Set fees for permits Times-Advocate, June 15, 1978 Page 19 Hensail adopts building code Hensail became another municipality which has officially adopted the Ontario Building Code with the passage of the enabling bylaw at the June meeting of council held Monday. Reeve Harold Knight said the village could not change the contents of the Code since it was already a provincial statute. The only item which the village has control over is the setting of the fees. _____________________ The reeve said one of the ing more interested in the ■ , heritage of their local and one way of preserving that heritage is to preserve pic­ tures of yesteryear, was the message that local photographer Brian Richman brought to council. Richman said there are hundreds of old photographs in the village depicting former residents and old buildings. Richman said he had begun making copies of pictures which have been supplied to him by Mrs. Bob Simpson and Mrs. Minnie Noakes. Richman inquired if some form of government funding could be obtained to hire a student to collect the old photographs from Hensall residents and make copies. He said he would be willing to donate his time in helping the student and help finan­ cially. Richmand said such a program could cost in the neighborhood of $1,000. Clerk-treasurer Betty Oke reasons behind this bylaw’s passage was to give the village firm legal footing in the event of a challenge to its authority in issuing building permits, Such a challenge may take place in Colborne township. At the May meeting of Coun­ ty Cpuncil, Huron county planning director Gary Davidson said some legal advisors have said the municipalities can not issue permits unless they have passed the necessary bylaws enforcing the building code. Council’s concern was that the implementation of the bylaw would force the price of housing up in Hen­ sail. Knight estimated the increased cost could run as much as $1,000 per home. The approval of the building code bylaw by coun­ cil was not unanimous with Campbell going on record as opposing the more stringent building regulations.

Horner and the former Bertha Hey of Drysdale and Mrs. Horner is the daughter of the late John Rathwell and the former Sarah Reid of Varna. Mrs. Horner’s cousin, Mrs. John Grigg of Clinton, the former Muriel Rathwell, was a flower girl at the wed­ ding. Mr. Horner’s wedding gift to his bride was a new piano as she enjoyed playing. A graduate of Westervelt Business College in London, Mr. Horner worked for awhile in Toronto but returned to run the general store in Varna in 1911 when he was only 21 years old. In connection with the store he had a horse and wagon to carry groceries and other products to area homes in Stanley, Goderich and Stephen townships. Although trained for business life, love for farm life proved too strong and the couple bought a farm at Varna in 1921 where they liv­ ed for 28 years until moving to Exeter in 1948. At the end of two years the lure of the farm life again was strong and they bought a farm on the eastern outskirts of Seaforth HENSALL NEWS Personals Dr. John Goddard of Berkley University, California visited on the weekend with his parents Dr. & Mrs. Goddard.

In passing the bylaw, a fee of $4 per $1,000 was set as the fee for the construction of new homes and $3 for $1,- 000 for mobile homes. Building renovations will cost $10 for the first $1,000 and $5 per $1,000 thereafter with a minimum charge of $25. A demolition fee of $10 was set with the same amount owing for an oc­ cupancy fee for incompleted housing. Area residents are becom- said the deadline for ap­ plications for most govern­ ment sponsored work programs was April but she would contact the various ministries to see if any funding for such a project was available. Reeve Knight reported the new community centre has received final approval with several items still to be completed. In the hall, several ceiling panels will have to be replaced due to a leaking roof while the arena floor is not up to specifications. On a brighter note. Knight said construction in the arena appears to be ahead of schedule and some of the items which were defficent have been fixed A decision to purchase a new tractor for the arena has been deferred until August with council possibly splitting the new tractor’s cost between the 1978 and 1979 budgets. In other business, council: Learned that the ministry of transportation and com­ munications hasallotted$94,- 000 for the construction of a storm sewer. This is down from $110,000 which the ministry had allotted one year ago. The project which would involve stream alteration work on Black creek, was delayed due to an objection from the ministry of natural resources. Received several com- plaints over the large amounts of water in the village following Monday’s heavy rains. Knight said the village could do little about the problem as the ministry of transportation and com­ munications determines the size of storm sewers on 80 percent of the average rain­ fall over five years. Endorsed a resolution from the town of Geraldton asking that municipal borrowing not be affected by the debt of the school boards within its jurisdictions. After the resolution was passed. Knight quipped “If you can’t tell them what books to read, can you tell them what money to borrow?” Passed a resolution from the town of Strathroy which called for volunteer fireman to be paid workman’s com­ pensation benefits on a regular five day work week rather than on seven days as is presently done.
