out of bed early Monday morning
and fractured a rib and was other

at the Exeter station this week for
Western relief and on Wednesday it
was sent to Milo, Alta. A large pro
portion of the foodstuffs sent com
prised potatoes and turnips with a
nice lot of beans, apples, and honey.
Other farm and garden vegetables

maple syrup, canned goods, jars of
pickles and preserves, flour and salt
were stored away in the car, Many
of the farmers have contributed
quite liberally. C o n t r i butions
amounting to $49.50 were spent in

expressing her thanks and deep ap
preciation. Mr, F. W. Gladman,
who has been associated with Mr.
Stanbury for many years, spoke of
the latter’s interest in all things
pertaining to the welfare of the
community. It was not an easy
thing to leave the community in
which one has been associated for
so many years and had made so
many friends and to go to a new

ferred upon Mr. Stanbury necessi
tated such a change and the best

the
hall was practically filled, with the
supporters of the by-law slightly in
the majority,
Mr. F. w. Gladman outlined the
steps leading up to the vote on the
by-law and exhibited numerous co
pies cf the Times-Advocate showing
the publicity that had been given in
connection therewith. He had
ures to shew that the number
people voting on the by-law for
municipal building was exactly
same as the number voting on
recent waterworks by-law.
Ex-Reeve W. D. Sanders spoke in
opposition. He said that the town
was not in a financial position to un
dertake the erection of the building.
In 1934 Exeter had spent $5 00 on
relief and in 1935 it had spent $1,-
016.163. The retired farmer and the
laborer comprised 80 per cent, of
the population and the business men I
20 per cent. Persons other than
property owners had voted on the
by-law. Mr. Sanders claimed that
an article which had appeared in the
Times-Advocate was filled with false
hoods and uncertainties from begin
ning to end. Retired farmers who
had left their farms a few years ago
and were depending on the farms
for their income found their income 1
considerably reduced and were in a]
deplorable condition. If taxation
were increased they would have to
leave, town. If the vote were taken ■
again' the result would be different. ■
Asked by the chairman how many ;
had voted that were not entitled to 1
note, Mr. Sanders said he knew of
wo and on being asked to name < Qhapt 233, .Section**65 and Sub-Sec.

bifegest tax payers in the town. _ | by Councillors Morley and Hern.
A standing vote was taken
thj)se in favor and those opposed to
the new building and the majority
were in favor of the building.
Rev. j W. Down stated that the
fair board; that those wishing a
school gymnasium and those wishing
a. skating rink were rallying their
forces for the new building but that
it was not in the interests of the re
tired, farmer and those on small in
comes to have the building erected
and that in his opinion it was being
railroaded through. Reeve Pryde
objected to the term “railroaded
through” and Mr. Down retracted
the words. Mr. Down felt that the
fair thing to do was to take another
vote of the people.
Mr. S. M. Sanders voiced his op
position stating that others than the
members of the council were pushing
for the new building. He advocated
another vote of the people.
The commission stated that the
main question was whether if an
other vote of the ratepayers was
taken would the result be different.
The commission then asked if any
ratepayer who had voted for ttee by
law now wished to change his vote
and no voter responded.
Reeve Pryde in conclusion outlin
ed the steps taken by the council
that the council were not trying to
dictate in the matter but as servants
of the people desired to carry out the
wishes of the majority.
Mr. Rose stated that he had no
doubt that the whole matter had
been thoroughly discussed through-,
out the village. That no matter what
irregularities may have existed when
the vote was taken on April 7th it
was for the Board to consider
whether any different result would
obtain if a second vote were taken
and by so deciding avoid the expense
of another election. As it was nec
essary to have the unanimous opin
ion of the three members of the
Board a decision was reserved.
