has been an open question in Exeter
for years, but has never boon thor-

\lr. (Badman spoke about the act
that was passed in 1898 giving ex-
emptions to farm lands, and while
be agreed with .one of the forme;
sp •eskers as to his Henry George ideas
still he did not think that because
haif a dozen or so individuals are

the way of us securin, better fire

ed and nearly half the taxes are
paid by the business section. Not

protection, and if we get that wo can
lower our rksks and feel more secure
than we do now, when a fire would
create a lot of damage in a short
time before 'steam in the engine could
be gotten up.
Mr. R. E. Pickard thought the
amount asked for would be over
reached; that the system would cost
:more than ithe estimate and that 'The
cost of operating the plant would be

before the rate payers. Everything
had been taken into consideration
and had 4tcen riven careful thought
and intended forthe best of the cor-
poration.
!Mr. l.. (lardy next took the plat-
form and while he did not state as to
whether he was oppos.•d or for the
by-law, left the impression that he is
on elle opposition vide. ile. however
would be in favor of it, if the special
acct passed in 1898 were repealed.
This act made a fixed rate on all
farm property in elle corporation of
blocks of twenty acres or more at
3 1-2 mills for the payment of county
and school rates. The properties are
exempt from paying local improve-
ment taxes. however the owners of
thus.) lends do not have votes on by
laws o; this character, tt•xcept they
own other property assessed the re -

considering, and as lloward's proper-

From the lone of the meeting one
would be convinced that the r;r. •iter

in favor of the passing of the by-law.
It rcquirss only a majority o votes

should have enough pride in our town
to vote for it.
