It had been anticipated the rodeo ring could be built to the east of the diamond, but it was found this left it too far from the grandstand. On this basis, the group have formally asked RAP to move the present diamond and lights. The cost of the project will be met by the rodeo supporters, but will be undertaken under the supervision of RAP, Estimated cost is $2,500. The rodeo committee will meet Monday, at which time directors will be appointed from the various groups in the area. The group recently voted to buy out the interest of the three pres- ent organizers of the rodeo at a price of $300. This Includes some equipment. One of the three, Dalton Finkbeiner, immediately turned his $100 share back to the committee. Carf Cann, president of the Exeter Board of Trade, said it Okay Pryde sewer jobs tender is hoped the ball diamond will be moved by June 15. The Labor Day rodeo will be planned for the community park, but the June Quarter Horse Show will be held at the present grounds west of Exeter. Council also approved a in.e- tion to Invite tenders from two contractors for the work so a better idea of the costs involved can be determined.

T-A photo Discuss tornado fund County rate boosted one mill disaster fund to assist Huron County farmers who were vic- time of the tornado which ripped through sections of the county on April 17. Clerk Berry re- called that in June, 1953, $68,148 was raised through federal and provincial sources, b y public subscription and through Huron County Council for the relief of storm victims in the Blyth area. Blyth Reeve Bordon Cook said that Huron County work crews moved bulldozers, chainsaws and trucks into the disaster district be included that farmers plan- ning to rebuild any destroyed buildings should be given special attention. Other committee members appointed to administer county disaster funds are county as- sessor A.A. Alexander and Doug Miles, Huron County Agricultural representative. Grant Stirling, Guderich Town- ship reeve, complained that in- creased pressure should be put on provincial and federal gov- ernments to raise their ante to tornado victims, and at least one member of council, Clifford R. Dunbar indicated that some far- mers covered by ample insurance might be quite happy to "stand on their own feet". Bids opened on dam job OKAY TENDER Tenders for the planned sanit- ary sewer work to be undertaken this year were reviewed and the price of C. A. McDowell Con- struction, Centralia, was accept- ed. His price was listed at $30,- 939 and was the lowest of four received. The highest bid was $63,182, Members expressed concern over running into problems simi- lar to last year when all the work started on sewers was not com- pleted. It was suggested two contract- ors be hired, but members pre- dicted this would increase the cost substantially. Reeve Boyle claimed each street should be completed be- fore another one undertaken. In other business, council: Received a letter from the London Free Press advising the company would pay the damage which resulted when one of their trucks backed into the door at the town hall recently. Were advised by the Exeter District Co-Op that they were attempting to clean up the old coal sheds near their property as quickly as possible, but asked council's indulgence because they were approaching their busytime of the year, The Co-op had been requested by council to clean up the property. Learned that the department of municipal affairs was increas- ing the per capita grant by $1.50 per person. It will now be $4.60 for Exeter, and Clerk Eric Cars- cadden indicated this would be about $4,800 per year. Approved a building permit for Wellington Brock, 46 Gidley St. to shingle a house. Council learn- ed the work was almost com- pleted. Also approved a permit for Eldrid Simmons to build a double duplex on Sanders St. East, sub- ject to the provisions of the zon- ing bylaw and after consultation with the works superintendent re- garding the depth of the sewer in that area. Permission was also granted to Art Clarke to replace 2,000 and 1,000 gallon tanks with a 5,000 gallon one on his Welling- ton St, storage area. Exeter council Friday night continued plans for the Pryde Boulevard storm drain, and then took steps to make certain they will not be faced with such ex- penditures in the future. At the suggestion of Councillor Ted Wright they decided to make it mandatory for subdividers to provide storm sewers in the fu- tore. Councillor Joe Wooden noted that such a stipulation required an amendment to the town's of- ficial plan and at his suggestion the matter was turned over to the planning board for their immedi- ate study. He explained that storm sewers had not been one of the require- ments in the official plan, because it would mean council would have to provide outlets, and at the time the official plan was drawn up, this was not feasible. One member of council noted that if Centralia booms, there could be requests come in for subdivision approvals and the new stipulation should be in force. It was stated that the change in the official plan would not apply to subdivisions already approved. A motion was passed at the meeting that council undertake the Pryde Boulevard storm drain this year. The project had been approved in principle before, but no definite motion to proceed had been passed. Three members of council ap- peared to vote against the plan to proceed. One of them, Councillor Ted Wright, said he was still against a debenture for the drain. However, Wooden said he didn't see how the project could be met from current funds. Wright complained that council didn't even know the cost involved as yet, and asked how long a de- benture would be required. He was told that the anticipated cost of the project was about $32,000 and Wooden said he hoped the debenture issue would be for the shortest period of time pos- sible. He mentioned the time of five years. Wright and Councillor Don MacGregor continued their op- position to the project when coun- cil passed a motion authorizing the clerk to prepare a borrowing bylaw for $18,000 to handle the project. While this represents more than the 50% of the cost to be borne by the town, it was noted the entire $18,000 would not have to be borrowed if not required. at that time to help clean up the debris. Tuckersmith Reeve Elgin Thompson assured councillors that sufficient workmen had been promised but reported that a Huron-Perth Disaster Fund had been set up. He suggested that any money Huron County Council would offer would be matched for dollar by the pro- vincial government. The Warden's and Personnel Committee with Chairman Ken Stewart, McKillop, has been del- egated to administer any Huron County funds to striken Huron farmers. Most councillors felt that far- mers with wind insurance should receive the same consideration as those farmers not protected by insurance, and concurred that a building clause suggested by Warden Don McKenzie should E411111111111111111111111111111111filliffillifillill11111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111E Stephen Central School E Fireworks —Continued from front page periods of the year, the council may grant a permit for the super- vised public display of fireworks by organizations or groups of in- dividuals.

He reported that the Huron seminar was the first of its kind to be held in this part of West- ern Ontario.

County taxes will be slightly higher this year with the general rate increased by one full mill and the highway account remain- ing unchanged. In his report to County Coun- cil, Clerk-treasurer John Berry noted that the new County Public Library System, the Huronview debenture issue and the increase in cost of operations there, an ad- dition to the county museum to the tune of $10,000, increased costs in other departments and the establishment of a disaster fund were to blame for the tight bud- get. The only bright spot in Clerk Berry's report was a reduction of $35,000 made this year in monies payable to the Hospital Reserve Fund in an effort to offset the additional debenture issue. The 1967 budget calls for $612,391.52 to be raised for gen- eral purposes on a rate of nine mills and $632,804.57 to be raised for highway purposes on a rate of 9.3 mills; or a total of 18 mills for county purposes.

Tenders were once again open- ed for the Parkhill Dam, and this time the low bid was $1,881,- 738.00. This was about one mil- lion dollars lower than the highest of the seven tenders received by the Ausable River Conser- vation Authority at their special meeting, Friday. When tenders were called about three years ago, the low bid had been $1,277,138. The Authority recorded the bidders and their respective ten- ders and they were then turned over to M.M. Dillon Limited, consulting engineers, for analy- sis and their recommendation as to the tender which the ARCA should choose. When a recommendation is re- ceived from the engineers, it remains with the Authority to secure approval of this bid from the Ontario government before the contract can be let. It is anticipated the contractor will be on site early in June. The ARCA is tentatively plan- ning its official sod-turning cere- mony for the dam during the second week of June. Officials from all levels of government will be in attendance at that time. Regardless which bid is ap- proved, the share for area com- munities has been set at $210,- 000.

Oesch had been involved in an accident on Highway 83 on April 14 when he pulled out of a side- road into the path of a truck. An accident followed, causing dam- age estimated at $300. No agreement over projects Members of Exeter council spent considerable time deliber- ating increased sanitary and storm sewer work this year, and ended up turning the matter back to the drains committee. Councillor Joe Wooden, drains committee chairman, complained about the action, noting it had al- ready been to his committee for study and they had made their recommendation. The debate started off when Reeve Boyle and Councillor Ross Taylor sponsored a motion that council undertake no further storm or sanitary sewer work this year than already planned and included in the budget. After a 1 e ng thy discussion, Mayor Delbridge put the motion to a vote and Boyle and Taylor eturrned out to be its only support- s. Councillors Joe Wooden and Don MacGregor then presented a motion to instal a sanitary sewer on a small portion of William and Mill St. and to bud- get for a $6,000 expenditure to do storm sewer work in the Mill and Waterloo St. areas. Cost of the storm sewer work to be undertaken would actually be $12,000, but the $6,000 would be the town's share. Again lengthy discussion en- sued and again the vote gained support only of Wooden and Mac- Gregor. It was then on a motion of Councillor Wright and Deputy- Reeve Cudmore that the matter wa s turned back to the commit- tee. EXETER PENTECOSTAL TABERNACLE 53 Main St. Ph. 235.0944 Pastor: Rev. F. E.
