Hensall supports railway Hensall council at their second regular meeting of 1988, decided to support the town of Exeter's con- cern over the proposed closing of the CNR line between Centralia and llderton. "Even in Hensall, whatever you've got that you lose, it's going to hurt a certain amount," said councillor Butch Hoffman. Ree+re Jim Robinson agreed, not- ing that even though most rail traf- fic to Hensall comes from the north, he did believe that keeping the line open offered an alternative transporation route to industry for the future. Sandy Ingram appeared before council to represent Terry's Drive and Roof Coat, who have the con- tract to repair the roof on the Town Hall. He suggested to council that, instead of gluing the Sanifil roofing material to plywood, it be mechani- cally fastened to tentest. Ingram said the reason for this suggestion was that it was unknown whether or not the glue woulddbc compatible with patching material already in place on the roof. Mechanically fastening the roof would also yield a 15 -year warranty instead of the orig- inal 10 years. Councillor Hoffman voiced some concerns with the suggestion be- cause he could not be sure the deck on the roof would be as durable With the fewer numbcr of mechani- cal fasteners on the roof as opposed to nailing down the plywood before gluing. He suggested that the roof be checked for dry rot before work proceeded. "If there's nothing to hold it to, there's no sense putting it up there." "The best thing for us is to get up there with a flashlight and take a look," agreed Ingram. He promised to bring a report on the roof's condi- tion to the next council meeting. The report of the clerk -treasurer to council included a recommendation that a combination stove and fridge be installed in the Town Hall staff room to make it more useful for lunchtime use. Councillor Hoffman questioned the idea of buying a combination unit, given their high cost. He wondered if a separate fridge and mi- crowave oven would cost less. "That's the thought that crossed my mind," said Robinson, "Why not a microwave." Clerk -Treasurer Luanne Phair will investigate the relative costs of these items and bring the results to council. Reeve Jim Robinson also opened discussion on the future of the council chambers. Council has, at various times, debated the renova- tion of the room without arriving at any definite decision. "At this stage of the game I think we should be looking more at the exterior of the building," said Hoff- man, who thought that while the carpet was in poor condition, he could live with the walls as they am. It's not that bad, compared to the time we spend in it," suggested Ro- binson. "We do need new furniture: a table, chairs and a press table." Councillor Ircnc Davis, who has at times encouraged council to com- mission the making of a new coun- cil .table, to purchase carpeting, and to paint the ceiling, was upset over Hensall Susan Hartman 262-2449 Briefs from council The Village of Hensall will com- Hensall will seek replacement of municatc with'Kitchener lawyer Mr. the Summary Conviction Act with Albert Ostner to find out if he is the Provincial Offenses Act for deal - available to represent Hensall at the ing with parking offenders on with - Official Plan Amendment hearings in the village.
