T-A photo The Exeter Police department • will be asked to make recom- mendations regarding all inter- sections that are presently mark- ed with yield signs. Council Monday night start- ed proceedings to change the yield signs to stop signs at the intersection of Andrew and James • Streets, but ended up approving an amendment to ask the police for their recommendations. Councillor Ted Wright led the attack on yield signs, saying they should only be used where traffic merges. "The next man who puts up • yield signs (in town) should have his head read," he suggested. However, Councillor Ross Taylor said he wouldn't like to see any more stop signs erect- ed. First and second readings were given to a bylaw calling for a • speed limit of 25 m.p.h. on sec- tions of Victoria, Gidley, Senior and Sanders Streets in the vicin- ity of the three local schools. This will be in effect from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. from Monday to Friday during the school year. Council deferred final read- • ing, to ascertain whether the 'limit could be reduced even more. Some expressed the wish it be dropped to 20 and one even sug- gested 15 m.p.h.

No favoritism for rural dogs Usborne dog owners whose animals are caught in Exeter will have to drive to that city to claim them when the Humane Society commences dog catching services in Exeter. The township council had ask- ed Exeter council that any dogs identified by tag as belonging to Usborne residents be turned over to the veterinary clinics in either Exeter or Kirkton if caught by the Humane Society officers, Exeter council decided that such a request would have to be dealt with by the Humane Society and a letter read Mon- day night indicated that all dogs will be taken to London, regard- less of where their owners live. The Humane Society noted that it wasn't possible to deliver town- ship dogs to the area clinics in that it would not be fair to Exeter residents. No word has yet been received when the Humane Society will commence duties in Exeter and Hensel]. GB council — Continued from front page of $44,196.50.

The film and Interview, with Mr. Darbishire were made at the local Kongskilde location last Wednesday. There will be news of new designing ideas in the firm's equipment and also a discussion on the use of spare parts. A new group council held a lengthy debate on the disposition of charges against the extensive agricultural land owned by A. J. Darling on the street. They had previously decided to exempt Mr. Darling for all frontage except for the portion on which his residence is situat- ed, with the exemption to termin- ate when the land use changes on any portion from agricultural to residential designation. At such time as a change oc- curs, the frontage charges were to be added. However, Monday night coun- cil members were informed that if the land was exempted because it was designated agricultural at the present time, the frontage charges couldn't be levied at a later date. A motion was passed that the sewer frontage would be assess- ed to owners on both sides of the street at the present time if a sewer is installed. Graduation for dancers The annual graduation dance of Exeter promenaders was held Wednesday night at Exeter Arena. Norm Whiting's beginner class of two squares received their dip- lomas and club badges and were received into the club by Presi- dent Lloyd and Shirley Ferguson and the executive.

This is the first time young adults have come into the Promenaders as mem- bers. The other half of the class are young married couples. During the serving of refresh- ments club members and visitors were entertained by the gradu- ates.

April 24 pleased to help with all your eartienine needs, PHONE 215.0111 Council made the same ruling regarding the installation of a water line extension near the eastern limits of Sanders St. In view of a recent policy change by the PUC, this new line would have to go in under Local Improvement with the pro- perty owners on both sides of the street sharing the cost. Councillor Don MacG regor said the new PUC policy calling for Local Improvement to be used to finance new water lines was crazy. Wooden reminded him that as a member of council he had ap- proved it, and MacGregor replied he realized that, but added he didn't know what• he was passing at the time. He said the PUC was forcing people to build out in the sur- rounding townships rather than in Exeter. Derry Boyle said the PUC policy was okay as long as rate- payers could have the costs spac- ed out over a number of years and he was advised that this was the case. However, Boyle was critical of the PUC for selling water to township residents, especially those building new homes along Huron St. East. He said some of the people may have reconsidered and built within the town limits if water had not been made available to them. Wooden also chastisedthe PUC for not taking any steps to re- direct building into the town. Mayor Delbridge, a member of the PUC, advised that emotion was now on the books that the pipeline would not be extended to provide water for new homes outside the municipality in this area. Wooden also reported to coun- cil that one local subdivider was "incensed" over the fact council George McFalls Biddulph farmer George Emerson McFalls, 70, of Biddulph Township, died sud- denly in South Huron Hospital, Saturday, April 13, having enter- ed as a patient the day previous.

Exeter Teen Town Give address for consumer The Honourable John N. Turn- er, Minister of Consumer and Corporate Affairs, announced this Week that consumers may now mail complaints or inquir- ies to "The Consumer, P.O. Box 99, Ottawa, Ontario". "The consumer now has a central mailing address in Ot- tawa for easy communication with the federal government on con- sumer matters", Mr. Turner said. Mr. Turner explained that in the past the consumer has not known where to send complaints because consumer legislation is administered by many Govern- ment departments and agencies. "I represent the consumer in the federal Government, and I want the consumer to have easy and direct access to me and my Department", Mr. Turner said. Complaints or inquiries sent to "The Consumer, P.O. Box 99, Ottawa, Ontario" will be assured of quick action. TERM INSURANCE ON THE BEST TERMS at your service DAVID S.

ONTARIO TOWER INSTALLATIONS ROTORS BOOSTERS ANTENNAS MAX'S TV 238,2493 GRAND BEND YOUR GE-MOTOROLA DEALER Exeter council's plan to hold meetings with property owners to inform them of regulations and procedures regarding pro- posed sewers on their streets apparently isn't working out too well. Two weeks ago council held a meeting with property owners on Sanders St., east of Pryde Boule- vard, and instructed them to sign up for the sewer at the clerk's office and indicate how they would plan to pay the frontage charges. Monday night, council received a petition signed by most rest& ents of the street and learned none had yet signed forms at the town office, "I don't know why in the devil we had a meeting," commented Mayor Jack Delbridge in criticis- ing the ratepayers for failing to follow council's instructions. Councillor Joe Wooden said he was prepared to assume that all persons on the petition would sign up for the sewer and sug- gested the petition was as legal as the forms council supplies. However, Delbridge replied that the petition wasn't worth the paper it was written on and during a heated debate with Wooden, suggested the latter must have a brother living on the street the way he was pushing for the sewer. Noting. there was only one own- er planning to prepay charges, Councillor Ross Taylor said he couldn't see how the town Could finance the project on their own. He said he thought council would get at least 50 percent to prepay charges and noted the amount of prepayment was the lowest that had been received on any town sewer. "It's impossible for the town to assume the whole cost," Coun- cillor George Vriese suggested. In most sewer installations in the past, council has received a considerable amount of prepay- ment which reduces substantially the total outlay the town must make for constructing the sewer. It was finally suggested that the ratepayers be contacted and asked to go to the clerk's office and sign the forms available for proposed sewers. A decision on whether to build the sewer will be delayed until this is done, For the third meeting ina row, continued to approve building permits for lots in other thanap- proved subdivisions — especially along Huron Street East. "He feels he's in a position where he can't compete," Wood- en stated, noting that the sub- divider had to make every pro- vision such as installing water lines, sewers, roads, etc. while the owners of land not under a registered subdivision had no requirements to meet at all. Although he wasn't named, council members appeared to as- sume that Wooden was referring to Gib Dow, and Councillor Wright noted that Dow had been able to sell several lots for which the town had provided services be- fore the new requirements came into effect. Mayor Delbridge said it was a legitimate complaint and listed it as the reason why council should have a subdivision control bylaw. Under such a bylaw, lots could not be sold unless they werepart of an approved plan or were over 10 acres in size. Councillor Wright suggested council should subsidize some of the lots in older sections of the town so they would have houses built on them. Services already run past such lots. It is expected the Planning Board and the town's solicitor will hold a meeting in the near future to consider a subdivision control bylaw. Hospital — Continued from front page Ceiling tile was also fire- proofed at a cost of $4,375.56. B. W. Tuckey, administration committee chairman, reported his committee had met twice; once for the routine scheduling of wages and once with the mem- bers of the medical profession who plan to submit a brief to the board in the near future Outlining their requests.
