CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
A meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce was held in the Town
Hall on JThursday evening of last
week with the president B. W. F,
Beavers in the chair, a number of
recommendations were received from
the Publicity Committee. It was de
cided to secure euts of a map show
ing the location of Exeter, and the
principal roads in this community
for the printing on the back of all
envelopes used by the merchants of
Exeter. Another recommendation
was to have the farm lands of this
community advertised in some of
the States across the border where
lands are dear ,and tuxes high.
The Health and Accident commit-1
tee were instructed to secure the
necessary information as to the
probably cost of securing a supply of
pure drinking water for the town.
The Parks Committee reported
that they had secured the informa
tion as to the requirements of an ap-]
proved tourist camp. They advis
ed that for the present the camp re
main at Victoria Park but that
Riverview Park be developed with
the view to. making it a tourist camp.
Another suggestion that met with
hearty approval and support was' to
try and get the support of the C.N.R.
in levelling up the grounds south of
the depot with the view to making it
a beauty spot. The Chamber of
Commerce will work in conjunction
with the Horticultural Society in this
connection.
The matter of a garbage collection
system for Exeter came in for con
siderable discussion. It was expres
sed that the, present system or lack
of system of garbage disposal in Ex
eter was a great menace to the
health of the citizens. The garbage,
heap is the breeding ground for the
fly nuisance. The disposal of garb
age is a real problem for most of the
citizens . and the members present
were unanimous that something
should be done to remedy the con
dition. The Health and Accident
Committee were instructed to go in
to the matter in conjunction with
the’ Board of Health and to prepare
a report that will be dealt with later.
Du.ring the course of the evening
light refreshments were served.
There was a splendid attendance
and a fine spirit in the meeting and
the way suggestions made . showed
that there are many matters for the
improvement of our town that might
be dealt’with by a
tion.

rlcn several days Iasi
was engaged as Counsel in
portant cases being tried before the
Jury Cdunty Court. In all three
cases l.e was rucc^ful in obtaining
verdicts, for his clients. Two of the
three were slander actions in which
Mr. J. C. Makins, K. C„ of Stratford
and Mr. R. S. Hays, of .Seaforth were
acting for Mr. VZ.C'^'ii Ross and his
two sons against Mr. Cha. les Mac
Kay, Councillor vof Tuckersmith and
Mr. Alfred-Johnston, of Stanley. The
latter were being sued for damages
for .slandering,, the Ross family who
live in Stanley near Brucefield. It,
was charged that the defendants had ! Chief)
connected the names of the Rosses
with cliipken stealing but this was
denied. Two young men. swore that
McKay had blamed the plaintiffs but
one of them broke down under cross-
examination and admitted to defence
counsel that .MacKay had said he
didn’t believe these stories about the
plaintiffs and that the witness had
been given the story by the other
young man to learn-off and tell in
court. The third case was by John
Brown, of. Zurich. against William
J.ohnston, of Zurich for damages for
trespass and f’Or the return of a
valuable cOw. Johnston and his
tenant, Walters, held a sale last
March at which’ it was announced
that all settlements were to be made
to Johnston, William Brown, brother
■of the plaintiff had a store account
against Walters so lie bid on a cow
and then offered Joliriston the ac
count in part payment. This was
refused but he removed the cow
without settlement and sold it to his
brother John. Johnston then recov
ered the cow and was sued by John
Brown for trespass. It was shown
that the plaintiff knew about the
dispute over the settlement before
he bought the cow from his brother.
The jury brought in , a verdict in
favor of the defendant Johnston, i
Dudley E. Holmes, of Goderich, act
ed for plaintiff and J. G. Staub ary,
of Exeter, for. defendants----- - »
