CONTEST FOR REEVESHIP
(Continued from page One)
first speaker was the reeve, W. D,
Sanders. Air. Sanders said that dur
ing his term of office he had put
forth every effort to look after the
town’s interests. He had plenty of
time and had made it his'Dole busi
ness. There is not a day passes that
he is not called upon to do some
business for the town. He thanked
the citizens for past favours show
ing that they appreciated his humble
services. The financial report of
this year shows a substantial balance
■which is a good thing as we cannot
estimate the demands of the future.
He felt the town could provide for
the debenture of the school without
raising the taxes to any appreciable
amount. He said the office of reeve
ship is not a boy’s job, it is exper
ience that counts. He has
ambition for the wardenship
on County. Last year when
it -would be his last he did
that he would have any chance for]
the wardenship. But things have,
changed. He objected to high pres
sure canvassing of going from door,
to door. It is an insult to the intel-1
ligenqe of a voter to buttonhole him
and tell him how to vote. He said
there was a penalty of $200 and a
disfranchisement for two years for
anyone found guilty of tampering
•with the franchise.
Referring to the financial report,
i Mr. Sanders stated that $4,499.00
had been collected this year in back
taxes, and he gave a list of receipts
with a total of $43,669.59. In the
disbursements foi’ the year the larg
er amounts were as follows: Salar
ies and allowances $3,091,77; Roads
and Bridges $2,559.65; Street Light
ing $2,736.85; Board of Education
$9,117.44; Debentures $4,985.21;
Hydrant Rental $1,049.69; County
Rate $2,876.40; Relief $550.57;
Total $38,045.50. Balance at Decem
ber 15th, $5,624.09. The net sur
plus for the end of the year would
be in the neighborhood of $2,000.
Mr. Sanders also reviewed the fin
ancial standing of the County of
Huron, stating that by the end of
1940 the County should be free of
debt, the first time in its history. He
paid splendid tribute to the manage
ment of the Huron County I-Iome,
the committee this year having pur
chased a thoroughbred team of hors
es and had started the foundation
for a pure-bred herd of cattle. He
asked for the support of the rate
payers to return him again

Mr. Abbott said that during the

nothing better than our own town.
Mr. Abbott took some time to out
line the search for a good supply
of pure drinking water in Exeter.
After the commission had sunk
numerous dry holes in the commun
ity in search of water, Mr. Abbott
has assisted them materially in lo
cating a supply on this property
at considerable expense to himself,

To the Ratepayers of Exeter
Ladies and Gentlemen;
I am again appealing to you for
your support to elect me as your
Reeve for 1940. I have served you
for nine years faithfully and to the
best of my ability, ready and willing
at all times to do my duty in all
branches of the work, the duties be
ing numerous involved in the office,
and as I have no other business I
am in a position to give my full time
to the best interest of the town. I
would especially ask your support
for the purpose of giving me an op
portunity of contesting the warden
ship, and if I am successful I will
prize it very highly, and will cherish
the goodwill of my many friends in
Exeter, through my remaining years.
I will not be in a position to call on
you all but will trust you.

The council have legislated to the

it is low and withn reach of all. The

and at the same time keeping the
taxes as low as possible. At the
nomination a year ago Mr. Sanders
said definitely that it would be the
last year he would seek the office
of reeve and we stepped aside. As
a member of the council last year
we’ have endeavored to have the
arrears of taxes cleaned up because
we felt that allowing taxes to ac
cumulate was being a false friend
to the taxpayer. We stand for good
business administration on sound
principles. We are out to boost
our town, boost industry and stim

Exeter needs live and progressive
young men to maintain the high
standard we now enjoy. If you think
I can fill the bill I humbly solicit
