Members Were dealing with by-laws and an amendment to the land use (zoning) by-law. Decisions are necessary before /a new Council takes er. Th first one, intended to govern the proceedings of councils and com- mittees contained 128 provisions for con- sideration! This was finally approved before your correspondent left at 11:30 pm. It is worth noting that number 10 of the by-law says 'No business may be dealt with at a council meeting after 11 pm. To this the Council added 'except by agreement of council' It appears that the present council approves of carrying on after 11, if the occasion calls for it. The new by-law .stipulates that every petition or com- munication shall be delivered to the Clerk not less than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting of the council. Another ruling states that "persons desiring to present information verbally on matters of fact, or make a request of Council shall give notice to the Clerk not less than 48 hours before the commencement of the meeting of the Council and may be heard by leave of the presiding officer, but shall be limited in speaking to not more than ten minutes, except that a delegation consisting of more than five persons shall be limited to two speakers each limited to speaking not more than ten minutes. An amendment to the land use (zoning) by-law was considered next. It has to do with designation of properties and was introduced in June 1977 as a result of the passing of a Provincial Act in 1974 to provide for the con- servation, protection and preservation of the heritage of Ontario. In December of 1976, the council designated Clan Gregor Square, Main Street and Elgin Place a Heritage Conservation District under the Act, and authorized the preparation of a heritage conservation district plan. Interest in this development and concern that a Local Architec- tural Conservancy Advisory Committee (LACAC) appointed in April, 1976 had never met led ' the Bayfield Ratepayers' Association to present a petition signed by 155 ratepayers to the Council requesting that LAC -AC be activated and have on it representation from the ratepayers; they also asked that the zoning by- law be looked into and updated, if necessary. This was presented in August, 1977. During the summer of 1978, the heritage conservation district plan was presented to the property owners in the designated area, and the LACAC committee held several meetings to discuss the plan with them. As a result of a meeting held in August Mr. Hill (of Hill and Borgal) authors of the plan) was asked to modify it somewhat to PRELIMINARY LIST OF ELECTORS for the Village of Bayfield The preliminary list of all Electors prepared as required by the Municipal Elections Act, 1977, will be publicly posted in the Office of the Village Clerk on the 12th DAY OF OCTOBER, 1978 Electors aro called on to examine the list to ensure that their names and relevant information are carrectly shown. Complaints In the nature of requests for ad- ditions, or correctlon't to, or deletions from, the list may be made by an Elector, completing and filing a Form obtainable at the Office of the Clerk. Th. last day for filing forms requesting additions, corrections or deletions is 27th DAY OF OCTOBER, 1978 Revisions of the above list to comrnenco OCTOBER 23rd, 1978. G. Graham Clerk Village of hayfield which he agreed. At the meeting on Thursday night, Coun- cillor McFadden ob- served that misun- derstanding and ap- prehension had developed concerning the intent of the Ontario Heritage Act and Mr. Hill's Plan. He felt that a lack of communication is the main problem. "I don't want to join the people who don't un- derstand the aims and objectives of LACAC" he said. Reeve Oddliefson emphasized that some changes would be made in the plan in accordance with the wishes of those directly concerned and that a public meeting would have to be held before the Land Use By- law could be amended. Bayfield Council along with Goderich Town Council were the first to set up LACAC com- mittees in Ontario. It is a compliment to the village that a pamphlet of guidelines published by the ministry of culture and recreation which administers the Ontario Heritage Act carries a sketch of Bayfield's Main Street on the cover. Eighty LACAC com- mittees had been set up at the time of a conference held in Peterborough last August on "Conserving Ontario's Main Streets" - and the number keeps growing. By that time Municipal Councils throughout Ontario had designated 500 properties on the advice of their LACACS. This is an astounding achievement in such a short time since Bayfield Council started the ball rolling in 1977, and one for which the Council can be justly proud. - Your correspondent in company with LACAC member Kay Reid visited Kincardine last weekend where a proud group of Kincardine •LACAC members took the John Galt Chapter of Heritage Canada on a bus tour of their beautiful old buildings. Eric Howald, president of LACAC and pub. fisher of the "Independent" in Kin- cardine was the tour guide. Pierre Berton, vice- president of Heritage Canada was the speaker at a noon lunch at Sutton Park Inn. Painting a vivid picture of his childhood in Dawson's ghost city he told of his love for history, which he did not realize had happened in Dawson as well as in the . rest of Canada, because it was never mentioned in history classes. "The challenge is tos.get our- selves to .reale that we are a part 0'0 history, Eight, wwerew re, art4 the buildings tat still remain are a living testimoty"to this in our own area'.', he said. Exchange students speak Bayfield Lions last Tuesday evening heard first hand about the experiences of two Bayfield girls who visited Texas last summer as Lions Exchange Students. Maria Lourenco and Karen Talbot gave a very interesting talk, showing keepsakes and pictures and presented Lion president John Boyes with pins and banners from the two clubs in Texas who entertained our Bayfield students.

MULHERN GENERAL INSURANCE 46•WEST ST. GODERICH 524-7878 CANADIANS LIKE CREDIT UNIONS Canadians must LIKE Credit Unions. More than 8 million of them belong to 3,881 Credit Unions stretching from the Yukon to Newfoundland. Canada's Credit Unions — and Caisses Populaires — have assets of nearly $16 billion. It's all dedicated to the Credit Union purpose of PEOPLE HELPING PEOPLE. In today's Credit Union system, the basic principals of service rather than profit, ownership by the people, demo- cratic control and voluntary service, still hold. But the original credit union concept is changing to offer a wider range of services to a greater number of people. Credit Unions belong to their members and do their best for them — in service, consumer protection, financial educa- tion. They are concerned with service more than profits. But the profits they make go back to the members. It's a great movement — a credit to Canada — and there's room in it for YOU.
