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. Charles Mickle returned to Hamilton after spending his vacation with his mother Mrs. Laird Mickle. Mr. Bill Hoy returned to Edmonton after spending the holidays with his parents Mr. & Mrs. Harry Hoy. 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 with their grand-parents Mr. & Mrs. Harry Hoy. They accompanied their parents Mr. & Mrs. Michael Hoy who visited with the former’s parents Mr. & Mrs. Harry • Hoy back to London after the holidays. Mr. & Mrs. Wm. Fink and family, Mr. & Mrs. Brian Fink and Lorena, Mr. & Mrs. Harry Hoy and Bill, and Mrs. T. Fletcher had a family reunion with Mr. Ed Fink at his home at Pte. Clark during the holidays.

Your body! 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? Canadian National Railways and its tracks con­ tinue to evoke the ire of council with the quest visually Knight. Mrs. Oke said from CN was stating that a yearly of fee of $15 must be paid to the railway at the point where the storm sewer goes under the right of way. “That’s stupidity,” said Knight, with councillor Harry Klungel adding jokingly “That’s what you get in a democracy”.

T-A photo 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.

Miss Mary Thompson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Thomson, returned Tuesday to Fort Frances, where, she is teaching high school, after spending the holidays at her home: if he had any other alter­ natives if “We don’t accept the salary proposal”. Mr. • 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. Council decided that it should have more informa­ tion as to what can be done to provide compensation and 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 from $25 to $30; and an ad­ 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 but said that some of the previous problems reported have cleared up. Councillor William Brown suggested 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. Council passed a borrow­ ing by-law for $6000,000 to meet current expenditures of the township until taxes are collected in order to carry on township business. iiiiiiniiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii The Light Touch $ • FRESHEN THE AIR • PROTECT HOME FURNISHINGS • PREVENT STATIC ELECTRICITY .
