The clue is unsound. Vale is Latin for farewell which is fine, but T is not a recognised abbreviation for town (i.e. not listed in Chambers).

It would then be read as 'Servant' (definition) is 'farewell to town's first' - meaning the word VALET is VALE+T. It avoids the use of filler words which don't contribute to the clue (like 'says').
But setters have a degree of what could be called 'poetic licence'
