Tirrms-Advocete, September 7, 1947 Pogo 3 The Smith report on taxation recently preSented to the pro- Vincial government, apparently isn't of much interest to members of Exeter council. Few were interested in even ordering a, free copy from the department of municipal affairs, although they finally agreed to do so at the urging of Mayor Jack Deibridge. One of the main reasons coun- cillors weren't interested in the three-volume report is the fact it contains over 1,500 pages. Discussion indicated Mayor Deibridge had studied several news reports on the major tax- ation structure changes suggest- ed in the report. He also concluded the meeting by asking members their opinions on the report's recommendations towards regional government. "It will be here within five years," Reeve Boyle opined. He said Perth and Huron County councils were already moving toward that end with the suggested amalgamation of the two county health units. Mayor Deibridge predicted re- gional government would end up Mery Cudmore that Crown At- torney William Cochrane had sug- gested the lighting in the up- stairs of the town hall was not adequate for court sittings, The tables are also shaky. Cudmore said he would look into the mat- ter. costing more money, but Reeve Boyle pointed to the high cost of operating county councils now. know, but you guys are ex- travagant," Mayor Delbridge chided to end the brief discus- sion. In other business, council: Granted permission for the La- dies Auxiliary to South Huron Hospital to hold a tag day on September 30, Received a letter of congratu- lation from the Grand Bend Chamber of Commerce over the success of Funday. The letter congratulated all groups helping organize the event. Learned that the governments' winter works program would be cut to five months this year and would not apply on maintenance work.

Police checks find 14 doors unlocked Exeter's businessmen wer e apparently in too much of a hurry to get to their summer cottages or out on the golf course during the month of August. Police Chief C. H. MacKenzie reported to council Tuesday that 14 businesses were found in- secure during the month. In answer to Mayor Delbridge, the Chief indicated most instanc- es involved different stores where doors were left unlocked. However, the situation is a case of more haste, more waste. Every time the police find a door insecure they phone the own- er and ask him to come down and lock the door himself. This is done to make sure nothing has been taken. It sometimes happens very late at night. Chief MacKenzie's report also listed the following: three re- portable accidents with damage of $1,000; five non-reportable crashes With damage of $250; two persons charged under the Criminal Code, four under the Highway Traffic Act and one parking ticket issued; 61 com- plaints investigated; two sum- mons issued for other forces and three investigations conducted for other forces; five unoccupied houses checked; one theft of over $50, that being a car; 199 hours spent at the office by the of- ficers, 149 spent on foot patrol and 167 on motor patrol.

Issue permits for alterations MacKenzie advised council he thought it would be a good idea to paint crosswalks on the var- ious intersections used by stu- dents. Council agreed with his sug- gestion and asked works super- intendent Paisley to paint mark- ers at the Main St. intersections at James,John, Sanders and Vic- toria Streets. It was reported that Gary Coop- er had joined the Auxiliary Po- lice.

It was a request from Morley Hall to renovate lockers and build an addition at Exeter Frozen Foods.

Permission was granted to have the buildings removed, but council stipulated they were not to be set on fire. An Italian restaurateur had a customer the other night who told him, "Your veal parmesan is better than any I had in Italy on my vacation." Said the host, modestly en- ough, ',Of course it is. Over there they use domestic cheese, and here we use imported."

Mr. Patton has been transfer- red here from Newmarket, Ontario where he was as- sistant manager of the Beaver Lumber store. He would like to ex- tend his personal invita- tion to oil Exeter and area residents to drop in to the Beaver Lumber store where he will ex- tend all possible service and cordiality. Mr. Pat- ton and his wife Joan will reside on Huron Street in Exeter. this Sunday, Wednesday afternoon and during the evening throughout the week, GB council — Continued from front page "Our intention is not to sue you," Mrs. Pugh stated, adding that she and her husband only wanted the ride shut down to pre- vent future accidents. Mr. Pugh also noted they were not attempting to make any mone- tary gain, but were only interest- ed in seeing that the ride was repaired. At the present time, Grand Bend does not have any bylaws regarding inspection of such rides, although they do collect license fees. The Municipal Act states only that every council MAY pass such regulations. Reeve Ory Wassmann pointed out that members of council are not trained to inspect such rides and have never passed any bylaws regarding inspection. ED NOTE In a previous ac- count of the incident, the T-A reported the inspectors "found the one ride in particular had been repaired and in operational condition". This was correct, as the ride had in fact been repaired since the accident and was being oper- ated. However, the headline used on the story said "inspectors say its okay" and this was incorrect and we apologize to the inspectors for the use of the heading. Receive belt and buckle for daring ride Following his daring rodeo ride, Sunday, Bill Brady was presented with a belt and buckle by rodeo com- mittee chairman Dick Roelofson. Standing to the left is Carf Cann, president of the Board of Trade. The belt and buckle was donated by Jim Scott, Sanders St., Exeter. Brady's "Black Dynamite" turned out to be a donkey, but he still got a thrilling ride.

One of the main planks in his Huron campaign is expected to be the work of the provincial gov- ernment in their efforts to get the former RCAF base at Centralia fully developed. He said this was proceeding very well at the pres- ent time, and would bring benefits to the entire riding. The fact that the recent Smith report on taxation is expected to be one of the major discussions during the election, the provincial treasurer is expected to be much in demand as a speaker in the in- terest of candidates across On- tario. As a cabinet minister at the time of the last election he was also on a busy speaking engage- ment that necessitated his abs- ence from the riding, but he still polled a large majority and said he hoped the Huron voters would respond under the same circum- stances this year. "I hope to continue to work for the people of Huron and Ontario," he stated. Hensall council — Continued from front page Negotiations with the town- ships of Usborne, Stanley, Tuck- ersmith, Hibbert and Hay that were started in April in an at- tempt to strike new rates each township would pay to retain the Hensall fire services have seem- ingly fallen apart. Clerk Earl Campbell said the only municipality that he has heard from in several months is the township of Hibbert. They are withdrawing from the Hen- sail agreements and will be call- ing on fire brigades from Mit- chell and Seaforth to service the municipality. In other business, council: Agreed to donate old instru- ments and music of former Hen- sall bands to the Zurich anc district Centennial band. Heard from Road foreman E. R. Davis that the necessary weed cutting and catch basin repairs had been completed and that more gravel was needed for the road shoulders on York Crescent. Approved the following build- ing permits: Mrs. Margaret Ing- ram ; veranda remodelling; Harry Moir, house renovations; Mrs. Pearl Hrratt, kitchen cupboards.
