Exeter is the only county municipality which doesn't. participate in • the county planning fee structure. Exeter owed the county $17,472 at the end of 1996. which includes amounts for 1994. 1995 and -1996.- • The argument .is over the interpretation of a -1990 agreement be- tween the county and Exeter- which the county maintains allows it to charge a county and municipal portion of planning fees. Exeter says the agreement doesn't allow the county to charge fees for planning ap-. plications. • Lucan Community Centre Bingo Wed. Feb. 26 Bingo starts 7:30 p. m.
