We wonder how much is deliberately consigned to the flames each year by persons who are not acquainted with values. In a great many homes there are treasured letters that have been in safe keeping for years. Homes are broken up and along with much of the stuff that is useless these old letters and stamps that may be worth considerable money are consigned to the flames. Rare stamps are like- rare pictures. Few people appreciate them or know their values. But there may be a little fortune tucked away in some old pigeon-hole, trunk or treasure-chest, /Save the stamps. IN MEMORIAM KEYS—In loving memory of Thos. Keys, who passed away November 29. 1929. The happy hours we once enjoyed, How sweet their memory still; But death has left a vacant place. The world can never fill. It was hard to lose you father dear, But God who knoweth best; Held wide His loving arms and said “Come unto me and rest.” Ever remembered by his Wife and Family.

Delbridge was- called to the platform. He thought the rate­ payers must be fairry well satisfied or the old trustees would not have been re-elected by acclamation, He spoke of the high scnool field day stating the Exeter scholars had won the second number of points compet­ ing with other schools in the county. W. D. Sanders Mr. W. D. Sanders, who is in the field for the Reeveship, was grate­ ful for the support given him last year without any solicitation. He was not satisfied with the conditions and believed it his duty to point out some things that could be improved. The council had been given the cre­ dit for reducing the tax rate ten mills but that they were not alone responsible for lowering the rate; that the county and the school board had equally been responsible in bringing down the rate. He com­ mended the school board on keeping up the high standard of the school. Mr. (Sanders criticised the financial statement. He stated that it was only a recapitulation from which no ratepayer could get any information Mr. Sanders stated that according to statute the council vzere authoriz­ ed to meet on the 15th day of No­ vember and prepare a detailed state­ ment which must be presented not later than the 2 4th day of Novem­ ber. He claimed the statement was not a detailed statement. He point­ ed out one or two discrepancies in the report. He claimed the pro­ ceedings were illegal and unjust to the ratepayers. Like Mr. Ward he was not in a position to understand it or discuss it intelligently. One thing which helped the coun­ cil to reduce the tax rate was the cash balance of $3891.39 carried forward at the beginning of the year It was bad business to take that much out of the ratepayers to carry over in these hard times. In 19 27, when he was Reeve, over $450'0.00 had been expended on the roads giv­ ing them a foundation that has kept them up until the present time. In reference to the cemetery Mr. 'Sand­ ers stated that it was the greatest revenue producing source in town. He criticised the council for not re­ porting the purchase of the property revealed by Mr. Rowcliffe. It should have appeared in one of the reports that the ratepayers might know what the council are doing. In reference to the wardenship Mr. Sanders stat­ ed he had served on the county coun­ cil for seven years and on one occa­ sion was within one or being elected. Mr. Francis had nothing over him. Mr. ISanders stated the council had paid‘out $3 00 during the year for relief but had made no effort of getting a grant from we government as the government pays $2 for every dollar spent by the municipality. Mr. Sanders was in favor of a system of relief. 'Children should be looked after without question. Officers should be big enougn to consider every unfortunate person particular­ ly when it does not need to cost this town one cent. Mr. Sanders stated that he had plenty of time to look after the best interest of Exeter. The speaker regretted one thing and that was that the office holders had nominated one another for of­ fice. iHe thonght it would be better to let others do it than to do it themselves. He wished to stress more however the manner in which the election was carried out last year. It was deplorable that any ratepayers would go out, not to elect Mr. Francis but to defeat him. He believed it destroyed democracy. He hoped the election would be run clean and fair and if elected, he would fight for the interest of Exe­ ter. Mr. (Senior in replying to Mr. Sanders stated that tnere had been a revision in the 1930 statutes where­ by nominations were called for Fri­ day instead of Monday. Mr. Sanders stated he would look it up. B. Mi. Francis Mr. Francis was given the oppor­ tunity to reply and he stated that Mr. Sanders’ first statement was amusing as there was not 15 c. dif­ ference in the amount paid to- the county this year than last. He thought the present council should be congratulated on being able to do ■the same road work for $15'0'01 as the 1927 council had done for $4'510-0. A great saving had been made by us­ ing county trucks anc* county gravel pits. In changing the collection of taxes from a yearly collection to twice a year the council last year were more or less in the dark. When the rate was struck the council did not know what th© requirements would be. Mr. Francis explained that all ar­ rangements had been made for the purchase of the land for the ceme­ tery but that the deal had not been Completed and consequently had not been reported, When asked the num­ ber of acres and the amount paid Mr. Francis stated that 25 acres had been purchased at a price of $625. • * Md Francis regretted the impres­ sion that if the council would spend $100 for relief the government would give the town $200. He explained that the government paid two thirds of the actual amount spent provided 50 per cent, of the money was spent for food supplies. Out of the $(300 spent in Exeter last year the govern­ ment grant would have been $2'0(0, EXETER COUNCIL Monday, November 20, 19133 A regular meeting of the Municip­ al Council was held in the Town Hall.
