' McLeod explained that the firm deals with' a disposal ,cofnparfy to remove every day ,garbage on • a regular monthly lease and a private contractor has a contract- to pickup extraordinery refuse such as old sign boxes or steel pipe: "Only on occasion do we . use,the land fill site and I would Qertainly. think that this town service is in fact included in our fax struc- ture," ore commented. McLeod noted. • that the firm -was billed only 575 for use of the dump in the past two years and suggested this was a fair subsidy.. Lorne Keller of Exeter Roofing, said. his. firm would be willing to pay the $500. extra charge levied against them, but only if they were provided with -a key to, use the site at their convenience.' "Our men are seldom in .town during dump hours,+' he said. "I'd never vote to have keys floating around like we tisfd to, have," Councillor Ted Wright commented in reference to the request for a key to the dump. Patterson agreed that it would not be a• -good idea to issue keys to local firms. Works superintendent Glenn Kells suggested that a card system .should be im- plemented next tyear, whereby each firm has its use recorded and the billing can then -be done on a more factual basis. It was finally decided to have Patterson investigate 'the situation farther with the two firms and to come back to council with a recom- mendation. "Try and solve these problems next year," retiring Mayor Bruce Shaw chided. i "I doubt they'll ever be solved," Patterson replied. "They keep going on and on." Bill equitable Continued from front page Mavor Bruce Shaw said the board members were shocked at the size of the' bill. but noted thev jlrobably would have paid witlout question if it had been sent out on a monthly basis rather than as a lump sum at the end of the veer Ho said he had advised the board to pay the hill and seek an alternative way to have the grass rut in the future ('ouncillor Derry Boyle said it was little more than a bookkeeping entry. noting that if the board paid the hill they would just ask council for an additional grant to meet it It was finally decided to have Clerk Liz Bell and Kells prepare a letter to be sent to the board to defend the cost killed in another matter. the hoard noted that the plaque erected in the foyer con- taining the names of, the committee ih charge of the- rec• centre project was sup- posed to have been paid for by Cambrian -Facilities and they suggested they should be baled. Clerk Bell said that the fund raising committee had apparently paid for the pla- que and it was agreed to hill Cambrian. • Boyle noted that Cam- brian had agreed to pay for the plaque- and a case of champagne". The latter has not yet been received either. '- Cost of 'the plaque wa's about 8900: which Shaw exp plained was about double that which. Cambripn had es-. timated. • WIN IN GREY CUP((P�001. - The first prize of $500 in the Exeter lions club Grey Cup pool was won by seven stuff member s of G.H. Word and PortKers.

T -A photo Times -Advocate, November 30, 1971 2,0 3 Constable will get salary for course Exeter Police •Constable Kevin. Short, sOho recently • completed a special training session dealing with frauds,. will receive full salary for his three-week session, despite the fact there is no provision in the agreement between the town and the Exeter Police Association for such remuneration. Clerk Liz Bell asked council what they wanted to do regarding 'Shortly salary during his attendance at the course,. noting th t only attendance at re4uiting courseswas covered under the agreement. Couhcillor Derry Boyle was critical of the fact tit Chief Ted Day had not asked permission from the police committee to send Short to the course. Boyle said the proper procedure had not been followed, but said that the constable should not.by penalized because of the slip- ' up in the chain of command. Police committee chair- man Ken Ottewell agreed that an error had been m#¢e in that no formal request had been made to the committee by Chief Day. Boyle 'presented the motion that Short be given his salary as usual for the time spent at the course and this was approved by coun4l. Ccillor Ted Wright said Chief Day should be advised .that proper procedure had not been followed in the matter. "That will be looked after, I assure you," Boyle com- mented. In his final report as police committee chairman, .Ottewell said that the committee had a good working relationship with the local force and there had been no hassles. "The department is keeping up to date," he added, in reference to the personnel. "The force Is as good as you'll find in a small town." • - r LIMITED TIME OFFER OUR ENTIRE COLLECTION OF Who ever thought you_would find a sale like this before Christ- mas.
