HYDRO SUPT. DISAPPEARS
The citizens of this community
were greatly shocked this week when
it was leaihed that Mr. H. W. Doerr,
superintendent of the local Public
Utilities Commission, had disappear
ed after haviug presumably gone to
Toronto to consult a physician. Mr.
Doerr for the past 15 years has been
secretary-treasurer of the Commis
sion and was highly regarded in the
community. He left Exeter on
Tuesday last by auto for Toronto and
after visiting with his brother-in-
law, Mr. D. Roberts, of that city, the
latter was surprised to receive a let
ter from him sent from Hamilton.
Stating that he had left for parts un
known. Mr. Doerr had stored his car
and forwarded his license and car
keys to Mr. Roberts. Mrs. Doerr was
communicated with and in .company
with Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Medd mo
tored to Toronto. The blow falls
very heavily on Mrs. Doerr and fam-,
ily and the sympathy of many
friends will be extended to them at
this time. The local commission
immediated started a check-up on the
funds and it was at first believed
that everything was in good shape.
A visit to the safety deposit box at
the Bank of Montreal, however, re
vealed that bearer bonds to the ex
tent of $3000 were missing. Two
auditors and two engineers from the
Hydro Department, Toronto, made a
check-up Tuesday and
and as far as can be
bonds are all that
ing. The bonds have been taken in
recent months but just when has not
been determined. Mr, Doerr has
not been in good health ror some
months.
