Dashwood officials have suggested that Hay pay three mills per annum based on the Huron street residents ask for aid in flooding for recreation purposes from three areas in the township. They are the Dashwood Athletic field $867.79, Centralia Centennial Centre $500 and Crediton Parks Board $1,565. Gordon Scott was reimbursed in the amount of $304.12 for in- juries suffered by a cow from unknown or stray dogs. Tuckersmith township council awarded a tender to John H. McLlwain, Seaforth to supply and apply to township roads 16,000 cubic yards of gravel for $23,475. It was the lowest of two bids. Road superintendent Allan Nicholson was authorized to again contact the Stratford office of the Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Com- munications asking for street lighting at the entrance to Vanastra off Highway 4 and to have the highway widened in the same area to make it less dangerous.

A lagoon to service the sewage system for the summer resort village is to be located in the township of Stephen, The Stephen objection suggests a lagoon would have an adverse affect on neigh- bouring farms in the township. Preliminary work is being carried out on a township bylaw requiring the fencing of private swimming pools in the township, Clerk Wilmar Wein said the new bylaw would probably go into effect on July 21. Stephen council is backing a resolution from the Association of Municipalities of Ontario ob- jecting to increases in Ontario Hydro rates. The resolution states hydro rates could rise as much as 95 per cent over three years. A total of 15 tile drain loans worth $122,200 were given ap- proval. Council has learned that the county of Huron will reimburse any fire brigade which is called to an accident or fire occurring on county roads. This is similar to provincial regulations now in effect on Ontario high- ways. Clerk Wein said the township has received budgets Exeter council — Continued from front page However, Deputy-Reeve Tom MacMillan noted that council obviously couldn't issue permits when the mobile homes had actually been situated on property not owned by Veri at the time the homes were erected. Mrs. Bell failed to get a seconder for her motion and no other member of council came forth with a suggestion on how to deal with the matter. "We're left with our tail hanging between our legs," commented Reeve Derry Boyle. as the discussion moved on to other items on the agenda. Two applications were also received for signs for Riverview Estates and these were both turned over to the planning board for their consideration. Accidents — Continued from front page Stephen, crashed through a fence and then rolled over. Constable Jim Rogers in- vestigated and set damage at $5,000. The driver was treated for cuts and bruises. Two cars collided at the in- tersection of Highway 4 and sideroad 30 north of Exeter during the heavy fog at 7:35 a.m., Tuesday. Ross Guse, Kincardine, had been southbound on Highway 4 and Margaret Parsons, RR 1 Hensall, had been westbound on the sideroad at the time of. the crash, which resulted in total damage of $700. Constable Giffin investigated. The final crash of the week occurred at 6:00 p.m., Tuesday, when a vehicle operated by Andrew Lord, Crediton, went out of control on Highway 4 near the Mt. Carmel Road and crashed into the ditch. Constable Quinn set damage at $500.

We paid a retainer fee of $800 in 1974 and were going to up it to $1,200 this year." At Monday's regular council meeting, Hay agreed to offer $1,500 per annum as a retainer on a three year term, Both parties have agreed on the amount to be paid for actual fire calls. It will be $90 for the first hour of each call and $75 for each additional hour. Trailer licence fees in Hay are being raised from $8 to $15 per month. The maximum monthly rate under provincial legislation is $20. A request for Rumball Motors not given sufficient notice of vehicles making left turns into Vanastra. Council discussed in length the problem related to demolishing of several barrack type buildings at Vanastra and the need for clean-up of the properties after good material is removed. The revised report of the Nott drain will be discussed with ratepayers involved on July 29 at 7 p.m. Complaints were heard about the ill-kept conditions of several vacant lots in Vanastra and a number of old cement lined holes considered dangerous to children. cents a foot over 30 years. The regular rates are $6 or 42 cents, Deputy-Reeve Torn MacMillan noted the reduced rate would still be considerably cheaper than the town having to dig the sewer deep enough to accommodate the residence. Local man is Grand Patriarch The Grand Lodge sessions of the Independant Order of Odd- fellows was held in June, at the Royal York Hotel, in Toronto, Patriarch Donald R. MacGregor, Exeter was installed as Grand Patriarch of the Grand Encampment of Ontario, for a one year term. The Encampments of Ontario are divided into seventeen districts. Pat Don is expected to make at least one official visit to each district in his year as head of the Encampment branch of the Independent Order of 'Odd- fellows. DONALD MacOREGOR Dashwood to have their property included in the Dashwood water system was accepted and engineer B. M.Ross will be in- structed to make this property part of the survey. Council passed a swimming pool bylaw, similar to the one in effect in Huron County whereby all pools must be fenced in, Application has been made to participate in the Local Initiatives program for 1975-76. Council has agreed to par- ticipate in the Exeter senior citizens housing program with one application for residence from the township. Hay will be responsible for one-thirty second of seven percent of any deficit which may occurr in operation of the home. The holes were originally constructed to provide access to an underground heating system when Vanastra was an RCAF station. Property owners are being advised to fill the holes. Council opposed the proposed closing of the Conestoga branch building at Vanastra. They acknowledged the costliness of maintaining such an expensive institution for a declining number of students. Clerk James McIntosh was instructed to telephone Huron MPP Jack Riddell in Toronto opposing the new Drainage Act which is expected to receive final reading Friday. The resignation of Gerry Salton from the Vanastra Day Care Centre board was accepted. Building permits were issued to Alex Townsend, RR 4, Seaforth, a milk house; W. J. F. Bell, Kip- pen, barn addition; Art Haverkamp, Clinton, a silo and. Fred Swann, Vanastra, building alteration. Three residents of Huron St. East appeared before Exeter council this week seeking some assistance to alleviate the flooding conditions that exist in their backyards throughout most of the year. Spokesman Cal Wein said the residents feel the situation has reached the point where something has to be done, He said all the water from the east is congregating behind their houses and that it stagnates in pools for long periods of time. Reeve Boyle noted there were several areas in the community were water sits and said the town had no responsibility to drain private property. However, works superin- tendent Glenn Kells noted that when sewers are hooked up in the area, the residents will be per- mitted to put their footing tiles into the sewer and the cost of handling this water at the pumping station and the lagoon may be more than the cost of providing a hookup into a small drain, Thames Road The flowers in the church Sunday were placed there in memory of the late Mrs. Dave Blackwell. The sympathy of the community is extended to Edwin Miller and family in the loss of his sister. Mrs. Jean Douglas and Mr. & Mrs. Robert Horgan of Minnesota are visiting with their cousins Mrs. Jennie Bray and Agnes. On Sunday they had a family get- together. Those attending were Mr. Jack Hoggarth of Seaforth, Mr. & Mrs. Gordon Hoggarth of Exeter, Mr. & Mrs. Archie Hoggarth, Mr. & Mrs. Mark Strapp, Laurie, Jamie and Michael of London, Mr. & Mrs. Gerald Gilmour, Kevin, Paul and David, Mr: & Mrs. Donald Bray, Robert, Janet and Ruth. Mr. & Mrs. Rick Mellenger and Alicia, Mr. & Mrs. Alvin Passmore visited with their cousins Mr. & Mrs. Frank Brooks in Toronto on Sunday. Mrs. Glenn Rohde and baby daughter Tammy returned home from South Huron Hospital in Exeter on Monday. Mr. & Mrs. Alex Rohde of Mitchell visited on Monday evening with Mr. & Mrs. William Rohde, Harvey Hyde and Alvin Passmore are working on the car port at the manse along with men from both congregations, Wein noted that much of the water that is causing the problem comes from Usborne Township and Councillor Ted Wright said council envisioned this problem when building was permitted along Huron St. East outside the town limits. After Kells noted that a small drain from the properties in question could he hooked into a storm drain near the Bethel Reformed Church, council agreed to turn the matter over to the drain committee for further study. Brian Wedlake, another resident of the area, also asked council if it would be possible to have the grader level Huron St. periodically during the con- struction of the sanitary sewers, "As of this morning, I have lost two mufflers," he reported. Reeve Boyle said it seemed strange to him that recon- struction of the road had not started yet and commented that he didn't know how the residents of the street could put up with the present conditions. "It's terrible," agreed coun- cillor Barb Bell, It was finally decided to write consulting engineer B. M. Ross and explain the situation to him and have him contact the con- tractor to rectify the deplorable condition of the street. Later in the meeting, another bill was received from a motorist who had a muffler torn off while driving over the rough terrain. Council also learned that an agreement had been worked out with the sewer contractor. whereby Huron St. East will not be repaved this year. Instead, the roadway will be excavated and gravelled in readiness for paving. Two weeks ago, council learned that it would be a waste of money to have the street repaved because it did not have a sub- stantial base. Reder tree on display Exeter resident Jacob Reder who recently returned from a five week visit to Germany brought his family tree back with him. It covers every branch of the Reder family. It will be on display at Country Flowers in Exeter, Thursday and Friday of this week.

T-A photo Offer $1,500 retainer Negotiate Dashwood fire pact "East side, west side," may make an interesting song, but it is a question that has apparently had its final discussion at Exeter council. The debate has been going on for the past three meetings since RAP requested that parking be prohibited on one side of Andrew St. adjacent to the local swim pool. The parking was originally planned for the west side, then the east, and then back to the west, Council went through the whole procedure again this week and finally decided to ban parking on the east side. This is contrary to the practice on the balance of the street, but it was felt best because it would alleviate the possibility of children running out from bet- ween parked cars at the pool. + + A reduction will be offered in the frontage rate to be paid by one local ratepayer whose basement is too low to be hooked into the sanitary sewer, The rate will be $4 for prepayment of frontage or 30 Coloring contest for youngsters Area youngsters have been invited to enter a coloring contest being sponsored jointly by the Ontario Provincial Police and the Ontario Road Builders.
