Mon- day evening it was, decided to re- duce the width of the proposed con- crete road for Main St. from 36 ft. to 18 ft. through the business section of the town. This action on the part of the town fathers does not meet witb. the approval of the many citi- zens. An 18 ft, concrete road through the heart of the town will not add to the beauty of the place nor will it serve tlie citizens or COMMUllitY as it should. Such a road will make it appear that Exeter wanted to but couldn't and will be a monument to the folly of the eouacil of 1920, The proposition to ask the merchants facing the street to put in the ad- ditional width. under the civic im- provement act is most unreaSonable, such a eikaztice not being followed Mr. Hollingsworth, contractor foal the permanent road for Math street has two car -loads of road. maPhiaert at the depot, ready to commence the work.
