HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1967-06-08, Page 3The Exeter Police De- partment issued a warning just before prets time that "house repairmen" are again working in the district and that residents should be cautious about entering into contracts with them, Constable Irwin Ford was advised during the afternoon that repairmen were working at the home of an elderly Ex- eter lady and the informant said he didn't like the looks of the situation. On investigation, Ford found the men had cleaned out the eavestrough and patched a small part of the verandah roof and had charg- ed $75 for the work. He said the work looked like something that should only cost about $25, adding that the men had been at the house for less than an hour. Constable Ford advise d the lady she should stop payment on her cheque to the men so the situation could be checked, but when he took her to a local bank found the men had already been in to have the cheque certified so payment couldn't be stopped, 11€ said this led him to believe they were of ques- tionable character. He urged all residents — and especially elderly people or those who advise them -- to be cautious in hiring un- known men to do any work for them, especially from door- to-door solicitation. It's been pointed out many times before, that lo c al tradesmen can be hired to do the same work, and their rates are usually only a por- tion of that charged by these operators.

Ontario Provincial Police Con- stable Don Perkins of the Grand Bend detachment said he was in his police car on the other side of the Ausable River from where the cruiser was being repaired when fire erupted.

Urge checks At the suggestion of Councillor Ted Wright, the Exeter police department will conduct safety checks of local motorcycles this year. Wright told Police Chief C. H. MacKenzie he has seen several bikes that had badly worn tires and suggested they be put through a safety check and pulled off the road if the tires were in a dang- erous condition, Chief MacKenzie indicated his department would follow the sug- gestion. Councillor Joe Wooden also urged the police to check on motorcycles that app eared to have no mufflers. "How can you tell the differ- ence?" Reeve Boyle questioned. In the May police report, Chief MacKenzie listed the following information; two reportable ac- cidents with damage of $1,100; two charges under the Criminal Code; four under the Liquor Con- trol Act; 11 under the Highway Traffic Act; four under town by- laws, all for violations of the new fireworks regulations; three parking violations; 36 complaints investigated.

Three central school boards in Huron riding will benefit by more than $20,000 annually from the recent extension of the On- tario Department of Education's capital grants program, Huron MPP Charles MacNaughton re- ports this week. The amount represents savings to ratepayers in five municipal- ities of up to 1 1/2 mills on this year's tax rates. Hay Township School Area, whose levy also applies in Zur- ich and Hensall, will get ap- proximately $6,500 in additional grants this year toward debenture costs of school projects in both villages, The increase is the equivalent of 1.58 mills. Stephen's school board will re- ceive an additional $5,760 annual- ly over the lifetime of the de- benture for that township's new central school. This equals ap- proximately one mill of the I in area board's levy. which affects Grand Bend, Township Clerk Wilmar Wein Said this and other increased educational grants permitted the board to reduce its rate by 1 112 mills this year. For the new Huron Centennial School at Brucefield, the Increase this year is about $2,500 or roughly half a mill. Next year, however, when the first debenture costs are met, the additional as- sistance will amount to $9,500 or about 12/3 mills, This relief for municipal rate- payers results from the recent announcement by Education Min- ister William G. Davis that the new capital grants program would be made retroactive to the cal- endar years 1965 and 1966, Pre- viously the new grant plan applied only to approvals granted from 1967 on.
