GEORGE WILLIAMS IS NEW
COUNCILLOR
Mr, George Williams has
elected by acclamation to fill the
position on the Exeter council made
i vacant by the death oil the late
i Hawkins. A nomination
meeting was held Monday evening
Williams, Birtle M. Francis and
Harper C. Rivers. The nomination
was held in the Town Hall but owing
to another meeting the citizens ad
journed to the firemen’s room and
there listened to short addresses by
the nominees. All expressed -egret
at the cause for the new nomination
and while all were aspirants for the
position none of them wished to
cause an election. The meeting was
a particularly free and happy one
and after the nominees had spoken
Chairman Joseph Senior called on
the movers and seconders of the
candidates to say a few words. Short
speeches were made by W. J, Carling
John Taylor, Thos. Jones and A, E,
Fuke, The candidates had until
nine o’clock Tuesday evening to
qualify and the only one to qualify
was Geo. Williams and he was
dared elected by acclamation.
OUTLINE WHEAT POOL
A public meeting was' held in
Town Hall Monday evening regard
ing the proposed forming of an On
tario Wheat Pool. The speakers
were W. A. Amos, president of the
U. F. O.; H. A. Gilroy, president of
the U. F. O. Co-operative Co. nd
Secretary J. J. Morrison. Stirring
addresses were given on farmers
controlling, where possible, their na-
tral produce and co-operating in the
marketing of them. It is proposed
to orgnize by districts in the wheat
pool and the Co-operative company
is lending its organization to put
the thing across. Five year con
tracts were distributed and if suf
ficient signers are- obtained by the
canvassers a district organization
be affected.
HYDRO FOR THE FARM
Hydro power for farm purposes is
being brought to the attention of
the farmers of the Township of Us
borne. A meeting was held in the
Town Hall, Exeter, on Wednesday
afternoon of last week addressed by W. V. Bishop, engineer of the fl.E.
P.O. and chairman J. Hind, of the
Exeter Public Utilities. Mr. H.
Strang, of. Usborne was chairman.
A similar meeting was held at the
Township Hall, Elimville, on Thurs
day. An effort will be made to run
one or two main lines through the
township linking up Kirkton and
Woodham. From these it is pro
posed to run branch lines up and
down the concessions wherever an
average of three farms to the mile
can be linked up. The service
charge for the Exeter rural power
district has been reduced from $60
to $39.42 and the consumption
charge has been reduced from 7 to
5c for the first 42 K.W- hours, ever
that amount 2e per K.W, hour.
These attractive prices have been
made possible because of the i>ion-
eering work that has already been
done. As 'consumption, increases
the prices for power will no doubt
decrease as this has been the ex
perience all along. It is estimated
that the wiring for the average
house and barn will cost between
$150 and>$200. The cost of equip
ment depends upon the number of
appliances used. The average
cost for lighting house and barn,
pumping water, pulping roots, sep
arating, running a washing ma
chine, toaster, iron, etc,, is estimat
ed at about $5.00 a month. Hydro
lifts the drudgery from the home
and the present price brings it with-. __
