RATEPAYERS VOTE TO
ERECT NEW BUILDING
The ratepayers ot Exeter have
voiced their approval of tne erection
ot a municipal ouiiunig to pe used
as a skating rinx anu recreational
centre, in a keenly contested vote
on Tuesday the majority was 8 6 in
favor ot sucii a project. The ques
tion of the erection ui such a bund
ing; has been tn the minds of some
of the citizens tor some time and at
a recent public meeting a committee
was lormed to secure plans and es
timates. It was proposed to erect
a ouiiding tne front part of which
could be used, as a gymnasium and
recreational centre particularly in
connection with the Exeter H. S. and
the back part to bo used as a skat
ing rink. Alter securing plans, ex
pert advice and estimates the com-
mit^^'were assured that such a
htBUing could be erected for ten
thousand dollars. When the matter
came before the municipal council it
was decided to submit the question
to the ratepayers in the form of a
plebiscite. The question on the
ballott paper Tuesday was “Are you
in favor of the erection of a com
munity building in Exeter at a cost
not exceeding ten thousand dollars.”
There has been considerable dis
cussion of the question on the streets
and there was opposition to the pro
ject for various reasons, such as the
cost, the location and running it as
a municipal enterprise. The vote was
confined to the ratepayers and

LOYAL RESPONSE
APPRECIATED
The supporters of the plebiscite
wish to express their appreciation
for the fine support that was given
the vote on Tuesday. If there is
any special mention to be made it
goes to the lady voters, and the
non-resident voters who turned out
so loyally. In the last hours of the
storm voters were noticed who had
motored in some ten miles to sup
port, the plebiscite.
The issue nevei’ was in doubt but
the grand majority of 86 was 25
more than the objective of 60 set at
the start of the campaign which still
proves the old truth that when
right question comes up at
right time the people of Exeter
be relied on.—’Contributed.

Tell the facts. Trust the people.
Exeter has been very seldom dissap-
pointed when a question has been
submitted to the-people for their de
cision by ballot. Give them the
facts and their good common sense
can always be trusted. The citi
zens committee feel thankful that
they were able to obtain the facts
so readily, that the good editor gave
them publicity, and that the good
sense of the people gave a fine ma
jority to the question of the propos
ed community building. Now the
council can proceed with the matter,
and we trust that the citizens will
remain behind the project so as to
make it a real success. We have one
of the best towns in the province,
but we cannot stand still. We
either go forward or backward. Let
us all see that our influence is to
ward progress.—Contributed.
