GB main — Continued from front page Saturday to supervise repairs. Mr. Ladbrook said the cause for the break was brackets pulling loose from the bridge concrete. The pipe which was installed in 1968 is owned by the province. Ladbrook also said the province would take care of all costs of the rpalys. Anysymiwsaid a portion of the: sidewalk on tbe nor th side of the bridge was taken up Tuesday to allow workmen to get back to the next joint for a proper con- nection. The village works foreman said he felt the brackets came loose from vibration of traffic and from the fact they may not have been adequately secured at the time of installation.

Winter works progressing Reeve John Payne reported an inspector of the federal Local Initiatives Program better known as Winter Works was in Grand Bend last week doing an inspection on the work completed to date. Payne indicated the inspection proved satisfactory. Reeve Payne was given authority to call a meeting of interested citizens and organizations regarding the securing of more land for cemetery purposes. At a recent meeting, Councillor Murray Des Jardins, who is also secretary of the Grand Bend United Church cemetery com- mittee reported very little land remained for burial plots. Des Jardins was delegated to send out letters to the area churches asking their co- opera tion..He said some response was received andia meeting of all interested persons and groups was suggested. In discussing a request from the Marine and Rescue Patrol of London to establish service at Grand Bend this summer, councillor Ted Flint said he has been told the Ontario Provincial Police boat would be in the Grand Bend area more often This summer. In reply to a question as to the village's position on the handling of old or condemned buildings, legal counsel Bill Dyer advised, council may remedy the con- dition with any action it deems necessary. Some discussion took place regarding council's deciaion a week earlier to close the village dump -located on Highway 21 south in Bosanquet township. Road foreman Vic Anysymiw said the Grand Bend PUC was one of the major users of the dump grounds. Councillors Des Jardins and Sharen suggested the Public Utilities Commission be charged a fee for use of the dump. Des Jardins who said the "P1JC had been getting off too cheaply over the years," suggested a meeting of the two municipal bodies in April. While discussing a proposed turn-around at the west end of Main street, road foreman Anysymiw was told to get the project on the road which will include curbing and underground wiring for lighting on Govern- ment Road. Councillors Flint and Des Jardins were authorized to get assistance from the Grand Bend Lions club in issuing bicycle licences to Grand Bend youngsters. Exeter's RAP committee have approved the 1973 budget calling for a total grant of $33,000 from council. That's an increase of 10 percent over last year's figures. The budget had been prepared by arena manager Alvin Willert and town clerk Eric Carscadden. It listed only total grant requirements and no details on how the figures were deter- mined was sought by RAP members. Of the $33,000 total, $15,000 will be for recreation, $8,000 for parks and $10,000 for community centres. The latter figure is down $2,000 from 1972 while recreation is up $3,000 and parks is up $2,000 over the 1972 budget but only $800 over what was actually spent on parks last year. In presenting his budget, Willert recommended that the parks money be turned over to RAP. It has been the practice of council to administer the park funds, although the expenditures were actually approved by Willert. "Theoretically they're just rubber-stamping what we pass," member Jack Underwood pointed out. Reeve Derry Boyle said he thought it was a good idea to make the switch, noting that council members often questioned amounts spent on park work but no one had the answers for them because the money was actually being spent by RAP personnel. Willert told RAP they could expect a $1,000 deficit in the EXETER MEN'S A SP B, Nicol 651 PA L. Little 718 C4TH I), Jackson 720 RB B. Sanders 734 RO 13, Farquhar 782 EGA Joe Darling 758 FA G.

Despite the warning, members agreed not to increase fees for open swimming or lessons, A sizeable increase bad been made in lesson fees last year and RAP chairman Gord Baynham suggested they should not be hiked again in 1973. Boyle pointed out that the weather has a great deal to do with the revenue and if a warm summer is experienced, revenues could increase over last year when the pool broke even. The reason for Willert's forecast of a deficit is the fact additional pool staff has been hired this year to meet recom- mendations of health and safety officials. RAP did approve a change in Woman pays $30 for disturbance A Kippen area woman, Stella Bunn, was fined $30 after pleading guilty to a charge of causing a disturbance in Exeter early Saturday morning.

Tait 277 playground fees, Three two-week sessions will be held with a registration fee of $2.00 for each session. Last year, youngsters could enrol in the complete summer program for only $2.00, Willert said that salaries for the playground would reach about $1,000 this year and revenue should be increased As well. He pointed out that if 100 youngsters registered under the previous fee scale, only $200 would be realized in revenue. The winning candidate in today's byelection may have his victory party interrupted by a telephone call from Exeter's RAP committee. He'll be asked to have the matter of repairs to the Exeter arena taken up with ministry of labor officials as soon as possible, RAP learned from arena manager Alvin Willert that the roof is leaking very badly and plans should be undertaken to make the repairs as soon as possible. No action has been taken on the matter because approval from the ministry is required before renovations can be undertaken. Local officials also want to find out how far the ministry may make them go in undertaking proposed structural im- provements outlined in a recent engineering report authorized by RAP. The report suggested an ex- penditure of $50,000 may be needed to strengthen the structure. Willert said the amount of water dripping • through the porous roof on Sunday was most embarrassing in view of the large number of visitors in attendance at the arena. Teams from London and Dearborn played in the morning, followed by Exeter's two-game series with teams from Trenton, Michigan, and the Mitchell-Exeter Hawks game. He said people couldn't sit on many of the seats because they were so wet. The arena manager also noted that water was coming in through the new roof over the washrooms, making them a mess. One visitor left the arena to go to a- local service station to use the washroom facilities, telling the service station operator the arena washrooms were worse than a pig pen. Willert said it was a mess, but it was caused by the leaking roof and there was nothing that could be done about the situation. "It's been cheap baby sitting service for the past 20 years," Baynham suggested. "It still is," Underwood replied, Total weekly payroll for the three playground supervisors will be $155, while the seven persons involved in the swim- ming pool operation will be paid a total of $520 per week, In other business, RAP authorized purchase of a new riding mower from Exeter Ford Equipment. Boyle suggested RAP forego plans to make structural changes to the arena and merely re-roof it, He said it would be foolish to spend a large sum of money if the building had to come down in five or six years. "I don't think we should spend much more on it," agreed Bruce Shaw. RAP chairman Gord Baynham tempered the discussion by noting that most arenas had problems on the weekend due to the vast amount of rain, He said there was considerable moisture on the floor of the new Ilderton arena. Willert also told RAP that new heaving is being evidenced on the arena ice surface. He said one day last week, water was seeping in and coming up through a crack in the trap-rock floor "like a fountain." He said in some areas of the ice surface, there is a thickness of seven inches of ice and in others it is less than half an inch, "We have more heaving than we've ever had before," he stated. Boyle said RAP may have to use the Huron Park arena next year for minor hockey and figure skating if ice time can be ob- tained. "It could be ," Willert replied. Members agreed to contact the newly elected Huron MPP as early as possible to discuss the matter with ministry of labor officials. a discuss more cemetery land from the village office by April 1. During the summer months from May 1 to October 1 of each year, dogs will not be allowed on the beach under any cir- cumstances. At other times of the year they must be restrained by a leash.
