SENIORS CELEBRATE — The Exeter senior citizens celebrated the 25th anniversary of their
organization, Monday. Cutting the cake are past president Alma Rundle, the only charter
member Ethel Schroeder and current president Dorothy Bullock. T-A photo
Delinquent dog owners to be penalized
Exeter residents who are
slow in paying for their dog
tags will face an increased
rate this year, although at
least one member of council
suggested Monday that it
could result in fewer people
paying for dog tags in the
first place.
Social services committee
chairman Lossy Fuller
presented a recommenda
tion that people buying tags
after the March 31 deadline
would be penalized as much
as $5.
“Hopefully, it will make
people aware they have to
get in (to the clerk’s office)
to get tags,” she com
mented.
The present fee schedule
would remain in effect until
March 31. Those fees are
$7.50 for a male or spayed
female, $15 for a female and
$25 for a kennel licence.
After March 31, the cor
responding rates would in
crease to $10 for a male or
spayed female and $20 to $30
respectively for females and
kennels.
Councillor Don Cameron
said he was a little worried
“in this day of female
liberation” that a male
dog’s tag was half the price
of a female.
“They (males) don’t
cause half as much
problem,” Deputy-Reeve
Don MacGregor com
mented.
Mrs. Fuller said that the
town was losing money
because many dog owners
didn't get tags. She in-
dicated that only 187 tags
were sold last year, while
the dog population was pro
jected at something around
500.
Cameron replied that
dropping the cost of tags and
not increasing them would
probably encourage more
people to pay.
Mayor Boyle, however,
suggested the fees may dis
courage people from owning
dogs.
“It may discourage them
from buying dog tags,”
Cameron replied.
Pet store owner Harold
Patterson wondered what
would happen in the case of
people who bought dogs
after the March 31 deadline.
Would they have to pay the
penalty?
Mrs. Fuller deliberated on
that question and then
replied in the affirmative,
although she later suggested
they could get tags at the
lower rate if they provided a
sales receipt showing they
had made their pet purchase
after the deadline.
“Don’t you think we’re
getting a little involved over
a little thing like a dog tag?”
Reeve Si Simmons finally
asked.
With that, council ap
proved the recommendation
of the committee.
At the conclusion of the
debate, Mrs. Fuller in
dicated her committee
members were presently
negotiating with a woman
who may be hired to go door-
to-door to sell tags and dogs are housed without the
check on households where necessary tags. _____

“I asked them if they
would like to go back to hand
operated cream separators
and coil oil lamps,” Boyle
told fellow Commissioners.
At the London meeting, the
50 representatives of
municipal utilities and
private users were urged by
Hydro officials to attend
hearings in support of
Hydro’s position that new
transmission facilities are
needed and plans must be
started on the necessary
process.
Use increases
In another discussion at
Wednesday’s PUC meeting,
Davis indicated that while
they have plans for a new
sub-station in 1980, it won’t
be any too soon.
He said loads throughout
the province sky-rocketed in
January, and Exeter was no
exception. He said some of
the loads experienced in
town this January hadn’t
been anticipated until 1981.
Both of the existing sub
stations are now running at
over 100 per cent capacity
and the Commission ap
proved his suggestion for
some transfer of loads from
one to the other to improve
service to some sections of
town.
The transfer will be a stop
gap solution and Davis said
the “problem will solve itself
with the new sub-station.”
Ontario Hydro is expected
to file a report with the PUC
for their next meeting on
whether they will be fed
power from Seaforth or
Centralia. The Com
missioners have expressed
their concern over the feed
coming from Seaforth rather
than Centralia.
At the present time, the
feed is coming from both
places and this created an
unusual situation recently
when half the town ex
perienced a black-out due to
a failure from the Centralia
feed. The portion fed from
Seaforth was unaffected.
No answer
The PUC manager
reported that little progress
had been made in finding an
alternative if the Exeter
Answering Service ter
minates . service when the
new Huron police com
munication system comes
into operation.
Another firm had in
dicated some interest in
providing an answering
service for evening and week
end trouble calls for the
PUC, but it has since ceased
operation.
Davis said he planned to
meet with an official from
Bell Telephone this week to
see what options may be
open from that source.
