Investigate hit -ren Exeter police are investigating a hit-and-run Tide t t the sante heavy investment in vehi- cies in the next year or two. Members suggested that a new cruiser, ow garbage truck and a new fire engine would have to be considered soon. A 1.953 model three-quarter ton truck was purchased from Snell Bros. Ltd. at a cost of $600, plus about $100 for repairs and paint- ing. This mae.hirie will he used principally by Sup't Gerald Cor- nish to supervise work about town. Reeve McKenzie, one of the proponents of the purchase, said the operation of the public works crew was inefficient because of lack .of transportatinn. The only vehicle available to the sup't is the farm tractor and consider- able time is being wasted going from job to joh. In addition, the large garbage truck had to he hauled from its run to do small pickup jobs such as getting a few bags of cement. Estimates from three dealers were considered before the job of repairing the police cruiser was given to Larry Snider Mo- tors Ltd. at its bid of $189. The. cruiser needs both bode • and em - gine work. Several councillora felt the ear should he dealt for a new one but, as pointed out by Deputy Reeve Mawhinney, this expendi- ture had not been provided for in the budget nor had the pur- chase of the truck. Councillor Rether suggested the' cruiser, a '54 model, was being dubbed a "gutless wonder" be- cause of its lack of power. He thought it should be traded as, soon as possible. Councillor Taylor, said consi-, deration would have to be given soon to the purchase of a new' truck for garbage collection. The present one is nearly 10 years old. Councillor Musser. a membe of the fire depl, added that new fire -fighting truck was must before long. Approve irrigation system Council gave official approve. to the purchase of the $3,900 ir rigation system for disposal of waste at Canadian Canners Ltd. The purchase had been author-. ized last week by the sanitation committee in consultation with: other members of council. Mayor Pooley reported com- pany officials pleased with the co-operation shown by the town. and the promptness in getting the system into operation to relieve the overloaded lagoon, whose walls were in danger of collapse because of the height of water in the pond. Councillor Taylor, chairman o the drainage committee, re ported the system was working well. It sprays the liquid over company land into which it soaks. Councillor Taylor also said one employee of the company had ex pressed commendation to coun cil for its co-operation which made possible the re -opening of the plant. Consider drainage on Anne Councillor George, R et he r, bringing up the problem for about the fifth time this year, persuaded the drainage commit- tee to call a special meettrig to discuss the surface drainage problem on the west end of Anne street, where he lives. He said the heavy rains over the weekend had created ponds of water two feet on lawns and sidewalks on both sides of the street and they hadn't gone away until. Monday. In the spring, the area had a similar problem. for six weeks, hp maintained. a millet. but finally agreed to- -cal a meeting to discuss the prob lem. Asks far inspection pairing some of the damage to , the iron roof during a recent ; windstorm. They were working near the centre of the building when smoke was noticed coming as m Pooley reported a emu. plaint that an unnamed builder had covered in ditches for septic tank field tile before they were properly cogneeted on one build- ing project in town. He has asked the sanitary engineer of the Huron County Health Unit to investigate. Investigate sale of lots The property committee was instructed to investigate a re quest from Charles Dietrich, Ste phen, to purchase three town lots on John Street west which form a earner nut of a large Nook of land purchased by the digging contractor. Mr. Dietrich pur- chased the block from James Fairbairn. Some couneillors viewed the sale favorably but it was re- called that other lots had been sold only on one condition that they he built upon within a certain time to prevent specula- tion. Councillors Simmons and Re- ther suggested the lots should he sold to the highest hidder hut Mayor Pooley and others pointed out that the 55-220 lots were of awkward size and that, if made part of the rest of the Dietrich property, would allow a more practical sehdivision of the area. Since none of the councillors knew what use Mr. Dietrich plan- ned for the area, it was felt the property committee should deter- mine this before consideration be given to the sale.
