With Clet-k Joseph Senior voted to
the chair the meeting was called to
order, the chairman desit'ing the speak-
ers to deal entirely with municipal
politics.
Reeve Bobier was pleased to see the
large number present (the hall being
crowded.) It showed they had the in-
terest of the town at heart. He re-
viewed the work of the council, the
money had been well spent and the
rate was only 10 mills, while the surp-
lus was $5S5.5, less the county tate.
The town had prospered -witness the
station, canning factory and evapora-
tor. He reviewed the agreement be-
tween the town and Gibbs Co. and
thought the by-law to supply a free
site should be passed. Ile touched on
the cow question and explained the
Dominion law with regard to cattle
running at large. He was in the field
and to win.

New G. T. R. Station Opened
Station Master J. J. Knight with his
staff and e(1uipntent got moved into
the new (:.'I.11. station un Monday of
last week, and to say that the building
and furnishings are a credit to the
town and company is to draw it mild-
ly. The new station is as much a cred-
it as the old one was a disgrace and ful-
fils the statement of Snpetintendant
1'. E. Gillen, who said that they would
build a station the town would be
proud of. however as the genial
agent says: "Those things cannot be
accomplished in a day."
As we have before stated 0 C new
building is situate on the east side of
the track, about fifty yards south of
the old one, and is purely a passenger
station, while the old one, enlarged by
a wide platform to the soot h,t•efloored.

to k. The
watering cart which Cost $280 could
have been bought for $125. He
thou ht the cows should run and be
cared for by herding or some other
means. Ile had helped the town by
putting his own money into the found-
ry, grist mill and salt well. The road
commissioner, he thought, should not
be concerned in constable or bailiff
work so that he could supervise the
work of the men. The evaporator is a
good thing but no other town paid for
such an industry. He was in the field.
T. B. Carling thought the people
were pleased with the old council. Ile
thought the watering of station street
was unnecessary. A lot of money ha
been spent, but the town was progres
inp. Fine residences and good indu
tries had been erected and the C.P.I
would lee a big benefit. Not a cand
date.
The school trustees were next cone
upon. Mr. Fi•ayne said that (ilrin
his 111 years as trustee he had no
missed a meeting and had done h
best. Ile was in the field for re-ele
tion. The school was the best for cot
tinuation work in the province an
compared favorably with the big
sehools. Much credit was (lite th
teachers. but the trustees deserved
little. He was prond of the boys am
girls who had gone out frotn Exeter.
R. E. Davis had nothing against th
old board but said there were othe
men just as good. He was in the run
ningand solicited 1hereitepayers' votes
F. 1V. Madman said his friends Iia(
pressed hire to stand when Mr. ('ar
ing had declined to run again. Th
school had et good reputation and h
would try to uphold it if elected.
11. E. fltlston, an old trustee, was
proud of the school. We had a school
where the poor loan's Troy could be
educated. By co-operation the con-
tinuation school trustees had secured
larger grants during his terms -from
$35 to about $80II. A number of ques-
tions were put to him and answered.
The new aspirants for the Council
were next called on followed by the
old council. 1V. G. Bissett in figuring
out the statement found n deficit of
$700 instead of a serpins. He was not
:afraid of being beaten but declined to
run because of health. He criticized
the street watering and the watering
cart as being to high priced. Ile and
Nr. Samuel Martin had a controversy
with regard to the payment of stock
n the canning factory.
W. 11. iA'vett was a candidate. No
atilt to find but thought too much had
men paid for labor. Ile thought a
block of sewer should be put in each
year and that crushed stone should be
ut on the road instead of gravel. if
lected he would go in for making Ex -
ter a town, and he hoped the C.P.R.
would he dealt with on business prin-
ipies.
J. J. Knight said the watering of
tatinn street had been criticized but
he street watering had cost less than
apt year. if he had his way other
treets would be watered. ile had not
rasped after the office but was pleased
have been elected last year and was
train in the field
A. E. Fuke thought the work had
en so good that election by acclntna-
