Hay approves fire board budget Continued from front page out the culverts were not in the report, and landowners not present did not know about extra costs for the culverts. It was noted a five foot culvert downstream could be moved farther upstream and only one new culvert in a larger size would then be required. Holdsworth suggested the report be accepted with the revision that the culvert be replaced and the cost be dis- tributed according to acreage, Those in attendance agreed the drains were in need of repair and work should not be held up because of slightly increased costs for the culvert. Council passed a nation accepting the report with provision for the culvert and Provide seed cash Ken Bowden of the Ontario ministry of industry and tourism was in attendance at. the March meeting of the Exeter industrial and tourism promotion com- !, mittee. The committee report filed with council this week states they had an excellent discussion with the ministry official concerning: 1. Exeter's approach to attracting industry. 2. Grants available for new industry establishing in Exeter. 3. Exeter geographical location for industry and services available to in- dustry. 4. Future prospects for industry and types of in- dustry looking to Ontario for sites. Bowden assured the committee of the ministry's cooperation and assistance, in their endeavours. The committee voted to provide the Heritage Days committee with "seed money" of $500. Chairman Bill Mickle said the com- mittee views these events as an important project of the community that should attract tourists and his group supports the efforts of the Heritage Days committee in their endeavours. distribution of costs. It was noted costs can still be discussed at a court of revision and better es- timates of costs would be available when tenders for the work were accepted. Council set March 12 as the date for the court of revi- sion and will call for tenders to be dellhered the same daEarl and Harold Dignan met with council to discuss maintenance of a cemetery oft Highway 84 near Ferguson Apiaries. Council was told the cemetery was once the site of a Methodist Church in what was known as Fansville. Earl Dignan said be had cut grass -and weeds at the cemetery several times last year. He noted the ground was very rough for a mower but that he had done the work free. He said his family had stones near the road corner which he did not feel needed to be moved. He added that of the people he knew that had relatives buried there none would want the stones moved into the centre of the cemetery. A complaint received through the ministry of con- sumer and commercial relations claimed there was poor maintenance at the cemetery. Several of the stones had fallen over or been damaged by vandals in the past. - Dignan suggested the township leave a truck load of fill at the site and he could fill in holes in the property to level it off. Grasscouldthen be more easily maintained. Hemoted many people stop there over the summer tp examine the stones for burial places of relatives. Council members express- ed concern that they did not know who had complained nor the specifics of the com- plaints. Members agreed they would like to see the cemetery improved and the township will write to the ministry to see if any grants would be available for the improvements. Mousseau said if ,thk township takes it over it would be expected to main- tain other cemeteries too. He suggested a fund could be set up amongst those in- terested in the future of the cemetery. In other business: Council accepted the budget .et the Exeter and area fire board. Hay pays six percent of the $19.768 budget, about $7,600. Mousseau note the fire protection was becoming costly but that a number of costly industries in the township were protected by the Exeter area board. Councillor Tony Bedard pointed out the budget was more than double the actual 1981 expenditures. He added that if a committee he sat up came up with a similar budget, they would be told to go back to the drawing board. He added he would tell the fire board the same thing. Mousseausaid that part of the budget, $22,000 for a new heating system, would have a portion returned as grants and other costs such as in- surance and licences had in- creased this year. He added there wasn't much more that could be cut out of the budget. ' Council passed bylaws confirming the appointment of the fire chief and deputy chief for insurance purposes when the Exeter area fire department fights a fire in Hay Township. Cbuncil also passed bylaws concerning rules and regulations and remunera- tion for fire department per- sonnel. • . A bylaw for reduced roads loading was passed by coun- cil. Roads superintendent Ross Fisher :said the bylaw was a blanket regulation Tow truck in collision For the second week in a row, the Exeter OPP report only one accident. That one occurred on Tuesday on Highway 4 just north of Exeter when a vehicle driven by Kevin Fothergill, Londesboro, collided with a Hensall Motors tow truck that was in the process of hooking on to a stranded vehicle. The tow truck operator was not in the vehicle at the time. Police estimate damage in the collisio at $2050. There were no ittjbjies. which did not go into effect until signs were posted along roadways. He noted the signs could then be moved to where they are needed. Interest rates on overdue taxes were set at 18 percent by a bylaw which will take effect Apr'iI 1. Council agreed to paving needed in »ashwood. Coun- cil accepted thecostsof about' $10,000 and will decide now it is to be budgetted when more data on the roads budget is compiled. RECEIVE GRANT Word has been received by MP Murray Cardiff's office that a 1100,000 grant under the Community Develop- ment Program has been ear- marked for Huron -Bruce. Cardiff's Ottawa office reported the information came last week from the Hon. Lloyd Axworthy's ministry of manpower and immigration. The grant is to assist with high unemploy- ment in the region. Crack down on violation Several people have been using the parking lot behind the town offices for all -day parking and Exeter's police committee recommended the • police take action to restrict the parking to two hours. Police committee chairman Gaylan Josephson said the two-hour limit was being abused by several people and recommended that the police give warnings and follow-up • continuing abuses with park- ing tickets. He also noted that the Huron County Housing Authority had responded to council's concern over the lack of off-street parking at the senior citizen apartments on Sanders St. The Authority explained that the parking lothaabeen expanded and a few visitor. parking spaces had been created. However, Josephson said the sign leading to the park- ing lot still advises that park ing is strictly for residents. Council had voiced concern over the parking situation because of the number of cars parking on the street creating traffic hazards in the area of the facility.
