Two pay $300 fines in court
Two fines of $300 each
were levied by Judge W.G.
Cochrane in Exeter court,
Tuesday. The court sitting
marked the initial
appearance of Huron's new
Crown Attorney, Garry
Hunter.
The $300 fines were levied
against Douglas Allan
Barrett, Huron Park, and
Thomas Anthony McVeeney,
Ailsa Craig. They were
given alternative sentences
of 30 days in jail.
Barrett appeared on a
mischief charge laid on Oc
tober 22, after he advised
police a motorcycle had
been stolen, when in fact it
Tender considered
for radio system
Canadian General Elec
tric Co. Ltd. has submitted
the low bid to supply and in-
stal a central dispatch
system for the five
municipal police forces in
Huron. The firm’s bid of
$128,361 was $13,373 lower
than the only other bid
received when the tenders
were opened by represen
tatives from Wingham, Ex
eter, Goderich and Seaforth
on Monday. Clinton officials
did not attend.
The contract was ten
tatively approved by the
representatives and is sub
ject to approval of the On
tario Police Commission.
The OPC will pay 75 percent
of the cost of the equipment,
which includes radios,
transmitters and a tower.
The remaining 25 percent
will be shared on a per-
capita basis by the county’s
five towns.
Mike McInerney, and OPC
advisor, said he doesn’t an
ticipate problems and the
contract should be approved
by mid-September. “We es
timated close to that cost.
The bids are normal,”
said.
When discussion among
the five towns opened on a
central communication
system, the anticipated cost
had been around $72,000.
However, this was substan
tially increased when it was
decided to go for a
microwave system rather
than a telephone system.
The operating costs of the
former are considerably
lower and Exeter Mayor
Bruce Shaw said the saving
for the municipalities in that
regard would be con
siderable on an annual basis.
The headquarters for the
new system will be located
in Goderich and will be
operated by that municipali
ty.
It is expected to be in
operation by next June, ac
cording to the OPC, but Ex
eter Chief Ted Day said
General Electric officials
indicated it could be earlier.
had not. Judge Cochrane ad
vised the Huron Park man
he would not be given time
in which to pay the fine
because he already had out
standing fines and had not
made restitution for
previous incidents when he
had been ordered to do so by
the court.
McVeeney was fined an an
assault charge, arising out
of an incident at Club
Albatross in Huron Park on
May 27. He was given 60
days in which to pay the
penalty.
Gerald Herman Schrans,
RR 3 Denfield, was fined a
total of $400, arising out of
two charges. He was fined

another vehicle and he had
gone to the OPP office for
assistance. However, he
became so upset over the in
cident he tossed the tire iron
through the sign.
