Man.. of Lucan lukewarm over county restructuring LUCAN - Lucan Village Council have not given a warm welcome to the province's plans to restructure county governments. The plan, which calls for the integration of small municipalities, received mixed, reviews at council's regular meeting last Tuesday. Councillor Tom McLaughlin pointed out that the restructuring proposal calls for municipalities with no less than 4,000 as a popu- lation. "Lucan, Biddulph and Granton would give us just over 4,000," he said, noting that Lucan and Bid- dulph have a fair number of ongo- ing disputes. Reeve Norm Steeper agreed. "The interests of the rural and ur- ban municipalities do not coincide and you always have those frictions on council," said Steeper. Councillor Larry Hotson doubted a larger joint -municipality would accomplish any more for the tax- payers. 'Bigger does not necessarily mean better," he said, suggesting Lucan and Biddulph councillors work harder for their voters than London Aldermen. In other business. council consid- ered a petition asking for both a stop sign or "children playing" signs in Lucan's Whitfield Acres subdivision at the intersection of Willow Avenue and Gibson Cres- cent. Nearby homeowners complain of motorists speeding in the subdivi- sion. Council argued that the only sensible solution would be a stop sign because "children playing" signs have little meaning when children play near all Lucan streets. The public works committee will be discussing a course of action at their meeting. Council approved a bylaw setting new mill rates for the 1989 budget. The residential mill rate increased 9.63 percent to 76.002 from last year's 69.324. However, the vil !age's portion of the $712,632 bud- get increased only 4.57 percent to $239,999. The bulk of the increases came from the Middlesex County levy which went up 25.74 percent, and the secondary school levy which in- creased 24.32 percent as opposed the elementary budget with only a 0.11 percent increase. Living Word Church LUCAN - Living Word Congre- gational Church in Lucan continues to meet in the Auditorium of the Lucan Public School at 10:30 a.m. each Sunday. Morning worship began with Sunday school children singing songs with actions and reciting Bible verses, Matthew 1:21, Luke 2:11 and John 1:1 closing with prayer then on to their classrooms. The service began by greeting each other then singing old and new favourite songs. The message was The Giver of All Good Gifts. Scrip- ture was Ephesians 4:1-13. We are studying spiritual gifts and we find that each believer is given certain gifts by God Himself. What gift has God given you? As believers we realize God has given us a gift and that we should make use of that gift towards others. The Bible Study groups continue to meet this week along with the Youth Group as well. Today was Communion Sunday which is a re- minder that man called Jesus, at one time human like you and I gave His life for each one of us.
