Economy, interest

SEAFORTH - High interest
rates and an uncertain
economy are cited as the
main reasons for a decline of
more than $115,000 in
building permits issued in
Seaforth.
From January to April
1980 permits totalling
$165,000 were issued but this
year the figure dropped to
$49,000.
"I certainly believe th7
reasons are people are e -
tremely cautious, and
careful with the high interest
rates," Harry Verburg,
manager of the Toronto -
Dominion Bank in Seaforth
explained.
Seaforth town clerk James
Crocker also speculated high
interest rates as the main
culprit in the decline of
building permits issued, but
noted that the difference
could be made up later in the

By Wilma Oke
McKillop Towxiship coun-
cil has had second thoughts
and has decided to reverse a
previous decision not to give
a donation to the Seaforth
and District Pre-school
Learning Centre following
adverse publicity in the
newspapers.
At Monday's session, coun-
cil agreed to' donate $100 to
help with the cost of the pur-
chase of a portable school
which has been located on
the grounds of Seaforth
Public School to be readied
for use at the beginning of
September. It was necessary
for the Nursery Board to buy
the portable as it has to
vacate this summer to the
basement of the Seaforth
Library which wanted the
basement for its own use.
During the period since the
nursery school was started
several years ago a large
number of preschool
children from McKillop
Township have attended the
school.
Council agreed to donate
$100 to the Town and Country
Homemakers, a private non-
profit charitable organiza-
tion founded in 1978. This
group has its head office in
Wingham where it rented a
house for its office. The
agency is in the process of
buying the house at a cost of
$38,000 as the owner wishes
to sell it, and is making a
fund raising appeal to
-various councils and
organizations.
A donation of $100 was ap-
proved, in reply to a request
for money to help pay the
costs of replacing the hall
owned by Canadian
Foresters of Kinburn which
was destroyed by fire early
this year.
In other business in the
five-hour session Monday,
council considered a recom-
mendation to its proposed
bylaw on manure pits. The
recommendation was
presented in a letter from
the McKillop Federation of
Agriculture proposing that
council should not require a
cover above ground pits and
that the storage size of the
pit be for a storage period of
nine months as §ix months is
not long enough and can.
cause problems,.
President Ken Scott wrote
that a survey of the directors
of the Federation indicated
that 80 .per cent of them felt'
that roofs on above -ground
pits were 'unnecessary ° but
felt the need for them on in -
ground pits.
Mr. Scott said "the
ministry of agriculture in-
dicates strongly there is not
a need of roofs on pits and
that their requirements
would place an added finan-

cial burden on the farmer.
He said this is especially
true today with high interest
rates.
Mr. Scott wrote that it has
not been proven that roofs
will stop the odor from
escaping from the pits and it
will definitely not stop the
problem of pits overflowing.
He said a person will not let
an overflow go back in his
barn if the pit is about to
overflow, but will disconnect
the pipe and let it go on the
ground.
Also he said some farmers
indicated that when there is
an odor from the pit it is
when manure is being
pumped into it and breaking
the crust on top, which could
be helped by bottom filling of
the tank.
Council took no action
Monday but will wait for a
report from its building in-
spector and then discuss the
problem further before pass
inti a bylaw setting out the
regulations required.
Wayne Dolmage, road
superintendent, discussed
with council the road
rebuilding of Concession 10
between Lots 5 and 15.
Passed for payment were
road accounts totalling
$67,401.15 and general ac-
counts of $275,625.59 which
included the half -yearly
levies to the County of Huron
and the two boards of educa-
tion.

EXETER - The opening of
Exeter's police station was
more than just a official
celebration, it was also a
time for serials thoughts and
challenges. '
Mayor Bruce Shaw said it
was time to tell the law
makers and enforcers that a
change was needed 'to
combat the criminal acts
confronting society.
He made reference to the
"disgusting" assassination
attempt on Pope John Paul
II, noting that it was enough
to make people cringe and
throw up their arms and ask
what the world is coming to.
Mayor Shaw also men-
tioned that events in Ireland
and throughout the world
gave evidence to the number
of sick and disturbed in-
dividuals in society, but
added that people in this
area are not isolated as they
see child abuse, wife beating
and other criminal acts
inflicted by one individual
against another.
"It's time for per-
missiveness to end," Mayor
Shaw stated to reference to
lenient court sentences.

Ontario's history," the
minister told the Ontario
Chamber of Commerce's
annual meeting.
The province hopes that
the industrial park will

production of alternative
transportation fuels, such as
hydrogen, ethanol and
methanol, as well as more
conventional industries, he
said.

Council endorsed a resolu-

Wingham asking that in the
absence of the 'reeve who

representation may be made

cil.
An application for a tile

Maloney of Dublin to attend
the meeting in reply to his
request for a meeting to
discuss lighting in Dublin.
Council accepted a request
for repairs to the Rapien
municipal drain and a peti-
tion for construction of a tile
branch to the Regele
municipal drain between lots
1 and 2 on concession 11 and
lots 1 to 4 on concession 10.
