Zurich Citizens News, 1977-12-15, Page 7Seniors' housing desired
Hensall Reeve Harold Knight
predicted this week that a
suggestion to have all senior
citizen apartments in Huron
taken over by the county "will
have a pretty rough ride through
county council
Under the proposal, all
municipalities in the county
would share in the deficit of the
geared -to -income units now
located in seven municipalities,
Any senior citizens in Huron
would then become eligible for
accommodation in any of the
units where space is available.
At the present time, Hensall
has agreements with Exeter and
Zurich whereby residents can
live in apartments in those two
communities and the village pays
their share of any deficit.
Knight said he was concerned
that the ownership of the units
was held by the municipality in
which they were built, noting that
the money for the construction of
the apartments was provided by
• the two senior levels of govern -
men t.
"We should have one too," he
said.
The Reeve said that a study
undertaken in Hensall showed
that there was no need for a
complete apartment building, but
there were about six citizens who
could make use of the ac-
commodation.
Council members had no
Paris motion filed
Hensall council members filed
a request this week to endorse a
resolution from the town of Paris
to have a world referendum on
disarmament and world order.
The group organizing the
petition have suggested that
nothing will probably ever come
of their idea, but they want to
draw to the attention of world
leaders that few of them are
listening to their citizens.
Councillor Bevan Bonthron
opined that some councils must
not have very much work to do
when they can spend their time
on such items.
"They mustn't have any snow
problems," commented Coun-
cillor Harry Klungel.
The only support for the idea
came from Reeve Harold Knight,
although he had a rather selfish
motive. "I'd like to be the
enumerator for such a vote," he
said. _
Knight suggested he would
start his enumeration of the
world in Hawaii and work his way
northward... slowly.
Council also took no action on a
request from the Township of
Sandwich West for endorsation of
a resolution that calls for an
amendment to the Highway
Traffic Act to allow that where
the identity of the driver of
vehicle illegally passing a school
bus is not possible, the vehicle
owner be fined upon proper
identification of the vehicle by
the school bus driver.

Paul Neilands suggested that
changes in the Act should be left
up to the provincial government.
Bonthron said the change
would suit him, pointing out that
he leased his car and the firm
from whom he leased it would
then have to pay the fines.
