Jack's jottings
by Jack Riddell,
The Minister of
Revenue, the Honourable
Lorne Maeck announced
GAINS level increases.
In January, single
pensioners . who receive
the federal Old Age
Security pension and
Guaranteed Income
Supplement (GIS) will
receive an additional $20
and married couples, if
each spouse qualifies for
GIS, will each receive $10
in their federal cheques.
Infresponsei to these in-
creases in the federal
payments, Ontario has
raised the monthly
GAINS income levels to
$343 ($4,120 annually) for
single recipients and $666
($8,000 annually) for
qualified married
couples. •.
Please note that this is
the first time that the
married rate cannot be
calculated as double the
guarantee for a single
pensioner. This is a result
of the difference in the
increases by GIS by the
federal government.
The following
calculations indicate the
maximum GAINS,
payments to single and
qualified married pen-
sioners :
Old Age Security,
single, $167.21 - married,
$167.2.1 ; Guaranteed
Income, Supplement,
single, $137.28 - married
$114.15; Ontario GAINS,.
$38.88 - married $52.01,
making totals of - single,
$343.37 and married
$333.37.
Pensioners who do not
qualify for the federal Old
Age Security pension
because of the residency
requirements, but do
qualify for GAINS
payments, will receive
the full amount of the $10
and $20 increase directly.
Payments for single
pensioners will increase
to $343.37 and to $333.37
for qualified married
couples.
If you have any
questions about the new
rates or .if you would like
to receive additional

building inspector
Herman Van Wieren on a

spector, Hensall, Stanley,
Tuckersmith, Bayfield,

sensus could not be
arrived on how Van
Wieren's salary could be

Van Wieren said the
salary arrangement
would allow the village to
be better protected.
In his report Van
Wieren said permits
totalling $247,246 had
been issued in 1978.
Slowly but -surely, the
village is making
progress on the Rich-
mond street drain with
the ministry of tran-
sportation and com-
munications finally
signing the drain petition
six months after it was
initiated by the village.
The drain which has
been in the works •for a
number of years will run
on Richmond Street from
Wellington to Highway 4
and along Highway 4 to
the southerly limits of the
town.
While there has been no
firm cost set, it's
estimated the village's
share could be $65,000.
Reeve Harold Knight'
stated "I don't know of
anything that's been
more trying,” and. said
the drain was really more
.important than • the
sanitary sewers.
In other business,
council:
Said they will look into
the installation of lights
at the arena parking lot
with nothing being done
until at least spring. •
