Motorists driving on Exeter streets will find some changes in regulations beginning to- day. Anne street becomes a one-way street for west -bound traffic while a loading zone has been established on John street east. The one-way rule is in ef- fect on Anne street, only be- tween Main and William streets. The stop signs on the north-west and north-east cor- ners of William will remain as usual.

"The collection was much more successful with the late fee 'in- centive,"' stated Westlake -Power in her report. 'This was one of the reasons for doing it, to avoid going door to door," said Councillor Jeff Re- abum at council's April 15 meet- ing. By the March 15 deadline, 103 tags of an estimated 110 were col- lected. Only five tags were sold af- ter the due date and therefore sub- ject to a late payment of $15. Following this date additional tags were sold to new dog owners and residents. Dog owners were notified by let- ter in January of the new policy that was also advertised on cable television, in local newspapers and at the Post Office. Additional no- tices were sent to those without tags after March 15. The new dog tag rate for one dog, male or female, is $15. For one dog that is a neutered male or spayed female, $10 is required. A second dog costs $20, a third $25, a fourth $30 and a kennel, $ 100. There are 29 newly licensed dogs out of the 112 now licensed. o)i, Eighteen previously licensed dogs and one no longer exists. Seventy - are gone. As well, one area kennel two per cent of the licensed dogs is licensed, one is yet to register, are spayed or neutered. The Exeter, Grand Bend, Stephen, Usborne Amalgamation Committee has been meeting for several months and as the study process unfolds, it is inevitable questions will arise. In order to answer these questions in a public forum, the communication sub -committee will submit a regular response to a "question of the week." Will we still be part of the County? Some members of the public seem to have an impression that one or more of the municipalities within the amalgamation group (Stephen, Usbome, Exeter, and Grand Bend and area) want "to get rid of the County". We want to assure the public - 1) This is not the aim. The over-riding goal is to provide the best local government possible. It is necessary to consult and co-operative with the County in that effort. 2) As we restructure, it may become clear that some services presently provided by the County may be shifted to the local level. By the same token, other services may be best delivered by the County. 3) As more municipalities restructure, Counties will realize that their organizations will also need re -working. EXETER - Council received a package of material from the Huron County Planning Office Monday night which outlined the steps tak- en by Exeter Council in its struggle with the county over the right to grant consents in planning matters. In spite of the presence of a repre- sentative from the Ministry of Mu- nicipal Affairs at a mediation meeting, the county has refused to reinstate Exeter's right to grant consents. Upon questioning, Reeve Bill Mickle, Exeter's representative to County Council, with some emo- tion, affirmed, "Our case is valid. They broke the agreement with the town. Huron County blindly turned the request aside. I'm sick of that level of government being so arro- gant and irresponsible!" Council was advised by the County Clerk -Administrator that ". .. the consent function would be redelegated to Exeter if i) Exeter agrees to participate fully in the County Application Fee Program and ii) all outstanding accounts be paid to the county."
