At the rec board's meeting monthly. Mayor Bruce Shaw called for a revision in the rate structure presently applied to the hall. It was Shaw's contentitin shared by the other board members present that at, sometime a fee structure be established so as to cover the extra costs of set up and clean, up' following' a large affair at the all. Rec administrator Kirk Armstrong told the board there -- was- a direct relationship between his clean-up costs and the number of people who attended a function. There -was also con- siderable discussion lead by Howard Pym about the large takes from the bars of wedding receptions. George Godbolt suggested a system be devised where the board gets more when the facility gets used more. Shaw suggested some differentiation between charitable and profit making Exeter court Continued from front page found in a car on August 27 and the accused went to the police and advised that the drugs were his and not those of the car's driver. A London resident, William Robert Locking, was also fined 8100 or 10 days on a charge of posses- sion laid,September 17 when OPP checked a vehicle near the beach at Grand Bend: There were three other passengers in the• vehicle, but Locking admitted ownership. Jail terms. Three youths were given jail terms when they appeared on charges of thefts of over 8200. Paul Milton Day, Parkhill, and Cameron Edward Cole, Dundas. were each sentenc- ed to three months. The pair have already been in jail for two months and the terms were in addition to the _times. already spent. Steven Brinn Franko, 18, Hensall, was sentenced to 30' days. but will be allowed`,to work during the day time. The three were charged after stealing a car belong- ing to an acquaintance with whom they had, been par- tying. A fight broke out between the trio and the car owner and the latter and his girl friend were beaten before the accused took the car. Raymond Gordon Keller, Dashwood. was fined 8200 or 20 days after pleading guilty to taking a motor vehicle without the owner's consent. The vehicle in- question was taken from his brother's 'car lot and returned before_ it was knovTff to be missing. Police became involved due to some minor damage sustained by the vehicle. An 'Exeter man.

WHITING'S WAREHOUSE Main St. Exeter 235-1964 functions would have to be made. - The board agreed with Armstrong that if a different fee structure was arrived at, it wauld'nor become operative until after the new year. The role of volunteers in the running of the bar for the rec centre came up for dis- • cussion with Godbolt saying he liked the system but that when he was on a duty there were a few problems of not having enough people on duty or -not knowing where everything was. He said the facility must be run in a proper manner to make sure the centre's reputation is not;diminished. Armstrong agreed with Godbolt, saying the volunteer ,.system "hadn't worked out that badly" with most of the problems taking place after a function was over. _ When the number of hours Armstrong was working came up for discussion, Armstrong said he would not mind working weekends to ensure everything is ' func- tioning properly for the dances or wedding recep- tions. "I'm very concerned about the reputation of this place", Armstrong said. - In a move designed to en- sure the proper running of the rec centre, the board of management will make a request to the councils of Stephen, Usborne and Ex- eter that the new represen- tatives on the board from the municipalities assume their positions effective the first meeting of the new year. ' The move was prompted when it became known that most of the members of the board might not be back. Mayor Bruce Shaw and George Godbolt said they would definitely not be returning. Both Bob Down and Jerry MacLean indicated they also might step down Godbolt wh8 was ap- pointed to fill the seat left vacant by John Burke said he had enjoyed his six months on the board but that- , it was just becoming too much of a strain on his time. Shaw said he would not be back. The board will - recom- mend to council that they draw up next year's budget. fee structure and perform the review of Armstrong's job. In what will hopefully close the books on the rec centre's deficiencies, of- ficials from Cambrian Con- sultants, the engineers for project, are expected to make their final inspection of the facility shortly. One of the officials representing Cambrian will be president of the i?irm George Naoum.

Noting that council would he faced with demands for wage increases. new sidewalks, roads, sanitary and storm sewers. he said council would have to a§- tablish priorities early. on how money was to be - allocated. "I_liope we can hold the mill- rate to at least last year's rate." he said. "I don't think people can stand much more of a mill in- crease anti council will have to consider carefully before adding capital expenditures in view of the doubtful posi- tion of the economy." "All areas' must be .treated alike." he added, noting that council members would have to consider all areas and not just those where they may have any specific interest. Boyle said he hoped that Exeter's commercial and residential growth woiild level off after an abo4e- average growth in the past few years. "We're at the point where it is difficult to keep up with services," he said, quickly adding that, he hoped any growth that does occur would be more industrial, which would give the town a sounder tax base. Boyle, who will lead the new council into office in December, said he alarmed to spend a period oj'iime at the town office each day to enable ratepayers to visit and 'air their complaints or suggestions. i hope it may nave some of the phone calls at home," he laughingly stated. ' Be objective Boyle said he found it dif- ficult to know why certain groups strongly opposed his bid for the mayor's chair. 'It's council . members who make the detteions, not the Payor," he said, adding that he saw his job as one where he could express his opinions and desires. but more importantly to help in guiding council along sound. economic lines in their deliberations. ' "They put too much worth on the mayor's position." he suggested. noting his main aim was to be objective and see both sides. After outlining his lengthy political life. he said he felt he had, contributed to the town "quite often made decisions that, helped the town". "I've always tried to dedicate myself to the betterment of Exeter in more ways than politics." he concluded.
