Grand Bend reeve Bob Sharen said he was happy with the meeting and is confident the village won't be paying for township services. Sharon added, "However, it's still uncertain what council will decide. Some are still concerned we will be paying for a system the townships will use. Council will meet in two weeks to discuss the proposal and at- tempt to set a rate structure, Councillor Douglas Martin insisted that the village could not afford a sewage system at this time, Stephen council Continuedeoted tof be rom front page $838,982 an in- crease of $143,000 while township costs are expected to be $449,141 up about $128,000.

The disposition of the town hall resulted in another lengthy debate by Exeter council this week, although there was little indication anyone had changed his mind about discontinuing use of the building. The debate was instigated when Councillor Bend Hoogen- boom presented Mayor Delbridge with a letter. The letter was from Mrs. Ida M. Dinney and sup- ported Hoogenboom's fight to save the town hall. Mrs. Dinney noted the sound of the town hall bell brought back, many memories to older residents of the community, but added that young people too were interested in saving the building. She suggested the taxpayers should be given an opportunity to make their wishes known in the matter. Councillor Bruce Shaw said the disposition of the building would be an "emotional situation" and noted that council had an engineer's study which con- firmed council's suspicions that the building was beyond salvaging. He said it would be a mistake to try and salvage it and urged council not to consider doing anything positive except destroying the structure. Exeter council had their first preview of the 1974 budget as compiled by Clerk Eric Car- scadden and the finance com- mittee this week. In the next few days, they'll be deciding just what mill rate they'll be setting for the current year. Indications are there will be an increase, but the amount of the increase is anyone's guess, The budget as outlined results in an increase of about 29 mills for residential property and 41 for commercial. However, no member of council voiced any support for such an increase and a debenture will probably be issued to keep the rates much lower than that, One of the major projects in- cluded in the budget is $150,00 for the Anne St. drain. Council hope to have this project undertaken this year to alleviate flooding in the core area from the south-east of town through the downtown section. A motion presented earlier in the meeting asked engineer B. M. Ross to "proceeds with all haste" on the project. The drain will parallel the present Anne St. drain and will pick up water at the north end of Edward St. as well. The $150,000 expenditure represehtS about 35 thing. Discussion around the council table Monday night indicated Some members favored paying about half of that through current revenue and the balance through debenture. Fewer left turns may be per- mitted in Exeter in the future in an effort to reduce traffic tie-ups at peak periods, Councillor Ted Wright said this week that many of the problems experienced on Fridays when traffic is exceedingly high are due to people making left turns off and onto Main St. He suggested this be curtailed as much as possible. Other members pointed out that Police Chief Ted Day had recommended some time ago that left turns off James and John St. should be stopped. Mayor Jack Delbridge wasn't concerned about the problem. He said traffic should be slowed Hoogenboom argued that the engineer's report did not say the building was not worth saving. He suggested the people of the town should decide the fate of the building in a plebiscite. Mayor Jack Delbridge hinted he was in favor of putting the issue on a ballot; while Councillor Tom MacMillan said members of council were elected to make, those decisions. MacMillan said council's decision to vacate the building was based on information that only council members had. "We're elected to make decisions, so we should have the gumption to do it," he noted, adding that the ratepayers could express their displeasure by voting council members out of office. Reeve Derry Boyle agreed with the latter contention, suggesting that those interested in saving the town hall should run candidates in the next municipal election and have the matter resolved in that manner, In making a motion to file the letter from Mrs. Dinney, it was noted by Deputy-Reeve Helen Jermyn that council had wasted a great deal of time debating the town hall question. She said the letter from Mrs. Only a brief discussion was held on the budget and members asked for more time in which to consider the figures before setting the mill rate. Another major project in .the budget was an expenditure of around $25,000 for the post office building, although that project too is not a certainty. down, "Why do we have to go so fast?" he asked, noting that "three parts of the people aren't going anywhere". Councillor Tom MacMillan predicted there would be a "wonderful change" when the new traffic lights are installed at the corner of Main and Huron as more people would go to the two traffic lights in town to facilitate easier turns, A discussion was also held on the recent subinission by police committee chairmen to county council on the topic of the future of policing in Huron. Councillor Bruce Shaw represented Exeter and said Monday that the committee heads from the five county towns had recommended that county council ask the Ontario Police Commission to conduct a survey to determine what type of policing would be best for the county. A recommendation on the request will probably be made at the next session of county council. Reeve Derry Boyle said most of the township reeves appeared "fairly receptive" to undertaking the survey. The Police Commission recently released a study recommending that police forces in small towns be replaced by Ontario Provincial Police or a central force. The police chiefs in Huron have spearheaded a plan to have Huron policed by a county force made up primarily from existing • forces. In his report for May, Chief Ted Day listed the following statistics at Monday's council meeting: Thirteen accidents with damage of $3,881, six warnings and 66 charges under the High- way Traffic Act, 20 charges under the Liquor Control Act, eight parking tickets issued, two places of business found in- secure, 15 animal complaints with four owners being charged, one theft over $200 with total loot of $300, 11 thefts under $200 with total loot of $329 and $282 being recovered, four charged with theft, two break and enters with $25 being stolen and one charge laid, two vehicles stolen with both being recovered and one charge laid, five disturbances in- vestigated with three charges, four cases of property damage with total damage being $156 of which $71 was returned in restitution. Dinney and any others received would be duly considered before any decision would be made on the fate of the town hall. This was approved by council. Later, Clerk Eric Carscadden advised that an official from the federal public works department would be arranging a meeting with council to discuss the offer made on the present post office, Council has offered to buy the building for $22,500. Carscadden said the man to whom he had been speaking made no comment on the offer. Engineering Degree Laurence R.
