Despite an objection from
Councillor Ken Ottewell,
Exeter council will make no
formal appeal in a matter to
tte considered by the com-
mittee of adjustment on
December 5 regarding the
sale of a small engine shop
from Hilt Laing to Don
Stephen Printing.
Stephen is requesting a'
severance and minor
variance which would allow
him to establish a printing
shop in the building just
west of the local
fairgrounds.
It is presently a non-
conforming use in a residen-
tial Zone.
Ottewell said he wasn't
sure it would be the right
thing to allow, saying that
technically it was against
the local bylaws to permit
another non -conforming use
in a building which is

"They should look at it
pretty carefully," he added,
noting that its location was

said it was merely a matter

another. Stephen presently

said the $300.bil1 received by_
his.firm "seems very high"
in view of 'the fact the -firm
' does not titilizelhe.faciLity to
the extent suggested by
council.
' 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. •

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." • -
