He said that the Saddle Club did not make a profit from its shows and that the program was geared towards an activity to develop character in youth. He asked the committee to reduce the $25 fee. Vice-chairman Bob Pooley said the FAP had its reasons for the $25 fee and indicated that there was another side to the story, but did not comment further. The third sports delegation approaching RAP was the Exeter Tennis Club, represented by its president, Al Rankin. "Quite frankly, the proposed fees to the tennis club are more Lawrence Edward Foster of Exeter, aged 23, pleaded guilty Tuesday, May 11, 1976, in Judges Court in Exeter to theft of a cigarette lighter from the Stardust Restaurant, valued at $30, The lighter which was stolen Nov, 26, 1975 was recovered but was not suitable for resale.

You are paying $500 for ehe exclusive use of thecourts part of the time", he std• Rankin also wondered why tennis instruction could not be offered by the tennis club rather than RAP. Pooley noted that this had been considered by RAP and would have seemed like a good thing, except for the fact theta person would then have to become a member of the club in order to take lessons. He suggested that tennis lessons were a program that RAP was responsible for providing and said that for that reason there could be no ex- clusivity attached to them. "We're not trying to yank the lessons out of your jurisdiction, but we do feel that we need in- st ruction available to the public", Pooley said. The requests of the three delegations were considered by RAP during its closed budget session which followed the public meeting. Jim McKinlay in- dicated that the RAP budget could be ready to go to Exeter ,Council for final approval by the next council meeting Monday night . than shocking", he said, He noted that at present that there are no lights on the courts which restricts the club to no night activity. "Part of the reason for the tennis club is to promote tennis in Exeter", he remarked. "The only revenue that you are deriving from (he courts is from us. You are not charging the general public, It seems a little unfair." Rankin noted that the club was charged only $100 by RAP for use of the courts last year, but McKinlay responded that the tennis courts had only been available for about half of the season. Treasurer, Dave Zyluk, asked Rankin how he would propose charging the general public for the facility, but Rankin replied that it was probably an unfair question. "I just can't see $500 operating costs", he said, referring to the tentative charge to the tennis club by RAP. Jim McKinlay explained that there was a reason for the charge , 'the maintenance on the courts is minimal, but since the court has been presented to us by t he Lions Club,if we don't make it available to community at all limes, then we must corn- It was a busy night for RAP Monday as four different delegations approached the committee with requests. Following the public meeting, the committee went into closed session to consider its 1976 budget. Three of the delegations which came to the meeting had a common purpose, inexpensive rates for sports programs utilizing town facilities. The delegations represented organized baseball, tennis, and the Exeter Saddle Club. Although rates for playing ball on park diamonds had not been • set, rumor had gotten around that learns would be paying $20 a game this year, for use of the diamond, baseballs, and um- pires. Brian Hodgins represented the Exeter Royals. "I want to know why you are going to charge so much for diamonds in Exeter when the charge is so little elsewhere", he said. "I have -heard that we're going to be charged $20 a game. If they're going to charge us $20 a game we feettee get Some pretty good service," He added that it was bell groups Who had paid for the lights to be installed. This brought a response from RAP chairman, Ruth Durand, who said that RAP had been involved in those costs as well. Rec. Director, Jim McKinley added that construction costs associated with the lights were the lowest costs and that use of the lights and maintenance were more expensive in the long run. He added that it costs RAP "a lot of money to keep the ball diamonds going." Hodgins responded that the fast ball league in which the Royals play ball has decided to hire its own umpires and that because of the policy of the home team paying for the diamond, that it would cost the Royals $52 a Separate School Board sets budget increase game to play ball in Exeter. "We'll have to go somewhere else because we just cannot af- ford it", he said. It was also pointed out by the delegation, that the girls' softball learn would not be able to play this year based on the rumored rates. One member of the delegation said that the park where the girls were playing was "like a plowed field" with potholes pitting the diamond, Hodgins added that he had checked with other municipalities that provide ball diamonds and found Sylvan to be the next highest to Exeter, where they charge $10. He added, however, that the cheaper rates were supported by concessions stands in many instances. The delegation suggested that perhaps the ball teams could provide maintenance of the diamonds themselves to reduce costs. McKinlay said that RAP would no longer permit ball teams to drag the diamonds because a tractor owned by RAP had been "wrecked" two yeare ago when a ball team was using it for that purpose. RAP promised the delegation that it would look into the matter during its budget session einch followed the public meeting. Although final rates were not set during that session the rates were tentatively set a $175 for use of a diamond for the season. Jack Malone represented the Exeter Saddle Club. He had come to the RAP meeting to complain about the condition of the grounds for which the Club was being charged $25 for the season. "We have a show scheduled for Saturday night but I doubt that. we'll he able to have it because the east end is under six inches of water", he said. Observing that the Saddle Club had sent RAP a $175 cheque last year after their season had been completed, Malone said that it _ . About 50 Hensel] residents had no reservations Tuesday when they gave a unanimous vote of approval to annex land in order for the village to expand. The vote, which came at the end of the fourth workshop held to discuss future planning in the area, gave council a strong in- dication of the desire for con- trolled growth by the residents who attended the meeting. The number of residents who attended the fourth workshop was the best turn out the workshops have seen since they began, over a month ago. Annexation, dealt with a t the first meeting, is the key to Hensall's future. Hensall which occupies nearly 200 acres, has reached its outer boundaries. To continue growth, the village will have to annex. Most of the discussion Tuesday night dealt with the amount of land that would be needed for controlled growth. MRS.

Stratford trustee, Ronald Marcy, a member of the finance committee, said: "Since we started working on the budget three weeks ago we have decreased the mill rate by 1.94 mills over what we had originally expected. He said salaries and fringe benefits account for 95.74 percent of the increase and 68,72 percent of the total budget for 1976. Mr, Marcy said a breakdown of expenditures reveals increases of 19.97 percent in instruction, 3.7 percent in plant operation and maintainence, 14.74 percent in trasportation; while capital expenditure has been decreased by 52.21 percent, Mr, Marcy pointed out that this year the transportation grant has been reduced by 8 percent which may mean reductions in tran- sporte tion in September, He deplored the fact that in 1969 the Ministry of Education en- couraged the county boards of education, necessitating extra transportation, resulting in high transportation expenditures on the part of county boards, all in the name of equality of education. He said now this year with the cut back in the tran- sportation grant this will mean an increase in cost to the local tax payer .of an increase of $44,000, He regretted that the cut was all in one year, not a gradual redaction, Mr, Marcy said the board plans not to replace three of the full time teachers who have resigned already' nor does it plan to replace one consultant who resigned recently, Two portable classrooms will be vacated, one at Seaforth due to declining enrolment and one at -Kingsbridge where the new Bruce-Grey County separate 'school will absorb pupils.

Local taxpayers will be required to contribute 14.72 percent to this year's budget. Jack Lane, Supeitntendent of Business and Pittance, presented girl injured...

A total of $3,376,716 is owed to all of IF creditors. Officials from the Ontario Department of Labor were present on Friday to explain obligations and rights to J.F. Company officials and to the employees. Although employees who have worked at the company for less than two years are en- titled to one week's severance pay with a maximum of eight weeks severance pay owing to employees of 15 years or longer, no severance pay will be granted unless all of the secured and preferred creditors have been paid first and there are still company assets left over to meet the total credits owing to all Unsecured creditors. Since the Clarkson Company has only about $600,000 to work with in total company assets, there would proably be no money left over, once the total of $1,142,551 owed to secured preferred, and contingent creditors had been dealt with by receivers for J.F.
