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.
