Monday night, council approved spending $720 to outfit Mr. Cretier with uniform and access- ories. He will receive the present hourly rate of lour dollars to fill in on evening and weekends. The proposal first came before council at its August meeting, at which time it deferred action until it could find out how much outfitting another officer would cost. At that time Councillor David Cameron, chairman of the police committee, told council Police Chief Robert Wittig feels he can cut 'overtime costs by using the auxiliary officer in place of a regular officer for some duties. He could be used for special events, such as the plowing match; accompany a regular officer on patrol or watch over prisoners in the cells, Mr. Cameron said, reporting that, in the wake of fires and deaths in other jails, regulations prohibit leaving prisoners alone in a jail. Some questions were raised about the growing size of Wing - ham's police force. "Once we only had two police," Councillor eek netncnn c,i`l "Thr n we added a third because we. needed half a man to cut overtime. It just kept, going and how , many policemen do you have now?" Councillor Allan Harrison in- quired about the two auxiliary officers already employed by the department, but was told they're not interested in working all the time." Mr. Cretier knows first aid and is well qualified for the position,.Mr. Cameron added. The •addition of Mr. Cretier brings the size of the police department to . five regular officers, including the chief, and three auxiliary officers: Council also approved the purchase of. a new radar "gun" for the town police, after deciding last month to postpone buying it. at least until next year. At that time council .decided it hadn't provided for the $3,000 purchase in this year's budget. Council, now heard the comp- any selling the unit is willing to accept $150 per month for the rest of this year, with. the balance payable at the first of next year. The town would also have to pay bank interest rates on the unpaid balance for the four months. It was decided to purchase the gun, leaving it up to the finance committee to arrange payment. Councillorshad also inquired at the last meeting why more effective use wasn't being made of the existing radar unit. Mr. Cameron 'reported back that the unit needs $95 worth of repairs but, even if fixed, could not be expected to last much longer. He said there are cheaper speed guns on the market, but recommended council buy a good one as it can be used from a moving car on traffic moving in either direction. • Council deferred action on a request from Chief Wittig for a bylaw to regulate closing Flours of food service Outlets. Mr. Cam- eron told council the ehiieE treCOm- mends closing hours; amide with the LLBO regulators setting a 1 a-.01- closing fol' 'Weis and other liquor outlets. .He is concerned the intention sof •orae° food service cutlet to . rernaini open' until 3 a.m,. could' 'cause policing problems, Mr. Cameron said. Councillors pointed out =other towns have 24 hour food facilities and questioned whether council should attempt to regulate closing hours. ' Council also agreed, to renew the contract for The- police department answering service at $5,200 for the year. Last yea° l'ie service cost 85,000. 1Couneiliors said the answering service. is doing a good -job. McCormick pit owned by Twp. of Turnberry Turnberry Township Council learned at its Sept. 6 meeting that it' does own the McCormick gravel pit, after discovering last m =di there was w conflict in ownership. Contractor Joe Kerr had, made an agreement with John and Don McCormick in 1971 to use the gravel at seven cents per cubic yard. This was apparently registered in 1974. The agree- ment could be revoked at any time by a registered letter sent to Mr. Kerr by' either brother. In 1975, Turnberry Township bought the pit from Don McCormick. The problem came' to a head when Mr. Kerr used gravel from the pit for township business. Township solicitor Robert Camp- bell. of Goodall and Campbell, .Wingham, advised councils to forget about the gravel used f#om the pit and ask Mr. McCormick to send a • registered letter to Mr.' 'Kerr, revoking the original agreement. Council asked the law firm of Crawford, Mill and Davies, Wingham, for a second opinion and Mr. Mill advised council the agreement between Mr. Kerr and the McCormick brothers was good only for 1971. The price was only negotiated for that year at seven cents per cubic yard. Mr. Mill also told council that the agreement was nulified when 10 cents per yard was paid, for. gravel in the . year after the agreement Council had said at its Aug. 2 meeting that Mr. Campbell should have seen the conflict, as he handled the sale for the touttt- ship as well as the original agree- ment for Mr. Kerr. Council decided to charge Mr. Kerr at the rate of 18 cents per yard for the gravel removed from the pit as pit run gravel in June, 1977. : APPLE BLOSSOMS BELMORE—The members of the Belmore' club held a discus- sion on different kinds of fresh fruits, including unusual kinds such as kiwi, mango and nectarine.
