CARMEL 237.3446 OPEN TILL 10 P.M. ormior Exeter council this week received a stiff warning from officials of the ministry of the environment regarding the operation of the local dump in Hay Township.

At Tuesday's regular meeting of council, clerk Louise Clip- perton read a letter from the office of Ontario Treasurer Darcy 1NIcKeough saying, "we feel the present maximum of one per cent per month is sufficient." To this Reeve Bob Sharen responded, "I think they are wrong. It's costing us too much money to carry these delinquent taxes." Sharen continued, "Also, it's not fair to other taxpayers. We carry these people in arrears at 12 percent a year. They pay more than 13 percent from financial institutions." The provincial letter said Grand Bend tax arrears most years amount to only 10 percent of the total collectable tax roll. Sharen said the latest financial statement showed this figure to be 17.6 percent for 1975 and 18.4 percent for the year previous. The reeve suggested council continue to pursue the matter and provide provincial authorities with more detailed information on the tax arrears situation, Gets certificate Exeter's assistant clerk- treasurer, Liz Bell, has received her municipal administration course certificate. The certificate is received upon successful completion of the course conducted by Queen's University in Kingston. She was congratulated for her accomplishment by members of council at their special meeting, Thursday, covering operations are non- existent, access gate is broken and has not been replaced, signs do not indicate operating con- ditions of site, site is inadequately supervised and serviced. "It should be noted that before we can recommend continuance of your site certificate, we shall require assurance in the form of a site operation plan and prospectus defining future operations," the ministry official stated. McMullen said that if council felt the requirements outlined were economically unfeasible, the town could consider closing the site and directing their waste to either Holmesville or Nasco, Works superintendent Glenn Kells said some improvement had been started at the dump, but advised there appeared little that could be done about the access gate. He said it had been fixed three times in recent weeks and each time it was quickly knocked down again by people trying to get access to the facility. Mayor Bruce Shaw suggested that a meeting of the sanitation committee be held immediately to discuss the matter. Compromise Continued from front page be included in the total cost of the centre project. He said this would add to the cost. "If it's an acceptable com- promise, I think the cost of the track' and relocating the barn should be in the total project," Councillor Wright advised. Mayor Bruce Shaw asked Jack Darling to have the horsemen explore the costs of shortening the track and barn and to make a recommendation on how the project could be undertaken., Recreation director Jim McKinley advised that during the centre construction, the track would not be available to the horsemen. At the conclusion of the meeting, King McDonald thanked council for "being broad- minded" on the subject and said lie was very pleased over the decision,
