Many area residents took advantage of the free public health clinics last week
in Huron County to get their booster shot against the dreaded polio disease,
which has broken out in a small part of the province. Here a nurse gives a shot
to an area resident at the Clinton health office. Only those under 18 will be
vaccinated for the time being. (News -Record photo)
Hensall's secondary plan is read
Hensall's secondary
plan outlining landuse for
the village took ,one more
step on the long road to
becoming official when
council gave the bylaw
first reading.
Before giving the bylaw
first reading, council q
voted not to change any,
of the zoning designations
in the draft plan. Three
changes had been
suggested at the public
meeting held earlier.
County planner Roman
Dzus told council changes
could be made in the plan
by council later, but it
takes 60 days.
Once the plan is given
second and third reading,
it will be forwarded to the
county planning office.
After their examination it
will be printed and 'sent to
the Ontario Government
for approval. It will likely
take a year before it.will
be sent back, Dzus said.
Reeve Harold Knight
said the bylaw will be on
the agenda of the next
council Meeting for final
approval. Council
decided not to give the
bylaw three readings in
order to give members of
council more time to
study the plan.
First reading of the
bylaw means any new
development will be
subject to the plan, Dzus
said.
