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 Year - 1 Mile West and 1 Mils.

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- CLINTON NEWS -RECORD, THURSDAY, JUNE 4 ,.981---PAtG47 p reverses donation deeisioi.. 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.

Legislation will be in- troduced to enable Ontario Hydro to produce and sell heat energy in the form of steam or hot water.

The steam sold by Hydro "will result in those 2,000 Want stiffer penalties 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. acres being transformed into one of the most innovative and exciting industrial and agricultural developments in Ontario's history," the minister told the Ontario Chamber of Commerce's annual meeting. The province hopes that the industrial park will become the focus for the production of alternative transportation fuels, such as hydrogen, ethanol and methanol, as well as more conventional industries, he said. contributed $318 to the hospital based on $3.00 per patient. Council endorsed a resolu- tion from the Town of Wingham asking that in the absence of the 'reeve who represents a municipality at county council sessions that representation may be made by another member of Coun- cil. An application for a tile drain loan for $20,000 was ap- proved Council will hold a special meeting on 'June 16 at 7:30 p.m. to consider the report on the Dodds municipal drain, and will invite Lou 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.
