Permits decrease EXETER - The number of building permits issued in June in Exeter, and their value are way down compared to 1990. Last month there were only 32 permits issued with a value of $537,204. In 1990 that dollar figure was more than doubled. "June was the first real slow month we've had compared to last year," said deputy -reeve Lossy Fuller. There was also some concern raised Monday night about the number of vacancies of com- mercial properties on Main Street. "Is no secret when you drive down Main Street we have a considerable vacancy," said councillor Ben Hoogenboom. Hensall appoints new fire chief H,ENSALL - The village of Hen- sall council approved a by-law at Monday evening's meeting, ap- pointing various officers to the Hensel) Firc Department. Fire chief Butch Hoffman an- nounced that he had stepped down as chief on June 30, but has agreed to stay with the department until year end. The move prompted council to return former chief Jim Hyde to the position. In addition, Gary Maxwell has been appointed as deputy chief, while Frank Var- Iey, Ken Bruxer and Greg Camp- bell were selected as the depart- ment's new captains. Council also authorized volun- teer personnel and apparatus of the department to leave the jurisdic- tion, for which they retained, to participate in the Huron County Mutual Fire Aid Plan at the the dis- cretion of the chief. OPP seek awareness of after-hours phone line MOUNT FOREST - The OPP • arc concerned that emergency call- ers to local detachments outside business hours arc facing needless delays in getting police response. Those who call their local de- tachment before or after daily hours have to have their calls re- layed to the Mount Forest OPP Communications Centre before an officer can be dispatched. Conse- quently. the OPP are asking people to become aware of and make use of the OPP toll-free number that offers a direct link to the Mount Forest centre. The number, 1-800-265-2525 op- erates 24 hours a day for residents in Huron, Perth, Grey, Wellington and Waterloo Counties, but during normal hours of 8:30 am to 4:30 pm. you can get quicker results by calling the detachment directly - 235-1300 for the Exeter OPP. A special toll-free line for those using TDD/ fY telephones for the deaf can by reached by calling 1- 800-265-2529. Exeter street renamed EXETER - Upon request of Len Veri, one of the streets in the Veri Subdivision will be renamed. After some discussion Monday night, Exeter council agreed that the name of the street will be changed from Hazelton Drive to Hazelton Lane. "Mr. Veri has a right to request this," said councillor Harry Klun- gel. In other business involving town streets, the main street (Highway 4) will be under construction for about three weeks as it is being repaved. The job, which will cost about $285,000, ten percent being paid by the town, will be done block by block. There will be no parking on either side of the street on the par- ticular block where the work is be- ing done one. A four-way stop will be estab- lished at the corners of Sanders and Pryde. "There is no where for people who live on the south side of Sand- ers to cross," said councillor Dave Urlin. Stephen Township`• ._.• sets ..991 budget CREDITON - Stephen Township ratepayers can expect to be paying a bit more taxes this year after council approved its 1991 budget. The general purpose budget is up to $2.3 million this year, some 3.5 percent higher than last year, but with the levies for Huron County (up 8.3 percent), and the school boards added in, public school sup- porters will be seeing their tax bills up 4.8 percent this year. Separate school supporters will be seeing a slightly higher increase of 5.9 per- cent. However, residents of the police villages of Centralia, Crediton and Dashwood will not be paying the full township mill rates. Centralia residents will be billed at 95 per- cent of the township mill rate, with Crediton and Dashwood at 75 per- cent. Stephen Township, with a popu- lation over 4,000, several villages, and the Huron Industrial Park, boasts the second largest assess- ment in Huron County, behind the town of Goderich. A request by Precious Blood School to have no parking signs put up on the north side of Sanders Street and have a sidewalk built is being considered by the police committee. No date for meeting yet EXETER - Although there is no confirmed date, a public meeting will be held in Exeter td see what activities the local Lions Club would like to propose for McNaughton Park. Since the Ausable Bayfield Con- servation Authority owns the prop- erty they arc concerned about what those activities are. "We're just waiting to see what the (ABCA) board thinks of the proposals," said ABCA communi- cations manager Kathy Monk. She said after the board reviews the proposals, it will then contact the Town of Exeter to hold a pub- lic meeting. Monk said they hope this will be a two-part meeting which would include taking a walking tour of the park. We're Fully Equipped for Any Job Our fleet of trucks.
