Council endorses insuranee resolution
By Wilma Oke
TUCKERSMITH-At its inaugural meeting
December 3, township council endorsed a
resolution from the Huron -Perth County
Roman Catholic Separate School Board that
the legislature be informed, through the of-
fice of the Attorney General for the Pro-
vince of Ontario, to alter or remove existing
legislation which is found to be responsible
for the excessive lawsuits and court awards,
and further that the judicial system be ex-
amined to ensure that subsequent awards do
not adversely affect the availability of in-
surance nor the premium for such insurance
protection.
The resolution had been endorsed and cir-
culated by the Catholic school board when it
found its recent renewal premium for all its
areas of liability insurance had increased 98
per cent, and the school bus operators, upon
a request for increased limits of liability,
have had their premiums increased by 100
per cent and upwards, resulting in an-
ticipated costly contract renewals.
In other business, the council voted to rent
a heated shed for $150 per month from Mat-
thew Haney for the tandem dump truck.
Jim Papple of RR 4 Seaforth was ap-
pointed as the township representative on
the Seaforth and Area Community Centres
Board.

and the Lioness Club was granted for coun-
cil approval to enable them to apply LA a li-
qupr licence at the Vanastra Recreation
Centre for their winter carnival on
February 1.
Council also gave approval to an applica-
tion from the Van Egmond Foundation to
apply for a BRIC (Building Rehabilitation
Improvement Commission) grant for the
Van Egmond. house.
Passed for payment, were the following
accounts: Day Care Centre at Vanastra,

Vanastra, $5,885.67; Vanastra Recreation
Centre, $9,140.55; roads, $62,702.87; and
