Parking close to intersections and thereby ob scuring the view of motor traf fic coming on to the Main Street, double parking and the parking of trucks, came in for consider able criticism as did the all-day parking by merchants that took up the rooms that otherwise would be available for would-be customers. A resolution is being submitt- to the council urging that i ed the whole problem of parking and der that steps be taken to relieve such matters as (1) driving in excess of the speed limit, (2) parking which obstructs clear vi sion of approaching traffic, (3) congestion at all times and that if regulations are already in ef fect covering these that imme diate enforcement be arranged. The meeting endorsed the pro posal of the municipal council to have the town’s share of the pavement on Main Street resur faced while the work is being done north and south The Department of proposes to resurface feet wide through the at an approximate cost of $500 0 will resurface the street the ex tra width through the business section exclusive of the curb. To add the curb would cost an ap proximate $8,0 0 0. The feeling of the meeting was that the whole should be resurfaced. The coun cil, through Mr. Thomas Pryde, has made arrangements to inter view the Hon. George Doucett, Minister of Highways, some day next week. Another question brought up was the raising of the status of Exeter from a village to that of a town and it was suggested that the advantages and disad vantages be ascertained. traffic control be taken un- immediate consideration and of Exeter.

Allison and John Caldwell, together with Chief J. Norry, and three citizens who remember with pleasure their visit to the city from which their forbearers came, viz: R. N. Creech, J. H. Jones and J, M. Southcott. Mr. Weeks was greeted in front of the public library where a group photograph was taken and afterwards was entertained to luncheon at Rether’s Cafe where toasts where exchanged. During the 'Conversation Mr. Weeks told of the damage done to the business section of Exe ter and also to the Exeter ca thedral during a seventy minute air raid at the time of the war. He spoke of the plans being made for the restoration of the city with improved conditions for more and wider highways for the accommodation of motor traffic. Exeter is in the heart of a rich district and before the war was one of the most flou rishing cities of England. Following the luncheon Mr, Weeks was taken on a motor trip of the town, visiting the community centre, the parks, the wartime houses, and a hurried trip through the Exeter Branch of Canadian Canners where he was interested in the canning of wax beans. A trip was also made to Crediton and out around the Centralia airport. Mr. Weeks is a past president of the Plymouth Mercantile As sociation, past chairman of the Devon and Cornwall Motor Agents’ Association, and a mem ber of Motors master Mount Lodge, most favorably impressed with what he saw and of the recep tion he received.
