That bylaw stipulates that no TV aerials will be per­ mitted in Riverview Estates, but council learned Monday night that it doesn’t cover CB aerials. Developer Len Veri had requested a ruling from council following a request from one of his tenants in the mobile home park to erect a CB aerial. The original bylaw had prohibited TV aerials so the area would not become cluttered, but council members agreed that technically there was no way they could prohibit a CB aerial. However, Councillor Ken Ottewell suggested that Veri be advised to use his own discretion and also that council members would not be in favor of seeing a proliferation of aerials in the mobile home park. Councillor Ted Wright raised a question about the interference that could result from such aerials on other communication systems (such as TV, stereo, etc.) but members appeared to be divided on their opinions as to how extensive that problem could be. * * * Exeter council decided this week to hold in abeyance a bill from home owner Ken Inch for costs in­ curred in attempting to find a sanitary sewer lateral for his property. Inch advised council by letter that it took over five hours to locate the connec­ tion because it was some 20 feet from where it was sup­ posed to be. He listed his total expense at $190 for a plumber, a plumber’s helper and a backhoe and operator to be on the site for those five hours. Works superintendent Glenn Kells said there was justification for council to pay some of the costs, but he said he thought the town had already paid for a bill presented by the plumber in­ volved. Council decided to withhold a decision until it LIFE INSURANCE FOR LOANS?

Chairman Steve Pfaff said there was no obligation in placing the order now, but by doing so, council would be guaranteed a better selection.★ * * Council turned over to the public works committee a request from local developer Mel Gaiser that council pay a portion of the paving costs between the road and the sidewalk at the new apartment building on Senior St. Gaiser attended Monday’s meeting, noting that he was under the impression that council would pay half the paving cost as well as half the cost involved in con­ structingasidewalk. Council had paid their share of the sidewalk, but didn’t contribute to the pav­ ing. Gaiser said council should reconsider that deci­ sion. He noted that the same situation would exist at the new Bank of Nova Scotia building on Main St. as the firm hoped to have the curb area between the road and sidewalk paved. He noted that gravelling this area merely led to a situation where the gravel was spread out onto the street. Reeve Si Simmons said he was sympathetic to Gaiser’s proposal and suggested he would like to go one step further and make the shar­ ing of such costs retroac­ tive, alluding to the fact he had paid similar bills in the past without council’s assistance. Gaiser said that with developers required to pay for services and then to get wacked with a big tax bill for the property was “a lit­ tle hard to take”. Mayor Bruce Shaw said the developer had a good argument and suggested council look at the situation in general and then deal with specific cases.

Staff photo Building permit value dips, one new house approved Sugar and Spice Continued from Page 4 with pennies they found’ in some forgotten drawer. Small boys should be treated like monkeys. They should be kept in cages containing lots of things to climb on, sawdust on the floor, and lots of peanuts lying around for the picking. It’s not really what the boys are do­ ing to us or the house. It’s what they’re doing to our marriage. We’re so ex­ hausted and rattled that we’re recriminating. “I was up with that child at 6:15.” “Yeah, but who changed his diapers?” “Who got them their breakfast?” “Sure, but who took them out for a walk and broke up three fights?” And we start to shout. And the kids wink at each other and grin. Building permits valued at $58,300 were approved by building inspector Doug Triebner during the past month. Most of that total was for a new home being erected at 273 Kingscourt by J.P. Ducharme Homes Ltd. Permits for residential renovations were approved for the following: Jim Darl­ ing, renovate bathroom at 252 Sanders E.; Don Heywood, renovate house at 241 Huron E.; G.W. Par­ sons, re-roof house, at 167 Main; Patrick Shaw, renovate house at 192 An­ drew; Alma Preszcator renovate house at 275 William. Exeter United Church received a permit for renovations and commercial renovations were approved for Gerald Fergusson, Andy DeBoer, Russell Electric and Exeter Billiards. Garages were approved for Bill Baechler, 47 Huron W. and Don Hooper, 288 William and a tool shed per­ mit was granted to Robert Hume, 117 Mill. Two demolition permits were also approved during the month. Local builder Jan VanHaarlen attended -Mon­ day’s council meeting to seek a decision about erec­ ting a commercial building on property across the road from Les Pines Motel. The area is presently designated as residential, but it is planned to change it to commercial in the new of­ ficial plan and zoning bylaws. He said that the Ausable Bayfield Authority had agreed to allow construction on the site, which borders the flood plain, and he said it would be necessary to have soil tests taken because the area is re-filled land. He said he wanted some idea on council’s position before proceeding with the investigative costs involved in determining if construc­ tion could be undertaken on the property. After some discussion, Mayor Shaw asked VanHaarlen to give council another two weeks to con­ sider the matter.
