Council members Monday night
that if his firm is to continue

area, rates will have to be raised
20 cents per pick-up, per four
week period, effective im-
mediately.
He said their increased at-
tempts to conform to Ministry of
the Environment regulations at
the land-fill sites, plus the
"phenomenal" rise in gasoline
and other operating expenses in
the past few months necessitates
the rise in price.
A 20 cent raise per pick-up
would cost $1.85 per four-week
period for residential pick-up and
$3.50 for commercial pick-up for
the same time.
Council raised considerable
objection to the information at
first, saying they had already set
their tax rate and would not have
enough money in the budget for
garbage to cover such an in-
crease.

By SID DALEY
Woe is me,here it is the second
week into a lovely autumn and
here I am fighting a losing battle
with the flu. Oh well guess I'll just
have to grin and bear it, quit
feeling sorry for myself and get
on with Comments.
For those of our Comrades who
were unable to attend the
Seminars laid on by Command at
several different locations
throughout the province, let me
say you certainly missed out on a
great deal.
A new and exciting program
has been added "community
programs'. Already this facit is
beginning to snowball and the
enthu,siesm grewing,ip, leepeoed
bounds. You can zest assured
that much will be heard of this
new Legion program in the im-
mediate future.
Have you got your tickets for
the show of all shows yet, and of
course I am referring to the
"Carlton Show Band"! Now these
fine teddies from the Emerald
Isle will be performing for your
entertainment at the Recreation
Centre, Huron Park com-
mencing at 9.00 p.m. Friday,
October 5.
There will be about four hours
of song and laughter and dancing
if you so desire. Also remember
The Lucan Legion have hired two
buses to supply free tran-
sportation from Lucan to Huron
Park and return following the
show.

UCW
"Women of the Bible" and
"Hannah" in particular was the
study theme for the Evening
Unit, U.C.W. meeting Tuesday
evening. Mrs. T. Emery Sr. and
Mrs. G. Hotson presented the
study and also conducted a
service of worship.
Unit Leader Mrs. A.E. 'Reilly
chaired the business meeting
when plans were made for a bake
sale October 20 in Cliff McLean's
Service Station. All women of the
congregation are invited to bring
their "specialties".
The "travelling basket" is
travelling, but slowly. Members
and friends are urged to keep it
moving,
, Mrs. Archie Sinclair, convener
kn. the October General U.C,W.
meeting October 9, announced
that Michael Greenberg of the
London Family and Children's
Services will be the guest
speaker, Members of other,
women's groups in the , com-
munity will be special guests.
if we don't have it," said the
reeve.
"If you can't operate at present
rates for the balance of the year,
we may have to look for other
alternatives," he told Mr. Lewis.
"We are not going to operate at
a loss," Mr. Lewis answered "We
were told by the Ministry of the
Environment that we cannot
operate and maintain a landfill
site for less than $2,50 per pick-
up. I think they are a little high,
but think we are doing it well to
do it for even a 20 cents per pick-
up raise".
Council finally decided,
however, that one way or another
they were going to have to have
the garbage collected and passed
a resolution effecting the raise.
This increase will be paid from
the general tax rate for the
balance of 1973,
In other major business, the
council was served with a writ
from M.M. Dillon, consulting
engineers in London with
reference to an unpaid bill for
work which was done in the
construction on main street.
The firm of Haggarty-
Campbell previously served a
writ to the village and to M.M.
Dillon Co. for payment on a
quantity of B-grade gravel which
was used in the construction.
The writ served on the village
by M.M. Dillon served to inform
council that they are defending
themselves against the claim by
Haggerty Campbell.
Council moved to forward the
writ to the town lawyer E.J.R.
Wright and empowered him to
take the necessary action on
behalf of Lucan to inform M.M.
Dillon that they too are going to
defend against the writ.
The question of the tender on
the old fire hall was raised at the
meeting again. The tenders were
opened at the September meeting
of council and a special meeting
was held with each of the bidders
on the property but no decision
was reached.
Council again deferred a final
decision, but were informed that
Lions Club is no longer interested
in renovating the facilities for use
as a senior citizen's centre. The
Lions Club proposal had been
under consideration by the
council.
On further investigation,
however, the service club
decided that the site was not
suitable in terms of location or
facilities for such an un-
dertaking.
In an unrelated move, the
council received $95.43 from the
Lions Club as two percent of their
take at the Lions Club Fair. As

Let's stop litter
— use baskets
Let's have an anti-litter
campaign!
Have you noticed that many
people, and not just children, are
dropping their various wrappers
where they are, rather than
carrying them a few more steps
to a litter basket?
I wonder what their own yards
and homes are like? Why do they
think the council provided such
excellent litter baskets?
Keep our village clean!
