Aifken waited on the council re the establishing of a foundry and asked for a building of 50x75 feet and a loan of $5000.00 for a term of years. The council ad­ vised that they would consider^ the same. ■ The matter’ of .’dogs running at large was considered. The com­ plaints have been-’made by citizens that'.they were destroying flower beds and shrubs. As there is a by­ law prohibiting dogs from running at large owners are requested to see that their dogs are kept tied up' in their own yard. If any more com­ plaints ai’e made the by-law will be rigidly inforced. The following accounts were ord­ ered paid: Wm.

Senior,Clerk PLANS Oil DASHWOOD BOY IS CRUSHED TO DEATH IN MOTOR ACCIDENT The village of Dashwood was thrown into consternation Sunday afternoon when Edgar Elmore Ra­ der, aged 11 years old, was almost instantly killed when he was crush­ ed between a telephone pole and an automobile driven by Elmer Zimmer 20 years old. The fatality was the sequel to a misehevious prank play­ ed by a number of boys. When young Zimmer got into his car in front of the hotel and at­ tempted to drive away a number of lads caught on the rear of the auto and tried to keep it from moving forward on the icy road. The driver then threw the car into reverse and backed it for a block. He swerved the car at the corner with the in­ tention of turning and going ahead and in doing so he crashed into a telephone pole in front of Ed Nedi- ger’s harness shop. The Rader lad and Addison Mason, a playmate, hung on to the car. The latter jumped a moment before the car crashed, into the pole, but young Rader, who was hanging to the rear tire, was crushed to death almost instantly, ' The unfortunate lad was taken to the office -el’ Dr. Taylor where his mother was in waiting at the time, who, when she recognized that it was her own son, received a ter­ rible shock. The father was in Michigan at the time attending a funeral of an aunt. The coroner, Dr. O’Dwyer, of Zu­ rich, was called and it was decided that an inquest was not necessary. The victim of the accident was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Rader who resides on the Lake Road about two miles east of Dashwood. Be­ sides his parents he is survived by two brothers Harry and John, both at home and two sisters, Selma at home and Mrs. J. W. Schultz, of De­ troit. The funeral is being held this (Wednesday) afternoon, interment in the Lutheran cemetery.

ARTICLES TO BE IN HANDS OF THE JUDGES NOT LATER THAN SATURDAY, MARCH 17th, 1928 B. AY f. REAVERS, ,S. J. HOGARTH Judges The Exeter Horticultural SPERMANENT ROADS TO CUT DOWN COST ' Reeve C. B. Snell has a scheme foot to reduce the taxes of Exeter several mills on the dollar and at the same time make such permanent improvements in the town as will set Exetei’ on the map and put it in a. class by itself aS far as good roads are concerned in a small town. Mr. Snell’s plan is to put down a perma­ nent road on all of the main tra­ velled side streets -in the village and ,he estimates that,,/he cost to tire ’■’‘ratepayers will be several thousand dollars less per annum than is now being paid out to keep the roads in repair. Mr. Snell has submitted his figures to a number of the lead­ ing men of the town and his scheme seems to meet with general approval Last year Exeter paid out $7 891. for the Upkeep of the streets and the laying of the dust in Exeter but of this amount $666. was repaid by the county. In 1921 $5 651. was paid out and in 1925 the cost was $61-08. Mr. Snell estimates, according to contractor’s figures, that two miles of permanent road can he put down at a cost of a little over $2400.00. This would take, care of Huron, Au- draw, William and Victoria streets to the station and all the intersec­ tions. The remaining streets would cost very lttle each year to keep m repair. By issuing debentures for twenty years the cost figures -out at a little over $2000. a year. This would leave from three to five thousand 'dollars for the upkeep of the side­ walks and the drains and Mr. Snell estimates that out of this there should be a considerable saving each year to the town and it looks as if he is right.The Council have secured prices and estimates for a crushed stone road coated with tarvia. The first layer for the road would be of two inch crushed stone with tarvia roll­ ed with heavy roller. The second layer would he of crushed stone from one to two inch and rolled again while the top coat or coating would be pebbles or sand with tar­ via and rolled. Three hours after the road is complete it would be ready for traffic. The citizens of Exetei* are becoiu- ing more exacting etch regard to the matter of down the dust mid although 5 year with keeping over $1700 was spent last year for this purpose the method employed was not altogether satisfactory. A tar­ via road would largely do away with that expense.Another thing in this connection would be the additional revenue oL several hundred dollars for Ceme­ tery Perpetual Fund. There is . at present $8000 in the bank drawing 3 per cent, interest. By utilizing this amount for the purchase of the debentures to be retired between the 15th and 2<>tli year the interest earned would considerably augment the cemetery funds. marriages ARSONS—WALPEiR —• At St. United Parsonage on Wednes­ day, March 14th, Jean Evelyn Walper, daughter of Mr. John Walper, to Mr. Frank Kieth Par­ sons, son of MY. and Mrs. Samuel Parsons, by Rev.

Premium List Closes March 17 OUR AV ATER SUPPLY Editor, Times-Advocate Sir: Every community to-day takes pride in its natural surroundings and in many cases much capital is made out of such. Exeter, witlT*its wonderfully fertile, lands -on-.all. sides its modern streets, comfortable and up-to-date homes, hospitable people, efficient fire protection, is lacking one essential in life that is of the utmost importance to any commun­ ity, and when visitors ask us “How is your .drinking water?” What can we reply? None other than we are sadly behind the age in that we draw our drinking water from in­ dividual wells whose water is of doubtful origin. These wells, while some few may be supplied by good spring water, are usually of shallow depths, and in times of rains and melting snows, are merely receptacles for anything in shape of drainage water and ani­ mal life and refuse that can get into them. Then, too, with the three and four hundred per cent, increase in septic tanks in the past few years, with their far-reaching arms of field tile carrying their refuse to all parts of the town, some of this waste and refuse is bound to find its way into wells supplying drinking water to all of our citizens. That is the water wo draw up into our pails, and. is the general condition of the thriving community in which we live. Rather unpleasant, is it not? The towns of Wingham, Clinton. Seaforth and Mitchell have artesian well some three hundred to three hundred and fifty feet in depth from which is pumped the purest of clear, sparkling water into water mams used for drinking and fire protec­ tion.It may not be generally known, but under this part of Western On­ tario is an underground lake of clear cold fresh water at the depths men­ tioned, and everywhere a. well has been drilled to approximately these depths, the same lake of water has been found. It is constantly runn­ ing and one can often hear the rush of* water when listening at the open­ ing of a deep well. This same rush of water can be heard at the local salt well as we have to pass through this vein of water in going down to the salt beds and it is this vein that supplies water used to dissolving the rock salt, which is afterwards pumped to the surface. With this immense body of pure water at our very feet are we not foolish as a community of our size and importance, to persist in drink­ ing the impure water we are? Some day we will have an outbreak of fe­ ver which will mean sickness, and probably loss of life. I would suggest two wells drilled at a convenient place, present pumping house could be ut­ ilized, or behind the town hall, the wells pumped by Hydro, and con­ nected up with our present mains. The expense would bo trifling, as the town has already its system in­ stalled. Two wells are necesary in case of accident to one. Clinton has tbreo wells and finds the system ideal. I would like to see our Chamber of Commerce, Council and citizens in general take some concerted early date. be The this matter up end action taken at an Yours, M. G. RANSFORD Mrs. J.
