( Photo by Shawn McKague) Town council shorts Council has agreed to call tenders for a new police cruiser to replace the Dodge Monaco purchased in 1977. Coun. Allan Harrison, new chairman of the police committee, reported the Dodge now has 53,000 miles on it and, according to council;'s policy of replacing each cruiser every other year, is due for replacement in 1979. He also told council that although former police com- mittee chairman David Cameron recommended replacing the car with a compact model, Chief Robert Wittig is "dead against this". He said the chief favors getting the heaviest car available, feeling it would be safer and more reliable, and also wants options such as an eight cylinder engine, four -barrel carburetor, dual exhausts, heavy duty suspension, etc. Council agreed to replace the Monaco with another big car. 0-0-0 The question of splitting the town accounts between the two banks in town came up again at this meeting, with Mayor William Walden declaring he thinks the Toronto -Dominion Bank should be given some of the business. All the town accounts are currently at the Canadian ' Imperial Bank of Commerce.' The question first arose last year when •T -D Manager Nick O'Donohue asked council to let. his bank make a proposal for the accounts. Proposals were sub- sequently received from both banks but no further action was taken. Finance committee chairman Tom Deyell said it doesn't matter to him which bank is used, but he recommended council call for new proposals from both banks and look at them again. It was decided the finance committed should look at the new proposals and then bring a recom- mendation to council. One councillor wanted to know what will happen when the new trust company comes to town and also wants a share of the action, but the question went unan- swered. 0-0-0 'An increase of 50 per cent in the dump rental charge for the past year sparked a sharp debate over just what sort of agreement the town has with Joe Kerr Ltd. for use of the dump site in East Wawanosh Township. ' Reeve Kerr said there has never been any written agreement between his comapny and the town and explained the rise in the rental charge—to $1,500 this year from $1,000 in past years—as due to the extra fill required to cover the dump in accordance with the . new requirements demanded by the environment ministry. He also said he'd just as soon not have the dump on his property and, while he won't kick the town out, -it wouldn't hurt his feelings if : it decided to move elsewhere. Mayor William Walden declared it was wrong of Mr. Kerr to change the dump rental charge "in midstream" and without approaching council. That's not good business prac- tice, he said, adding that there should have been an agreement signed. Council eventually agreed to YBC Bowling Scores BANTAMS Brian's Pineapples are in first place this week, with Steve's Squashes and Murray's Nec- tarines tied in second with 30 points each.

The courtroom in the town hall will be getting a facelift in the near future. Coun. Jack Bateson, chairman of council's property committee, said he has a con- tractor looking at refinishing the courtroom with new panelling, carpet and perhaps new doors. The cost of the project won't be peanuts, he warned council, estimating the repairs will cost at least $15,000, plus any new fur- niture. It was left up to the committee to decide what is needed and arrange to have it done. Earlier this year council received a letter from the new provincial court judge containing a list of repairs to the courtroom the judge feels are necessary. 0-0-0 The new day care centre is just about splitting at the seams, Coun. Allan Harrison, last year's council representative on the day care board, reported. He said there is "an unbelievable number of kids" in the centre right now, noting that if the second centre in the old post office building was closed it would probably be neeessary to drop the nursery program. Coun. Gord Baxter, council's new appointee to the day care board, said some concern has been expressed regarding shrubbery at the new centre that might be poisonous. Mr. Harrison said the shrubbery in question is yew and added that while the county medical ,officer of health confirms it can be poisonous, he said a child would have to eat the whole. tree. for it to be dangerous. 1fhroo fares There., were three fires in the •seven day period ending at Tuesday noon, Wingham Fire Chief Dave Crothers reported tide week ; Wingham fireMen were called out at I;50 a,m:• Tuesday to the house of , Harold Hutton, just south of Winghgm, where a fire was Started by overheated stove pipes.
