Cooper the only problem is that council has a standing rule that no one gets a key to the town dump unless they are paying to maintain part of the dump such as the Benedix company is. This means Cooper will have to deliver garbage to the dump during the hours when someone is staffing the site. Gasspill Gary Maxwell, Hensail works superintendent, reported he investigated a gas complaint at the home of Bill Petty in the village in the last month. A gas spill from the Benedix plant was washed out into the sewers and since there was no trap on the storm sewer, the smell leaked into the Petty home.

Clerk Betty Oke reported to council that a joint steering committee on energy conservation will assist municipalities in the development of Municipal Energy Conservation programs on the request of the municipality. Reeve Harold Knight said he didn’t think Hpnsall had a need for the program since “the cost Of energy is making us all energy conservationalists.” Reeve Knight said most of the mills in Hensail have also introduced energy con­ servation program them­ selves.

During the 48 hours period, a signed agreement of purchase and sale can be cancelled if the attorney General’s office approves a change in legislation. This protection is already provided' for door-to-door sales under the Consumer Protection Act of Ontario. Council approved a request’ to the Ministry of Revenue to conduct a study of the assessment base under the provisions of Section 86 of The Assessment Act. Clerk Betty Oke said the study is to see the effects of equalizing assessment within different housing classes. In other words, housing will be assessed on a more equal basis, taking into account renovations and changes in market value. The resulting assessments under the study won’t necessarily be higher or result in higher taxation. The Ministry of Revenue has already completed similar studies in a number of other Huron County municipalities. Council approved a request to use the municipal offices for an advanced poll for the federal election on May 12, 14 and 15. Council will use the Huron County library facilities for their council meeting on May 14 so as not to interfere with the polling station. Council also decided to hold monthly committee meetings on the fourth Tuesdayofeverymonth in the future.
