board had not yet secured the
services of a qualified librarian,
up .g
down several requests in the past
few weeks.
Councillor Joe Wooden sug-
gested that some of the trouble
spots should be considered for
next year, although sewer con-
struction will be at a minimum
due to the heavy menditure the
town will face in reconstruction
of Main St.
Wooden said he was getting
"somewhat disturbed" over the
delay in getting this year's con-
struction underway. and he was
advised work was expected to
commence this week.
In other business, council:
Asked Clerk Carscadden to
inform works Superintendent
James paisley that members of
the town crew and contractors
are not to turn on fire hydrants
without permission from the
PUC. The latter complained that
water had been used in the past
contrary to an agreement between
the PUC and council. Manager
Hugh Davis explained it was not
a matter of concern over the
loss of water revenue, but rath-
er the possibility of damage to
the hydrants by persons not fam-
iliar with their operation.
Instructed the clerk to write
the OWRC to determine if it Is
possible to start construction on
the Pryde Boulevard storm drain
immediately, The project has
been approved by the Ontario
Municipal Board but approval is
also required from the OWRC.
Turned over to the police com-
mittee a suggestion by Councillor
Newby that a stop sign be erect-
WON'T PICK UP
Local residents who somehow
managed to get garbage cans from
CFB Centralia, aren't as lucky
as they may have thought.
Councillor Wiese said the gar-
bage collectors had complained
to him that the cans were too
large and required two men to
lift them. He said they weigh 60
pounds when empty.
It was suggested by Councillor
Wright that the cans could not
be used under the terms of the
local bylaw and residents who use
them should be so advised.
Council indicated that after the
warning had been issued, the gar-
bage men should be instructed to
no longer service customers us-
ing the large cans.
A further request for sanitary
sewer was presented to council
by Don MacGregor, who said the
residents on Huron St. just east
of the Edward St. intersection
were very anxious to have the
service due to their present san-
itary problems,
The matter was briefly dis-
cussed, but again members noted
the budget for sewers had been
depleted for this year and the
work could not be undertaken,
They have been forced to turn
Expo 67 at Montreal has four
medical centres on the site, and
eight first aid posts to deal with
emergencies.
Many years of practice
As the sign says, ,cA hundred years of practice and we still sound the same". This was the placard on
the float carrying the Dashwood Band in Sunday's parade at the village's Centennial observances. More
than 600 persons attended the event which was featured by the official opening of Dashwood Centennial
Park. Harry Hoffmsn Dashwood bandmaster for many years gathered up many of the old faithful for
the gala occasion. T-A photo
The new Huron county librat'y
system continues to meet with
problems.
Councillor George Vriese told
council this week that the two
local librarians were *.r e ally
disappointed" with the books they
had received in the first shipment
from the central library board.
He said the books were cheap"
and there was no demand for them
as no one wanted to read them.
Vriese told council the two lib-
rarians had submitted their list to
the board and not one book they
had listed had been received.
This promoted Mayor Del-
bridge and Deputy-Reeve Cud-
more to suggest there may have
been a mixup and the books re-
ceived may have been intended
for another library, with Ex-
eter's shipment going elsewhere.
However, Reeve Boyle read a
letter from the county board in-
dicating that the Goderich library
was also unhappy with the books
they received.
“We're worse off than before
the new system came into being,"
Councillor Wooden commented.
Boyle replied it was only nat-
ural there would be ((some bugs"
until the system got rolling and
suggested it may take up to a year
before the system is working
well.
Be also reported the county
GB council Increased drainage
forces long meeting
Increased drainage grants have
spurred considerable activity for
area councils as their ratepayers
take advantage of the increased
financial aid to repair existing
drains and build new ones,
At their regular June meeting,
Usborne council spent much of
their time in discussing drainage
works. They met for seven hours
and then had a special meeting
last week to discuss the Elim-
.„"
IA.T_ F rfzLourt
vine drain in particular.
They had received one request
to have the drain repaired, and in
view of the large number of
residents involved with the drain,
decided to call a special meeting.
The result was that it was
decided to go ahead with the
repair and engineer James
Howes, Listowel, was asked to
survey it.
About 150 ratepayers are in-
volved in the drain and pay for
repairs on the basis of the or-
iginal assessment.
The complaint of W. J. Gard-
iner and others on the Stewart
drain was also reviewed at the
regular meeting and the com-
plaint was accepted and Howes
appointed engineer to report on
the matter.
C. P. Corbett, Lucan, was ap-
pointed engineer on the Miller,
Tuckey and Rowcliffe petitions.
Completion certificates were
received on the Harris and Prout
drains and council directed that
all bills be paid and the applic-
ation for grants forwarded.
In other business at the two
meetings, council:
Agreed that the road super-
intendent shall charge $1.35 per
yard for gravel supplied to rate-
payers during road gravelling
operations.

pare the township's history for
a special centennial issue of The

es and eight warnings.

corded and six liquor charges

Exeter park
— Continued from front page
Due to lack of numbers, the
Exeter Teen Town managed to
collect only $60 in their canvass
for funds for the fireworks,
Thursday. However, they hope to
complete the collection this week
and the Board of Trade will be
canvassing local merchants.
Council has ordered $1,000
worth of fireworks and had hoped
to get this amount back in don-
ations.
IMPROVE PARKING
Councillor Ted Wright termed
parking at the park uterrible"
and suggested that the parking
on the main road at the picnic
area be confined to the east
side only.
HO said the present conges-
tion was dangerous with children
running back and forth and noted
there was ample parking avail-
able at the south of the park.
While council agreed with his
suggestion, no formal motion was
approved as to the disposition of
the matter.
Wright also urged that more
garbage cans be placed around
the park. HO said if there were
cans available, he was sure
people would use them to keep
the park clean.
