F. streamer decorations ing music from the orches- last the Mr. .. ____ _ _ met. the Exeter council in reference to putting down permanent road tar roads on -the side streets of Exeter. The council went into the cost of .the present system of road building In town. The cost of gravelling is $3.25 per load and adding to this the cost of spreading, dragging and keeping down the dust, brings it to almost $5.00 per load in the season. This has been felt, by•the present reeve, Mr. C. B. Snell to be an ex­ cessive cost for road building and after going carefully into the cost of the tar bound road, he believes .the present price can be considerab­ ly reduced. After placing the present situation before the engineers, Mr, Irwin, who has had considerable ex­ perience, estimates thatpthe cost can be split- almost in two? With the present long haulage the cost of gra­ vel delivered in Exeter is consider­ ably higher than it. was a few years rigo. When Exeter had their own pit at the edge of the town seven to pine loads were delivered in a day, the whole cost of which would be in the neighborhood of four to five dollars. Mr. Irwin says that the use i of gravel is the most expensive way of keeping up the roads and with the present traffic on the highway, permanent roads are the1 most satis­ factory. The side streets of Exeter carrying less traffic could be built according to the traffic at a corretu ponding saving in price. A roach tar pavement will alleviate the dust nuisance, making for better health and cleanliness, and the cost now ex­ pended for laying the dust will go a long way toward meeting the de­ bentures for the improved roads. Reeve Snell was in Seaforth on Monday inspecting the tarvia road on Main St. with which the people of Seaforth are quite satisfied. Mr. Snell interviewed the clerk in refer­ ence to cost and finds the figures compare favorably with the figures furnished .the Exeter council.
