I will give you a brief outline of some of the work which was accomplished
past year.
The big venture of the year was the William Street Drain, a 24-inch trunk
running from John Street to the river, a total of over dfJjOO feet, a drain which
take care of future needs for both storm and sanitary sewer., and one that can
line
will
be added to at any time.
The Village of Exeter can now boast of a Public Rest Room, something that
was greatly needed; also, a room was added to out Town Hall for our Town Police.
The room, although it does not add any beauty to our ToWn Hall, does give our
police a headquarters—something they did not have in the past
A new auxiliary unit or trailer was added to our Eire Department Equip
ment with hose, ladders, chemicals, etc., which gives added protection to the tax
payer and bis property.
Approximately 3,000 feet of sidewalks were laid and close to 5,000 yards
of gravel were put on the streets—^something that Was desperately needed.
We hope that our Garbage Collection was carried out satisfactorily to the
ratepayers.
A good number of cellar drains were put into working order, and many
other items of importance were carried out.
Work Planned for the Comihg Year
We propose laying* tile in Ann Street Drain from Carling to Marlboro to
carry off the dry weather flow, approximately 2,000 feet of other drains to relieve
the water pressure on the property-owners’ cellars. I have a number of other items
in mind which will be beneficial to the community, if it be your wish that I remain
as Reeve.
I, as Reeve, have served you for the past 365 days. Your support on Mon
day, January 2, will be greatly appreciated.
Thanking my mover and seconder, I wish you the Compliments of the
Season!
