Fegular December' meeting. T;+io; dozen ratepayer }squeezed into the ebathber.and another dezen later arrivals had'to make do with standing room only in the hall,;A(1 were concerned and alarmed by press .reports indicat(ug ;council was pro- ceeding with extensive novation to the town ball estimated to cast up to S450,000. Alma Dayman, Sam Taylor. Bill Taylor, Bill Bengougb, Janis and Peter Bisback and George Parker had given clerk Betty Oke prior notice they wished. to make verbal submissions. Adrian Bayley, Jini Sangster, Dr. Goddard, Jack Lavender and Campbell Eyre were among those who also spoke. The tenor of all arguments was in accord - the project was not needed, the cost was prohibitive, would place an onerous burden on taxpayers who felt taxes were already too t high and the money could be spent to much greater advantage in trying to attract more business and industry to a village that has not grown in population in the past four decades. More than one person mentioned the potsibility of the school being closed, which, d Hensall's worst fears were realized, would provide ample room 'for a municipal building. Others suggested if council need a larger chamber the library could easily be moved to one of the empty stores on main street. Reeve Harry Klungel's comment that "this is not really a meeting to answer questions" received a hot reception. Dr. Goddard requested that the fact "1 asked questions didn't get answers and went home" be noted. Adrian Bayley received applause when he said the preset't"pteeting indicated the need for a public meeting in a large hall to draw up a proper agenda to discuss such matters as whether Ar not the building is worth saving, would it make money, how would it improve the village's lifestyle, facts and figures , on interest charges and heating costs, how the costs Gould be justifiedawhen other facilities for meetings are usually empty, and all ramifications of such an expensive undertaking. He suggested all discussion be cancelled "until it can be handled properly". Bayley asked council to give the ratepay- ers an opportunity to be heard, adding ' you have no choice". When Klungel replied "1 can guarantee you'll hear of our decision", and speculated on how many - or how few - might attend a public meeting, Bayley accused him of Hensall students will have penpals The staff of the local Co-op held their ,Christmas party and dinner at the- Pineridge Chalet on Friday evenint Correspondent BERTHA MacGREGOR 262-2025 The Hensall Three Links Senior Citizens enjoyed a bountiful Christmas dinner in the local hall on Tuesday evening with a good representation of members.
