Closing of the plant for the 1958 ;season has had a derogative effect on the town and the dist- rict as a whole. This area is a proven ground for the successful production of canning crops and it, seems too had to allow the facilities here to stand unused:" ' "We have been asked to draw to your attention the fact that, in order to guarantee your fac- tory an unlimited supply of water; a dam was built on the Ausable river, one mile east of town, at a cost of $192,000. The town of Exeter paid the largest share of this cost and has first call on the water, thus guaran- teeing an. almost unlimited sup- ply. This expenditure would not have been made if the council had not been given to under- stand that the present factory would be enlarged if a sufficient supply of water was provided, "Town council believes that canning activities can not only be eont:inued but increased here to the benefit of your company and the •district as a whole. Council would appretiate being advised of your intentions in the natter, as soon as possible, so that .future municipal plans may be laid."
