At their meeting Tuesday night, Hensall Council passed an amendment to the Parking Regulation by-law which prohibits parking on the west side of Elizabeth Street between King and Oxford Streets and on the west side of Nelson Street. between King and Queen streets. Two new by-laws were passed at the same meeting. One authorizes the destruction of certain listed municipal documents no longer required. Clerk - treasurer Betty Oke said that it also requires the retention of some documents that weren't previously kept. The other by-law authorizes current borrowings so that the town may more easily meet current expenditures. Council also passed a motion to cover volunteer firemen with ;10,000 ac- cidental death insurance. A discussion on establishing a truck route in Hensall resulted from councillor Harry Klungel's announcement that he'd been approached by two people requesting such a route. Klungel said that Hensall receives more truck traffic than usual for a small town because of its two mills But reeve Harold Knight said that the matter had been looked into before and a truck route would involve constructing another railway crossing. He said . that large trucks can't take back roads easily because they have a problem turning the corners, and without another railway crossing they'd have to turn back onto Several return the main street. Knight also pointed out the problem of enforcing the truck route. Councillor Richard Packham said that if he were a truck driver he'd want to take the most direct route possible and not have to negotiate a lot of corner. Knight suggested that the, Roads Committee sit down with a map to see what they can figure out. He jokingl1 suggested that a skyway be constructed. Knight announced the decision to stay with the current mercury vapor lighting in Hensall. At the last meeting, the possibility of changing from . the recently installed . mercury vapor lighting to high pressure sodium lighting was discussed. It was found that although the change would beenergy saving, it from maritimes would not save the town any money. In a committee report on the Ausable-Bayfield Con- servation Authority, Klungel brought up the issue of the province's desire to ter- minate one-third of the lots in the Port Franks ,flood plain area. Klungel said that it was causing "quite a problem" because it means people have to move their' cottages or are trying to sell them to those who aren't aware of the situation. Knight said that people shouldn't count on having these lots forever because they only have a ten-year lease. Klungel said that the province wants to shorten the lease to a one year term.
