Market Square Bargain Depot, MIMMINIMMINOWOO COMMUNICATIONS, The Editor does not necersatily endorse the sentiments advanced in articles under this beading. To the Editor of the Exeter MIPs. DEAR Sin, --The 'ad' in Teta Trams, giving notice that an application will he made to the Local Legislature for power to renew our Railway Debentures, no doubt, will caner a number of go-ahead ratepayera to pause and think, at leant that has been my position ; and after mcouaidoring the matter for some time, I have come to the conclusion that Exeter has been governed in the wrong direction. Have not aur cour ells of past years been attempting to do business from hand to mouth, and always made the longest nomination Speeches when they have had a large surplus, kept the taxes down, and in gen- oral spent nothing ? Why has this bean so ? Simply because the tax payers of our village have so required to have their business transacted. And we are all well aware that the qualities of a public officer is judged by the popular feeling of the public, be it right or be it wrong. Now sir, what we want is a council, and leaders in our municipal affairs who can see ahead, who can judge what is to our interest, and who will shake ofithe old ga-aa you.please business, who haye back -bane enough to study out a future for our village, such as will Brown it with prosperity ; and no matter what the feeling is locally, give the people somethiug new which is good, and educate them in the right direolien. Any man who would take this stand would be a success, and in years to come he would be thanked by the rising generations. Now the old story of the Railroad Debt was this : We have no right to pay all of it, let others who follow pay some, if we simply pay the interest that is all that should he asked of us, and of course the man that so spoke was lauded for his opiniou, and it was considered a wise act. But all this is moonshine. We have given a handsome bonus to the L. IL & B. R., but in the name of common sense do we want 20 years more to pay off this debt? Who would be one cent poorer in the Vil- lage of Exeter if the whole of this debt was paid? Echo answers, who? 'What would be our position then ? Now, if we had this debt paid off, we would all bo happy and pleased and full of enterprising spirit, instead of the old ideas " let some person else pay it," as though when the present generation died they were going to take all their wealth with them. if we had the debt paid, we would now be in a position to assist in other directions to boom the interests of the village and live up with the times, but being all our lives loaded down with a burden, we are at a loss to give the necessary assistance to live up to our neighboring villages. We should not be following other' towns, but should strike out boldly and be a shining light to others. The Township of Stephen is living in the same age as we are. There the old go -as -you -please nomination speeches were made ; good men arose and laid a plat- form betore the public, and it was appre- ciited, and the council was endorsed. add to -day they have paid off the l7,500.00 of a Railroad Debt, and considerable of their gravel road debt, and I am told in four years that township will be free of encumbrance. There is abundance of work for our Villags Fathers to do. Simply going to Council meeting and voting fn the old routine way of $1 to one and $2 to some other person for petty contracts should not be the necessary qualifications for a repre- sentative but he should be a person of good abilities, a person who would take an interest in public affairs and be able to lead, instead of being shoved along. Stan- ley found Emin Pasha by being a leader. Such a leader Is what we require here, and I trust that when the nomination day ar- rives we will hear of a platform for the future as well as what' has been done in the past, and I am ante if they are on the right track, their ideas will be endorsed, and such men will be elected, Yours respectfully, RATErerEn.
