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

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.
In other business council:

$3,489.12 toward the 1958 recrea-
