The Huron County Housing Authority had written advis- ing Council of two vacancies in' the Senior Citizens' apart- ments for which there were no outstanding applications. In response to a letter regarding the speed limit on Highway 21, the M.T.C. ex- pressed the opinion that the present speed was realistic and that this decision had been reached after discus- sion with the O.P.P. A request had been receiv- S ed from Hugh Gregory for a tree on the front of his pro- perty to be cut down. Hydro had agreed to this, but pro- blems remained with regard to removal of the wood and the Road Superintendent was asked to discuss this with Mr. Gregory. ' Col. Charles Curtis had written to the Council com- plaining about a derelict building in Tuyll St., which constituted a hazard and a fire risk. As the building was on a private property Coun- cil agreed to contact the owner, Mrs. Potter, re- questing demolition of the . building, or, if the request was not complied with, ar- rangements should be made for the removal of the struc- ture at the owner's expense. Huron County Housing Authority's request for use of the Arena in the event of emergency was approved. The Town and Country Homemakers acknowledged the Council's donation towards their office fund, and Councillor Pemberton, a member of that organiza- tion, advised council that as a result of the appeal they would be able to secure the building for their use. Also that Conestoga College had reconsidered and the Homemakers courses were to be resumed. A by-law was to be prepared to cover loans from the government to shore line residents to enable them to carry out anti -erosion measures, since such pro- cedures had to be ad- ministered by the municipality. Committee reports follow- ed and' Councillor Chapman submitted details for inclu- sion in a proposed agree- ment with the Bayfield Yacht Club. Congratulating the Councillor on the ex- cellence of his study, the Reeve said a meeting would be set up with the Yacht Club in the near future, after which it was hoped the mat- ter could be referred to the lawyers. Pending a decision regar- ding the responsibility for cutting down of weeds west of the shack on the south side of the river, Council would carry out this work on a 'one- time' basis, the labour being charged to the responsible Party. Councillor Johnson reported on a request related to a recent property transfer. Building could not proceed until a solution had been arrived at with regard to an existing culvert. The Road Superintendent was asked to investigate the mat- ter and report back to Coun- cil. Councillor Sturgeon sought Council's approval for the siting of a ratepayer's gift for children - a sand box and sand. It was agreed and would be located behind the new ball screen. Referring to the budgeted allowance on Parks, she also requested permission to expend . the sum of up to $500 on the pur- chase of wood to build bleachers and players' ben- ches. This motion was ap- proved. Mrs. Anne Martin's com- plaint with regard to a large sign had now been in- vestigated. The owners would be requested to amend the size in accordance with the existing zoning by-laws. The Reeve advised Council of the appointment of a custodian (Mr. Ma..k Stevens) who had been n*.®• employed for the purpose of maintaining the Municipal Building and the Town Hall. His duties would also include the supervision of the public washrooms. The floor in the Council office- already in- dicated the difference a thorough cleaning had pro- duced. Opening hours for the washrooms had been settled, and only the matter of sign- posting had yet to be resolv- ed. Councillor Sturgeon re- quested sight of the motion approving the appointment of the custodian. Approval by the Business People's Association of the Heritage Plan would require the new formation of a L.A.C.A.C. committee, and the necessary by-law would be approved at the next meeting. Hydro usage and ,other matters related to the use of public buildings were still being investigated and it was hoped that at the next meeting of Council some firm proposals would be tabled. Bill Talbot reported that following a suggestion at the last meeting of Council, the Fire Department had no ob- jection to the re -painting of the doors of their building, although their budget did not allow for expenditure of this nature at the present time. Accounts on behalf of the Recreation Committee were submitted for payment for which expenditure had already been approved by the Council. Arrangements were made for the fitting of a new lock and repair of the gate in the • Agricultural Park. Bills were approved for payment, and it was agreed that the one for the Arena should be checked with Hydro since it did not seem to be related to usage during the month in question. Other bills included one from the County of Huron for $20,408, and another for over $72,000 for Education. Council agreed that old culverts of no further use to the village could be sold.

(laughter from the audience and council) Johnston: "Have there been any applications received?" Reeve: "Yes, we have at least hall a dozen applica- tions received for the posi- tion." Councillor Chapman: "When do you want to review them, George?" Reeve: "Well, the closing date is the 15th...eh.." Sturgeon: "The 18th". Reeve: "the 18th and we have some discussion that we are going to have to have a committee of council on as reviewing the applications is a matter of personnel. That's how we must deal with this and that will be done, pro- bably a special meeting not later than Wednesday of this week if you people (the coun- cil) can be available." Chapman: "Will you ad- • vise us of this (meeting)?" Reeve: "I will probably advise you. We have to wait until we get all the applica- tions in. Does that answer your question?" Johnston: "Well it does to the extent of that, Mr. Reeve, but it puts me in the position that I question now what we intend to do pertain- ing to the position of a clerk because you have before had a petition which you said council would review. How can we review it if we're go- ing to go into committee of council? We're going to have to review this petition and solve this problem as we pro- mised these people we'd do, before we can discuss the ap- plications for the position of a clerk and this puts me in a position that I look upon it that we're going to be at least two weeks before we ever get around to discuss- •ing this petition, therefore we will be longer than two weeks before we can go around looking at ap- plicants " Reeve: "No, we've got to discuss this petition, and other matters too, and the suggestion of Mr. Pounder for instance, has to be reviewed and we could do that in Committee of Coun- cil." Johnston: "Well, it's sub- ject to the wishes of council. I'm opposed to it." Chapman: "Do you feel it should be reviewed in public then? Johnston: "Absolutely! It was presented to us by the public and I think we should take the onus of respon- sibility to discuss it openly in public, not at a closed meeting. I'm not ashamed of any decision that rve made by myself as a councillor and I see no reason why we shouldn't give the people that -the doctor stood up and said can Ispeak to you on the matter of the petition and he was told 'no sir, it will be brought up at a later meeting and you had an op- portunity at that time' -well, we've got to have a meeting in which these people that came here tonight to present it have the opportunity to hear what council intends to do about it." Chapman: "I don't want to see committee of council meetings, on private affairs, being discussed in public, but I think the net result of what we've done should be discussed in public." Johnston: "I'm just saying John, that I am opposed to it because I, as a councillor, do not want to give the impres- sion to the people of this village that I'm afraid to face them and I'm about to go behind closed doors and discuss a petition that they've brought forward, and I do not intend to do that. I do not intend this council to discuss a petition 'in camera'. I am prepared to discuss that, and that was given by the Reeve tonight, rightly or wrongly or whatever, was given to two people sitting here in the room tonight and told that this matter would be brought up at a future meeting and one of the gentlemen left here, I'm sure under the im- pression, that he'd have the opportunity to discuss it!" Reeve: "The exact wor- ding of it was it will be taken under advisement, but in any event, a discussion of that and a future public meeting could be discussed at this meeting on Wednes- day, whether or not it is necessary to have a public meeting or whether it isn't and we can discuss that at our meeting on Wednesday with no problem at all. There is no need to apologize for that decision!" Johnston: "Don't misunderstand me, I have no intention of apologizing for the approach that the council took and I had no intention of backing down from that ap- proach, but I do feel°that the public who • came here tonight to question that deci- sion have the right to be told to their face and has the right to hear us say so and it's not for us to go behind closed doors and -discuss it and as a councillor I'm not going to make decisions on future applicants until this matter is referred back to these people." Graham: " I'm not car- rying on as the clerk and I told you last week that I was here...."" Johnston: "I know that! Graham: "I came back to help you out, I didn't come back of my own free choice....I don't care what you do...but I'll clean up what I started and you can do as you like." Councillor Pemberton: "Will this meeting be private?" I often hear the lament that it is impossible to find good craftsmanship nowadays. The same complaint has been made in all ages—before and including even the Re- naissance. 1t was not true then, and it's not true now. Difficult, yes. But the best of anything has never been easy to produce or to find. 1t requires commitment on the part of craftsmen, and informed taste on the part of patrons, to demand and appreciate the finest in buildings, furniture, or what- ever else we use in our homes. 1t must also be remembered that only the best from past lI LIFE ages tends to survive, while we see both the good and the bad of our own time all around us. The range we have to choose from today has never been approached at any time in history. 1t gives us a unique opportunity to gain perspective as we sift through the possibilities. Finding the best has always been a challenge—and, for a few, its rewards are worth the effort. lit appointment or h1 ( (rano Exclusive • Fabricn • Wal 'coverings • Furn iture • Art & Accents SHOWROOM: 128 Albert Street, Clinton 482 3871 Reeve: "This initial meeting will be because we're going to be dealing with, in the second place, after we finish the initial part of the meeting, that it will be dealing with applica- tions which are personnel matters and are dealt with privately as a matter of record in municipal affairs.
