Exeter Council —Continued from Page 1 Reeve McKenzie said the health unit official had reconl- mended two heavy 'bulldozers owned by operators in Wingham and Blyth. The clerk wag instructed to write these owners for prices for use of their machines. 'Councillor R, D. Jermyn asked if the Health Unit's recommenda- tion constituted a condemnation of the dump. Clerk C. V. Pickard, who read the Unit letter, suggested it was more in the nature of a suggest- ion that it could be improved. Councillor R. C. Dinney asked: "'Does it mean we have to do it?" Reeve McKenzie said he did not believe the Unit' would press the issue. Councillor R. D. Jermyn re- ported his committee had auth- orized repair of the town gates at the south end at a cost of $100. Charles Stephen, of P1 m - Ville, is doing the work. Reeve McKenzie reported the county had finished repairing and; resurfacing Huron and Wellington Streets. Ratepayers Hugh Davis and Bob Luxton, of Marlborough St., asked council to connect the side- walk in front of 'their Homes to sidewalks leading to the down- town area. They had requested a connecting link in their original petition but the sidewalk had Just extended across the five houses' in the area, Councillor Andrew Snelgrove, who is in charge of sidewalk construction, said• ,council expected more con- struction in that area next suni- nier and after it was completed the sidewalk would be extended. Instead of .hiring sdde`valk con- struction, council has put the public works' erew on the job in an effort to save on costs. No action was taken on a com- plaint from Mrs. Ewart Pyin, of Slices St., about the conditioli of a septic tank and weeds on property owned by Councillor Ralph Bailey 0e. the same street. Mrs. Pyin charged the tank was faulty and bad overflooded, cre- ating an. odor and a hazard for children In the arca, Mr. Bailey has several cottages on the property which he rents. Councillor Batley replied the tank had been constructed under the supervision of the Iluroti County health 'Unit and that the weeds had been cut on Monday. The complaint was left in hitt hands. Council passed the first read- ing of a by-law to +borrow 810,000 by debenture to pay for extension of waterworks by the P.V,Q, Al- though council intends to pass the Eby -law it doesn't plan to "'issue debentures but rather bar- rel/ against it until the PMC, can refund the tnoney train oper- ating revenue.
