EXETER • Will pay agreement costs for parking Climbed seven-foot fence $28 for swim August 4, 1977 Page 5 At the recommendation of the local parking authority, Exeter council this week agreed to pay the $200 to $300 costs involved in getting agreements signed by several merchants for use of land behind their stores as a parking area. TAX OFFICER — Dixie Amerongen, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. William Amerongen, RR 1 Crediton, graduated recently from the University of Waterloo with a Bachelor of Mathematics degree. She is presently employed as a taxation officer with Revenue Canada in Ottawa. GETS BA DEGREE — Gerard Charrette, son of Mr. and Mrs. Dennis Charrette, RR 1, Dashwood recently received his Honours Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Western Ontario. He will be attending Althouse College in the fall. The area under consideration is behind the stores on the west side of Main St. between Victoria & Grey Trust and John St. The Board of Management of the Central Business Area have already secured tentative agreements to use the property and the money allotted will be used to draw up formal agreements. Council also agreed to continue their efforts to buy or lease the vacant lot behind G & G Discount as an access route to this par- ticular parking area. At the suggestion of parking authority chairman Bill Batten, council also decided to set a two- hour parking limit on the lot behind the town's administration office, Batten said most of the parking spots were used by employees of local businesses. He said a recent survey in- dicated that employees and merchants were also tying up several other prime parking areas. The Central Business organization have indicated they will contact store owners in an effort to have these parking spots left open for shoppers. May have new refuse collectors Some local businesses will have to improve their method of putting out garbage, or they may find they'll have to arrange their own disposal in the future. That was the warning issued Tuesday night by Councillor Ted Wright, who said the manner in which some refuse is put out for collection "is getting deplorable", He said warning signs would be made up for use of the garbage collectors to advise residents that their garbage is not being set out in an acceptable manner. Those who subsequently fail to heed the warning will have their garbage left behind. "The men have to carry a shovel for some of them," Deputy-Reeve Don MacGregor said in reference to the state of some garbage set out. Wright said it was too much to expect the men to handle some of the r efuse in the manner in which it is set out for them. Two weeks ago, Exeter council decided to hold in abeyance a decision about paving the parking lot at the new police office. However, they were advised this week that the work had been done. Committee chairman Ken Ottewell said the opportunity came along to get a favorable price and he had found most members were in agreement to have the work done. Works superintendent Glenn Kells said that the contractor doing some paving on town streets gave a favorable price "that couldn't be matched in another year or even this year". It was further explained by Deputy-Reeve Don MacGregor that the contractor had a partial load of asphalt left over after the street paving and this was the reason for the low price. The price paid was not men- tioned during the discussion. * * * A meeting of Huron's urban councils will be held in Sep- tember to again discuss a county- wide communication system for the police departments. Councillor Ken Ottewell said that most of the councils had been represented at a recent meeting in Stratford when the Perth system was obseryed, He explained that the Perth system was more elaborate than what was required in Huron, but he suggested council should seriously consider joining in such a program. It was noted that. Goderich was ready to move on the idea and said that other councils should join in at the outset, otherwise they may have terms dictated to them when they do decide to enter into a plan for central dispatch. Ottewell said he was concerned about the location of the central dispatch, noting that Clinton would be more central than Goderich and this would result in lower costs than having the system located at Goderich. * * * Exeter council Tuesday night authorized reconstruction of two sections of sidewalk as proposed by the public works committee. The work to be undertaken this year includes almost two blocks on •William Street between Sanders and Anne and another lengthy section on Huron Street from William to the railroad tracks, Estimated cost of the work will he around $14,000. Deputy-Reeve Don MacGregor, also reported that some section of the bank at the Ausable River reservoir will be cleared up by students working for the Ausable Hayfield Con- servation Authority. The town will pay a portion of tile costs involved. * * * Exeter council decided this week to have their solicitors negotiate a deal or consider expropriation to give them ownership of land currently used as an access to Riverview Park at the end of Hill Street. The land is owned by Mt. and Mrs. Jay Campbell, who advised council they would give owner- ship to the town if they in turn received a completed sewer connection to their home and a cash payment of $1,800. The total cost to the town was estimated at $3,000 for the 60' by 85' portion of property. Council members suggested they already have a surface right-of-way due to the fact the property has been used as an access to the park for many years and felt they should not get in- volved in a type of deal suggested by the land owners. "It's time we had clear title to the roadway," Ken Ottewell suggested. * * * Exeter council agreed this week to pay $1,085 in settlement for an easement secured over the property of Ed 'Hunter-Duvar for the Anne St. drain. "' The new price is somewhat lower than what Hunter-Duvar had requested. It was based on $500 for the easement, $435 for a property appraisal, $100 legal costs and $50 interest, The easement was taken out about four years ago when council undertook the extension of the drain. The work was started before the property owner had signed any agreement. In authorizing the settlement, Ken Ottewell suggested it should serve•asa lesson for council "so , Several other , ,n4pper,ty owners, we don't get caught again," ,j ;:ktieceived payments for 'basements on thebproject, while many others did not receive any payment. Pays A Huron Park youth, who went to a great deal of trouble to get swimming in the Huron Park pool recently, ended up with an ad- ditional problem, Tuesday. Timothy Harley Griffith was fined $28 or three days after pleading guilty to a charge of trespass. The fine was levied by Justice of the Peace Douglas Wedlake. The court learned that Griffith had to climb over a seven foot chain link fence--which also had three lengths of barbed wire on it- -to get into the pool. He was given 15 days in which to pay his fine. Other fines levied on Tuesday by Mr. Wedlake were as follows: Keith H. Lewis, Forest, $13 for a speed of 60 in a 50 zone. Bryan L.
