Cecil Lewis informed Lucan Council members Monday night that if his firm is to continue making garbage pick-ups in the 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.

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.

There will be about four hours of song and laughter and dancing if you so desire.

"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.
