At the Municipal Council meet
ing ’Tuesday evening the tax
rate for Exeter for 1933 was
placed at 30 mills, a reduction of
ten mills on the dollar over 1932.
Economies in all branches of
municipal expenditures, together
with a splendid surplus and the
reduction of the debenture debt
makes the reduction possible.
This is possibly a record in tax
reduction for any municipality.
It is the lowest rate for Exeter in
many years.

On Sunday afternoon last
Richard and W. H. Harness motored
to Grand Bend to view the ice banks
along the shore and while not ex
actly enjoying a swim they took, a
dip m the lake much to their sur
prise and discomfort. There 'were
several ridges of ice and snow along
the lake front rising from 'ten to
fifteen feet high. They had crossed
over two oi’ three ridges and as there
was a man on one of the ridges far
ther out they figured they were safe
in making the trip, but they came
to some honeycombed ice which
gave way beneath their feet and the
lower part of the body was submerg
ed in the icy waters. Throwing
themselves back over the ice they
were saved from being completely
submerged. They were not long in
making the trip home and changec*
to dry clothes.
