Because of the extra work
load -of the reeve, council
voted to grant an
honorarium per annum of
$250 plus $60 (855) per
meeting, while the deputy -
reeve and council members
will receive $50 ($46) per
meeting.
A personnel committee
consisting of Reeve Jack
Dorman and Councillor Jim
Thompson was set up to
meet on a monthly basis with
Bruce Karr and the works
department employees.
At their March 5 meeting,
council also voted to in-
crease the water rates to 80
cents per thousand gallons
and the minimum will in-
crease from $12 to $16 for
three months.
The cost of water to the
township has increased over
the years from 26 cents to
39.3 cents per -thousand
gallons. This increase was
absorbed by the township in
the past, but council felt it
was now necessary to in-
crease the rates.
The new rates will be et-
fective with the current
billing.
The possibility of going to
three tax instalment
payments was discussed.
This would increase the cash
flow and reduce interest
rates, but no decision was
made on the suggestion.
Two months yet before
decision on disarmament
It will be .at least two
months before Exeter
ratepayers know whether
they'll be asked to vote on
the matter of world disar-
mament in next fall's
municipal election.
The CI.ty of Ottawa has
circulated a resolution
suggesting that all
municipalities join in a
movement known as
"Operations Dismantle" and
that a referendum be staged
to allow citizens to voice
their support for calling on
the world powers to end the
arms race.
Mayor Bruce Shaw,
reporting for the executive
committee, said this week
the matter has been tabled
for two months so council
can determine what may be
involved in the referendum.
He explained that if
council decides to stage the
referendum, it would have to
proceed even if all council
seats were filled by ac-
clamation and this would
result in an expenditure
strictly for the Operations
Dismantle referendum.
It was also indicated that
the committee wished to
consider further the effect
Permit value
drop -significent
The value of building
permits issued in rebruary
was about half the total of
the previous month,
although the decline was
more significant in terms of
the ratio than the dollar
value.
Only two permits were
issued last month by building
inspector Brian Johnston for
a value of $12,787.76. One was
for a residential renovation
and the other was for an
institution.
In January, the total value
of permits was just over
823,000, suggesting that
1982's total could fall below
the record low of last year.

referendum would have.
The City of London has
moved to hold the referen-
dum.
Council approved the
recommendation of the
committee to increase the in -
town mileage allowance paid
to -employees who drive their
own vehicles. The new rate
will be 20 cents per km. or 32
cents per mile. The rate
became effective on March
1.
The out-of-town mileage
allowance will remain at 16
cents per km. or 25 cents per
mile.

recommendation to

to 16 as "Pitch -In '82". It is a
joint project of .the Ontario
ministry of the environment
and Shell Oil to have
municipalities join in a
province -wide cleanup
campaign and details of the
