Crediton 234-63 8 2 Reeve Ervin Sillery said he felt all councillors should receive the same expense money rather than each one getting reimbursed for what he actually spends. In the past, the township has only paid for councillors attendance, not for their wives and "I don't think that's right," said Deputy Reeve Bob Bell, Councillor Bob Drummond suggested that spouses pay their own way but that councillors get paid a wage when at a con- vention, that they could hire someone to do the chores at home.' The $75 per day expense allowance agreed upon includes basic expenses for spouses, Council members will probably attend an average of one con- vention a year each, clerk Jim McIntosh said, Councillors Frank Falconer and Bob Fotheringham indicated that they'd attend the Ontario Good Roads Association in Toronto, February 20-23, Water and sewer charges for Vanastra that will raise $94,000, the estimated costs of running the system there, were adopted, About one third of the amount will be raised on the mill rate, residences and commercial units will pay a minimum of $40 per billing, which will be done three times a year; and volume users will pay the other third of the cost, at a rate of about 40 cents per cubic meter (about 220 gallons).

Vanastra residents will still pay an additional mill rate for recreation. "If we are going to donate to Clinton, Seaforth, etc. (for recreation) we can't nail it all to Vanastra", reeve Sillery said. Bill Brown of Egmondville pointed out to council that a mistake in news stories from the last. council meeting left the impression that Tuckersmith residents pay 20 mills for recreation and Vanastra Lodge vet receives pin Saturday Past Grands Norm Stanlake, Tom Yellow, and Garnet Hicks accompaniedNoble Grand Fred Delbridge to Guelph to present a Grand Lodge Long Service diploma to Past Grand Bro.
