CONSIDER NEW FIRE TRUCK After receiving estimates on the costs of purchasing a new fire truck, council decided to call a meeting with the townships of Stephen, Bosanquet and Hay regarding these municipalities assisting in the proposed purchase. At present Stephen and Bosanquet are paying annual fees of $500 to retain the services of the Grand Bend Fire Department and Hay township pays $300 each year.

Stephen council last week and were advised by the engineer that the engineering and study would cost between $800 and $900, with this to be split between the two municipalities. Estimated cost of the drain is $30,000 and this somewhat dampened council's enthusiasm for the project. While the cost would again be split, it was predicted Exeter's share could be as high as two-thirds. It was noted that only one or two people were complaining about water problems in the area. Stephen had asked that Exeter not proceed with any portion of the project unless it was all to be completed this year and council decided to hold the matter over until the fall. Gravel tenders were opened at the meeting and the 1969 contract was awarded to Gerald Reid. He submitted a price of $1.65 per cubic yard of "A" gravel, $1.10 for "B" and 95 cents for sand fill.

Only 80 residents of the Parkhill area attended the "spring information meeting" of the Ausable River Conservation Authority held at Parkhill, Wednesday night. The meeting was called to inform area folks of the long-range plans for the 2,100 acre summer and winter recreation and conservation area to be built around the nearly completed Parkhill Dam. The Authority has budgeted $40,000 this year for a start on the playground area at the north end of Parkhill. Approval has been received in principle for the four-phase project which will take 20 years to complete. The development will include extensive nature trails, farm and crop demonstration areas, boating and fishing facilities, swimming beaches, a geological study area and camping and picnic grounds. The recreation and conservation area will surround the backed-up river and artificial lake which will be formed when the $2,000,000 dam is completed. The twin-dam structure is expected to be completed in June and officially opened in September. A member of the consulting engineers' firm of M. M. Dillon Ltd., London, Kenneth Clawson said the prime purpose of the dam is downstream flood control but in the course of providing flood controls, a recreational reservoir of 15 to 18 feet of water will be created. Three couples are graduated Exeter Promenaders' graduation dance was held Wednesday night at SHDHS. Three couples, under the leadership of Norm and Marg Whiting, completed the course and received their diplomas. Lack of numbers in the group was made up for by their enthusiasm.

The new square dancers are Carl and Jean Mills, Flo and Jack Underwood, and Ross and Donna Clarke. They were welcomed into the club by the executive and members. No problem meeting rules One local resident doesn't have to worry about council demanding a building moved because it does not adhere to the proper setbacks under the zoning bylaw. Exeter councillors were disturbed Monday when they learned that one of the buildings for which a permit was sought was already constructed. However, Works superintendent Jim Paisley advised that the shed had been built on skids and could be moved anywhere.

Rowcliffe, to remodel interior of house at 146 Andrew St. N.; Carl Fletcher, to erect a frame shed at 61 Main St. N.; Miss Lauretta Siegner, to build a garage at 121 Andrew St.; Harry VanB ergen, to renovate verandah at 162 Andrew St.; Larry Taylor, to build a carport at 115 Victoria St. E.; R.

Strang that drain bylaws are ready to be mailed to all assessed ratepayers and the date set for final passing and consideration of tenders for the work is April 22. Tile drain loan applications in the amount of $12,000 were accepted and will be forwarded to the Ontario Treasury Department for final approval. Communiques from the provincial government were received advising that the basic shelter grant for 1969 would be continued and that administration of assessment would be taken over by the province in 1970. May hire man to check dump Works superintendent Jim Paisley was given approval Monday night to hire a man to supervise dumping at Exeter's dump grounds in Flay Township and also to see that the premises are used only by Exeter residents. The action was taken after Councillor Ross Dobson reported that the dump was becoming a mess again shortly after it had been bulldozed and cleaned up. He said people who dump along the road into the grounds are the main problem. Dobson told council he had sifted through one load of garbage along the access road and determined through some letters that it had been deposited there by a resident of Stephen. He said he went to see the person in question who only laughed in his face. The dump has been a problem for some time and last year council had a gate erected which was padlocked. Persons wishing access were able to pick up a key at the clerk's office. However, that arrangement failed. Shortly after the lock was put on the gate, someone cut it off to gain access. Members agreed Monday that it appeared that having someone on duty was the only answer to the problem. It was noted a couple of area men spent a great deal of time looking for scrap metal at the dump and it was hoped one of them could be hired at a nominal fee. • • • No action on drain; okay gravel tender By MRS.
