FRIDAY Y IS VOTING 1)itY
The rate -payers of Exeter will
have the privilege of voting on two
municipal by-laws on Friday of this
week.
One by-law is to raise $20,000.00
her debentures extending over fifteen
years to meet the difference between
the estimate and the acual cost of
putting down the Main street pay
ment. T.he original estimate was toe,
low, The work has been completed,
and it is now up to the citizens W
give the council the necessary au.-
thority to raise the .additional a-
mount of money by debenture to
meet the actual expenses of the work
If the by-law is not carried it may
be necessary for.the couneil to raise
the necessary amount by taxation,
in one year.
The other by-law is to raise $8001
to put down a cement road on'Wel-
lington street leading from Main
street to the station. A lot of trafee,
passes over this road each year and
there has been a lot of talk for yeare
about putting down a .cement road,°
It is estimated that the present
_.. _rr ..»..
'anal to eo the.
work while the contractor has his°
machinery and equipment on the
spot. After this is once removed; it
will cost eonzidcrawly ;more to bring
in similiar machinery for the work..
The council proposes that the town!
raise $8,000 by debenture provid-
ing the neighboring rnunicipa]itiee
who derive much benefit from this
road and private concerns, will raise
the other $4,000 necessary to corme
plete the work. As yet there has been
little done to raise the four thousand
dollars by private subscription but
we have been informed that an ef-
fort will be made immediately after
the citizens pass the by-law.
Turn out and exercise your franc
chise on. Friday.
