PURE WATED SUPPLY
AT PRESENT RATES
Exeter can have a pure water
supply without costing the taxpay
ers of Exeter one cent or without in
creasing the cost to the present water
users one cent, according to a state
ment made by Engineer D. H. Flem
ing, of Toronto, at a public meeting
■of the ratepayers in the Town Hall
on Friday evening last. In other
words the revenue that is being re
ceived at present from the water
works system spread over a period
of thirty years will pay for the cost
of installing a new system and in
addition should provide a surplus of
$5 00 a year. This does not take in
to consideration any additional rev
enue that would be derived from a
pure water system.
A motion was presented at the
meeting requesting the Public Utili
ties Commission and the Municipal
Council to prepare and submit a by
law to the ratepayers. While the mo
tion did not receive the enthusiastic
support of all those present, as far as
we could see there was only one vote
in opposition to the measure.
Mr. Fleming in addressing the
meeting, stated that those sponsoring
the installation of a domestic water
supply are well advised in consider
ing it at this time. There is no debt
on the present system. The tax rate
of Exeter is one o-f the lowest, if not
the lowest in the province of Ontario.
The price of materials for such a
system are extremely low at the
present time. Two years ago they
were the lowest in 215 years, and
there has been a slight advance, but
not a serious one, but enough to in
dicate the trend. For that reason, as
well as others, this should be an op
portune time.
The problem in Exeter is to get a
good water supply. There are three
sources. First, the present supply
which could be treated satisfactorily;
second, the battery of springs about
a mile east of Exeter and third, a
deep well. All o'f these the engineer
had gone into.
The installation oi a filtration
plant Xor the present water supply is
a feasible scheme and good water
could be produced. Such a scheme
would require the services of a
trained man lull time. The cost of
operation and the cost of installation
would be more expensive than a deep
well. To develop the spings east of
Exeter would be expensive and there
is doubt as to a sufficient supply.
The sinking of a deep well is the
least expensive, requiring no chem
icals to treat the water and no. fil
tration. The expense of operation
would be about the same as at pres
ent;about $500 for power and $5 00

TO SPEND $15,000.00
The Bell Telephone Company plans
to spend $15,000 at Exeter this sum
mer, re-building the entire exchange

ing the poles and overhead wires

The program calls "or a complete
