the county council committee were <
appointed to deal with almost every <
question that came up and the mem- :
hers of the committees were fair-
minded men. Mr. Snell did not ex
actly fall in line with the way the ■'
•-appointment of IMr. Tern’s successor
■was made. He thought that it had ;
not been fully advertised, He agreed
however that the inspector appoint
ed was. well qualified for the posi
tion.
Iii speaking of the extra mill in
tax rate this year Mr. Snell saidj
that the town had not received the
usual returns from the Public Utili
ties Commission owing to the heavy
•expense in repairs to the power*
house, at the dam caused when the
north wall fell out last spring,
amount was $1150 less than
year which amounted to over
mill on the dollar. He felt
-there had not been a dollar spent
■foolishly during the year,
B. M. Francis
Mr. Francis expressed his regret
at so much illness. He said he had
qualified for re-election. In speak
ing of the By-law he thought it was
one of the best opportunities that
1 had come to Exeter to secure some
thing worth while. The council
felt that with thp security they were
getting the town was amply protect
ed, The building must be up and
the machinery in operation before
the town advances any money,
felt there was nothing to lose
much to gain.
Mr, Francis said that there
been a heavy expenditure for gravel

thing of real value for Exeter.
J. G. Stanbury
Mr. Stanbury said that the Board
of Education were the service de
partment who gave their services
free. He regretted the illness of
Mr. Creech, chairman of the Board,
who had been making notable pro
gress. There had been nothing par
ticular during the year with one not
able exception, the addition to the
school. There had been* a’ difference
of opinion among the ratepayers as
to the best way to, meet^the demand
for more room at the school but the
matter had been decided in a man
ner that had been unanimously ac
cepted by the Board and he hoped
by the ratepayers. When calling
for tenders for the new addition,
Mr. Depottie, a heating engineer,
recommended certain changes to the
old sytem which he stated would
heat the school on one-third less
fuel. The old sytem had not given
satisfactory results and after getting
the necessary information the Board
decided to make the change. During
the coldest/days last winter it was
necessary /to get a head of steam
from 12zro 15 points but since re
modelling it was only necessary to
get ajBout 4 points and letting • it

Thursday, December 27th with a
fail* attendance. The Roll Call, a
fish recipe, was well answered. Some
relief work was discussed ami a

matter. Plans were discussed for
the making of quilts in the Insti

January 2nd, 1929
TO THE ELECTORS OF EXETER
Ladies ami Gei||lemeii:
I have decided to allow my name
to appeal* on the ballot paper as
Reeve for 1929. Having served you
for four years, during which time,
the tax rate of Exeter has been re
duced from 45 mills to 40 mills,
with a good substantial surplus in
the treasury, namely $4,036.31 Up
to December 15th, 1927 which shows
on December 31st -after paying De
bentures amounting to $2,436.66 and
other incidentals, there was a net
surplus in the teasury o^ $1,559.74,
which when adding $1,300.00 for
the Fire engine which was not an
expenditure, but an investment and
stands there today, would make the
total of $2,859.74 to the credit of
the town after the year’s business.
The council of 1928 starting in
$1559.74 in the treasury. The ar-
ears of taxes in 1927 being $1,635.-
44 and the arrears in 1928 being
$1,032j36 a difference of $600.00 to
the credit of the 1928 council, also
taxes on the increased assessment
being approximately $500.00, also
the decrease in expenditure on Roads
and Bridges being approximately
$590.86, and other amounts of a less
er nature, we find they have a sur
plus of $2,403.71 up to December
15th, 1928, but at the end of the
year, this sum when the debentures
which fall due aftei* December 15th
is paid, it will wipe out the entire
surplus, and leave a deficit, notwith
standing, one mill, being added to
the rates. Bpace will not permit of
a more detailed account of the repot,
I have dealt with the most outstand
ing figures found in he recapitula
tion of receipts and expenditures.
With all respect to the council of
1928, I think it is your business as
well as mine to take nqte of these
.facts. • • .
Now as I have given the business
of this municipality, in the past fo.ur
years, my sole and undivided al^;
tention I feel that I have attain^ *
success by my efforts and am pr(
pared to do some in the future 6f
