Buy Locally
When you are approached by a strange salesman to*
buy Accident and Sickness Insurance, remember these
rules:
1— Ask to see his agent’s license which the
law requires him to carry.
2— Don’t be in a big hurry. Ask the agent
to leave TWO applications. When you
get the policy check it with your ap
plication.
3— Find out what the policy DOESN’T
cover.
These suggestions were made by the Ontario registrar
of insurance agents and brokers, Mr. Fred Spencer.

ly in those days and laid down
a code of living not only for the
resident but for their animals as
well.
Written in the sure, flourish
ing penmanship of years ago, a
dusty old book records the muni
cipal legislation from the time
of the incorporation of the vil
lage.
On the 28 th day of April,
1873, the first by-law was passed
in the village of Exeter under
the direction of first reeve, Isaac
Carling. The law stated that no
horse, bull, ox, sheep, goat, pig
or goose would be allowed to
run at large on any public road
or way within the village.
In the same year, the sale of
spirits became licensed and an
inspector of taverns was appoint
ed, the first tax was collected
from dog owners, and a public
school house was built in the
village, a slaughter house was
authorized and a by-law was
passed “to prevent drunkenness,
profane swearing, obscene, blas
phemous or grossly insulting
language in the village”.
Two years later, the village
fathers, realizing the need for a
clear cut code of living for the,
residents, brought out a by-law
which gave the people a pretty
good idea of how they were ex
pected to live, “to make provi
sion for the prevention of nuis
ances and immoralities within
the village of Exeter”.
Among the articles of this
law was one which stated, “it
shall not be lawful for any per
son whatsoever to play marbles,
quarts, cricket, ball, skitters,
racket or any other noisy game,
to run races on foot or horse
back, carriages or vehicles of
any kind on the Sabbath”.
Then followed 14 articles to
govern the conduct of villagers
during the week. “Bathing or in
decent exposure in any waters
running near a public highway”
was permitted only before and
aftex- the hours of 6 a.xn. and 8
p.nx. respectively and leading of
horses and cows on the sidewalk
was prohibited.
By 187 6 it was “expedient and
necessary to enact general laws
and regulations for the Govern
ment of the Village of Exeter,
and axx extra hour was given iix
the morning for bathing with
regards to the previously men
tioned law.
Ixi ten years time it was again
necessary to bring the citizens of
Exeter into line and a law was
passed “to prevent; crowding the
streets and immoderate driving”.
Tlxe by-law stated: “It shall not
be lawful for people ox* persons
to gather in crowds on any side
walk or any street, lane or by
way iix the said village of Ex
eter so as to obstruct travel
thereon.”
The law went oxx to say that

Ixx 1877, Mr. John Gill was
appointed constable at a salary
of $50 per year. One of his
duties was to collect poll tax
from which he received eight
percent of the total. Four years
late, the salary
reached $60.

The constable was James Creech
and ixx 18S7, he was also made
axx officer to measure wood and
to judge as to whetlxei’ the wood
was properly piled for measure
ment.
The first by-law showed the
problem in the village of vag
rant animals. The fifth by-law of
the village stated “Be it there

premises occupied by Mr. John

In 1881, the pound was estab

Michael Eacrete, village clerk,

which gave the keepei’ many new
