty gets the better of you, stop by • and view our handy work: The Villa would like to take this opportunity to welcome two new staff members, Shelly Daymcn and Anne Speed. Welcome - iris. Haskett's solicitor, Paul Stacey, was concerned about how an agree- ment .with Lucan could affect the plaza's ability to attract tenants. "You want an absolute right of re- fusing tenants?" asked Stacey. "Yes," replied reeve Norm Steep- er, suggesting that the agreement could•bc lifted once a lake pipeline is in place. Stacey said he would like a clause in the agreement to automatically remove the refusal of tenants once water is assured, but councillor Bob Hodge said it would have to be dis- cussed with the village's solicitor first because he wasn't sure the. present council should make prom- ises on a water system that has yet to be built. Councillor Harry Wraith was wor- ried a decision to grant water to a .property outside the village would not be well-received during a period of water restrictions. Hodge pointed out that Lucan has little choice; i,ecause the plaza pro- ject would be ;ander construction for at least a year. If it fell through, the car wash could 'reopen immedi- ately, using 114,000 gallons a. month to wash cars Lucan citizens. cannot wash at home. "It's an existing use," said Hodge, stating that the car wash cannot be denied access to water. "It would be nice to cut that consumption," he . said. Council also dealt with inquiries from Haskctt`s and the O.P.P. de- tachment about the washing of their vehicles in the village. After_ a short discussion, council decided to_ recommend -that -these vehic a be taken elsewhere for wasting.
