The Exeter Times-Advocate, 1968-02-08, Page 3and the equipment is serviced by local garages. Mayor Delbridge said those complaining were not business- men and on that basis their thoughts should be given even greater consideration as they had nothing at stake. He presented estimates on a garbage packer and truck that ranged from $11,200 for slightly used equipment to almost$15,000 for new equipment. Wooden said this would be "over-buying" in that it was bigger than the town required. He said buying such equipment would be considerably more ex- pensive than contracting the work out. "The upkeep and gas will be three times as much for a packer as they are for an ordinary truck," Councillor George Vriese added. It was decided to go ahead with the tender call and to carry on investigation regarding other possibilities.

Approval has been given to tender for garbage pickup, but Mayor Delbridge indicated he had received complaints from some citizens over the fact the money spent on garbage pickup was all going out of town. At present, of course, local men receive wages the minutes indicated Taylor had in fact seconded the motion to prepare the bylaw. Taylor refuted this. Clerk Eric Carscadden read the bylaw and it did not carry on the third reading. Councillor Ted Wright said such a bylaw was discriminatory.

The March committee will be GB consider new bylaws Len Morris, a representative of the London office of the de- partment of municipal affairs, met with Grand Bend council in special session this week to re- view bylaws at the resort. The bylaws were placed in two categories, those which are still active and those which are in- active through having been re- pealed or were applicable only to the current year in which they were passed. Mr. Morris' suggested council have two bylaw books to separ- ate the two categories for easier referral, and he was authorized to order another bylaw book to permit this. He also recommended that council consider the passing of eight new bylaws as follows: Short term borrowing bylaw, reserve fund bylaw, new tax pen- alty bylaw, bylaw to regulate the erection of signs, tax arrears by- law, an up to date building bylaw, licensing bylaw and trailer court bylaw. The draft of some of these were left with council and Morris said he would forward drafts for the others at an early date. It is the intention of council to consider the eight new bylaws mentioned. At their regular meeting, Mon- day, council: Authorized their solicitor to proceed and have a portion of the right-of-way presently vested in the Bank of Montreal deeded to the village. This will allow a street allowance to the north of the new bank office on Highway 21. Approved $10 membership fee to the Ontario Mayors and Reev- es Association.

Nabs suspect — Continued from front page Det.-Sgt. Berries said Smith will be brought back to stand trial in Goderich. A search for the suspect had been conducted in Ontario and the U.S. since a lone masked bandit, brandishing a sawed off shotgun, escaped with $9,144 cash in a daring mid-morning robbery. • Witnesses said the robber, wearing a white stocking toque with two eye-holes cut in it, was in the bank three minutes at the most. He spoke little but re- minded two staff members and two customers the shotgun was loaded. He herded the !Out persons into a janitor's room at the rear of the bank before fleeing with the cash. Several residents of the village of 200 said they saw the robber run from the building carrying the shotgun, jump into a late model yellow and brown car and speed off. Police later identified t he weapon as a single-shot shot- gun. Det.-Sgt. Berries said last night it is believed the robber drove the getaway car from the bank to a Kitchener scrap-yard, where it was sold. Det.-Sgt. 'terries said $2,400 of the bank loot was recovered in Wingham, but he would not elab- orate. After meeting for over five hours, Monday, Exeter council endorsed a suggestion by Coun- cillor Joe Wooden that in the future council not commence any new business after 11;30 p.m. and not extend any meetings past midnight. It was after 12:30 when he made the suggestion and Mayor Jack Delbridge jokingly pointed out it was too late to accept any, new business. However, the motion was pre- sented and carried as members left the council chambers. Wooden had made the sug- gestion at another recent meet- ing that extended into the morn- ing hours, but no decision was reached at that time. Reaches 90 • • gives recipe Early to bed and early to rise along with hard work in his younger days is a recipe for long life according to Henry Miller of Mount Carmel who celebrates his 90th birthday, Saturday. Now living in McGillivray Township, just west of Mount Carmel, Mr. Miller was born in Hay Township and spent some of his life in Stephen. Since moving to the small community in 1930, the now oldest resident dug graves for Our Lady of Mount Carmel Cemetery until 1952. In the early days he received $3 per grave for his labours. Another chore he handled quite faithfully was driving the horse and buggy for the various priests in the parish, especially the late Father Tierney and Father Cor- coran now residing in Stratford. Mr. Miller who still enjoys very good health and excellent eyesight lives with his only daughter, Elizabeth. His wife, the former Susan Querin whom he married in 1910, passed away in 1955. Council members had a bit of indication of what happens near the end of lengthy meetings. A bylaw was prese'nted which called for all property owners being responsible for cleaning snow and ice from their side- walks along Main St. from Hur- on to Gidley Streets. Most members wanted to know why the bylaw had even been prepared, and it was pointed out it had been approved at the last meeting. "we did it while we were walking out the door," Coun- cillor Jim Newby recalled. "I doubt that the resolution passed," commented R eeve Boyle and Councillor Wooden then pointed out council had passed the minutes in which the motion was contained. Councillor Ross Taylor also doubted the matter had been ap- proved, and Wooden pointed out = — = = = la = ••••• vss CA (J. Bell 704) 3 48 ONE(G. Campbell 648) 1 32 C4th(J. Scott 819) 2 48 RI (B.
