Town council has decided that
steps must be taken to prevent
the burning of tires at the town
dump, and to prevent out-of-
towners from using the dump,
and in this way show that at-
tempts are being made to police
the area.
The subject arose in regards to
an application to the Department
of the Environment for a cer-
tificate of approval for the waste
management system and
disposal site.
Councilman Cudmore said all
tires dumped there should be
destroyed to discourage
scrounging.

Councilman Ottewell suggested
that the dump should be fenced in
and locked up. Mayor Delbridge
answered; however, that this has
been tried before, unsuccessfully.
It was decided to erect a sign
announcing that dumping times
are for Exeter residents only, and
that trespassers will be
prosecuted.
During the committee, reports,
Deputy Reeve MacGregor
brought up the question of sewers

Town council opened tenders
Tuesday night for the con-

sewers on Andrew and Victoria
streets. A total of ten tenders
were received, and council
moved the acceptance of that of
Van Bree Drainage and
Bulldozing Ltd., Forest, for
$83,146.73.
This was the only tender which
was below the estimated $80,000
to $85,000 cost of the project.
There was over a $54,000 dif-
ference between the estimates of
the lowest and the highest bidder.
Council accepted the offer,
on a three-month permit.
If more up-to-date methods are
used, municipalities are able to
obtain permanent licences to
operate.
Exeter mayor Jack Delbridge
and Reeve Derry Boyle attended
the meeting as observers and
received information pertaining
to the Exeter dump.
Council accepted the tender of
Exeter Ford Sales Equipment to
supply a new tractor, cab and
mower at a price of $4,494.25, the
lowest of three bids received.
The fuel contract with
Petrofina was renewed for
another two years. The township
will receive gasoline at 42.5 cents
per gallon, diesel fuel at 46 cents

he understood there was some
hestitation on the part of the
council to grant the building
Permit.
"Mr. Tzavaras doesn't want a
law suit, but you may leave him
with no alternative," said
Hamilton, "This is his livelihood,
and he will suffer considerable
loss of income if the town is slow
with the permit."
Conflict over the Burkley arose
when council gave indications at
the last meeting that it wished to
purchase the land on which the
Buckley stands adjacent to the
town hall.
Council has engaged an ar-
chitect to investigate the
feasibility of constructing a new
town hall, incorporating
municipal offices, council
chambers, courtrooms, police
facilities with cells, and possibly
the fire department.
Ninety-eighth Year
Area crashes in the past week
left one dead, eight injured and
property damage estimated at
over $10,000.
Five of the crashes occurred on
Sunday, August 6, including one
which claimed the life of a 16-
year-old Thorndale girl, Debra
Buck.
She was a passenger in a car
pending the approval of B. M.
Ross engineering consultants,
Goderich.
Council also heard, the monthly
police report from Chief Ted Day.
He said that in the last month, on
two separate occasions, people
have misrepresented themselves
as employees of the Ontario Fire
Marshall's Office, and have tried
to sell fire-fighting equipment to
area residents. They asked for
$500 down on the equipment,
It was moved "with regret" to
accept the resignation of Con-
stable John Cairns from the
Exeter police detachment.
In order to carry out these
plans at the present site,
however, more land would have
to be acquired.
Without making reference to
this situation, Hamilton alluded
to expropriation, saying that it is
not what it used to be. It is very
expensive for a town, he said, and
the man who is being ex-
propriated has nothing to lose.
"The balance of scales is in favor
of the property owner,"
Following the presentation,
the council held a closed, com-
mittee of the whole to discuss the
application. Upon re-
adjournment of the regular
meeting, council members made
no comments, but approved the
building permit in the regular
course of business.
With regards to the new town
hall, motion was passed to inform
the architect to design a building
