Exeter Public Utilities Commission Water Consumers Please be advised that restrictions for watering of lawns and gardens have been canceled. The Commission wishes to thank the customers for their co-operation. Exeter Public Utilities Commission S.R. Roth, General Manager oto Parking problems "Some of the people who live or work or both in the town, show a distinct lack of concern for other people..." Dear Editor: I've said before, that I like and am proud of. our little town. But as usual, someone or something has to spoil it (apart from the town clock. which is now right only twice per day, thank God for the PUC). The peeve 1 have, is that of vehicular parking. Some of thc people who live or work or both in the town, show a distinct lack of concern for other people and are obviously in the 'I'm the only one that counts brigade'. To give some cases, there arc those who park in Anne Si (two hour parking limit) while they work in the hospital. 1 thought these spaces were for pa- tients making short visits. Thcn there are those who park on Main St. outside the parking areas. where there is a yellow painted curb. These arc at a side street and there for a purpose. And then there are the thoughtless characters who park right ovef No Parking signs painted on the road in food store park- ing lots. One particular person. always parks about six feet from the door of a food store right over a No Parking sign. creating a hazard for slower moving older people and other vehicles. One day there will be an accident here. I presume the driver spends so much energy keeping fit. she doesn't have enough left to walk a few more feet in the parking lot. I am thinking about buying a tow truck and doing a George Nash, in order to dissuade the selfish char- acters from creating unnecessary hazards in our town. Yours sincerely.
