He said it was strictly a civil matter, although he hinted that a.property owner could have such a vehicle towed away at the car owner's expense, The area in question is in front of the apartment building near the Exeter arena, where hockey fans often park in the tenants' parking lot or even block the driveway. "It's a rough situation," Joe Wooden stated. He also complained of trucks double-parking on Main St. in areas where they could pull into the curb because no cars are parked. Wooden said he didn't think delivery trucks should be allowed to double-park on the Main St. at all, Chief MacKenzie, referring to Exeter council last week gave Chief C. H.

H, MacKenzie and two councillors appeared at coun- cil session with the same project in mind —to either prohibit or restrict the sale of fireworks. Their actions stemmed from complaints over local youths set- ting off firecrackers in various locations, including a report that some had been tossed inside a man's house on John St. "It's a silly setup when mer- chants continue to sell, fireworks two months before May 24 and the police have to chase around town trying to stop people from setting them off," complained councillor Ted Wright. He suggested a bylaw be passed prohibiting the sale of fireworks until two or three days before the May holiday. Wright said the present situa- tion was "like giving akid a candy and asking him not to suck it." Members of council were under the impression that the town had a bylaw restricting the setting off of fireworks, but Clerk Eric Car- scadden said he had been unable to locate it, It was finally decided to have the protection to persons and property committee draft a by- law controlling the sale and set- ting off of fireworks in the munic- ipality. During the discussion, Reeve Boyle noted those letting off fire- crackers were not kids, but teen- agers and even adults who should know better especially those who toss firecrackers onto the ice at the local arena.
