VOTE FOR THE BY-LAWS.
Exeter ratepayers have before them
two by-laws having, reference to road
improvement. The vote is to be tak-
en on! the 20th of August.
One by-la,w is to raise 520,000 by 15 -
year debentures ;to pray Lor the balance
of Main Stfeet pavemenit4. That is,
the origianal, estirhate is too low, and
20 0 .e is awork 0( more needed. The� rk
$ m n ed, 5
nearly completed, the business portion'
being opened for traffic on Saturday
last,
The other bylaaw is to. raise 58000
to .pave. Wellington Street from Main
Street tc' the G. T;. R. propertyt The
sum of 512,000 is festinated as the cost
of this piece of ,roed, and the council
has been assured that 54000 will he
raised by subscreptlon, so that all the
r eople are asked to pay :for is two-
thirds of the cost, 558000.
Road .buildinto is costly, biet it is
necessary and after seeing the fine
stretch ,of pavement on Main Street
few people will say that it is not
worth tare money. The Main Street
pavement is practically finished and
must be paid for. The council is ask-
ing you. if you Gane in favor of a by-
law to spread the payment over 15
years If we diol Mot favor this by-law
we may have to :ray the whole all of
in one year. It wouldbe well to be
wise and spread it over the suggest-
ed fifteen years, Let everyone vote
for the $20,000 by-law,:
Regarding to 58000 bylaw for Wel-
ton Street, those who are anxious
for its passing. should get busy on the
subscription last and raise, the 54000
aaromised. This money or its equiv-
alent actually 'raised would be a strong
incentive to the ,ratepayers to vote
favorable to this by-law. Welli(ngtan
Street :navemesat is needed, This is
recognized by all who use it. During
the. last few years every effort by the
old methods has been made to keep it
in reaair, and yet at times it was; im-
possible The principal and Interest at
$8000 .spread over fifteen years, would
we feel surae, be a lesser oast than
the old way, and in the one case we
would have a /road, and in. the other
we have nothing. Vote for the Wel-
lington Street bylaw, too.
In voting on these bylaws da not be
confused, nor should you allow . your
objection :to one to influence you to
vote against the other.
It is ,good bu'sixaesa for Exeter to
pass both by-laws. Vote favorable to
both

A JAUNT THROUGH HURON.
Quite a number iron here attend-
ed the traces at Brussels on Wed-
•
xse sda '
) afternoon; of last week, • It is
a refreshing and pleasing sight In
many ways to motor through the
nlortherr, part oif the county of Hu-
ron at this period of the year. Win
have heard a great deal about the
fields of beautiful 'waving graaat in the
West, but they can be mo more beau-
tiful than those throughout the length
and breadth oaf this old county in
which we live. The writer was par-
ticularly struck wvath the advainced
improvement in ahe way of beautiful
homes, barns and other buildings Of
farm equipment north of us, and
many tfarmelrs are to be congratulated
upon their enterprise, taste and theif.t.
There e
he a 's , ]atow ver, one very deplor-
able condition. of farming that mars
the scene acs you speed along ache
highway in ytour automobile this
side of Seeforth, and from that on
to near Brussels. We refer to that
nvxioue weed caged the sow thistle,
which is go, common. in the West, and
which we have seen so. little at in
the southern. ,part of the county.. In
the tfew yeas sinice it was_aiiorticed
in this country it .has, spread '''lith
wonderful rapidity and in many cas-
es meth it would seem the weed has
gained such a foot hold that it is new
getting beyond control. It blossoms
out in a bright yellow flower, carries
a very large amount of seed paid
when the land becomes rear es,ted
chokes out everything that grows be-
side. it. Ini the West they are fighting
this ,enemy of the land with a veng-
eance, and we would warn our farmers
to keep a close wwpltcb for this dans
gerous weed end pluck ,it when aver
noticed. Once it gets a start it ars
rein. bard to eradicate.
