The total amount of taxes collected was $26,513.65. This, does not include $116.00 for dog tax and $474.70 for street wa- tering. Taxes were paid at the Cana- dian Bank of Commerce and the big rush came on the last day when $6,125.19 were paid. On Monday December 13th, the bank received $3,•224.30. The paying of municipal taxes is more or less a drain on the bank account of those who are for- tunate, or unfortunate enough to own property. The taxpayers of Exe- ter, however, are to be congratula- ted on the low tax rate of the town. Considering the assessment, the rate of 36 mills is not high in compari- son with the tax rate of other mu- nicipalities. The Times has gone o OF OVERHALLS, UNDERWEAR day he received 60 dozer. from 30 customers. On Friday he took in 90 dozen from 36 customers and on Saturday 110 dozen front 49 ens- ' toniers. The quantities taken in ranged from 3 eggs, for which the party received 25 cents, all the way to 19 dozen, this last lot being brought in by Mr. Jaynes Brooks, of Usborne. Mr. Brooks is getting about 30 eggs a day from his hens. Of the large. number of eggs bought only 18 did not pass the negrlaid eggs test. AUTOMOBILE HOCKEY SKATES.
