Clinton Lions Juveniles
Blast Exeter Nine 24.8
Clinton Lions Juveniles unload-
ed terrific display of power again-
st Exeter on Monday evening
when they collected 24 hits and 21
runs to smother the hapless Exe-
ter nine 24.3. Murray Colquhoun,
John Hartley, Don Denomme each
had four hits, Bill Carrick, Harris
Oakes and Jack Cowan were safe
three times, Bill Carrick turned
in a neat pitching chore, holding
his opposition to seven scattered
hits, striking out five in the seven
inning game.
Clinton scored in each inning ex-
cept the ,third but made up for
that in the fourth when seven men
scampered across the plate. The
seventh, which is traditionally
lucky for the home team, proved
to be another big Clinton stanza,
This•time six men dented the plat-
ter before the side was retired.
Exeter although completely out-
classed fought gamely and scored
single . runs in the second, third
and seventh. Parsons and Smith
on the mound for the home club
retired seven men via the strike-
out route.

rich Township, Ed. Grigg, Reeve 3,

assistance, and Reeve Nediger
thanked the councillors. and reeves
of neighboring municipalities for
the interest they had shown by
their presence.
Question Period
M. 3. Agnew: How do you
handle the older built-up area?
Can we curtail the building of gar-
ages, for instance, close to the
sidewalk?
Crockford: That is not a job for
the planning board, but for the
council. They have power to pass
by-laws governing such building
and the building inspector must
enforce it.
Agnew: Clinton has no building
inspector, except in the case of
fire hazards, when the fire chief
passes on that, and Council issues
a permit, What would it cost to
hire a man as building inspector?
Crockford: Salaries differ in dif-
ferent areas. In Scarborough a
rookie policeman receives $3,100 in
comparison with the $2,300 paid
here. Would advise a man versa-
tile enough to be building and
plumbing inspector, then the cost
would probably not be prohibitive.
The council should have passed
zoning and setting -up of allowable
setback from sidewalk by-laws
years ago. However, until this is
done a blanket by-law could make
building subject to the inspector's
discretion,
Mayor Miller: Should cost of re-
placed sidewalk be paid for under
Local Improvement?
Crockford: Not advisable.
W. E. Perdue; Who should bear
the dost of installing a lateral
from the sewerage main to the
property?
Crockford; The property owner
should pay cash in advance.
Rev. D. J. Lane: Have you had
success in equalizing sewerage
rates?
Crockford: This is difficult.
However, infiltration of commun-
ism is a great danger, If you put
an unbearale load on the worker,
his mind is fertile ground for in-
doctrination of communism. We
must err in favouring the workers

if any -one.
L. G. Winter explained the of,
Acuity evident in Clinton concern"
ing development of housing along
the edges of town, and subsequent
requests had annexation after
ding ad gone forward,
Crockford: Cannot control build,:
lug outside of town without the
co-operation of a county planning
board.
Mayor Miller; What concessions
do you give factories to entice
them to settle in your municipal-
ity?
Crockford: None, It is not legal
to do so, We buy land, service it
and add the cost of these services
to the cost of land. No concessions
whatsoever are given to factories.
Harry Ball: When the industrial
area is set aside, do you recom-
m ndartha tthe municipality buy
thearea, for resale to industry.
Crockford; One reason the muni
icipalities do not get industry is
because there is no land available
immediately. Private property
owners will raise the price so it is
prohibitive for buyers. The muni-
cipality should buy the land -under
the Industrial Sites Act. "A, muni-
cipality without land for sale is as
badly off as a merchant without
anything on his shelves."
