Times-Advocate, 1979-01-10, Page 15Attempt to resolve
who pays the bill
While it’s been two
months since the last
meeting between Hensail
council and representatives
of the A. and G. Reid sub
division, it’s still up in the
air who will pay for study of
the village’s water system.
Late last year, the
developers had asked coun
cil to pay 75 percent of the
cost of the study which
would determine if the
village’s water .system hatf
enough pressure to ade
quately fight fires if they oc
curred at opposite ends of
the village.
The village made a
counter-proposal that the
developer and village share

Mr. Bill Hoy returned to
Edmonton after spending the

Sgt. Doug Wein of the
R.C.M.P, Mrs. Wein and
David returned to Ottawa
after spending the holiday
season with Mrs. Wein’s
parents Mr. & Mrs.,Harold
Parker and members of the
family. Prior to returning,
their family surprised them
with a family gathering at
which time they were
presented with a pair of
lamps in honour of their 15th
wedding anniversary.
Aaron and Alyson Hoy of
London spent the holidays

visited with the former’s
parents Mr. & Mrs. Harry

the cost equally but accor
ding to clerk-treasurer Bet
ty Oke, the village has not
received any word from the
developer.
Reeve Harold Knight and
other council members said
there had been various un
confirmed reports in the
village that Reid’s option on
the land which is at the
south end of the village had
expired.
He added PUC manager
Lome Archer had told him
he thought the water study
was needed anyway.
Mrs. Oke said before the
village could proceed with
its proposed annexation of
portions of Hay and
Tuckersmith townships, the
Ontario Municipal Board
would require a water study.
Cost of the study has been
estimated at between $3,800
and $4,500.
“My own opinion is that
for $1,000, I’d hate to see the
subdivision plan scrapped,”
Knight stated and added it
was virtually impossible to
buy a serviced lot in Hen
sall.
Later on in the meeting,
council decided to ask
representatives of Reid to
appear before council in
February m an attempt to
resolve the water study
issue.
Members of the parks
board and council had the
law laid down in December
as the Liquor Licence Board
of Ontario made it quite
clear they were intent on en
forcing their regulations.
Mrs. Oke, Knight, arena
manager Roily Vanstone
and Butch Hoffman of the
parks board appeared before
Eber Ride,- chairman of the
liquor group and were told it
was up to the parks board to
ensure the groups renting
the hall lived up to the re
quirements of the special oc
casion permit.
At the meeting, the village
representatives were asked
by Rice to furnish the liquor
board with a copy of the ren
tal agreement which the
parks board signs with the
various groups. An official
of the board was to furnish
the parks board with a sam
ple agreement, something
which according to Mrs. Oke
has not arrived yet?

Hensall supports
pornography ban
■ Hensall council gave their
full support to resolution
from the town of Oakville
which called for the banning
of pornographic materials
and acts in the province.
The letter which was in
itiated by St. Dominic’s
Parish of Oakville said the
province should enact
legislation to “prohibit the
^exploitation of women and
sex as a means to financial
gain by any business or in
dividual”.
Following a period of
silence after clerk-treasurer
Betty Oke had read the
letter, Reeve Harold Knight
said it was -his understand
ing minister of consumer
and commercial relations
Frank Drea was about to in
troduce legislation to
municipalities power
alleged pornographic
and materials.
Councillor Klass
Wieren said he supported
the resolution.
Knight then stated while
he had his own ideas what
constituted pornography,
the judges of the country
had not been able to come up
with a definition.
“Personally, I feel the
material should not be on
the newsstands and there
should not be topless dan
cing but then on the other
hand, there are people who
think otherwise,” stated
councillor Harry Klungel.
Klungel added council was
elected to represent the peo
ple of Hensall and he felt the
ratepayers would support
the resolution.
Knight drew a humorous
reaction from the council
when he said “There’s no
safe place,” with regards to
the possibility of topless
entertainment being in
troduced to village. “All it
takes is money.” the reeve
added.

Tuckersmith Council had
a request from its building
inspector, Herman
VanWieren of R.R. 1, Hen
sail, that he be put on salary
rather than on contract. He
said that his contract called
for him to make four inspec
tions on a house being built
and that this is often not
enough.
As well, Mr. Van Wieren
said he could be covered by
Workman’s Compensation if
he were on salary, but not
when on contract and he
wanted insurance to protect
him. He said detailed
reports are kept of his in
spections to protect him and
the township from future
lawsuits and these records
must be kept for six years.
Mr. Van Wieren is
building inspector for
Tuckersmith, Stanley, and
Usborne Townships, Town
of Seaforth and villages of
Hensall and Bayfield. He
said one day to a week for
each community would be
enough for his inspections
and would combine one day
to do Hensall and Bayfield.
He is asking for a total of
$12,0Q0 a year plus 12 cents
per kilometer for mileage
with Tuckejsmith’s share,
$3,360 per year plus mileage.
Compensation
Clerk Jack McLachlan
questioned if the township
could provide this compen
sation. Mr. Van Wieren said
because he is self-employed
and is under contract with
the township then he can’t
be covered. s
Mr. McLachlan said his
understanding was because
the building inspector is only
a part-time employee and
not under direct supervision
of council then he could not
be covered by the township.

• Van Wieren said then he
would have to be paid on the
number of inspections he
deems it necessary tcPmake.
He said it would vary as
some construction requires
more inspections.

should have more informa
tion as to what can be done

insurance and tabled the
motion until the next
meeting on January 16.
In Private
The press representative
was asked to leave the room
when W. Floyd Jenkins,
Huron Assessment Officer,
appeared before council to
provide information on
assessment values on cer
tain properties in the
township. Council met in
committee-of-the whole
behind closed doors for
almost an hour.
Robert Allan of Brucefield
attended the council
meeting on behalf of James
McDonald who has been ac
cused of harbouring and
feeding a pack of stray dogs
which have been responsible
for loss of seven geese own
ed by a neighbour. Council
has ordered Mr. McDonald
to destroy the dogs. .Mr.
Allan said he would assist
Mr. McDonald in destroying
the animals.
Mr. Allan said he was sure
that Mr. McDonald did not
realize that when he fed the
strays the dogs were con
sidered to be his respon
sibility.
Council passed a by-law
increasing the dog tag fees
in the township: first male
dog to be raised to $6 from
the present fee of $5; a first
female dog from $10 to $12;
second female to be raised

ditional number of males
over two to remain the same
at $30 each and -for ad
ditional females to be raised
to $50 from $30.
Road superintendent Allan
Nicholson reported he is get
ting the odd new complaint
about the color and odour of
the water in Egmondville

previous problems reported

that the road superintendent
investigated having a
purifier put on the system at
the township well if the
problem persists.
Jack Bell was re
appointed to the committee
of adjustment for another
three-year term. Others‘on
the committee are Elgin
Thompson and Cleave
Coombs.

ing by-law for $6000,000 to
