NOTE AND COMMENT
Municipal affairs in Exeter with
special reference to the approaching
election ate characterized by their
usual funereal silence. Only low rum-
blings of coming disturbance are
heard, which would indicate that
there is to be something doing. While
the present council cannot be said to
have overstepped the mark very much,
still therm are some points on which
the ratepayers generally do not agree
with them. One of there is the con-
trol of the cemetery. At present it is
under the management of a committee
consisting of council members and
other citizens appointed by the coon-
cll. Many voters believe the council
alone should look after the cemetery.
Considerable looney is spent there
each year, and a particularly large
amount this year, and tunny argue
that no committee of appointed citi-
zens should have the spending of the
money for any purpose. We are not
in a position to say whether the com-
mittee has wade any (inadvisable ex-
penditure, but on general principle it
seems that cemetery expenses come
under the head of ordinary expendi-
ture of the town and should be dealt
with wholly by the council. We be-
lieve the Ulan seeking aldermsnic hon-
ors and willing to approach the elec-
tors on that ticket, other things being
equal, would he certain of election
It is current talk that some of the pre-
sent members of the council will not
again stand. Provided such is the
case there are many other good men
and there should he uo difficulty in se-
curing plenty of material. Now is the
time to get busy and pick out the men.
It is a wrong idea to leave it to nom-
ination day when some people get
afficted with a wish to get into office
and their fitness is net taken into con-
sideration by themselves or others,
with the result often that they land in
the council and the town suffers in
consequence. The Advocate believes
in getting municipal matters stirred
up early and giving the good candi-
dates a chance. Let the office seek
the man and not the man the office.
