A total of four, four-plex County council Continued from page 1 A sity of Waterloo, and Roger, Julia and Leona are at home. Cunningham introduced to the packed council chambers the man who got him started in municipal politics. It was his father-in-law, Edward Greigg, the reeve of Goderich township in 1954 and 1955. The newwardenalso noted that it has been 25 years since Hullett had a warden. In 1959, the late Bill Jewitt of Hullett served as warden of Huron County. But Reeve Worsell in- dicated it has been even longer - 45 years - since coun- ty council chose a Goderich reeve as warden. He said he would try again next year for the wardenship. The county councillors voting for Cunningham were: West Wawanosh Township Reeve J.R. Aitchison, Grey Reeve Leona Armstrong, Ashfield Reeve John Austin, Hay Deputy Reeve Tony Bedard, Tuckersmith Reeve Robert Bell, Clinton Reeve Ernest Brown, Seaforth Reeve Bill Campbell, Blyth Reeve Tom Cronin, Mr. Cun- ningham, Morris Reeve Bill Elston, McKillop Reeve Marie Hicknell, Bayfield Reeve Dave Johnston, Col- borne Reeve Russel Ker- nighan, Hensall Reeve H.M.

Developer Jack Taylor told members of the committee and owners of six neighbour- ing properties that he propos- ed the R-2 zoning in addition to the R-1 in order to an- ticipate the future needs of Exeter for multiple dwelling units. He made the comments at a public hearing into the pro- posed amendment at a December 7 meeting. Noting that one four-plex was already located in the area, he said it seemed a logical location for that type of future development. He also stated that if future needs did not require multiple units, single-family houses could be constructed in the same location. Members of the committee, along with secretary Brian Johnston and Huron planner Malcolm Maclntosh, answered a variety of ques- tions from the neighbouring property owners. Johnston explaii.ed that the construction of the multiple dwelling units would have to be compatible with the residential area. Considerable discussion was held regarding the need for a playground area in the subdivision, and in view of the comments from the neighbouring property owners, the committee recommended that land be re- tained by the municipality for parkland purposes within the subdivision. The' municipality has the option of obtaining up to five percent of the Land included in the subdivision plan for park purposes or may accept cash in lieu of all. or a portion of the conveyance. In other business at their meeting, the planning ad- visory committee granted a minor variance in respect to a new dwelling erected on Victoria St. by Glenn and Ernestine Robinson. An error in measurement occurred at the time of construction and members felt the error was so minor that the intent was car- ried out by the applicant. There were no objections to the minor variance being approved. Also recommended for ap- proval was a new sign for Laidlaw Transport. It will replace an existing sign.

Plan house renovations Cemetery board seek bigger grant The Exeter cemetery board members are seeking a 16 percent increase in their grant from council for 1984, most of which would be used for capital expenditures and the estpblishment of a reserve for equipment replacement. The board received 819,000 in grants this year and re- quest 822,000 for the coming year. A capital expense of 82,000 is anticipated for renovations to the superinten- dent's house to provide for a third bedroom by moving a bathroom to the ground floor. Councillor Tom Humphreys explained that the superinten- dent H. Knip is expecting an addition to his family in the near future and noted this week that the proposed work on the renovations is already underway. Council voted to turn the grant request over to the finance committee and Mayor Bruce Shaw advised Humphreys that if the larger grant is turned down, the board will have to juggle some items to pay for the renovations. Also turned over to commit- tee was the matter of pay raises for cemetery person- nel, although the minutes of the board stated that a salary hike and a merit increase for superintendent H. Knip had been "approved" at their December meeting. Councillor Bill Rose stated his objection to the hourly South Huron rates being suggested for laborers at the cemetery, noting it was higher than some paid by the town in other departments and that "could lead to serious pro- blems in negotiations" with other employees. Rose said the hourly rates were "way out of line with the rec centre". " Deputy -Reeve Lossy Fuller wondered aloud if the rent on the superintendent's house had been increased and she was informed it had not. The rent is currently 860 per month, but board secretary Liz Bell explained that part of the house is used as an office for cemetery work. The budget also includes provision for the purchase of some new tools and Hum- , phreys explained that cur- rently employees bring per- sonal tools from home. "It's time to provide tools so the men can work more efficient- ly," he suggested The board plans to put 81,000 into the reserve for equipment replacement. That would be added to in subse- quent years. Total expenditures for 1984 were proposed at $73,520, compared to this year's budget of 869,300. However, the projected expenditures to the end of this year have been set at $72,312 due mainly to higher than anticipated utili- ty costs, supplies and repairs. On the revenue side, the sale of lots has been $1,000 below budget and grave open- ings are a ~3,000 under budget. Investment income is pro- jected to be about $2,000 below budget due to declining in- terest rates. On the recommendation of the board, council passed a bylaw this week for an in- crease of approximately five percent on the tariff of rates for cemetery plots, interment and other charges. Minutes of the board's meeting on December 8 in- dicate approval for a five per- cent increase to salaries for 1984 and a merit increase for H. Knip from his step two to step three level in grade seven when he takes over the position of superintendent on January 1. Step three in grade seven designates a salary of $20,342. Exeter court Continued from page IA the most recent charge. He was given four months in which to pay the fine. A breathalizer test showed a reading of 230 mgs. after Redmond was involved in the accident on Huron Road 21 north of Huron Park. Paying fines of $300 or 15 days for driving with a blood alcohol content over the legal limit were Peter Couvillon, RR 4 Denfield, and Arnold Klages, RR 1 Hensall. Each had his licence suspended for three months. Couvillon was charged on November 18 after his car was spotted being driven in an erratic reeneer on County Road 21. Aeathalizer test gave a reading of 220 mgs. Klages was charged on Oc- tober 10 and a breathalizer test gave a reading of 110 mgs. Each was given 60 days in which to pay the fine. A fine of 8500 or 25 days was assessed against Barry Douglas Willert, RR 3 Zurich, who pleaded guilty to a charge of assault which was laid on July 23. Evidence revealed the ac- cused had been playing cards at his home when a disagree- ment arose between he and another player. Willert struck the other man on both sides of his jaw and the victim was in hospital for six days as a result of the injuries. Willert was also placed on probation for six months and ordered to keep the peace. Rodney J. Dobson was given a suspended sentence and placed on probation for six months after he pleaded guilty to wilful damage aris- ing out of an incident on August 20 when a window in a door at a local store was kicked in. Dobson was ordered to make restitution for the 835 damage caused.

The official opening for the building is scheduled for May. Council received a strongly critical letter from the Ausable-Bayfield Conserva- tion Authority commenting that the Authority had not been consulted about changes in the slope of the bank of the Walker Drain beside the new building. The Authority felt that changes made by cutting into the bank of the drain would cause added draining problems for the area around the building. The letter further stated that, since others in the com- munity had complied with the Authority's regulations, the village was setting a bad example. A letter from the ministry of tourism and recreation stated that the grant for Grand Bend in 1984 will be $6,000. The money may be us- ed for recreation staff and equipment. A by-law was passed to allow the land owned behind Green Acres by the Brand Bend Cruising Club to be rezoned from open space 1.1 to o s 1.3 to allow the proper- ty to be legally used for a boating club. Council passed a resolution to correct a drainage problem caused in the construction of the new harbour building. A storm drain was damaged, causing water build-up at the Manore Marine property. It was decided to instal a catch basin between the two properties. Deputy -Reeve Harold Green commented that there had been failures reported in five of the 14 sewer pumps which had been installed in the village and recommended that letters be sent to the manufacturer and to the Ministry of the Environment asking for compensation for damage caused by the faulty pumps. Green announced that he had been appointed by the county to be a member of the health unit. He invited con- cerned persons in the com- munity to pass along ques- tions and comments for him to present at meetings. Reeve Bob Sharen said that a committee was being form- ed in London which would in- clude'a bologist from the m of e to consider all sources of pollution in watershed and lake areas in the region. The village agreed to assist Bosanquet Township in dye testing to find sources of pollution. There was a motion to pay a share of cost for public in- formation mapping being prepared by the A -B Authority in connection with a flood-iplain deliniation study. ttuits.►sgaw..a.►w.►wstlo• Something to Remember Over the Holiday Season 3 3 1 1 Y1 • rte blanket of white lies the farmer's labors of the harvest season just past and the growing season soon to come.
