Despite objections from the reci- pient, Reeve Bill Mickle was voted an amount of $200 by his fellow council members this week to reimburse him for expenses incurred while entertain- ing prospective industrial clients. After making the suggestion, Mayor Bruce Shaw also asked coun- cil to devise some scheme whereby Mickle can be appropriately remunerated for all the time and ef- fort he expends on behalf of the local industrial development committee. "We can't set a dollar figure on what has been done by Bill," Coun- cillor Gaylan Josephson remarked in endorsing the $200 stipend. Shaw said Mickle has saved the community $10,000 through is unpaid efforts in the past. Council had been deliberating some time over the future role of the com- mittee and Shaw said most members were in favor of increasing the budget significantly, even to the point of employing a person on half-time basis to undertake work now carried on by Mickle. However, he reported, the Reeve had indicated he would be willing to con- tinue his efforts in that regard. During Tuesday night's session, several members gave reports of an economic development conference they had attended. Mickle said that the average spent in communities was $4 to $.50 per capita and this was almost double Ex- eter's present expenditure in at- tempts to attract new industry and businesses. He said'council needed to continue the effort or the town could stagnate and die. Councillor Morley Hall said he came away from the conference with nimr INVESTING IN THE EIGHTIES INTRODUCTORY SEMINAR COVERING: Midland Doherty Limited P.O.

"A large plant in Hensall would benefit Exeter," he said. Councillor Don Winter noted that speakers stressed the importance of public participation and he too sup- ported a move to regional economic development. Permit value takes a jump The value of building permits issued in Exeter took a big jump dur- ing August and could reach near record proportions by the,.end of the year. Permits valued at $491,189 were ap- proved by building inspector Brian Johnston during the past month, bringing this year's current total to $1,621,848. That's almost $300,000 over last year's figure for the correspon- ding period. Included were three new homes valued at $259,000 and five commer- cial renovations and additions at $182,000. There were 14 permits for residential renovations and additions at $36,1$14 and nine tool sheds, sun - decks, carports and garages for $13,975. With tongue in cheek, Mayor Bruce Shaw asked Johnston if he envisions - ed any more buildling in town this year. Responding in kind, Johnston said he thought there was something go- ing in on John St. E. His reference, of course, was to the new nursing home which will push the building figure up another $1.6 to $1.8 million alone. The building inspector also in- dicated that there may be as many as eight new homes planned in Exeter this fall. Fees again stir debate The stipends paid to night course teachers hired by the South Huron rec centre board of management came up for debate again at Exeter coun- cil, Tuesday. The instructors are paid $17 per hour and in one case an instructress gets 50 percent of the registration fee for any number over 10 enrolled in a ballet, tap and jazz dance class. Reeve Bill Mickle wondered if the fees were set by the instructors or the rec board and asked if any com- parison had been undertaken with the fees paid in other communities. Rec board member Gaylan Josephson said the fees were set after a study was done three years ago and he reported that there has been no change in the stipends since then. While adult instructors get $17 per hour, the students hired to conduct gymnastics classes receive only $4.25 per hour. During the debate, Deputy Reeve Lossy Fuller asked that council be supplied with the minutes of the rec board meetings or get reports from their representatives "so .we are aware of what's going on".

Snowmobiles roll already Snowmobile season is well under way at Hull)/ Gully for the 1986 season. The first Grass Drags of the year were held at Bully Gully near Varna, with perfect warm sunny weather spectators and contestants alike enjoyed a fast paced day of all out drag racing for both snowmobiles and ATV's. An added feature of the day's events included a Snowmobile water - skimming challenge across the Hul- ly Gully pond. Seven brave souls took their sleds out onto the pond in an at- tempt to cross safely without getting wet. However, several of the com- petitors went down with their sleds much to the crowds 'cheering a pprova I. In the amateur class Andy Alex- ander from Milton was the winner. in the pro class local favourite John Munn from lfensall finished in second place behind Joe Baratto from Milton. Al Schmidt of Gadshill had an amaz- ing day on the drag circuit he won the Pro Stock, AA Stock, A Stock, Mod Stock 4, 440 Open, and the Open Super Mod. Peter Laing of Exeter won the D Stock class. Team Poland from In- wood also had an outstanding day with son Scot winning the H Stock, mother Betty winning the G Stock and Mod Stock 1 and Dad Ray competing in the watercross. No change from what? Despite some confusion in written reports as to what was asked and what was granted, the parking regulations along Andrew St. beside Exeter United Church will remain unchanged. Church officials had asked that the parking be restricted to two-hour periods, but that was refused by coun- cil on the recommendation of the police and public works committees. llowever, the public works written report said they recommend "that the two-hour parking not be changed and remain the sante". The police committee "recom- mends that the two-hour parking re- main at the present time, since the church does rent nut their parking lot during the day, which therefore in- creases the need for parking on the street". Confused'' Better keep an eye on the signs if you plan to park on the east side of Andrew at the church' However, it appears that all -day parking is permitted. r WalOrlang30 ACCOUNTANT•PUBLIC Nrri�� omuth Chartered Accountants P.O.
