"Pm very pleased to see sq many have come forth to let their names stand.": he- • said. _He_atso_-noted that im- proved parking in Exeter was off to a good start. The SHDHS teacher. who has -now -retired- twice from council. noted that a deci- sion still had to be made on a grant for the restoration of 'the town hall in that the On- tario Heritage Foundation would provide $17.000 more if it was matched by the 'town. - - ---He-said-he-had feelings -- both ways on the -project, and suggested thaj perhaps the matter should have been placed on the ballot so the people of the community 'could -make the decision: He concluded by saying that his only disappointment while -serving on council was the fact he had never been able to attend the Good Roads convention. _ • PUC commissioners give annual report Exeter's expanded water supply system capably filled .the ,community's needs in the past summer's drought. PUC chairman Murray Greene reported to the - ratepayers at Wednesday night's meeting at the rec -centre. • • He said the.drought was probably the worst in the town's history, but the new wells in Usborne and the exisiting supplies met the needs. Noting that local, citizens -pay about 25• cents per day for water, Greene said there probably wasn't any greater value available. He said_.. the new wells would meet the supply of the town until the year 2000 if the growth rate remains at its present levels. He remarked about the ex- cellent cooperation between the council and the PUC, suggesting it means a lot to the community to have two groups working so closely together. .. _ Greene. who had to leave the meeting early to attend -a convention in Windsor. told the small gathering that the PUC .is facing "con- siderable expense" in changing over to the metric system "although it is of no value -to the customers". - Vice-chairman Chan Livingstone, reporting on the hydro department. said the town's $3 million con: struction boom over the past two years has placed a burden on the PUC. Money has to be laid out now to provide services. but the revenue often .takes as long as 10 years to regain the investment. - 'Man erample.-he said the construction of a local apartment building was costing the PUC about 811.- 060 this year. He said the local PUC had little control over rates.- this being set by Ontario Hydro. and he added that costs of materials are escalating at a high rate. He reported that a 40 -foot wooden pole cost 363 about 10 years ago, while today the cost is $230. He compared Exeter's hydro rate with several other area communities, in- dicating that the 2.67 cents per kilowatt hour was higher than Goderich's 2.54 but lower than all others, which ranged from 3.1 in Grand Bend to the 2.79 and 2.78 paid in Stratford and London respectively.• "I believe our system is as good as -any in the district," Livingstone commented, paying tribute to the staff -and-management. -.--.. --_ . _ In concluding, he whim- sically stated that the PUC office was being renovated "so everyone will be happy when they come in to pay their bills". Both Greene and Livingstone were returned to their posts by acclama- tion.
