Need education
for dump users
Sanitation commitee chairman
Garnet Hicks Wondered this week
how Exeter residents could be
educated to show more con-
sideration in the method of set-
ting out refuse to be picked up by
the garbage collectors.
He said many businesses set
out garbage in a haphazard
mariner and it was creating extra
Work for the town crew.
Mayor Bruce Shaw noted that a
local bylaw gives some guidelines
on the type of containers that
must be used and suggested that
people creating problems Should
be advised by letter that their
garbage will not be picked up if
they fail to comply with the
regulations.
Reeve Derry Boyle and
Councillor Ted Wright reminded
Hicks that councitmemberalwere
more concerned about the large
amount of refuse being set out for
special garbage pickups each
month arid that the, sanitation
committee had been asked to
consider this situation.
"We'll try to come up
with something,"' Hicks Stated.
"We'll wait anxiously for the
solution," Mayor Shaw replied.
Hicks also said the committee
hopes to find the 'culprits"
responsible for breaking the lock
on the dump gate or, those who
dump their trash at the gateway
whenithey find theaccess closed.

payments will be credited to
them once they assume oc-
cupancy.

dition to be used as a detour route
and it was poor advertising for
the town to puteteavy traffic over
a street which had recently been
excavated.
Wright also complained that
the detour routes were not
marked properly and some
drivers didn't know where they
were supposed to go.
He said closing the street was
an "unwise decision".
Hoogenboone said the mer-
catts' group would have gone to
get the proper signs, but he was
advised by works superintendent
Glenn Kells they were not
available.
Deputy-Reeve Tom MacMillan
entered the discussion at this
point to note that the debate was
just a hassle and that council had
made a decision to not close the
street and it was a ease of
anarchy when someone else
decided to Make other rules.
He suggested the country
Would fall apart under such
cOriditions,
Mayor Bruce Shaw added that
the Board of Trade had been sent
a letter indicating council's
decision arid he hoped that next
year the event wail(' be planned
properly.
Councillor Barb Bell suggested
part of the problem was a lack of
communication and Councillor
Harold Patterson urged the
Board of Trade to not consider
having the sidewalk sale on a
Priddy because traffic through
town was too heavy.
He suggested the machines
would be suitable for the works
department shed and the new
administration offices. Samples
of the productwere given to some
members of council on their
arrival at Monday's meeting.
However the matter wasn't
discused after Palmer left.

Government adds
to the problem!
Exeter is about one year ahead
of a suggestion by the ministry of
the environment that
municipalities create and enforce
bylaws, prohibiting open burning.
Council has already passed a
bylaw banning the burning of
leaves and other refuse in open
fires in the community,
The letter from the ministry
noted that open burning adds to
pollution and is particularly
offensive to people with
respiratory problems.
Several other letters of in-
formation were received from
government ministries and this
prompted Councillor Ted Wright
to suggest "we wouldn't have so
much burning if the government
didn't send out so much
material,"
