Financially, the village of $21,899 over the past six
ensall is right on target;,
said clerk treasurer,
Elizabeth Oke at Monday
evening's. ,village council
meeting.
After six months under the
1980 budget, the village has
spent *107.650. less. than 50
per cent of the budgetted
amount, for the year. said
Mrs. Oke.
• To date. one of the largest
costs has been attributed to
recreation with costs
amounting; to $37,.000 and to
general government ac-
counts equalling $24,000, she
said. . •
In a six month finance
report submitted to council
by the Hensall Parks Board,
costs an attributed to
salaries, wages and benefits,
totalling $17.448. Remaining
expenditures are attributed
to equipment. heating,
hydro, water. sewage, and
other general -costs.
Ifi comparison to the $37,-
000 recreation expenditure,
the Hensall Parks Board
collected , revenue totalling
month'.
.One of the strongest
revenue soutces listed In the
report was ice surface ren-
tal. Over the -past six
months, the board has
' collected an approximate
$9,000 from renting the ,ice
surface to minor hockey, .
broomball, curling and other
local and team clubs.
In reply to a request made
by the Huron County School
Board, Hensall council has
voted in favor of supporting
quarterly ' financiel
payments to the board,
rather then the ' biafinual
method used in the past.
In making payments -on a
quarterly basis. amounts of
approximately $70.500 could
be saved by the board in in-
terest costs on loans,aid a
letter from the school board.
The letter adds that this
may result in a • $48,500
savings to area rate payers.
In discussing the proposal,
reeve Harold Knight said it
_ would be easily ad-
ministered in Hensall since
taxes are collected on a
quarterly basis already.
"You -just can't sit here
and complain about the cost
of education. if you're not
going to do something," he
told council.
At the moment: added
Mrs. Coke, the school board is.
-.only interestedin obtaining
a general feeling from coun-
cil on the matter.
In general business. Hen-
sall Village Council received
a reply from the. Ministry of
Transportation concerning
, an earlier letter they . sent
regarding the upgrading of
Highway 84_ The letter,
which informed the ministry
of conditions of.the highway
that runs through downtown
Hensall, was sent in the hope
of initiating speedy repairs.
According to Mrs. Oke, the
ministry replied informing
council the reconstruction of
Highway 84 is part of the
five year plan for the area
and that council would be ad-
vised on any furtlllr con-
struction outcome.

transfer from mercury
vapor to high pressure
sodium lighting in the
village.
Reeve Knight told council
that the village had just
completed . a transition to
mercury vapor lighting.

now," ,he said. "We're just
getting things changed to
mercury .vapor."

of approximately three
