The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1974-01-10, Page 14Grant license to taxi firm Although they weren't .certain what regulations were contained in local bylaws pertaining to taxi. operators,. Exeter council this week approved permission to grant licenees to a Clinton area firm to operate one or two taxi units in the town. The licence requests came from H. Schoonbeek, Clinton, who operates other units in Huron County as well, Reeve Derry Boyle didn't think the licences should be approved until the local bylaW was checked, but 'other members felt this was not necessary. In fact, most wondered why there would be any stipulation on the number of licences -which can be ap- proved in Exeter. Boyle said the bylaw did contain such stipulatiOns as far as he could remember. Fee for the licences is $25 each. Quality locks are well worth the investment for home protection but if you have glass within 40 inches of a doorknob it is an in- vitation to burglary.

CLIPPERTON Reeve Clerk Suzuki Snowmobiles 'SEE OUR SELECTION OF USED MACHINES TOO Jim Gaunt Enterprises Centralia 228-6716 NOTICE Town of Exeter At the request of the Council of the Town of Exeter, the Ministry of the Environment has investigated the possibility of installing within the said Town, a sewage works project and now proposes to con- struct such works at an estimated cost of $687,315, and to make application to the Ontario Municipal Board for approval of the undertaking and the imposition of a special sewage works rate. It is proposed to raise this sum by borrowing $203,327 from the Central Mortgage and Hous- ing Corporation to be repaid over a period of thirty years and the balance of $483,988 will be repaid to the Ministry of the Environment over the same period. The proposed project would consist of sewage works to be constructed as follows: ON Hillcrest Drive Andrew Street North Alexander Street Hill Street Wellington Street James Street Huron Street Simcoe Street Albert Street Andrew Street Andrew Street Carling Street Victoria Street Gidley Street Sanders Street Sanders Street John Street Huron Street Mill Street Market Street Park Street Acheson Street Marlborough Street • ".1 FROM Riverside Drive Riverside Drive Andrew Street Approx. 200' W. of Andrew Andrew Street Edward Street Edward Street Approx. 250' W. of Andrew Simcoe Street John Street Simcoe Street Gidley Street Carling Street 4 t, ‘,.4 kJ' Marlborough Street Marlborough Street Carling Street Carling Street Carling Street Market Street Mill Street Market Street Mill Street Huron Street TO George Street Thames Road Approx. 600' E. of Andrew Street Street Approx. 300' E, of Andrew Street Approx. 300' E. of Andrew Sfreet ApproX, 170' W. of Edward Street Approx. 2,000' E. of Edward Street Street Edward Street Approx. 250' N. of Simcoe Street Approx. 250' S. of John Street Approx. 250' N. of Huron 'Street Wellington Street William Street rp'p'Pr'jniTr?'"gf5E21;7,;IL, nt.

The estimated annual cost of the project is $66,280 which includes debt retirement, interest, Central Mortgage & Housing Corporation payment, reserve and operating charges. It is proposed to raise this sum in the following manner: $8,509 by a frontage rate of 42 cents per foot on all lands which front on or abut on the streets or parts of streets or connect to the works described above; $3,556 by a connection charge of $13.17; $5,187 by an 83 per cent surcharge on the annual water bill of new users; $16,092 by an 83 per cent surcharge less the present $12.00 flat rate on the annual water bill of existing users; and $17,940 by a mill rate levy of 4.41 mills on the assessment of the whole municipality. In addition $5,000 is anticipated from a regular annual sur- plus from existing sewage works revenue and a $10,000 minimum annual payment by Canadian Canners Limited (for not less than five years). In computing frontage rates, provision shall be made for the exemption or partial exemption from a foot frontage rate in the following manner: In the case of lots situated at the junction or intersection of streets or highways, the exemp- tion on the flankage shall be 125 feet, In the case of lots that are triangular or irregularly shaped, a reduction shall be made in the frontage rate, that otherwise would be chargeable thereon, sufficient, having regard to the situation, value and superficial area of such lots as compared with the other lots, to adjust the said frontage rate on a fair and equitable basis. In the case of lots,that because of the nature of the terrain or the elevation of the sewer, do not derive the same benefit as other lands abutting on the sewer, a reduction shall be made in the frontage rate which otherwise would be chargeable thereon sufficient, having regard to the benefit derived as compared with other lots, to adjUst the said frontage rate on a fair and equitable basis. Where a lot is for any reason wholly or in part unfit for building purposes, a reduction shall be made in the said frontage rate which otherwise would be chargeable thereon, suf- ficient to adjust its said frontage rate as compared with that of the lots fit for building pur- poses on a fair and equitable basis. Where a lot, other than a corner lot, has two or more limits that abut on works and the size or nature of the lot is such that any or all of the works are not required, a reduction in respect of the works that are not required, so long as they are not required, shall also be made in the said frontage rate that would otherwise be chargeable thereon, sufficierit to adjust its said frontage rate on a fair and equitable basis, The reduction shall be made by deducting from the total frontage of the lot liable for the said frontage rate so much thereof as is sufficient to make the proper reduction, but the whole of the lot shall be charged with the said frontage rate as so reduced. On the basis of the foregoing charges, a new user, having a house with a frontage of 60 feet, an assessment of $3,000 and a water bill of $36,00 would pay $81.60 per annum, All ratepayers will be subject to the mill rate levy of 4.41 mills. All present sewage works users will have a rate increase of $18.00 ($30.00 less the existing charge of $12.00). Any ratepayer may within twenty-one days after the first publication of this notice, send by prepaid post to the clerk of the Town of Exeter, at the address given below, a notice in writing stating his objection to such approval or the imposition of the special rate. The Ontario Municipal Board may approve the special rate pursuant to the statute and may ap- prove of the said works but before doing so, it may appoint a time and a place for a public hearing when any objections will be considered, but notice of such hearing will be given only to those per- sons who have given notice of such objection as provided for above. All plans, reports and estimates may be inspected at the office of the undersigned during business hours. DATED AT THE TOWN OF EXETER and first published this day of January 10, 1973. Mr, E. H.

DAVID KESTLE C LANDEBOY E List tax arrears at unusual level Exeter completed 1973 with about $38,000 in current taxes unpaid, That works out to around seven percent, which is lower than usual. Part of the reason given for the improvement is the fact ratepayers do not receive the provincial rebate unless the taxes have been paid. Council learned there were still outstanding taxes from as far back as 1968 and asked Clerk Eric Carscadden to prepare a report for next meeting. At this time a decision will be made regarding the action to be taken to collect these back taxes, The municipality can initiate tax sale proceedings on properties for which the taxes are outstanding for three years, SIGN at a gas station: "Fill up here and be tankful."
