PLANS TO IMPROVE TIM
POST -OFFICE SITE.
If the town of Exeter cannot have
a new postoffice the Horticultural
'Society and the town council hope to
at least have a children's playground
and a beauty spot made of the site
in the heart of the town that before
the war was purchased by the Do-
minion government for, a postoffice.
This spot for years has been- an eye-
sore to the citizens of Exeter and.
has left a very unfavorable impres-
sion -on the many visitors who have
passed through our :town during the
motoring season. When the .pro-
perty was purchased by the Public,
Works department a building that
was then on the site was razed; to,
the ground and the unsightly exca-
vation that was then.:left has since
r m
e au
.ed and has not only been un-
sightly but has been dangerous. A
communication was . recently receiv-
ed by :the Horticultural Society and
also: by the postmaster asking how
the property might . 'be improved.
The Council met as a committee on
Tuesday morning and looked over
the property and decided to recom
mend to the Minister of Public
Works that the property be fenceda
Off part way back and that the front
be levelled and seeded out as a
playground for the children in the
summer time and possibly be flooded
by .the town for a skating rink in
winter. This decision ina,y have
been influenced somewhat by the
great deal of amusement the young-
sters derived oe the site ; the past
winter.
