INAUGURAL ADDRESS
The following is the inaugural ad
dress of Reeve W D. Sanders at the
Council meeting Monday evening:
Gentlemen;
We are assembled here tonight, as
a duly constituted governing body of
the Municipality of the Village of
Exeter, for 1934, each having sub
scribed ta the oath of office, as pro
vided by law.
Having sworn, that wo will per
form the duties of the office, with
out fear or favor, and strictly in the
interest of the citizens generally.
With that object in view it behooves
us to safeguard that interest by re
fusing to allow any undue influence
to be brought to bear that would
tend to favor the few at the expense
of the many. I feel sure with your
earnest co-operation, we can accom
plish the people’s desire, and at all
times practice economy with effic
iency. In order to carry tnese prin
ciples into effect I find it necessary
to make some changes, namely, an
all round reduction of salaries which
has been a long deferred duty for
which there is a strong demand rrom
the ratepayers, to meet conditions,
brought about by the present depres
sion.
It must not be forgotten that we
are among the very few municipal
ities in Western Ontario that has
not made such reduction, and In
some cases there has been a second
reduction since 1929. I find it nec
essary also from the fact that sal
aries paid to our officials far ex
ceed the amount actually spent on
the maintenance of our roads and
sidewalks which to my mind is not
in the interest of the municipality
in general.
We must remember the number
on relief is increasing and others
on the verge. Such conditions would
not exist if there were a more even
distribution of money collected for
municipal purposes.
I also suggest that each salary
be dealt with separately, because a
per centage basis would not be just
ifiable as some salaries should be re
duced more than others. Now I wish
to have it understood I am not find
ing fault with the efficiency of our
officials they are all satisfactory,
all I find fault with is the cost to the
municipality.
I feel confident that such a re
form. with many others, will give
more work to our working men,
keep the village in a higher stan
dard of repair, and bring about a
greater degress of security and hap
piness among our people.
Now to prove that I am sincere in
my contention, I will donate my en
tire salary of $55.00 to the relief
fund of the village.
The foregoing being the most im
portant question to be considered at
this meeting. I will make further
suggestions regarding future under
takings as the occasion demand.

Jos. Senior, Clerk
WILLIAM L. HOLMAN
Mr. Geo. W. Holman has receiv
ed the sad news of the death of an
elder brother, William Lewis Hol
man, which occurred at San Fran
cisco on December 4 last. Deceased
at one time owned a very large car
building and elevator business in
that city but the earthquake of 1907
followed by fire, completely destroy
ed his business and he retired sell
ing his timber limits in Washington
and other States from which he pro
cured his timber. He leaves a fam
ily of two sons and two daughters,
his wife having predeceased him
some years. This death leases only
two of a family of twelve, Mrs. John
Owens of Chicago and Mr. George
W. Holman, of Goderich. The de
ceased was the fourth son of this
large family, whose parents, Lewis
Holman and his wife Jane Bailey
were among the earliest pioneers of
Huron, making that English set
tlement two and a half miles south
of Exeter with Devon as its centre.
The Holmans were not the only
large family having only one of a
majority over the Handfords and
there were also the Bissetts and
Balkwills who held a good reputa
tion for population. These large
families were all raised in the bush
as we say, but all inherited good
healthy bodies, got good .schooling
and made good in the world. As the
old family nest became .crowded
these boys, especially the Holmans
went West in the pre-Confedera-
ion days, following an uncle, Joseph
Holman, a brother of the father,
who had settled .on the Pacific Coast
in the U. S. in 1849 and had pros
pered. Will as indicated above made
his home in San Francisco. These
boys, in fact all the family were
playmates and chums of the Hand
fords, particularly, and Mr. James
Handford, of Exeter is the remain
ing member of the older set and the
two families numbering twenty-three
altogether have been reduced to two
in each family.
