Two weeks ago, council turned down a suggestion that they at least approve the proposal in principle. Monday night, with a questionnaire before them from County MOH Dr. Frank Mills, they did indicate they were in favor of plumbing and building inspections, but indicated they had reservations about the county plan because of the cost 'suggested for such inspections. Deputy-Reeve Helen Jermyn who had earlier supported the plan in principle also suggested council should express some concern about the service that would be received. Most members of council this week still maintained that the price for the inspections suggested by Dr. Mills was much too high. He has recommended that the inspections be put on a self sustaining basis and fees suggested would cost a new home builder over $200 for inspections. "I'd go along if the fees were reasonable," Councillor Bruce Shaw suggested, apparently. echoing many council members' sentiments on the subject. Later in the meeting, council again discussed one of their Let contract for water Fred McGregor, Brucefield, has been awarded the contract to install the water system for the hamlet of Brucefield. The McGregor tender, lowest of seven received, was $52,129.44. Other tenders opened at the Tuesday night session of Tuckersmith council ranged as high as $75,299, Passed for payment was the account for $4,800 from W. D. Hopper & Sons, RR 2, Seaforth, for the cost of drilling the well for the system. The 290-foot well was drilled last summer. Work on the new system is expected to commence in the immediate future. Four building permits were approved: George Clifton, Kippen, house addition; Lloyd Lostell, Kippen, addition to mobile home; Barry Linden, Toronto, new house in the Brucefield area; Robert Broadfoot, RR 1, Brucefield, for a new poultry barn. Clerk James McIntosh was authorized to call tenders for garbage collection in Vanastra. Homeowners will pay a flat fee for the service on their annual tax bill, Driving over a lawn at Huron Park resulted in a fine of $83 for an Ailsa Craig man when he appeared before Judge Glenn Hays in Exeter court, Tuesday. William Simpson had been charged with trespassing with a motor vehicle following an in- cident on May 0. He pleaded guilty. Evidence revealed the accused crossed over a playground and then onto a private lawn. There was little damage. Police were notified by a home owner who observed the performance while looking out a window in a house nearby. Another Ailsa Craig man, Glen E, Thompson, was fined $100 and had his licence suspended for three months after pleading guilty to a charge of impaired driving. He was stopped after police spotted his erratic driving on February 11 in Stephen Town- ship. He showed signs of im- pairment when stopped. Judge Glenn Hays applied a restricted licence suspension, allowing Thompson to drive between two family farms bet- ween the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. A fine of $100 was levied against Charles Ross Keller, Dashwood, who pleaded guilty to careless driving. He ran into a ditch on March 3. No evidence was given regarding the cause, In other cases heard by Judge Hays and Justice of the Peace Douglas Wedlake, the following fines were levied: Thomas J. Barry, Seaforth, $43 , for passing another vehicle on the right. Gary Eugene Welsh, Exeter, force them," commented Deputy-Reeve Helen Jermyn, who in the past has urged council to take stronger action against builders who contravene the existing regulations. During the discussion, Pat- terson indicated that Triebner felt he did not have the backing of council in dealing with situations where contractors fail to live up to the regulations. "1 can't understand that," commented Shaw. monthly subjects - building in- spections, Councillor Harold Patterson said a committee which he heads had talked to building inspector Doug Triebner about the latter's intent to resign his post.

RAP rentals - Continued from front page noting that the $25 charged the Exeter Kinsmen for last Week's Quarter Horse show was not enough because it had taken two men some 12 hours to clean up the grounds after the event. Willert added that the hor- semen showed little concern for the park in that they rode their horses across the ball diamond, as well as the lawn at the public school. "They just don't seem to care," he stated. Shaw said a "double standard" should perhaps be set for some rental rates, with good customers getting a lower rate than those who left the grounds in a mess. There appeared to be some confusion how the rate of $25 had been set for the community park. Willert said it appeared strange that RAP had set such a rate in the past couple of years while back in 1961 the rate for the grounds for the day was $200. "It should have gone up since then, not down," he opined. Chairman Baynham also took time to reply to criticism levelled by T-A editor Bill Batten recently regarding the fact the town had not filed applications for grants available under the sports and recreation branch. He had Willert read a letter advising that an application from Exeter for a minor baseball houseleague program had been turned down. Baynham said the grants apparently went to towns where recreation programs had not been organized in the past. In reference to a grant received by St. Marys for additional recreation grounds, he said Exeter had no similar need. He said it appeared that Exeter's application had been turned down because the town is better organized than most communities which received the grants. "It doesn't pay to be a leader in some of these fields," he suggested. Willert said, during the debate, that the grant may have been received if the minor ball of- ficials had applied instead of the recreation director. Warden Roy Pattison is meeting regularly now. Plans are to make recommendations based on the findings of the committee in the field of welfare, library and health. "The committee proposes to detail a comparison in costs between population basis versus assessment basis for these three mentioned services," reported Thomas. During the brief discussion, Reeve Anson McKinley of Stanley applauded the recent provincial budget which gave a 50 percent tak rebate to farmers but deplored the resource equalization grant which "treats the land as a taxable resource to be equalized". "A lot of strange 'formulas will come out of Toronto in the next couple of years," predicted John Berry, clerk-treasurer.

The scheme as presently proposed is to be financed on a "user pay" basis and it is hoped the fees for in- spection will carry the salary of the staff. ,It was explained the first year would be a "growth period" which would be financed by the county, hut based on 400 new residences in Huron per annum it is felt the program would soon support itself. Dr. Frank Mills, Medical Officer of Health for Huron, told council that plumbing inspections by the county were discontinued in 1970 even though the bylaw is still in effect, He noted that in the past, many cases escaped in- spection and a new plumbing inspection scheme would en- deavor to cover all construction in the county. At the present time, however, Huron County has no qualified plumbing inspectors Dr. Mills said. Derry Boyle, Exeter reeve and a former chairman of the Board of Health, said the government pays a 50 percent subsidy on the salaries of sanitary inspectors but "not five cents for plumbing inspections". Boyle said that the county should either pressure govern- ment to provide subsidy on plumbing inspections or "drop it completely". John Flannery, reeve of Seaforth, charged that plumbing inspection would increase the cost of plumbing by as much as 25 to 50 percent because of the loss of time. Reeve Bill Elston of Morris Township expressed his concern for the "disgraceful" situation at the Listowel lagoon.He noted that government officials would "rather not talk about it" and he asked Dr. Mills for an updated report on the matter. Dr. Mills said the promise exists that by 1975 Listowel will have a complete sewage system, but he noted that "people pushing it in the House" is still of vital concern. He said Huron MPP Jack Riddell was fully aware of the situation and was en- deavoring to do his part to keep the matter current at Queen's Park. Dr. Mills noted the respon- sibility lies essentially with "the environment people" ,who will provide the money for changes at,, Listowel. Bacteria counts taken in the Maitland River are "so far satisfactory", reported Dr. Mills. He said chlorination of the ef- fluent at the lagoon is a possibility and "will help".

T-A photo Mixed reaction over bike camp Villagers in Grand Bend greeted with mixed feelings Resources Minister Leo Ber- nier's announcement Monday that a provincial camping area for motorcyclists may be established in the Grand Bend area, He said be would be meeting with his deputies this week to select a • site for a strictly motorcycle-oriented camping area. Family groups would be allowed into the motorcycle park, but "they won't be able to complain. They'll know what they're in for." Elected village officials were mainly cautious in their ap- proach to the proposal, adopting a wait-and-see attitude. While village clerk Mrs. Louise Clipperton admitted she wasn't "too thrilled about it", she qualified her remarks saying motorcylists would "probably be better off" in an area where they could "stick to themselves". She said she was aware of an area near Bayfield where motorcyclists were currently camping on private land. "They don't seem to be having any trouble there," Mrs. Clipperton noted. Village councillor Bob Sharen said he didn't have any "par- ticular beefs" against motor- cyclists, but felt it might be impossible to police such an area. The town official said Grand Bend officials had not been Consulted by the province about the proposed camp and couldn't speculate where it might be located. "The Ontario government did buy about 100 acres of land near Bayfield last fall, though, but I have no idea whetherthis may be the proposed site," said Mr. Sharen. The most vocal critic of the suggested camp was Grand Bend businessman Griffin Thomas, a past president of the village's chamber of commerce. He said it would be more beneficial to Grand Bend if the province banned motorcycles from the village's main street. "If you drive into the village on a Sunday afternoon with, your family and see 250 motorcycles parked on the main street, you know where you're going to take your family — away from here, "As far as I'm concerned, they can take all those machines and dump them out in the middle of the lake," Mr. Thomas said, adding that he was president of ' the chamber of commerce during the 1967. riots at the village and was well acquainted with motorcyclists. "I don't know why Mr. Bernier would do it — maybe he's just trying to finish off Grand Bend once and for all. He certainly did a good job at it last year," Mr. Thomas said, "when he banned motorcycles from the Pinery. He landed them right in the middle of our laps." Mr. Bernier said banning of motorcycles from the Pinery Provincial Park about the middle of last summer hasn't stopped complaints of rowdyism. He said the ban may be extended to all provincial parks before establishment of the motor- cycle oriented areas. PEACE LUTHERAN CHURCH Andrew and George Streets Pastor: Rev. F.
