Councillor Barb Jefferies said she believes a clothing allowance should be budget- ed because their work does have considerable impact on the wear and tear of their uni- forms. • Fisher and councillor Marg Diechert voted against the pro reeve and councillors will receive a 4.8 percent cost of living increase which is rounded off to the nearest dollar.

ARC dispute Second. dump site needed soon EXETER - The town is planning on getting ready to open up the sec- ond phase of its landfill site in Ha Township. Council learned Mon- day evening that the present phase of the she may have only about a year's rapacity 're Councillor Dorothy Chapman ap- peared concerned that Exeter might bear the costs of opening the sec- ond site only to see it taken over by the county as part of their Waste Management Master Plan. She suggested the action to apply to the Ministry of the Environment to open the second phase might be premature without knowing how the county will act in the future. "Are we how going to be gobbled u the county system somewhere do the road?" asked Chapman. 1 Reeve Bill Mickle argued that the second phase would be necessary long before Huron completes the Waste Management Master Plan, predicting a county -wide landfill site is at least five years away. Nevertheless; he tad council he and deputy, reeve Lossy Fuller have been tackling the issue of landfill costs under the master plan at county council. Mickle noted the third phase of the Master Plan has brought with it a whole host of complicated ques- tions on how costs will be shared among Huron municipalities. Another problem with the Master Plan is its cost. Mayor Bruce Shaw expressed amazement that it will cost 5550,000 for the study alone before a landfill site or alternative is created. "It is a nightmare of cost," agreed Mickle, noting that there is no guar- antee that ministry requirements for wastedispmight change before, the 'Plan , fileted, rendering i t Shaw shook his head iii;: df. -However, Mickle did credit pre- vious town councils with having the foresight to purchase such a large site for landfill purposes all those years ago, while other towns, villages and townships are finding themselves short of dump space. Current estimates place the ca- pacity of the total landfill site at about 10 years, although Chapman and councillor Harry Klungel noted that blue box recycling programs or trends to increased household gar- bage could have some effect on that.
