ater meters for some
residences
LUCAN = Some village residents
could be seeing water meters on
their homes before the winter is
over. •
Works superintendent Doug
Johnston. suggested to village
council at their January meeting
that if the winter continued its mild
trend, the works department could
use its spare tithe to begin a pro-
gram of installing water meters.
Councillor Bryan -Smith noted
it would take about two or three -
years to get the entire village me-
tered and there was no time like the -
present to get started, even though
a lakewater pipeline is several years
down the road. -
"I have no problem with buying
a hundred meters," agreed council-
lor Larry Hotson. .
Council approved the purchase of
100 meters at approximately $75
each.
Councillor Tom McLaughlin
suggested work should begin on a
newsletter to keep citizens updated
. on the status of the water and sew-.
age projects, to encourage discus-
sion, and to make sure everyone
knows summer water shortages
will still be with the village for the
next couple of years. He estimated
the cost of the newsletter would be
about $150 per issue.
Currently, Lucan awaits ministry
approval for the projects, along
with a backlog of other municipali-
ties. Deputy reeve Harry Wraith
noted some of those other applica-
tions may get priority.
"The people in Lucan think
we've got the biggest problem,
which is only human nature," said
Wraith, pointing out Lucan's need
.for water and sewage capacity has
not yet reached an emergency. -
Hotson suggested another public
meeting be held, perhaps as a part
of Local Government Week, to
keep communication with villagers
open. Council agreed and will dis-
cuss the matter at a later date.
In other business Smith once
again raised the issue of the need for
a traffic light or crosswalk on Main
Street. . _
Hotson agreed, noting that once
the seniors' building is completed,
many seniors will be crossing the
street daily to reach the post office.
"Someone's going to. get killed
before we get our stop light," said
Smith. '-
Wraith and Steeper cautioned that
if Lucan slowed down traffic on
highway 4, the MTC may be fur-
therencouraged to bypass the vil-
lage.
Johnston said a 1986 study had
shown Lucan does not have enough
side:street traffic to warrant a light.
Smith agreed, but again insisted.
the installation of a pedestrian
crossover should be looked into.
Council spentconsiderable time
appointing representatives to vil-
lage committees. A lengthy debate
concerned the selection of the Parks
and Recreation committee, three of

munity Centre -Management Com-
mittee with representatives from
Biddulph, London, and McGillivray
Townships.
rtiotson singled out the arena's
deficit as a major issue.
"It has to be changed. We can't
afford it as a village," said Hotson,
claiming the deficit skyrocketed
. from $30,000 three years ago to the '
present $77,400. -
:Bryan Smith argued that the defi-
cit three years ago was actually
higher than it appeared, but agreed
that the changes on council in No-
vember were a reflection of the are-
na board's troubles andsome new
faces should be seen on_ the board
this year. -
Council finally agreed Brian Noy-•
es arid Janice Silver would join Hot -
son and Johnston on the committee,
chaired by McLaughlin. - -
-Among other committees- ap-
pointed were the Fence Viewers.
Although this committee has met
only twice since 1976, it exists be-
cause- of the Line Fences Act.
Should disputes arise over fencing
costs, Frank Goring and Lorne Hod-
gins will be on hand to decide the
issue.
The committee of adjustment for
this term will be Bill Haskett, Pat
Ryan and Andy VanGeel. •
.Lucan has until January,31 to de-
cide on a garbage collection con-
tract. Wraith wanted to see a break-
down of contractor Larry Lewis'
costs before considering contract re-
newal. -
Wraith said the increases presented
to Lucan and Biddulph by Lewis
were "a little exorbitant." The con-
tract was tabled for further study.
McLaughlin said he had checked
around with other townships and ,
found that Lewis' offer was "not out
of line". •
