DEAR SIR:—It is admitted on all sides that the cemetery property is - not in a state creditable to the com- munity. It is also generally agreed. by those who have interested them- selves in the matter, that the plan of improvement which the directors have. outlined, and desire to carry into ef- fect, is the proper plan to pursee, that no undue or hap -hazard expenditure is contemplated, and that every detail of the plan is necessary to place the property in suitable condition. There is, however, a difference of opinion as to the course which should be pursued in securing funds. A few claim that the owners of lots should: first be appealed, to. Others—and they are not a few—believe that the Coun- cil should have the honor of leading, the way in this important matter. Now, sir, as 1 runresponsible for pro -s posing at the public meeting that the Exeter Council should be asked for a grant of $100,and as T aided in circula- ting a petition requesting such grant,/ desire to give some reasons for my ac- tion in the case. (1) I believe that the board of di- rectors is a capable board and worthy of public confidence. The directors re- ceive no remuneration, nor are' they - looking for any. Their efforts shoulei not meet with opposition or indiffer- ence, but with hearty co-operation. (2) The directors believed, and 1 think with good reason, that an indi- viclnal appeal to lot owners would be much more successful, if some assur- ance could be given them that exten- sive improvements would be made. A grant from the municipalities interest- ed would enable the board to give suclai assurance. (3) The other municipalities natur- - ally expect Exeter to take the initia- tive. This is clearly shown by the ac- tion of the Usborne Council. (4) Some work ought at once to be - done on the ground recently added to, to the cemetery. Considerable time must elapse before lot owners could be heard. from and money secured. A grant from the municipalities would at once set the work in motion. Lots in the new part will undoubtedly sell more readily, and at higher figures, when the grounds are properly laid out and beautified. To these considerations I may add that the largely signed petition guar- antees the Council public support in making the grant requested. The at- tention of the community is now - rected to this question as never before. There is no time so good for action as the present. I hope that the Council of 1000 will further consider this mat- ter and not let their opportunity pass to aid in doing that which is at once a sacred and a public duty. I think, sir, that I may claim to be both a disinterested and an interested petty in the case. Thanking you for space in your val- uable columns. I remain, yours truly, C. W. Bnower. Exeter, Oct. 15, 1900. BREACH OFPROINIISE. At the Stratford Assizes on Thurs- day, before Chief Justice Falcon bridge, the suit of Steinacker vs. Ort was tried The plaintiff, Miss Mary Steinacker, of Fullarton, brings action against the defendant, Mr. John Ort, of Blen- heim, for breach of promise of marri- age. Defendant is alleged to have pro-' posed marriage to plaintiff in the fall of 1898, when she was working for her aunt in Blenbehn, Plaintiff says that the understanding was that they were to be married in the spring if a suitable, farm could be got. Miss Steinbacher ' went back to her home in Fullerton. and considerable correspondence pas- sedebetween the two lovers, extracts from which were read aloud in court. In these defendant, is alleged. to ha,ve • stated that a farm could not be got. In the spring of the next year plaintiff' went beck to Blenheim, but defend- ant's love had grown cold, and he be- came engaged to another young lady whom he married. last January. For this alleged breach of promise of mar -- rage Miss Steinbacher asks damages. The plaintiff's evidence was very clear and precise. She promised to marry Orton being asked the second time. No date for the weddinghad been set, nor did Ortgive her a ring. Defend- ant, in the witness stand, swore that he bad never promised to marry the - girl, but the jury accepted her story, and responded to Mr. Mabee's requesb for $2,000 damages by awarding her $1,200. A motion was made to stay proceeclinge, but was refused, atel judgment was entered for $1,200 and costs.
