T-A photo Senior citizen apartments are available to four municipalities Residency in the new senior citizens' apartments on Sanders St. will be available only to residents of the four minicipalities which have agreed to assume their share of any operating loss. The four are Exeter, Stephen, Usborne and Hay. Two weeks ago, an official from the Ontario Housing Cor- poration had met in private with Exeter council to see if they would be willing to allow people from outside those four municipalities to take up residence in the apartments, Development lost He had explained that ap- plications had been received from people outside the area involved. "It's a touchy situation," commented Councillor Ted Wright. He said that once it was opened to anyone, OHC officials would base future residency on need alone "and it could be people from Exeter or Kalamazoo," "I can't see throwing it wide open yet," Reeve Derry Boyle added. Wright noted that council had been fair in offering the facility to other municipalities, and he presented a motion that the present regulation regarding residency be followed unless other municipalities agreed to share the operating costs. One of the applicants in question is,a former resident of Hensall. Council in that com- munity were asked if they were interested in sharing the facility but did not reply. There are apparently 10 units still vacant, but it was predicted that some other Exeter residents would be making application in the near future. Councillor Lossy Fuller ad- vised that she had contacted all but three of the present residents and all had been in agreement to name the building in memory of the late Helen Jermyn. The Jermyn family have also given approval to this suggestion. This Weekend's Extra Specials at DARLING'S Food Market EXETER Homemade Hamburg Patties 8LB.

Ron McIntosh of Bluewater Cable told the T-A Wednesday morning that his firm made the decision Tuesday and will notify the Exeter Public Utilities Commission that it will not be interested in entering into an agreement for use of the old water tower. Asked when work would begin on the new site west of Exeter, Mr. McIntosh said he expected the purchase and rezoning of the alternate site would take at least a month. Work on the erection of the tower and buildings required could begin after approval from the Department of Com- munication is received.

George Anderson, who identified the vases as being the ones taken from the church. Rev. Anderson said that a week after he identified the vases, two silver plates that had also been missing were found on a table at the back of the church, The two accused said they did not know where the vases had come from and they were found on a table at their residence when they came home from a party. Robert Cameron McArthur reported he put the vases in the box in the belief they belonged to someone who had forgotten them and would return to claim them, Both claimed they did not know the vases had been stolen, In other cases heard by Judge Flays and Justice of the Peace Douglas Wedlake, the following fines were levied: Cyril C. Caughlin, London, a fine of $150 and a licence suspension of three months on a charge of driving while his blood alcohol content was over 80 mgs. Frederick Allan Cole, London, $75 and a further licence suspension of six months on a charge of driving while disqualified. Terry A. MacDonald, Exeter $100 and licence suspension of three months on a charge of dangerous driving. He was charged on September 14 when he was spotted by Exeter Constable Jim McMeekin pulling onto Main St. from Wellington without stopping. The officer said he followed the car north at speeds that reached about 110 m.p.h. MacDonald stated he was going between 90 and 100. Laurie N. Dayman, RR 3 Kippen, $78 for creating un- necessary noise with a vehicle in Exeter. William R. Hutchinson, Thornbury; Patrick J.

In the winter Ivan is a hockey fan and is on the executive of the Lucan-Ilderton Jets, which won the Ontario Senior B cham- pionship this year. Work is ' progressing satisfactorily on Exeter's new administration offices in the former post office on Main St. "The workmanship seems to be quite in order," reported Garnet Hicks of the property committee, He said the committee had made some decisions regarding floor covering for the new offices and Reeve Derry Boyle said a minor change had been made in the plans to allow access to the council chambers and washrooms without having the general office area open at the same time. Later in the meeting, council approved a interim payment of $10,000 to MR Construction. This is about 30 percent of the total construction cost. — Continued from front page He said he had another prospect for a commercial building, but predicted the in- terested parties wouldn't wait two years for an answer. He wondered if he could get things rolling faster by going to a lawyer or by going over council's head to a provincial government agency. He was told the answer was no on both accounts. "Would it speed things up to strip zone the area?" Councillor Ted Wright questioned. Deputy-Reeve Tom MacMillan, a member of planning board, said that the ministry wouldn't allow any strip zoning in view of the fact the entire official plan and zoning bylaw were now under study. Gregus was told that he could still build residential homes on the land if he chose. When he left the meeting, Councillor Lossy Fuller asked if the answers given to Gregus indicated that the people in- terested in the chicken outlet would also have to wait up to two years for an answer, She was told this was probably the case and council decided to advise the St. Marys men of this fact. "It bugs me to turn down prospective businesses," Wright commented. Boyle said he hoped the planning board would soon fill council in on the steps they are taking in regard to the first draft of the rezoning that has been received from Damas & Smith, the consulting engineers who have made suggestions regar- ding rezoning. Wright suggested that council write the planning board and tell them of the urgency for action and this was approved. "I see no reason why the draft plan couldn't be brought to council," Boyle said. The draft plan was received from the London firm about two months ago, and then turned over to the planning board for study and recommendations, The draft plan was in itself delayed several months by Damas' & Smith.

BERNICE GRACE (NEEB) McADAMS Bernice Grace (Neeb) Exeter contractor Gus Gregus appeared before council this week to explain his plight surrounding a new home he recently completed on. Huron St. East. He didn't instal a septic tank because the sewer was running past the property but he finds out now he can't hookinto the sewer until the John St. pumping station is completed. The pumping station isn't scheduled for completion until the middle of October, Gregus was advised that it was not a council ruling, but rather one made by the ministry of the environment that no properties could be hooked into the new sewer installations until the pumping station is completed. "I don't think the town has the authority to allow a hook-up," works superintendent Glenn Kells stated. "Surely there's some way you can bend the law," Gregus replied. "Did you ever figure out what it costs to finance a $50,000 home for a month? Councillor Ted Wright won- dered if there were other people pressing for hookups now that the sewers were available. Kells replied there were several people having problems with septic tank systems who were wanting to hook into the service.
