SEAFORTH 96 Main Street, S. 527-0420 Scrritip Ontario since 1975 with 12 loco liotis, for your convenience! —HENSALL AND AREA Hensall council can't explain Clerk Betty Oke was also given permission to enrollin the 1986 municipal finance conference set for London from September 24 to 26. "We finished pouring sidewalks at the end of July and now we get the things done that were let go until sidewalks were finished," wrote works superintendent John Baker in his monthly reporrt given to Hensall council, Monday. Another project completed was the paint- ing of parking lines on the street and Mr. Baker said it added greatly to the appearance of Main St. He indicated he was awaiting a catalogue from two Toronto companies for a "stripping machine." Reeve Jim Robinson whimsically pointed out that what Mr. Baker was really wanting Members of Hensall' council were at a loss toexplaina letter tabled tit Monday session rregardgicronta1eatthe Hensall arena. The letter, from Tuckersmith clerk J.R. McLachlan, explained that area municipal officials had met at his office on July 9 and rad agreed to write Hensall d ask that the te for minor ice g ups be seta $40 for the 1906 season, rather than $50. Councillor Cecil Pepper, who had repre- sented Hensall at the meeting, said he was in the darltover the communication and said the. officials had been told at the regional meeting that Hensall had in fact planned to grant the minor groups a $10 per hour figure that effectively reduced their ice rental fee to $40. He emphasized that the grant was only for 1986 and the matter would be looked at again for the 1987 season. ' Area township councils have been ap- preaehed by minor groups for assistance in view of the increased rental rates, but most have explained that their budgets have already been set for the current year. Mr. Pepper said the matter could be discussed again prior to the setting of 1987 budgets. Attending the July meeting were repre- sentativese- from Stanley, Hay, e Tuckersmith and Hibbert. At their Monday session, Hensall council also endorsed action by the United Transpor- Cation Union and the Canadian Railway Labour Association who are fighting to have cabooses maintained on freight trains, The groups point out that the removal of the cabooses could lead to more rail accidents, although Members of council wondered aloud what help the cabooses had been in the many rail accidents to date and whether there would have been more or fewer without cabooses. Councillor Peter Groot said he was not familiar enough withthe operation of a train to know what role the caboose plays. Council also named Reeve Jim Robinson and Councillor Cecil Pepper as voting delegates to the. A.M.O. convention. Mr. Robinson will actually be attending as a county delegate but will get a vote as a Hensall representative. We have added a new TOLL FREE NUMBER!

The works superintendent also advised that Parker and Parker had moved in to put a drain in the village's vacant lot in the north-west section of the village, but when the level was taken, it was found the catch basin at the street is not deep enough to tie into. He said the initial reaction was to run a tile north into Caldwell's field, but on second thought he suggested there should be more consideration given to providing an outlet for other properties in the area as well. At his suggestion, council agreed to have their consulting engineers look at the situation with the intent of getting better drainage in the area for all the properties. Approval given to convert -to -rent Hensall council this week gave tentative approval to an amended version of Bradley Oke's convert -to -rent project underway at the former Main St. hardware store. Mr. Oke appeared at Monday's session to explain that the progress to date has been reviewed by provincial officials, and partly at their suggestion, he was applying to incorporate two extra residential rental units in the lower level. The areas had originally been intended for retail or office use. Oke said several seniors had lamented the -fact there was no ground floor residential accommodation in the project and the changes would facilitate that apparent need. Council quickly endorsed the proposal, but added the proviso that final approval will be given after Mr. Oke presents a written agreement to them showing that the owner of the Hensall Tavern is agreeable to allow for parking on his property for tenants and visitors to the new complex. Mr. Oke said the present six apartments have either been booked already or are in the process and occupancy is set for October 1. in addition, a clothing store has rented space on the west side of the lower level and the facility is now basically filled. Councillor Irene Davis, in supporting the proposal to allow for the two new apartment units, said there was a need for more apartments in the community, and while there was also a need for stores too, there were still several other sites available on Main Street for the latter. Reeve Jim Robinson concurred, saying that while there may be a need in 15 years or so for the retail space, council had to act according to present conditions. Members of council joined Mr. Oke in expressing pleasure over the apparent success of the project and the developer indicated he may move on to consider a similar project that would be of benefit to the community.
