While most of us are en-
joying a winter where we
don't have to shovel the
sidewalk or worry about
driving conditions', there are
those who are wishing for
blizzards,. People who
depend on snow banks and
low temperatures to earn a
living are' finding this very
mild winter hard to take
For those in the business of
plowing and removing snow,
this winter has been "very
frustrating" according to
Bob Jones. Jones runs a
gravel business in the
summer, but depends on
snow to keep him busy in the
winter, He has agreements
to keep parking lots clear in
such places as schools and
businesses.
Jones saysthat it's beentOo
wet for working with gravel,
He estimates that his income
is down about 85 percent this
winter.
Jones' employee 1VI'ike
Cushman has been on what
they call the "snow watch".
Cushman gets up each
morning at four o'clock to
see if any snow has fallen
doting the night, but as yet
they haven't had to go out
that early.
Jones says he's been in the
snow plowing business for 20
years and he's never seen a
winter like this.
Brian Sweitzer echoes
Jones* statement, claiming
that thi 'is the worst year yet
for snow plowing. Sweitzer
says that he's had to keep
busy repairing equipment.
During the summer months,
he does excavation work, but
there are no new housing
developments to work on
right now. Sweitzer says that
he gets paid by the hour for
his snow clearing work, and
therefore has had no income
lately.
Fuel dealers and people in
the home heating business
say that this has been one"of
the worst years on record.
Fina dealer Dave Moore
reckons that his business is
down about 30 percent this
winter, He says that while
the spring-like weather
accounts for most of that
decrease, the increasing
number of wood-burners has
also cut into his profits.
Jim Rowe, an area Texaco
dealer, estimates that his
business is down about 30
percent from last year at this
point. Rowe agrees that
many people are using fire
places and wood stoves this
winter which cuts into his
income, Many people are
becoming more energy
conscious andeutting back on
their heat, he says.
Esso dealer Cliff Russell
says that their business is
down about 10 percent due to
the mild weather.
Fuel dealers say thatthere
is no compensation for them
because of the mild weather,
other than the fact that it
doesn't cost as much to get
their trucks around when
there's no snow. Many of the
dealers said that they have
had to look for new accounts
to help their business. One
dealer pointed out that while
the price of oil to the con-
sumer may go up, the
dealer's profit margin
remains the same.
Some snow removal
workers and fuel agents say
that they are watching with
interest to see if ski resorts
get any compensation from
the government to make up
for the lack of bilsiness.
Most are skeptical 'that any
grants or loans will be given
out because, as one man
said, "you know the business
is a gamble anyway. Another
problem with helping out
those who are losing
business due to the lack of
snow, is finding a place to
draw the line, many said.

No decision was made by
Exeter council this week on a
formal request from • the
Masonic Lodge to forego
property tax on the new hall
built by the lodge behind the
Exeter OPP office on High-
way 4 north.
/ The matter was turned
over to the executive and
finance committee for study
after lodge members B.W.
Tuckey and Don Webster
appeared before council to
ask for the tax relief.
In a letter accompanying
the request, Tuckey said a
"small unpaid balance"
remains on the hall and since
it is owned by a non-profit
organization, asked that the
facility be free from taxation
for a "period of time."
When asked by Councillor
Jay Campbell how many
years they were suggesting,
Tuckey replied that he was
hoping council would see fit
to defer taxes for seven
years. "We'll be on our feet
before that," Tuckey added.
Tuckey noted there was
some precedent in that the
local Legion had not paid
taxes on their building for a
period of five or seven years
and Campbell said the local
curling club had also been
granted similar relief.
However, clerk Liz Bell
indicated the curling club
never did get! tax relief.

Tuckey, said the lodge
member's had been can-
vassed two or three times for
funds to pay for the building
and added that it would, "be a
shame" to go back to the
members again for ad-
ditional funds, although he
reported that sonie members
had not contributed.
Councillor Don Cameron
suggested the matter be sent
to the committee for study
and recommendation,
although Campbell indicated
he was prepared to make a
decision Monday night,
noting that the lodge had
made contributions to the
community.
In his letter, Tuckey ex-
plained that the Masonic
lodges throughout the
country contribute large
sums of money to assist the
poor and suffering of the
country in general, and in
more special cases by
sponsoring the burns
hospital and assisting people
needing help with their
hearing.
Council learned that the
taxes on the building last
year would have been $1,308
if the facility had been oc-
cupied for the entire year.

Are budget was
lower than expected
' This year's budget has
been set at $62,766. The
shares were outlined as
Exeter $31,383,' Usborne
$18,830, Stephen $8,787, Hay
$3,765.
A $20,000 addition to the
south bay was removed from
the budget until the four
councils can study the
matter further.
Mayor Derry Boyle told
Exeter council this week that
the addition would be needed
for the new pumper which
Will be ordered in 1981 for
delivery in 1982. He said the
question was'whether. Exeter
wanted to own all the
property on their own as they
presently do, or whether
some cost-sharing should be,
worked out with the other
three municipalities.
He suggested that if the
townships were to join in the
capital cost of the new ad-
dition, they may want to
share in the ownership of the
entire facility which was
purchased by Exeter for
$28,000.
Councillor Ted Wright said
he thought the town should
maintain ownership of the
building to avoid any
problems such as those being
experienced by other fire
area boards in the district.
Minutes of the December
19 meeting of the fire board
showed that Hay Reeve Jack
Tinney has been elected
chairman for this year.
He was asked to see if the
county museum would be
interested in having the 1944
pumper put on display in
their facility.

withdrawn, but it was,
despite some question of the
procedural legality of the
move.
Deputy-Reeve Harold
Patterson then presented a
motion to approve the in-
creases and it was backed by
Cameron, Epp and Wright,
with Campbell, Williamson
and MacGregor opposed.
Cameron said the board
may not have the authority,
but they were operating
under the assumption they
do and had discussed
salaries in good faith with
the employees.
At the end of the
discussion, Campbell
presented a motion that the
ministry of recreation and
culture be asked to conduct
an inquiry into the bylawed
relationship between Exeter
council and the board of
management to (1) clearly
outline the recreation
financial management
responsibilities of both
parties and (2) make
recommendations as to how
to establish a sound working
relationship.
The motion was approved
by council.
A report given to council
shows the 1980 salaries for
the four full-time employees
as follows: recreation ad-
ministrator, $17,082;
facilities manager, $14,826;
facilities supervisor, $12,999;
