Councillors Cecil Pepper and Jim Robinson are going Robert Erb appeared before the regular September session of Hensall council to explain his plan to add a 30 by 32 -foot addition with three bays to the south end of his garage on Highway 4. Although the project does not conform with a spot amend- ment to Hensall's zoning bylaw, Erb was given coun- cil's permission to apply for a building permit. As nothing has been done by Don Crich, London, to clean up the yard of his apart- ment building as requested in a registered letter sent by council, the property stan- dards committee will be in- structed to proceed with whatever action is necessary. Works superintendent John Baker was given the green light to make whatever deal he can with the village's old Allis Chalmers tractor. The PUC, which at one time used the machine to operate a belt pulley to pump water during hydro failures, has indicated it does not want the tractor. A new Allis Chalmers has been leased. A bylaw was passed authorizing John Ward to erect and maintain equip- ment to supply Hensall with cable television. The original plan to install the equipment at the rear of the town hall was not practical; it is to be placed on a small section of land leased from Eric Camp- bell. Work will begin this year on the project. Acting on a request from MPP Jack Riddell, council has appointed assistant clerk Kim Marsden to act as liaison on council's behalf to initiate the establishment of an anti - drinking -driving committee. Council members were ask- ed by Reeve Harry Klungel to think of suitable names for formation of a steering com- mittee to begin work on a contingency plan in case Hen- sall is ever faced with a natural or man -caused disaster. The matter will be further discussed at a special meeting called for September 24. Councillor Richard Packham offered to explain ' the Ontario Youth Corps Pro- gram and the Ontario Youth Works Program to meetings of the economic development committee and the BTA, and see if either group can sug- gest a project. He will report to the special meeting. Council met in special ses- sion on August 28 to review the policy manual prepared by Lisa Hamather. One new policy to be included states that six pen desk sets inscrib- ed with name and term of of- fice be ordered for use by councillors in council chambers, and that this will initiate a policy for future councils. Members of the Hensall parks board committee agreed to the inclusion in the policy manual of a stipulation that anyone missing more than three meeetings in a year without a valid reason PLANT EXCHANGE — Iva Reid (left) gets a ticket for her plan. from Velma Robinson at the plant exchange at the Hensoll Horticultural Society meeting.
