Smith thought a similar sale
could be held in Lucan, possibly
next year, and that the issue should
be discussed at the next meeting of
LUCAN - Lucan's 1988 budget
was approved with a bylaw at Tues-
day's June meeting of council. Vil-
lage taxpayers face a 9.13 percent
increase in the residential mill rate.
The village's general budget' has
increased 18.73 percent this year,
meaning that $639,681 is to be
raised through taxes for village ex-
penditures. Reeve Norm Stccper at-
tributed this increase to unrealistic
provincial funding which docs not
take into account real increases in
costs of construction or mainlen-
nancc.
The county levy has increased
9.49 percent and the elementary
school's share, is up another 10.44
percent, but what saved Lucan from
an even larger mill rate increase was
a drop of 4.3 percent in the secon-
dary school levy.
The Parks and Recreation Com-
mitte presented a report to council,
including a lengthy list of repairs
needed to the village parks and ball
diamonds. Works superintendent
Doug Johnston was not sure, even
with the help of the two SEED
program summer students, if the
work could be completed since
grass cutting takes up most of the
time.
Councillor Bob Hodge raised the
possibility of increasing the staff
Reeve Steeper hoped once the
Community channel is available on
cable later this month, a message
could be broadcast to remind home-
owners that barrels should have a
wire mesh or hinged cover.
The August meeting of Lucan
council has been rescheduled to
July 26.

to receive healing. These blind men
followed Jesus, crying for mercy,
then into the house where Jesus
was, to receive their healing. Heal-
ing takes faith, as Jesus asked them
if they believed He could heal them.
Because healing takes contact, Jesus
touched their eyes as He healed
them. There can be a transmission
of healing virtue in the laying on of
hands when praying for healing, as
