During his discussion with council and the planning board, Keenan advised that his firm's studies indicated Exeter had enough vacant land to house an additional 2,600 people. With Exeter's population ex- pected to be held at around 5,000 due to the limitations of the river to handle sewage, this indicates there is enough space in the community to house this population without any extension of boundaries, However, the planner noted that available industrial land was Alexander appeared to be the a problem. best move because it provided The planners have suggested the shortest route to the down- that the industrial area off High- town area and would be the one way 83 East be extended further people would tend to take.

Local contractor Gus Gregus was in attendance at the meeting on other business and took the occasion to ask Keenan when the changes to the zoning bylaw and official plan would be completed, He explained he was interested in having his property on the west side of Main St. across from the Brewer's Retail rezoned to commercial. Keenan said he should now make an official request, and if that request ended up in Toronto along with the proposed changes being suggested in the plan by council and planning board, there was a good chance it would be quickly approved, On the question of timing, Keenan said that he would hope to be in a position to have council call public meetings on the zoning and plan changes in October. He said he would contact Mayor Shaw when he was ready for the next meeting to discuss other changes. "The sooner the better," Shaw stated as Keenan left the meeting.

When asked by Mayor Shaw if Usborne could not control development in the park, Deputy- Charge pair over breakin Two Crediton mon,Allan R.and Gordon Baird, have been charged with break, enter and theft as a result of police investigation into a breakin at a London automotive supply centre over the weekend. Ken Westman Automotive was broken into and a considerable quantity of tires, rims, car- buretors and cables were taken. London police, assisted by Exeter Constable George Robertson and OPP Constable Bill Osterloo, recovered about $500 worth of the stolen property Monday night. Other charges are pending in the case. Three reports of theft were investigated this week by officers of the Exeter police department. Sometime Wednesday about 10 gallons of gasoline was taken from a Canadian National Railways truck parked near the station on Brock street. Con- stable Alex Balazs is in- vestigating. Over the weekend a small amount of money was taken from Ersman's Bakery at 443 Main street. The theft is" being in- vestigated by Constable George Robertson. Friday, Martin Van Raay reported to police that a wallet containing identification and some money was taken from his motor vehicle while it was parked at the SHDHS lot. Constable Ron Fice is the investigating officer. In the only accident on Exeter streets this week, vehicles driven by Erik Gravlev, 228 Kingscourt, Exeter and Howard Smale, Hensall collided on Main street, just south of George. Constable McMeekin in- vestigated and estimated damages at $750. As the result of investigation by Constable Jim McMeekin, a London youth has been charged with using licence plates registered to another vehicle. A vehicle driven by the youth in question was stopped by Con- stable McMeekin about 3 a.m. Friday. During the week local officers have issued 23 Highway Traffic Act violations seven summonses for liquor violations and one person has been charged with impaired driving. Continued from front page Commission manager Hugh Davis presented council and commission with estimates of the cost of installing water mains and hookups as far south as Norwood Village. Total cost would be $32,020.00, If the commission were requested to do a similar in- stallation inside Exeter's 1-bdundaries, Mr, Davis said, the ' property owners would have to pay in advance or the work would be done under Local Improvement and the town would make a lump sum payment to the commission and recover the costs on taxes against the properties involved over the next 20 or 30 years. Commissioner Murray Greene pointed out that the town has a bylaw restricting water services to properties within the town limits but it could be cir- cumvented with town council approval. It was also pointed out that the possibility of annexing the area was remote since the province would require that most, if not all, of the suitable residential land currently available within the town limits be exhausted before any extension of the reeve Bill Morley said that although the township is working on a secondary plan, at the present time there is no zoning on the property and a building permit is not even required. Mayor Shaw suggested that Usborne council could pass legislation requiring permits for all construction. Mr. Morley said at the present time the township worked through the county land severance committee. The deputy-reeve said that the park is surveyed for 150 sites but Mr. Thompson's lawyer, Mr. Morley said, has indicated he would like the entire area zoned R4 which would allow trailers. Chairman Ted Pooley summed up the situation when he said that the commission would like to co- operate with Usborne but didn't know how it was possible. It was suggested that Usborne consider the costs involved and investigate the willingness of those affected to pay their share and perhaps come back to the Commission with a concrete proposal, Bomb threat is received GEORGE E.

At their last meeting, council agreed to continue the crossing guard service without any assistance from the county. At present, the two share the costs on a 50-50 basis and that will terminate at the end of December, Councillor Ted Wright said he couldn't see the argument presented by the school board that they were not responsible in that they admitted being responsible for students on buses until they reach their homes.
