Local solicitor Gerry Gray has
advised Exeter council there is a
property line problem at the Ex-
eter cemetery and indicated he
would like to process a quitclaim
to facilitate the sale of the farm
north of the property.
He explained that the land for
the cemetery had been deeded to
the town in two transfers, one
from Nelson Stanlake in 1925 and
the other by the Exeter Burial
Grounds Committee in 1904 and
the two deeds don't go together
to give a continual piece of
property.
A survey of the northern boun-
dary undertaken in 1968 by B. M.
Ross indicates that the prior con-
veyances were not entirely ac-
curate, although Gray said the
differences were very minor.
Council was told they wouldn't
be giving anything away in the
quitclaim, but merely saying
they did not own any property
outside the northern fence.
Councillor Ted Wright said the
cemetery board has recognized
the irregularities, saying that a
fence on the property was
erected to follow the river bank
P-t4pc1 it was therefore not in a
straight line.
While there appeared to be few
objections to the lawyer's re-
quest, council decided to turn the
matter over, to the cemetery
board for their recommendation,
Couldn't fool
everyone!

disaster storm conditions of' the

neither the equipment nor the
funds to open roads, which have

towed away and that was one
which was abandoned in the
middle of main street, However,
under Section 116 of the Highway
Traffic Act vehicles which block
the traffic on streets or hinder
snow removal may be towed
away.
Council passed a motion
requesting the village foreman
phone police if necessary to get
the offending vehicles removed,
towed away if necessary.
The village will not be hiring
equipment to widen the main
streets as it would be very costly
and the streets are in good shape

Council passed a motion stating
"Many farmers, particularly
dairy farmers, have expbrienced
enormous difficulties in shipping
their milk and other .com-
modities, because of the disaster
snow conditions. A number of
dairy farmers have been forced
to dump their milk because of
impassable roads. We are calling
upon the Minister of Agriculture
to initiate, with a minimum of
delay, a programme to compen-
sate these farmers for their
losses."

Cemetery line
not dead-on
Abe Lincoln said many years
ago it was impossible to fool all
the people all the time, and this
was pointed out to the T-A this
week by three observant readers.
In last week's issue we ran a
picture of a road where
a snowblower had come to a dead
end. It carried a caption of "try
again in July?".
It was actually a picture taken
from the 1971 blizzard but was
used again to depict conditions
following this year's storm,
While three readers with keen
memories ( or a good scrapbook )
spotted the resemblance and
called our bluff,' there were many
more who stopped staff members
to suggest that the picture was
probably taken on their road last
week.
So, it appears that while the
photo was not taken last
week, it was an accurate in-
dication of the situation facing
road crews in the area and that
was our intent.
To the student out in Stephen
who wrote a letter questioning
our use of the picture we say
"yes" to her question "was it too
stormy to get a new picture of the
real thing?"

topic of the meeting will be flood
control and with the amount of
snow piled up in the village,
council thinks there may be
problems. They also ordered
1,000 more sandbags to refurbish
the village's rather depleted
stock, .
Don Southcott notified council
in writing of his intention -to
proceed with the construction of
docks along the river bank
bordering the Sherwood
property.
Council did not endorse a
resolution asking for support to
petition the provincial and
federal governments to bring in
legislation to speed up market
responses to increased costs
incurred by farmers.
Canada week will be from June
25 to July 1 this year.
Letters will be written to the
Ministry of Tourism asking for
financial aid in supplying proper
beach patrols for the summer.
Deputy-Reeve Simpson summed
council's feelings when he said
"We are supplying a service to
the visitors of Ontario not just the
village residents and we should
be able to get some kind of aid."
If there is no aid available
there will only be three lifeguards
hired this year which means
during the week there will be only
one guard on patrol for the entire
north beach.
A motion was passed to pur-
chase six used council chairs and
two used steno chairs at a cost of
$50 each for the former and $35
each for the latter,
