Reeve quits Continued from front page he commented. BIA president Bob Swartman said he felt his group had been made the scapegoat over the need for the bylaw to gain their loan from the province. "I agree with the principle of the bylaw." he said. but added the BIA had very little time to complete the requirements for the $150.000 loan. the deadline being Thursday. "I think you've got a good bylaw, but obviously I must be missing something." he said in reference to the objections against it. He warned that if council turned it down, it could mean the end of the BIA. Mayor Boyle then entered the discussion to say the bylaw should have contained some regulations for safe passage on Sidewalks and the elimination of merchants displaying wares on the street. "We're getting carried away with exaggerations." Wright interjected and members called for the vote. After it was passed. Simmons said they couldn't ram it down his throat and he proceeded to put on his jacket and walk out of the meeting. Teachers Continued from !"t fund used to provide teachers with an opportunity for research and studies. The board presently pays about $34.000 per year and the teachers were seeking $65,000 Moore recom- mended an increase to $45.000. Moore opposed a suggestion by the teachers for an increase in travel allowance. The teachers are seeking to receive five days leave per year without loss of salary for the chairperson of the economic policy committee and the presidents of the branch affiliate to undertake work associated with those positions. Moore recommended that one. but not both. of the leaves be incorporated into the agreement. The teachers have agreed to bear the cost of the supply teachers required by such leave. While none of Moore's recommendations have to be accepted by either party. he urged the two sides to put their past difficulties behind them and to re -assess their positions having regard to his recommendations. Endorse resolution • A suggestion from the Town of Dunnville that municipalities receive more financial help in the in- stallation and maintenance of automatic signalling devices at railway level crossings was endorsed this week by Exeter council on the recommendation of the public works committee. Two weeks ago. council decided to file the resolution from Dunnville. but then turned it over to the com- mittee when works superintendent Glenn Kells said it could affect Exeter if signals were ever installed at the Huron Street crossing. Kells also advised that some township councils in the area were experiencing financial problems in maintaining automatic signals due to the lack of assistance from the Railway Grade Crossing Fund and the Railway Corporations. The resolution calls for the installation to be shared equitably by the municipality. the ministry, the Crossing Fund and the Railway Corporations and the cost of maintenance to be shared only by the Crossing Fund and the Railway Corporations. "It doesn't affect us very much. but it does some towns and townships," committee chairman Ted Wright commented in making the recommendation. Police office Continued from front page some members were disassociating themselves from earlier decisions. "This council made that decision," he said of the building plan. On a question from Mayor Derry Boyle, the architect said his fee would be six percent of the original estimate of 580,000, regar- dless whether council ac- cepted the project or not. It's away beyond estimate and I'm at a loss to know what to do now," committee chairman Don MacGregor said. He explained there would still be more cost involved with some fur- nishings for the building. Simmons said council had little alernative but to accept the bid and proceed with the project. adding that if they had been concerned about the cost they should have considered his alternative suggestion last summer. The motion to accept the Gregus bid, subject tq the 100 percent bond or equivalent was approved. with only Councillor Don Cameron not voting in favor. He said he was not prepared to accept the bid. "There's something wrong," he suggested. Dejager said council would never build the structure for the same price again if it was delayed. After the project was approved, Councillor Ted Wright presented a motion that council not go back to the OMB for approval for additional debenturing, but explore some avenue to take the extra funds out of next year's budget. Noting it would represent a six mill hike, he said some other services may have to be eliminated next year.
