Through the other Weeklies
The press in Exeter was
denied access to Council
meeting last week when
members approved a motion
by Reeve Si Simmons that it
meet in' committee -of -the -
whole. While Simmons' ac-
tions were directed mainly to
the press, the motion ef-
fectively eliminated the right
• of any citizen to attend the
session.
The decision carne as no
surprise to the Exeter Times -
Advocate. Simmons had
previously suggested that he
would bar the press from a
meeting he was to chair in the
absence of Mayor Shaw if the
editor failed to provide an
apology for having revealed
that council met in secret
O session to make their decision
on moving the police out of
the town hall.
When he was advised that
he couldn't bar the press from
a public meeting of council,
he said he would have the
editor, Bill Batten escorted
from the meeting by the
police if necessary.
That situation failed to
materialize as the T -A editor
was on holiday for the
meeting which was chaired
by Simmons. The Reeve did
ask reporter Ross Haugh
prior to the meeting if he had
an apology, and the latter
said he did not. When Sim-
mons said he may ask him to
leave the meeting, Councillor
Bar, b Bell overheard the
discussion and suggested
If council not get involved in
that type of situation.
However, with the editor
back on the job this week,
Simmons quickly moved to
have him removed from the
meeting and council sup-
ported the action.
Planning will get underway
for the reconstruction of
Josephine Street following
tho • decision by Wingham
Town Council to proceed with
preliminary engineering of
the project, according to the
Wingham Advance -Times..
Council voted last week to
appoint B.M. Ross and
Associates as consulting
engineers for the project
*and authorized them to begin
drawing up plans. Cost of this
0,, service is estimated at ap-
proximately $15,000.
Reeve Joe Kerr and
Councillor Allan Harrison
opposed the motion to go
ahead with planning the
reconstruction. "Where will
the money come from?" Mr.
Harrison asked, noting one
•

sewer project has just been
finished and another is
planned.
Mr. Kerr objected to put-
ting all the money into the
front street, saying a lot of
other streets in town also
need fixing.
A letter from B.M. Ross
estimates the cost of
replacing the street, in-
cluding sidewlks, curb ,and
gutters and storm sewers, at
$550,000. About $90,000 of the
cost would have to be borne
by 'the town, with the
remaining $460,000 corning
from the province.
Mitchell Mayor Harold
Jordan cast a tie breaking
vote at last week's Council
meeting giving local
developer William Myers the
green light on a rezoning
application which will allow
the addition of several units
to an apartment complex on
Coulton Drive, according to
the Mitchell Advocate,
A delegation of ratepayers,
who reside in the vicinity of
the proposed development,
raised strong objections in a
formal brief read by their
spokesman John Taylor.
Claiming the erection of
"additional barn sized
buildings in such a restricted
space could Only do harm to
the real estate value of neigh-
bouring private homes," Mr.
Taylor urged Council to
reject the application and
abide by the present zoning
designation of the property
for single family dwellings.
The administrator of
Listowel Memorial Hospital,
Leonard Hall, was distressed
by the pathetic example of
interest shown at the district
health council steering
committee meeting on March
30, according to a report in
the Listowel Banner.
The steering committee is
holding a series of meetings
to get the view of ordinary
citizens on the proposed
formation of a District Health
Council in the combined area
of Huron Perth counties.
Approximately 25 people
attended the meeting held at
Listowel Central Public
School; most of them were in
public office.
Two choices are offered to
the people, they can either
join Middlesex County or any
other county that already has
a District Health Council and
be "swallowed up", because
Perth has less population, or
form an alliance between
Huron and Perth Counties to

The St. Marys Journal -

disagreement on the value of
District Health Councils was
debated by 25 residents who
attended another public
meeting on the subject in
Kirkton last Thursday
Proponents of health council
including the Ontario
Ministry of Health say that it
would make local health care
more efficient and responsive
to needs of the public.
Opponent$ state the very
opposite, claiming that
