Council tabled the proposal 10 - seek feedback from local service groups, but in the meantime they were informed by their solicitor, they couldn't specifically apply a curfew bylaw to a certain area as it would have to be municipal -wide. "it meant putting the entire vil- lage under curfew, which obvious- • • ly isn't workable," said Clerk Ron Reymer. Council already has the support of the First Lucan Scouts and is waiting for a response from the Li- ons Club and the Optimists before they attempt to pass the new re- stricted park hours at a future meeting. Waste management HURON COUNTY - The sooner the county . can get out of waste management, the better says Huron County's head planner. Gary Davidson told county coun- cil at its. regular February meeting that the planoing department had' heard the wishes. of council at a -waste 'management planning meet ingin Clinton last fall. But for now, - "the :county continues to work on a waste management master plan - which would serve the county well into the next century. . • .The plan calls for each rnunici:• • -pality, when it runs out of space its landfill site, to• use either Morris • Township or Exeter's landfill sites. Wingham will be the first to run out of space at its landfill site, like- ly in.the next -live years.. Neither Exeter nor Morris Town- ship has yet agreed to the plan, but both are interested, as long as com- pensation is forthcoming. Coun. Mason Bailey•of Blyth re- iterated his council's concerns that -they should pay nothing into any other site unfit they: need it. - "Our landfill :site doesn't need anybody else's help," he said. Re- cent tests have revealed that Blyth's - landfill site could be excavated and half of its contents recycled. &review of the suitability.of the Morris, and. Exeter sites will be completed by the next planning and development committee meeting Feb. 17. - SAVE ,�IO SAVE 5% ON ALL PURCHASES OF PEONEERs• . BRAND PRODUCTS FROM JANUARY 12.
