Another ides to aahbliah a depot in the village to collect spring cleanup items for disposal is being considered. Works superintendent Doug Johnston reported that the blue box- es now in use in the village are de- teriorating and falling apart. After a check with other area communities it was found Lucan was the only municipality with the problem. The boxes have been in use for less than a year. A truer is being sent to the manu- facturer to have the problem cor- rected. A number of village residents signed a petition voicing their con- cerns over the proposed redevelop- ment of Duchess street. While we have no objections 10 the water and sewer services, we the undersigned ratepayers, strong- ly object to the concept of bridging the drain with other than a pedestri- an passage and opening Duchess street to through traffic. Those signing the petition will be notified by a letter from the village office that the surveys carried out so far are only preliminary and that a public meeting will be held be- fore any work is carried -out. Discussion on a request from village artist Jan Brouwer was de- ferred to tate next meeting because of the lateness of the hour. Brouwer is asking council to take care of capital and operating costs of a panoramic painting display Deer hunter charged EXETER - Carrying a loaded firearm in a ve- hicle resulted in a- fine for an Exeter man -in Ex- eter's Justice of the Peace Court last Tuesday.
