Mr Elston claims that there is no
high school in the county that has
the record of the Exeter H. S. which
is a credit to the staff. A large
ercentage of the pupils come from
the surrounding' townships. Last
year the county' paid into the 11. S.
over $8,200 for'tuition. In 1921
the school rate in Exeter was 17
mills, in 1922 16 mills, in 1923 14

,senior did not think it
citizens to ask them to
question without it first
','been placed before the
�'.` Mr. Sanders stated that the
tg> had not been.previously in-
'ied as to the candidates who
be in the field. The informa-
'ron, would appear in the press and
trer�one would know about it. Mr.
Hawkins thought the question should
be properly advertised. Ile said
that anyone elected as councillor
should have backbone enough to
enforce any question for the moral
benefit of the town. u .
Ex -warden B. W. F. Beaveee was
asked to give' his opinion. He said
if' he were reeve he would try to
carry out the wish of the people.
He was in favor of having the ques-
tion submitted to the people that
the incoming council may have
some guidance.
Clerk Senior found himself in a
difficult position, At the last meet-
ing the council had decided against
submitting such a question to the
ratepayers on the ground that there
was not sufficient time to advertise.
Was it legal without the sanction of
the council. W. D. Sanders said it
was; that he had consulted two law-
yers and that a questoin that was
not binding could be submitted at
any time. Mr. W. G. Medd thought
the proper way was to petition the
•council.
Auditor Geo. Mawson said that it
seemed to be the wish of those pre-
sent that the question be submitted.
He thought this was as strong as
any petition.'He was in favor of
the question being submitted. Mr.
Hooper said the reason he had ob-
jected to the vote being taken was
because the people were not prepar-
ed for' it. `There were people in town
who knew nothing about the pool
room. There should'be time to ad-
vertise it an discuss the pros and
cons.
' W. D. Sanders
At the :conclusion of the meeting
Mr. Sanders was given a few min-
utes to reply to the other speakers.
He referred to Mr. Hooper's state-
ment that the town owned part of
the ditch and read from the ditches
and watercourses Act that the own-
er of a ditch is the owner of the
property' through which the ditch
runs. ' He spoke of the odor and
stated that it was illegal for anyone
to drain anything that was injurious
to health into an open ditch. The
ditch runs through three municipal-
ities. 'Usborne has a say whether
we are blocking the water and
Stephen what we put into it. As
far as Mr.'Snell's property is con-
cerned every property that is built
up becomes 'a revenue producing in-
stitution to the town. In conclu-
sion he_said that Exeter has three
men 'before them for Reeve; one
who has given away the people's
money, another who has received it
and a third' who has fought hard to
save it.,
When Mr.' Sanders had finished
the chairman `asked all who were
not ratepayers • in Exeter to leave the
room while the vote was taken as
to whether the question of the pool
room should be submitted to the
people and the vote was practically
unanimous in favor of doing so.

A Happy New Year to all
TO THE RATEPAYERS OF THE
VILLAGE OF, EXETER
Ladies and Gentlemen:
The principals upon which I am
soliciting your support are
Faithful and honest service, strict
obedience to the will of the people,
just and legal expenditure of pub'-
lic funds, taking careful into con-
sideration the time limit of the
earning power of our citizens, with
a view to holding them as citizens
of our town and to encourage oth-
ers to become citizens, which can
only be done by keeping the taxes
to a reasonable amount, and at the
same time maintain • the present
standard of improvements.
Wishing you all, a very happy.
and prosperous New Year.
1 am Yours Sincerely
W. D. SANDERS
Candidia°te fol. Reeve for 1926
Mr. Delbridge stated that he had
heard that Mr. Fuke was not going
to stand' again for the Board of Ed-
ucation. He had been asked on dif-
ferent occasions to stand and this.
year -he had consented and had filed
this qualification papers.
C. 13. Snell
Mr. C. B. Snell, a candidate for
the Reeveship, was the last speaker
to be called. Mr. Snell said that
the citizens had known him for 40
years as sober, industrious, honest
and one who had stood for the
moral uplift of the community. He
had been approached by more than
ever this year to stand for reeve.
He had been accused of being the.
most expensive man to the munici-
pality. This year money had been
spent to improve his property but
75 per cent of the money had been
spent in Exeter. The working men
had been helped by It. Every elti-
zen knew the'condition Of the drain.
It Was obnoxious to Exeter. The
improvements made 'were .for the
benefit of Chas. Snell but the whole
town had profited by It. If all the
laboring men, mechanics, electric-
ians and business men who had pro-
fited 'by his building voted tors him
he would be elected sure. If elect-
ed he would put forth every effort
to irnprove the town, morally and
Otherwise.
Rev', W. E. Ciysdale started the
ball rolling when he asked Mr. Snell
'Where late stood on the Peel room
question. Mr. Snell said he Stood
nn the tight tilde of all moral hues -
tions. This did not Satisfy Mr,
Olysdale, who wanted M'r. Snell to
declare himself. Voices from the
Audience objected `while ethers prose
sed the veetie>n, and commotion..
reigned.
