Knight and clerk Betty Oke recently met with David Cowan, a housing analyst for the Ontario Housing Cor- poration, to discuss what steps are needed in researching if a need exists for ministry assisted housing in the village. The assisted housing could be either for senior citizens or families with a lower income. Knight told council it would likely be senior citizens housing the village was interested in. In a survey completed recently by Mrs. Irene Davis 12 seniors living in Hensall indicated they were in urgent need of housing ac- comodations. Mrs. Davis told council many of these seniors were living in homes, and finding they couldn't afford the upkeep. She said however, they wanted to stay in the village of Hensall and needed apartment ac- comodations. Reeve Knight told council he understands there is currently only ,one senior citizens' assisted housing unit available for rent in the whole of Huron County. If the response to a questionnaire circulated in the village and to ads in local papers indicates a need for assisted housing in Hensall, the village would receive 100 per cent funding under a municipal non-profit cor- poration. The village would then have to form its own housing authority to oversee construction of the rental units. The federal govern- ment will provide 10 per cent of the total capital cost of the project, and rents will pay for the building's upkeep. Reeve Knight said con- struction of a senior citizens' apartment building shouldn't result in any in- STOVES n- STOVES with BLOWERS GLASS DOORS and all accessories plus FIREPLACE STOVES AND INSERTS all et The Collectors' Shop KIRKTON 229-8965 lean up wit these specials SNOWMOBILE SUDS Adults '4.50 Youths Up to Size 12'3.75 Children Up to Age 6 '3.00 WORK VESTS '1.25 "down filled" '2.25 Offer good from Nov. 21 - Nov. 27 on orders brought to our Grand Bend, Exeter or Mitchell Store.

Works superintendent Bill McLaren was given per- mission by council to proceed with construction of a catch basin in the Hensall arena parking lot. Council agreed if the flooding problem is solved by the catch basin, this should also cut down on arena users parking on the fire route. Parking by-law Reeve Harold Knight suggested that council should consider reviewing the village parking bylaw at a future meeting of the streets committee.

Council received a letter from the Township of West Carleton asking that each municipality in the province appeal their equalization factors to the Ontario Municipal Board with a request that the province establish one method of assessing properties within each region, county or other jurisdiction containing more than one member municipality. Under the new equalization factors in- troduced by the provincial government, taxes in rural municipalities in the province are expected to increase in the future. Hensall council decided to note and file the request from West Carleton. Harry Klungel said, "We couldn't find too much wrong with our factor at all." Hensall council later decided to request that Section number 86 be implemented to get rid of inequities in classes of taxation. Clerk Betty Oke said assessment bases will change on within classes, based on market values of homes or property. Council approved a request from the Hay Township council that the village of Hensall accept the responsibility for all costs incurred by the township in Hay/Hensall annexation proceedings.

Beautiful flower arrangements adorned the sanctuary from the funeral of the late Tom Brintnell, placed there by his wife, Dorothy. Next Sunday, the Sacrament of Baptism will be held at the morning service with Rev. McDonald officiating. We'll Do the Job Right...
