township asking approval for
council to levy charges on all
properties by increasing the mill
rate for costs of recreation
programs used by residents.

recreation costs came about
recently when Seaforth council
passed a resolution levying a fee
of $15 per year per person for use

programs.

Times -Advocate, May 22, 1975
RAP chairman has flood problems
Exeter RAP committee
chairman Jack Underwood had
two flooding problems to discuss
when he appeared before Exeter
council, Tuesday.
One was at Riverview Park and
the other was in his own
basement.
To overcome the first problem,
the RAP chairman suggested
that council contact the Ausable-
Bayfield Conservation Authority
and ask them to undertake a
study to see what can be done to
avoid the wash -outs which occur
on the island below the dam in
Riverview Park.
"We want to see the situation
rectified in a permanent way so it
is not an annual problem," added
rec director Jim McKinlay, who
noted that valuable ground was
being washed out each year.
Council agreed to ask the
Authority to investigate the
situation.
Later in the meeting, Under-
wood had a letter before council
seeking payment of $80 for
damages caused when the sewer
hacked up and flooded his
hasement on Pryde Boulevard on
April 19.
Another letter was also
received from Gaylan Josephson
for damage caused to items in his
hasement and the work involved
in clean-up. It was for $98.
Underwood had water to a

basement, damaging several
motors and his freezer, while
Josephson had a carpet to clean
and lost the contents of several
boxes when about three inches of
water inundated his basement.
Council agreed to submit the
claims to their insurance com-
pany.
In a discussion on the flooding
itself, Underwood explained that
"a lot of water is coming from
some place—or it's not getting
away".

Theatre night
at South Huron
Next Thursday night the
theatrical talent of South Huron
will be out in full form. The senior
Theatre Arts students are
presenting a two hour show for
the general public. Frequent
practices are helping to get
everything in shape and the show
should be good.
The show is a variety type.
There will be a Leonard Cohen
section which includes music by
some very talented students,
poetry by Mr. Cohen and dancing
which is being choreographed by
Deb Wooden.
A review of Shakespeare is also
on the agenda. There will be
dancing and comedy and a
survey of the women in
Shakespeare. Costumes for this
section are very elaborate.
Suzanne Bakich and her crew are
responsible for this.
After an intermission the
remaining part of the evening
will be devoted to the play
"Colours in the Dark" by James
Reaney which was presented by
the drama students at the 1975
Huron Perth Drama Festival.
The entire show should prove to
be interesting and fun. The
drama group would be most
pleased if you would attend.
There will be something to appeal
to all tastes and the students
would love to perform for you.

the problem may be caused by
contractors who fail to cap sewer
connections made to basement
excavations for new homes in the
area.
Works superintendent Glenn
Kells said this, was possible, and
while these connections should be
capped, he said it was often found
that contractors took off the caps
when it looked like rain so the
basements wouldn't fill up with
water.
Ted Wright said he was of the
opinion that people could avoid
many of their problems with
flooded basements if they would
put an extension from their
eavestroughs and get rid of water
from around their foundations.
Underwood agreed with this
To get costs
on gas tanks
Exeter council don't have
prices yet on installing gasoline
tanks for use of their various
departments, but saving money
on gasoline was one of the topics
at Tuesday's meeting.
While looking through the
accounts, Mayor Bruce Shaw
asked why the departments
didn't buy gas from the outlet
selling it at the lowest price.
He suggested this saving would
be in the interests of the tax-
payers when there was a
noticeable spread in the price of
gasoline at various retail outlets.
None of the members appeared
to have an answer, other than to
note that council had always
followed the practice of
spreading the business around to
all outlets.
It is expected council will have
an estimate on the cost of in-
stalling their own tanks at the
next meeting.
suggestion, noting he had taken
this course of action.
The discussion ended without
council reaching a conclusion on
why so much water appears to
get into the sanitary sewer
system during a heavy rain.
