Call s.secial session
to study town budget
Council will hold a special
budget in e e tin g Thursday,
April 13, to establish this year's
tax rate, it was decided Mon-
day night.
.At that time estimates of all
departments will be reviewed.
A request from the Exeter
Industrial Promotion Corp'n to
budget $1,000 for its expenses
during the year was referred
•to the budget :meeting.
The corp'n, which requested
the $1,000 earlier but received
only $500, pointed out that pro-
vincial legislation allowed the
municipality to spend up to
one mill, or about $2,700, on
promotion. In view of this, the
$1,000 budget did not seem
unreasonable, it was suggest-
ed.
The corp'n also pointed out
that, by establishing the allo-
cation at the $1,000 level an-
nual, the investment in indust-
rial promotion could be kept
constant over a period rather
than jumping it to an abnerm-
ally high amount in any one
particular year.

Town not responsible
Engineer B. M. Ross told
council he did not believe the
town was responsible for the
flooding of gardens and yards
west of the public and high
school properties, which has
been a contentious problem for
several years.
Mr. Ross agreed the schools
may be partly responsible for
the condition but he noted the
high school, at least, had made
attempts to control the flood-
ing 1»"installing a catch basin.

alleviate the situation, he felt.
The engineer recommended

basins at the corner of An-

draining in the area.

said it constituted no small
challenge, "However, I ant

cess if every Huron citizen

R. E. Pooley, of Exeter, re-
