HomeMy WebLinkAboutThe Exeter Times-Advocate, 1975-01-23, Page 3Dump will close Except Saturday Starting April 1, Exeter's dump will be closed except on, Satur- day's, The recommendation was made by sanitation committee chairman Garnet Hicks, who said he was at a loss to know why council had an attendant at the dump at the present, He said the man couldn't en- force regulations prohibiting outsiders from using the facility. The suggestioh that the dump be closed was made earlier by Bob Simpson, chairman of last year's sanitation committee. He said it may be the only way to "save the dump" from being closed by the ministry of the environment. Some of the people using the dump were setting fires, contrary to ministry regulations. An attendant will be hired for the Saturday opening and in- dustries which have been given keys to facilitate their use of the dump will be allowed to continue this practice. Hicks also reported his com- mittee was investigating the possible purchase of a machine which will load leaves as well as cleanout manholes. He said council needed a more economical way to pick up leaves than that used last year after council prohibited the burning of leaves. Last year, students were hired to assist with the collection of leaves and the works department did the balance of the task. Cost of the equipment being considered by the sanitation committee is $4,900, It sucks leaves up from the boulevard and blows them into a truck, Senior units ready soon WELCOME NEW SCOUT LEADERS — The Exeter Scout Pack held their investiture ceremony Monday night Paul Kristoferson, assistant leader and Gerry Bouwman, leader are welcomed by Paul Hockey and Ted Triebner, the only scouts remaining from the pack which folded two years ago.

B Exeter, want change Councils at Exeter and Grand Bend this week concurred with a resolution from Watford, calling for the Attorney ,General to un- dertake a review of the procedures and attitudes of provincial judges in the disposition of cases before them. The Watford resolution suggested the practices being followed now downgrade the importance of justice. In particular the resolution noted the practice of allowing convicted people lengthy times to pay fines and also suggested that some judges do not levy fines of sufficient magnitude, par- ticularly for second and third- time offenders. Exeter Reeve Derry Boyle doubted the resolution would result in any changes, noting that Clinton had complained on several occasions about the court situation in Huron with the poor preparation of cases and the lightness of fines. Mayor Bruce Shaw said by supporting the resolution it would indicate Exeter council is not happy with the situation. "If it's another round of ammunition, we should support it in principle," he added. "It may do some good," added councillor Harold Patterson. Gain entry in 27 cottages Exeter OPP are this week investigating the break-in at 27 cottages in the Poplar Beach area, about two miles north of Highway 83 in the. Lake Huron resort area. Entry was gained either by forcing doors or breaking win- dows. All the cottages were ran- sacked, but police say that as yet, there has been no indication of any major thefts. The break-ins were discovered Sunday and police are in the process of notifying cottage owners. Many of the cottagers are on holidays in the south and have not yet been able to inspect their cottages to determine if any thefts were involved. However, police believe the break-ins were more in the category of vandalism than theftS. OPP Constable Bill Osterloo is in charge of the investigation, assisted by Constable Bob Whiteford.
