Communication
The greatest crime ever committed
against our village was the locating
the Grand Trunk station where it is.
Against this the people protested hut
their wish was overruled.
�We believe an equally great blun-
der, If not crime against our town,
will be perpertrated if we allow the
sidewalks on our residential streets to
be placed as it is now proposed,
against the fence instead of outside
the rows of trees. And this will be
done unless the residents and proper-
ty owners along those streets protest
in earnest and protebt without delay,
And once laid, so far as the majority
of us is concerned, the walks will be
there for all time.
There is not a city or town of any
pretentions in the whole Province
where they are now being laid so lo-
cated, and many of those towns and
cities which originally so placed there
are now at greutexpense Learing them
up and making the change; while in
some places where the mistake was
wade c,f so placing them on one side
of the street, they are now putting
them outside the trees on the other.
To appreciate the difference in ap-
iteat•ance of the streets with the walks
so located as compared with streets
boulevarded and the walks outside
the rows of trees. one has only to vis-
it and compare the streets of Crediton
with those ot Hensall, London, Wood-
stock, or in fact ;my of our neighbor-
ing towns.
In Hensall, where the question of
locating the walks was under discuss-
ion, there was at first considerable
difference of opinion among the resi-
dents, and the sante arguments used
in Exeter favoring their being placed
against the fence were used in Hen.
sail, but in the end the majority fav-
oring the narrowing the broadways--
boulevarding the streets and placing
the sidewalks outside the rows of
trees prevailed, and to -day we doubt
if a number equal to a corporal's guard
could be found in the whole town
who would favor changing their to-�
cation.
When it was proposed to exclude
the cattle from pasturing on our
streets, one of the arguments used
against the pit ject was that the grass
would grow so rankly as to disfigure
them. Instead, however, there has
already been a movement towards
improving the appearance of our
streets. Marty have taken down their
fences and are cutting the gra-e in
front of their premises, even out
through the ditches. If the sidewalks
are placed outside the rows of trees -
the public being further removed front
the residences -and greater privacy
thus assured, and practically an ad-
dition made to each man's lawn of
from eight to ten feet, the induce-
ments to reprove the disfiurtng fences
and improve and trim up these fronts
would 1,e so greatly increased that we
believe our streets would undergo a
complete transformation.
But we are told the expense would
be greater. Granted -and so would
be the return. To quote from the re•
port. of the Ontario Government's
Commissioner of Highways: -
"Public streets substantially paved
"and boulevarded will in turn encour-
"age a similar treatment of the pri-
vate property adjoining them. There
"is no departure which would so in
