Unfortunately aux town is very much scattered and for this reason our councillors should show some leniency, and not be too exacting. A little friendly criticism of our town fathers may be accepted. We think if the people of Exeter had wha. t hey want and what they have been asking for several years they would have a .paved main street, and we think or as a.matter of fact, know at a lower annual cast perpetually. Then this question of using sidewalks would not be asked but until then the cyciIists have a right to some .con- sideration with other citizens. TIvanking you for your valuable space. A Citizen.
