Alma Dayman, Sam

Bisback and George Parker
had given clerk Betty Oke
prior notice they wished to
make verbal submissions.
Adrian Bayley, Jim Sangster,
Dr. John Goddard, Jack
Lavender and Campbell Eyre
were among those who also
spoke.
The tenor of all arguments
was in accord - the project
was not needed, the cost was
prohibitive. would place an
onerous burden on taxpayers
who felt taxes were already
too high and the money could
be spent to much greater ad-
vantage in trying to attract
more business and industry to
a village that has not grown in
population in the past four
decades.
More than one person men-
tioned the possibility of the
school being closed, which, if
Hensall's worst fears were
realized, would provide am-
ple room for a municipal
building. Others suggested if
council need a larger
chamher the library could
easily be moved to one of the
einpty stores on main street.
Reeve Harry Klungel's
comment that this is not
really a meeting to answer
questions" received a hot
reception. Dr Goddard re-
quested that the fact "I ask-
ed questions: didn't get
answers and went home" he

per agenda o discuss such
matters as whether or not the
building is worth saving,
would it make money, how
would it improve the village's
lifestyle. facts and figures on
interest charges and heating
costs, how the costs could be
justified when other facilities
for meetings are usually emp-
ty, and all ramifications of
such an expensive undertak-
ing. He suggested all discus-
sion be cancelled "until it can
be handled properly."
Bayley asked council 1
give the ratepayers an oppor-
tunity to be heard, adding
"you have no choice".
When Klungel replied "1
can guarantee you'll hear of
our decision", and speculated
on how many - or how few -
might attend a. public
meeting, Bayley accused him
of "playing politics" and
demanded a commitment
that "not one more penny be
spent" until ratepayers can
discuss that project at a
public meeting.
Council was then polled.
and each member assented to
a public meeting, to be held in
1984. (With that, the council
chamher rapidly emptied.
Only a few hardy souls stayed
till adjournment two h -urs
later.)
Before leaving. .Albert
llovius wanted to know if
there were any laws govern-
ing the keeping of a caged
wild animal in the village.
Betty Oke said Hensall has no
bylaw regulating exotic
animals. Cows. yes: cougars.
no. llovius was concerned
that if a wild animal escaped.
it could injure sorneone.
Peter Darbishire waited un-
lit the time for new business
near the close of the session to
express his concern that some
businesses are starting to
disperse within ;he village to
