Movers Drop Request
After Angry Protests
A moving company, which bas
a branch officein Exeter, volun-
tarily withdrew its application to
use an apartment house for stor-
age purposes after the suggestion
raised a storm of protest from
ratepayers.
Mayor R, E. Pooley .announced
at a special. council meeting Fri-
day night that James Wedge, of
Wedge the Mover, said he would'
not use the building if neighbours
objected.
The neighbours did object' M ..
and in no uncertain terms, They
presented apetition to, Council
demanding that the permission
be refused. Several of the signers
presented their arguments in
person, tee.* ,
Some hot words were ex-
changed between the mayor and
some of 'the petitioners-

question is known as Snyder
Apartments on Andrew Street,
near. Riverview Park.
Council has still .not made any
decision over the purchase of
equipment for maintenance of the
dump. Mayor Pooley and Coun-
cillor Ross Taylor were appointed
a committee to bring in a report
at the next meeting.
Several members visited a
number of municipal .refuse
grounds .between here and To-
ronto last week, and reported that
most are in far worse shape than
the local dump ever was.
There is still some doubt as to
whether the town will purchase
'a machine, After their tour, some
members felt it may still be
more economical to hire the work
done rather than sinking •$5,500
into a machine which would not
be able to do a•thing else.
Drain Work Foiled
Council authorized a district
contractor to start work imme-
diately en the drain . beside
Andrew Street south, but was
foiled in its plans because• the
engineer, B. M. Ross, Goderich
was in hospital, The project will
be delayed at least a week.
The air .cadets of, Goderich
were given permission to hold a
tag day in town.
Mrs. Edna Glaab directed ,the
Exeter production. In the cast
were Bob Russell; Gwen Whil-
smith, Rita Smith. and Frank
Wildfong.
The Listowel play, directed by
Kay Jordan, was A. A,� Mime's

were .a display of costumes of 'the
