Bell Canada announced Friday that two-way Extended Area Service (EAS), toll-free calling, between Exeter and London has been ap- rproved'by the tRTC. The service will .be implemented on June 5, 1993. With the added number of local calls customers will be able to make, monthly rates for telephone service for Exeter customers will increase when EAS is implement- ed. Residendal customersx01'11*y as additional $2.50 per month for an individual line: business custom- ers will pay an additional $15.95 per month based on an individual line. Exeter qualifies for Extended Area Service to London under cri- teria established by the CTRC. These criteria require that the ex- changes to be linked are no more than 40 miles apart, at least 60 per- cent of the customers in the ex- change call the other exchange at illtst once a!meth Sg'any two months in a twelve 011tetth period, and a majority (50 percent + one vote) of customers approve of the extension and rate increase through a mail out survey. Said John Stuart of Bell, "We re- alized there was a definite demand for the service due to the Exeter area survey." Additional switching facilities are being installed to provide two-way EAS between Exeter and London. 41, Train station Bylaws may have to be adjusted By Fred Groves T -A staff GRAND BEND - While Dr. Anne "Wilson awaits a moving date for.:the Exeter Railway Sta- tion, Grand Bend Council is busy. examining existing development. agreement bylaws.

However, in a ietteraddreased:tacoun- cil, Wilson pointed out a few issues which =may°re- quire the grillage to change some:ofits bylaws. "She is asking about poured in concrete curbs, we stave a bylaw requiring them," .said Grand Bend M- Tministrator Paul Turnbull.

"I can see smaller parking lots being exempted; its a strong mquirement, .said Howard. Although occupation :into 'the -.station in Grand Bend will :not be:until 1994, Wilson is looking at moving. the building as moans possible. "Were working 'on She site 'plan .agreement,ahe's waiting for:the weather:and waiting .to hear ititbe roads arc okay," explained Turnbull.

"Even though this -is a build- ing being moved in, il's the -same as if it was a new build - Deputy -mayor Cam Ivey chairing Monday night's•cotmcil 'meeting for the absent Tom Lawson saidThere,were :other concerns which have to be addressed. One of those being the bylaw which * equires a _loading zone. Normally an optometrist office does not need a loading zone but such a 1arge-buildingas due railway station does. Council hinted the actual use of the building could change which would require a loading:zone. '.'It starts as an office like that but it could change in 103ar 20 years, it is zoned commercial,' said Ivey. Another issue -brought forth -was she foundation.
