The department also stated that
every traffic cont rol Signper-

leading up to, the intersection.
Council decided to write the
department and state they would
pay for the larger stop signs on
their own.

A few heated words were air-
ed at Monday's Exeter council
session with the Good Roads
convention again being one of
the topics.
Once again, Reeve Hoyle, and
Councillor Wooden attacked the
value of the convention, with
Wooden extending his attack to
the multitude of Ontario muni-
cipal organizations.
He said it would make an
interesting thesis to determine
what use was made of the thous-
ands of resolutions presented to
the many )municipal organiza-
tions each year.
He said the number of such
organizations was complete non-
sense and suggested that one
group would be much more ef-
fective.
When Mayor Delbridge asked
for the names of those planning
to attend the Good Roads event,
Reeve Boyle suggested that he
and Wooden should go "and break
this thing wide open" by giving
a statement to the press as to
what goes on at the convention.
Both he and Wooden were criti-
cised for making comments about
the convention when in fact neith-
er had attended.
"In all seriousness, what have
you learned at the convention over
the years?" Wooden asked Coun-
cillor Taylor.
Taylor paused for a moment
and then replied: "I don't have
to tell you". He quickly added
he couldn't answer such a ques-
tion on the spur of the moment
and suggested Wooden couldn't
come up with a quick reply to a
similar question.
The debate ended and then all
councillors joined to voice their
disapproval of the department of
highways, who advised by letter
that they could not erect a large
reflectorized stop sign at the
intersection of Highways 4 and
83 as council had requested.
The letter from the depart-
ment pointed out that a survey
of the accidents at the corner
indicated they were not caused
by motorists who failed to stop,
but by those who stopped and then

PUC manager Hugh Davis in-
formed council Monday night that
Ontario Hydro feeder lines corn-
ing into this area would be greatly
improved within a coup 1 e of
years.
This information was provided
members of the local Commis-
sion when they attended the On-
tario Municipal Electric As-
sociation meeting in Tillsonburg
recently.
Davis explained that this area
of Western Ontario had about
90 miles of power lines and one
break caused a power failure
along the entire 90 miles.
He indicated that this system
would be improved and there
should be a resulting drop in
local power failures.
Mayor Jack Delbridge also re-
ported that Ontario Hydro was
increasing service to the area
to meet the demands of the OWRC
pumping station at Lake Huron,
as this facility is already near
the capacity of power available
to it.
During his report to council,
Davis also predicted that the day
would come when Exeter would be
taking its water from the OWRC
station at the end of Highway 83.
Councillor Joe Wooden agreed
with his prediction, but neither
offered an opinion as to when
this might come about.
The PUC Manager was present
at the meeting to discuss plans
concerning the reconstruction of
Main Street.
Council's answers to his ques-
tions were as follows:
— fire hydrants would be lo-
cated on the extreme edge of
the sidewalk in the down town
section to Gidley St. and from
there north would be placed be-
tween the sidewalk and the tra-
velled portion of the road.
— the same pattern would be
followed in the erection of street
lights north of the bridge; i.e.,
concrete polls and six-foot lumi-
nares would be used.
would investigate.
He was also asked by Coun-
cillor Ted Wright to investigate
complaints of persons shooting
rifles and B-B guns in the vicinity
of the CNR tracks in the Welling-
ton St. area.
Wright said it happened almost
every Saturday and Sunday and
noted that the town limits extend-
ed a considerable distance west
of the tracks and therefore was
out of bounds for the discharging
of firearms.
The councillor also noted that
considerable damage was done
last year by persons with rifles.
Chief MacKenzie indicated he
would order a crack-down and
suggested an auxiliary policeman
in civilian clothes should be used
to keep a watch on the situation.
He made this comment after
Mayor Delbridge noted there was
no sense in police driving around
the area with the cruiser as they
would be easily spotted by any
law-breakers. N 4 w

Exeter businessmen are being
more careful about locking their
doorg when they leave these days.
Chief C. H. MacKenzie report-
ed to council, Monday, that during
October there were only two
places of business found insecure.
In a previous report he had stated
that 15 unlocked doors had been
found in one month.
His report also indicated a
decline in accidents in October.
There were three accidents, with
total damage amounting to only
$165.
Other information in the re-
port was as follows: three thefts
under $50, one charge under the
Criminal Code, one under the
Liquor Control Act, two under
the Highway Traffic Act, five
parking tickets issued, 49 com-
plaints investigated, five inves-
tigations for other forces and
two summonses issued for other
forces.
Chief MacKenzie told council
that only six calls were received
from citizens on Halloween night
and there was no major damage
reported, although there were
several incidents of egg-throw-
ing.
Councillor Joe Wooden asked
the Chief what procedure was fol-
lowed to ensure that emergency
calls from citizens were ans-
wered.
He reported he had occasion to
call the police regarding a drunk
driver in the area of the high
school and the police never came
to investigate the complaint un-
til six hours later.
"It seems to me that's too
long," Wooden stated.
Chief MacKenzie said he didn't
know what reason there could
be for such a delay, but said he
