The accident occurred on Friday at 4:05 p.m. when vehicles operated by Beatrice Tate, Fruitland, and Henry Van- derspek, RR 1 Woodham, collided at the intersection of Andrevy and Sanders St. Damage was estimated at $700 by Constable Jim McMeekin. The wilful damage complaint was received from Andy Blommaert of the Save U Gas Bar on Main St, The glass window on a soft drink cooler was broken. Blood stains on the glass in- dicate the person responsible injured himself in doing the damage. Nothing was reported missing from the cooler and damage was set at $25. On Sunday, Kevin Delbridge reported that a stake truck had been stolen from the yard at Exeter Produce & Storage, The vehicle was later recovered in Stephen Township. Constable McMeekin was in charge of both investigations. Council briefs Residents on Huron St. East, who complained to council last Meeting about ponding in their back yards, may soon have some relief. It was indicated this week that Usborne council have had a drain petition from residents in that area as well and a municipal drain is being planned. If that takes place, the residents in Exeter will share in the cost. This week, a letter was received from C,S. MacNaughton adding his name to those who have been plagued by the water. He urged council to attempt to rectify the situtation before the heavy rainfall this autumn. He also indicated that the condition of the street has been improved, Residents have been complaining about the road situation since work on the sewers commenced. Several have lost mufflers on the rough terrain. Consulting engineer B,M, Ross advised Aztec Construction that operations would have to cease on all main lines of the sewer until the task of backfilling and repairing the construction site had been improved. Under terms of the contract, the crew responsible for restoration is to keep within 1,000 feet of the mainline work. Exeter council learned Monday it would cost up to $500 to have a search done of properties in the area of the old post office to determine ownership of laneways required to give access to parking. The town's solicitors, Raymond & McLean, said they did not have time to undertake the work themselves as it would require almost a full week of searching at the registry office. He said a record searcher could be hired and the cost would be about $500. That's a bill that council ap- parently won't have to face. Elmer D. Bell, 'Q.C., spent some time at the registry office recently searching the titles, apparently at the request of his wife, Councillor Barb Bell. She reported two weeks ago that there were two right-of-ways into the property. One leads off James St. behind The Times- Advocate and the other off Andrew St. between properties owned byLouis Day and the late Stella Southcott. Council approved providing an outlet to residents in the area of Waterloo and Mill St. fon a drain they plan to eliminte ponding. The PUC will also share some of the cost because the water builds up around a ground transformer and this has been blown out on twobccasions due to the water. The town has been advised verbally they will receive a credit ,for the five months rent paid on the former post office, The rent was paid as soon as approval for use of the building had been received, but council were delayed in getting renovations undertaken because the lease had not been signed by department of public works of- ficials. That lease has still not been signed, although renovations have been started. Approval was given to ft request for the establishepient gf a TV repair shop in a private residence on William St. Members felt the request was, within the regulations contained in the zoning bylaw. Exeter council agreed this week to officially apologize for suggestions made at a recent meeting that the PUC was responsible for a dust problem on George St. Council had written the PUC complaining that the street had not been properly cleared of dirt following some excavation, However, the PUC replied this week that the street had been cleaned up and the fault actually rested with the contractor in- volved in the Riverview Estates subdivision. After council agreed to the apology Councillor Ted Wright wondered what would be done about the dust problem that still remained, Works superintendent Glenn Kells suggested it was up to the contractor to rectify the problem.
