Continued from front page
would indicate there were suitable
spots for agricultural -related
businesses that were not suitable for
agriculture for a variety of reasons,
such as shape or size.
The theory is that Exeter -exists to
serve, she continued, noting that 'k-
han centres have costs that rural cen-
tres don't, such as recreation, polic-
ing, water, sanitary sewers, etc.
"You haven't used up all your land
and that's land that's supposed to be
used up first," she commented.
The planner added that the reason
for the existence of urban centres is -
to serve and accommodate the needs
of the nearby rural communities and
suggested Hay was now wanting to
duplicate those services by having
agricultural -related industries
established in close proximity to the
town.
Whenasked by Mickle if the town
could be ordered to extend services
such as water and sewers to serve the
needs of Hay businesses, the planner
said that was possible, especially if
health was a factor, citing the case
•where London had to provide water
to Delaware when that municipality's
supply became unsuitable for human
consumption.
While it was noted that such an
edict could be handed down by the
ministry' -of the environment -when =-=
there were health risks, she said it -
---was-less4ikely-on-ccgaemic-grounds
only.
When Mickle asked if the inclusion
of homes in the proposed develop-
ment could create a problem and re-
quire town services, she responded in
the affirmative.
At the conclusion of her discussion,
Ms. Monteith explained she could not
give any assurances that Exeter
_would win another appeal to the OMB,
so could not advise them on the action
to take.
Councillor Dorothy Chapman said
the decision made could have an ef-
fect on what goes on in Exeter in the
future and Councillor Morley Hall
added that approval of the proposed
development could start a precedent
that would be followed on other town
boundaries.
Ms. Monteith agreed that the long-
term implications were important
because if annexation dict take place
in 20 years or so, it would mean that
Hay Township was forcing the town
into pre -planning how Exeter was to
be developed in the future.
"1 strongly believe we have to stand
up for the protection of the town and
the protection of the citizens of the
town," Mickle said in opposing the
Hay proposal. "We have property
here that can do the job".
He also noted that Exeter's water
supply was sufficient for a population
of 6,000 and the present sewer system
could handle 4,700 and there was
room for expansion.
Noting that it was a 50-50 chance
of winning again, the Reeve added
that the "team" that led the fight for
the town at the last OMB hearing was
excellent and would still be working
for the town if the matter reached that
level again. -
"We've workeddarn hard for
planned growth", Mrs. Chapman add-
ed, suggesting the proposal could be
a blow against that work. 'There's no
choice but to fight -it".
Councillor Ben Hoogenboom said
he had sat with Hay on the appraisal
study and neither side was prepared
to move and perhaps it was best to
have an independent person settle the
issue.
After council passed the motion to
oppose the development all the way
to the OMB if necessary, Ms.
Monteith said thatmessageshould be
communicated with Hay as the
township may choose not to proceed
with the plan, but she didn't think that
would happen.
Prior to adjourning, Mayor Bruce
Shaw asked the planner to make a
note that if Exeter should win an ap-
peal again at the 0M13 that the town
should make application to recoup the
costs --involved.
County planning director Davidson
advised council that Hay would be
giving final reading to the com-
prehensive zoning bylaw on April 24.

Hay taxes increased

exempt lands in such cases, and that
the village Ilas promised to pay the
share assessed within its boundaries.
He asked Hay to consider doing the
same on Society land in the township.
The delegation also asked that the
designation of the Society's land in the
township be changed to agricultural..
Zurich clerk Richard Beachey is in-
vestigating the possibility that the
property could be eligible for the one-
third grant on agricultural land.
Reeve Lionel Wilder was appointed
as Hay's representative on the court
of revision on the drain, to be conven-
ed on May 13. at 7:30 in the Zurich
arena. lie said by that time more in-
formation will be available to assist
in making a decision.
Tenders were opened for repair of
the Pergel and Jacob Peters drains.
McKenzie and Henderson, Arkona,
were awarded the tender for the
Pergel drain. Their bid of $14,440 was
the lowest of three submitted. They
promised to begin by May 1, and have
the work completed by August 30.
Kelly Robinson won the contract for
repair of the Peters drain with a bid
of $6,459, the lowest of five.
The Big '0' was the only tenderer
for materials for th Peters drain.
Clerk Joan Ducharme said she
received a phone call from another
company who had just discovered the
tender request on the desk of a staff
member who was away sick. The
company was sending its tender by
courier, but it would not arrive until
after the deadline.
Wilder said in his 20 -year associa-
tion with Hay council no tender had
ever been accepted after the adver-
tised date. Council decided that when
the late tender comes in, it will be
returned unopened to the sender.
The Big '0' tender was for $7,452.39.
Robinson contracted to begin work
July 1 and finish two weeks later.

Cancer drive
is underway
The annual Cancer Society canvass
was kicked off on Friday when
members of the Beta Sigma Phi
Sororities hit the streets in Exeter to
sell daffodils.
Price of the blooms was reduced to
$2.50 a bunch from last year's a ~3.00
and total receipts reached $3,280.
Canvassers will be out in their door-
to-door, collections throughout the .
area during the entire month Of April
in an attempt to meet the Exeter
branch goal of $25,300.
Campaign manager Norm Martin
noted that was up from last year's
target of $2.3,650, but he was op.
tirtristic that the goal would be reach-
ed as it was last year.
The target figure for Huron is
s110,000.
Canvassers have been lined up for
the townships of Usborne, Stephen
and Hay, as well as the towns and
villages in the area.
Businesses will also be canvassed.
The Exeter Lioness will be staging
their annual walkathon to bolster the
canvass in May and the Iluron groups
will join together in June to present
a concert by Art Christmas and his
popular group from Sarnia. That
event will be held at the South Huron
District High School.
Further details of the special events
will be provided as the dates

three times between the last two
regular meetings. One meeting was
called on March 25to approve a tile
drain loan application from Larry
Merner. Another meeting was con-
vened on March 30 to pass a resolu-
tion requesting the Exeter and area
fire board to reopen their agreement
with -Hay and renegotiate levies on an
assessment basis.
Members of Hay council met with
Stanley councillors and four represen-
tatives from the provincial ministry
of the environment on April 2 to work
out the details after the ministry pro-
mised full funding of the estimated
$400,000 additional cost to oversize the
Hay waterline to allow Stanley
township- to hook in at a later date.
The change will only delay a call for
tenders by two weeks, from April 20
to May 4.
Wilder said the ministry had made
a wise decision, and now was the time
to change the pipe from 12 inch to
14 -inch to accommodate Stanley. He
foresaw no holdup in construction,
andemphasized that the change
would be done at no extra cost to Hay
property owners.
