Plan talks
on parking
Property committee chairman
Steve Pfaff was authorized,
Tuesday, to call a meeting bet
ween his committee, the parking
authority and the Downtown
Business Improvement board of
management to discuss the
possible purchase of a property
on Andrew St. for parking pur
poses.
Pfaff advised council that the
cost of purchasing the property
and turning it into a parking lot
would be between $60,000 and
$70,000 and he said council should
ascertain whether the
businessmen were prepared to
foot the bill for that expenditure.
He suggested there would be
some opposition to such a move,
not only from some businessmen
but also residents along the
street.
“We can’t make a move until
the businessmen show us they are
prepared to pay the cost,”
Councillor Derry Boyle
suggested.
Councillor Lossy Fuller
recommended the meeting of the
groups involved and Mayor Shaw
asked Pfaff to proceed on that
suggestion.
Under the Ontario Municipal
Act, the cost of purchasing land
and developing a parking lot
could be passed on to
businessmen in the core area.
It's still not
designated
The Exeter Town Hall, one of
the major issues of 1977, reap
peared on the council agenda this
week and a bylaw which is
required to enable the local
Heritage Association to receive
restoration funds from the
Ontario Heritage Foundation was
held up after a third reading.
The purpose of the bylaw was
to designate the building as a
heritage property under the
Ontario Heritage Act and it
appeared to be ,on the way to
approval until Rebve Si Simmons
asked who would be responsible
for the upkeep of the structure if
the local Hertiage Foundation
disbanded.
It was suggested that council
would then have control and
could do as they wished with the
building, but Simmons said he
wasn’t certain about that in view
of the fact a sizeable grant has
been received for its restoration.
Mayor Bruce Shaw, council’s
liaison on the Foundation, said he
wasn’t certain if there was any
stipulation accompanying the
grant.
“We should know where we
stand,” argued Councillor Derry
Boyle.
Shaw said he hoped that
another two week delay in ap
proving the bylaw wouldn’t
create a problem for the Heritage
Foundation, who have been
waiting several months for
council to designate the facility
so they can receive the grant.
Only one injury
in area crashes
Only one injury was reported in
the four accidents investigated
over the New Year’s holiday
period by the Exeter OPP.
That injury was of a rfiinor
nature and was sustained by
Judith Molesworth, who was a
passenger in a car which went out
of control on Highway 83 at the
Perth-Huron boundary on Sun
day.
The vehicle was driven by
David Molesworth, Burlington. It
rolled onto its roof.
Damage was estimated at
$2,000 by Constable Wally
Tomasik.
The other three accidents also
involved only one vehicle.
On Sunday, a vehicle driven by
James Warwick, Exeter, went
out of contol on Highway 83 east
of Highway 21 and struck a post
and tree.
Damage in that one was set at
$850 by Constable Bob Whiteford.
In an accident on Wednesday, a
vehicle driven by Ross Leibold,
RR 3 Zurich, went out of control
on concession 8-9 of Hay and
struck two fence posts. Constable
Al Quinn invstigated and
estimated total damage at $55,
The other accident involved a
snow vehicle driven by John
Munn, RR 2 Hensail. It entered a
ditch on sideroad 15-16 of Hay and
rolled over. Constable Jack
Straughan set damage at $1,800 in
the Thursday accident.

Fail to reach agreement
over parkland agreement
the
of
the .
Exeter council made two un
successful attempts to approve
an agreement over development
of parkland which they share
with the Ausable Bayfield Con
servation Authority at their
meeting this week.
After two motions were
defeated, it was decided to meet
with representatives of the
Authority to clarify ownership
and development of the lands in
question.
T'hose lands include
property located west
Riverview Park as well as
property recently purchased
from the Elliott family on the
west side of Main St. in the river
flatlands.
The Authority had presented a
draft agreement for council and
it called on council to pay for all
development and maintenance on
the lands. The Authority would be
responsible for paying taxes and
repairs on the house located
beside the swimming pool.
Reeve Si Simmons and
Councillor Derry Boyle led a fight
to have council and the authority
share in development and
maintenance costs.
“The Authority have all the
control and we have all the ex
penses,” Boyle argued.
Simmons suggested that many
people from outside Exeter enjoy
use of the parkland.
It was learned that in the
recent purchase of the Elliott
.property, Exeter paid $5,936.80,
while the Authority’s share was
$659.64.
Boyle and Simmons presented
an amendment to have the two
share in the development and
maintenance costs and it ended
up in a split vote with support
coming only from Steve Pfaff.
Councillors Wright, Fuller and
Patterson opposed the motion
and Ottewell said he didn’t know
how to vote.
Mayor Bruce Shaw then cast
the deciding vote to send it down
to defeat.
A vote on the original motion
which called for the town to be
responsible for the costs was also
defeated and Mayor Shaw
suggested council discuss the
matter with the Authority in an
attempt to reach some solution.
At its final meeting in
December, the board of manage
ment of the South Huron rec cen
tre decided to open all meetings
to the public.
The board also agreed to meet
on a regular basis on the second
and fourth Monday of each
month. Starting time for those
meetings will be 8:00 p.m.
In other business, the board:
Directed the administrator to
send a registered letter to the
directors of the Huron Hockey
School indicating the need for an
immediate reply to the proposal
of the board for the school to use
the facility this summer.
Agreed to pay Jenny Rowe a
retainer of $25 per month for ser
vices rendered.
Authorized an expense account
of $125 for the administrator to
attend the Ontario Recreation
Society conference in January.
Tabled to the next meeting the
questions of the fair board’s use
of the facility and the future of
using the Scout hall for senior
citizen activities.
Decided to commence an in
vestigation into the possibilities
of bringing legal action against
the contractors who installed the
ice plant. This action will con
cern the large electrical use in
November. The bill was around
$2,400 for the month.
Asked the administrator to in
vestigate the parking problem
and try possible solutions and
also to do a preliminary study on
the cost of improving the sports
fields and surrounding area.
LEAVE 'EM THERE
Exeter council this week
concurred with a resolution from
Collingwood which calls for
reinstatement of the death
penalty, tighter gun controls and
the abolishment of weekend
passes to criminals who are
serving jail terms.
The lone opposition to sup
porting the resolution came from
Councillor Ken Ottewell, who
suggested it was rather vague.
He noted there were any number
of charges under the Criminal
Code which resulted in jail terms
for other than dangerous
criminals.
However, Councillor Ted
Wright said it was “rather
foolish” for the taxpayers to have
to pay for catching law breakers
and then to have the police spend
their time catching them again
when they continued their illegal
activities while on passes from
jail.
COMPARE OUR
CURRENTLY PAYING
Reach decision over
'unwanted' property
decided to deed it to each
property owner as lots are sold.
The only cost involved was that
the new owner pay for any legal
costs that may arise.
This week, the first of those
agreement was reached with
B.M.J. Laye, who recently
purchased a lot on Eastern Ave.
However, Reeve Si Simmons
set a lengthy debate into motion
when he noted there could be a
problem establishing set backs
for new homes on the street,
depending on whether the set
back was to be from the property
line (without the 22 feet) or from
the street allowance.
“We have to establish a set
back or it will look funny,”
Councillor Ted Wright com
mented.
Council finally decided on two
motions to correct any problems
that may arise.
The first motion stipulates that
the 22 feet will be deeded to the lot
purchasers and the second
motion stipulates that no building
permits will be approved until
such time as the owner has ac
cepted a deed for that extra
property.
While the price of land con
tinues to climb in Exeter, it was
learned this week there is some
land that some people don’t
want. . .even at bargain prices.
The problem stems from a
decision made several years ago
to have Eastern Ave. as an 88-foot
street. This was later changed by
council to the normal 66-foot
width.
At that time, it was decided to
give the 22 feet back to developer
Gib -Dow, but he later gave it
back to council. Council
