(Continued from page one) for fuel, oil and attendance. Wells are being used quite extensively in Western Ontario with good satisfac­ tion. The cost in Exeter for water sup­ ply is $3.50 .for the first tap and 50c. a tap extra. The revenue last year was $3,399.42; the operating cost was $1,0'37.74, leaving a profit of $2361.68. This would be the profit providing no big expenditures were found necessary. These must be ex­ pected with an old system. A new system would cut down repair work extensively. (Mr. Fleming estimated that the total cost -Oif a system with well and reservoir with a capacity of a quar­ ter million gallons of water covered over with three feet of earth, would be $31,000. The Wateworks De­ partment have on hand over $3,000 which would leave $28,000 to be raised by debentures. The principal and interest spread over thirty years would amount to about $1,844 an­ nually, or about $500 less than the Spring Housecleaning Needs At this season of the year when nature is reviving the grass and trees and putting a new appearance on the lawns, farms, shrubs and trees, women’s minds turn to house cleaning.

Next week we will give a fuller announcement of this * demonstration Keep the date, FRIDAY, APRIL 27, open to visit this store. profit last year. This means that the rates to the users would not have to be increased; you would not have to ask any more users to take the water and there would be no in­ creases in the taxes to the ratepayers, and there would still be something like $500 to put aside from yeai’ to year. However, with such a system there is no doubt that there will be new users and increased revenue. The present by-law calls for the lay­ ing of new mains if the revenue will equal ten pei’ cent of the cost. The engineer’s proposal is to get water in the gravel beds above the rock at an estimated depth of about 80 feet. The approval oif the Prov­ incial Board of Health for the new system must be obtained first and following the passing of a by-law contractors will come in and if sat­ isfied that they can get water- will drill a well on the condition of no water, no pay. Only after the water is secured would a reservoir be built. Mr. Fleming answered a number of question from those preesnt. He stated that the water pump at the river could be used for pumping water from the reservoir to stand­ pipe. The water lin reservoir was ror two purposes: to fight a fire and have a reserve supply. If a well is properly constructed there should be no danger of contamination of the water. Btrathroy has a well less than thirty feet down and London a well at forty "feet. In estimating the consumption the engineer has figur­ ed on an abundant supply, 200 gall­ ons a minute; 20t0 gallons per person per day; the average use is about 25 gallons per person per day. Reeve Sanders Reeve W. D. Sanders was called on and he stated that he thought the council perfectly justified in submitting a by-law. As far as he was concerned he was neutral and willing to carry out the wishes of the public. We have the engineer’s report and it loojkfe feasible. He thought it could be done for the money and Exeter would have a first class water supply. The reeve was asked if it was necessary to submit a by-law when the water users were paying the cost. He stated it was necessary be­ cause the municipality guaranteed the bonds. Dr. Roulston felt tnat the time was opportune for the installing of a new system. He referred to the time hydro was installed when it was felt that a by-law would not pass but when the vote was polled there were only 22 opposed. The ex­ pense seems high but at one time we paid $2,700 for street lighting alone. He made a motion that the Utilities commission and the council submit a by-law to the ratepayers. The motion was seconded by F. A. May and carried. Following this the engineer gave a detailed statement as to how he arrived at the estimate. He also stated that the sooner in the year that the project is, under way the less expense there would be in build­ ing it. B. W. F. BEAVERS “The Hardware With the Green Front” PHONE 86 EXETER DANCE — at — THE PAVILION GODERICH EVERY SATURDAY NIGHT “Tony Farr’s” Orchestra JAS, BALLANTYNE CHOICE OF CONVENTION Reeve James. Ballantyne, of Us­ borne township, who last year was Warden of the County, was the choice of an open convention of Progressives, Liberals and Indepen­ dent Conservatives at Hensail on iMonday afternoon, and is to run as and Independent candidate in oppo­ sition to George H. Elliott, of Clin­ ton, who has been selected to car­ ry the Conservative banner. In sel­ ecting Mr. Ballantyne the conven­ tion turned down 'Mr. w. G. Medd, M.L.A., who has represented South Huron for the past two terms as a Progressive. The Town Hall was packed to overflowing with representatives from all parts of the riding. Goder­ ich, which has just been added to South Huron, was well represented. William Black, president of the Progressive Association was in the chair. Geo. Layton presented a resolution that the choice of the convention should stand as an In­ dependent candidate. This was sec­ onded by J. G. Stanbury and carried with only two opposing votes. Open nominations and voting by ballot was decided on. Eight names were placed in nomination, all of whom withdrew with the exception of W. G. Medd, of Exeter; James Ballan­ tyne, of Usborne and J. H. Scott, of Seaforth. On the first ballot W. G. Medd was dropped. While the ballot was being counted, which took abou t three quarters of an hour, Harry C. Nixon, leader of the Progressive party spoke of the ex­ travagant .admin'ih'tration ofi the Henry Government. While the second ballot was be­ ing circulated the chairman stated that someone had asked that Mr. Ballantyne state his position on the temperance question. It was then that the meeting, which up to this time had proceeded harmoniously, was considerably disturbed. A num­ ber protested and Mr. Ballantyne, being agreeable stated that he was not exactly a temperance man. He believed the Beei’ and Wine bill would be repealed if public senti­ ment wag against it. He would do what was right. He could take a drink or leave it alone. The state­ ment brought forth a demand for a new ballot but this was voted down. The ballot gave Mr. Ballan­ tine a majority of 80 over Mr. Scott Mr. Scott mo^ed to make the nom­ ination unanimous and Mr. Medd seconded the motion with some personal reservations. Mr. Ballan­ tyne thanked the convention for his nomination and further intimated that he was behind his leaders in be­ lieving that the liquor question should be kept out of politics. Rev. J. W. Down, of Exeter, the president of the Temperance Federa­ tion of South Huron, rising at this point stated that he had interviewed Mr. Ballantyne and thought he should be more specific on his stand in reference to the temper­ ance question. He thought from Mr. Ballantyne’s statement that if he were elected he would throw his in­ fluence against the beer and wine measure. He stated that he was sat­ isfied with the candidate that had been nominated. At this point Mr. J. Kellerman of Dashwood objected to the manner in which the chairman had handled the meeting. He stated that he was three score years and ten but had never seen anything like this. The chairman was wrong in calling on a candidate when a ballott was in pro­ gress. It was playing into the hands of the Conservatives. The names placed before the con­ vention in the order of nomination were as follows: Jas. Ballantyne of Usborne; J. H. Scott, Seaforth; W. G. Medd; R. J. McMillan, Seaforth; J. G. Stanbury, Exeter; Wm. Black, Tuckersmith; Dr. Shaw, Clinton; W.H. Robertson, Goderich. Mr. Medd in announcing that he would allow liis name to go before the convention pointed out that they all knew where he stood on the question of alcoholic beverages. He spoke of the vote on the beer and wine question in the House and de­ clared that fnany Conservatives came out like whipped dogs and voted for the bill as they had been instructed. The first step towards getting rid of the alcoholic bever ages was to get rid of the Henry government. He favored taking the liquor question ais a moral issue out of politics. Mr. Medd spoke of the extravagance of the government ana of the piling up of the public debt. Mr. Ballantyne spoke .very briefly He thought that the question for the electors to consider was the cost of administration, the increase in the debt and the mismanagement of Hydro. Hon. H. Nixon, Progressive lead­ er’s address was somewhat split up as he spoke during the taking of the ballots. He brought the greet ings of Mr. Hepburn who had been unable to be present. In spite of the size and enthusiasm of the meeting, Mr. Nixon advised his hearers to leave no stone unturned to bring their campaign to a succesful con­clusion. (Mentioning that Hon. W. G. Mar­ tin, minister of public welfare had been a speaker in the same hall at a Conservative convention a few days ago, Mr. Nixon took him to task foi' hi« conduct of his depart­ment, He declared that it had been allowed to run absolutely wild as far as expenditure was concerned. He declared that the principalship of the School for the Blind at Brant­ ford was being kept open as a soft spot for Mr. Martin to drop into when the people of Brantford turn­ ed him down as they would at the coming election. “There is nothing surer than that Toryism is on it way out not only in Ontario but all over Canada,” as­ serted Mr. Nixon. He expressed his regret that the liquor question had been raised at this convention, This was the first occasion, to his knowledge, at which it had been raised, and, it seemed strange that this should occur in a constituency which was under the Canada Temperance Act. Mr, Nixon dealt at length with charges of maladministration and, extravagance of the Henry Govern­ ment, citing Hydro salaries, legal fees paid, cost of Commissions, cost Of constructing the famous barn at Ontario Hospital at Orillia at a cost of $37,000-, the Aibitibi and Domin­ ion Power and Transmission Co. deals, stressing the alarming in­ crease in the Provincial debt, amounting now to $610,000,000, He charged the beer and wine question was raised to becloud the real issues He promised a thorough houseclean­ ing in the civil service if a Liberal- Progressive Government was return­ ed to power, STAFFA Mr. Norman Hamilton, of Galt, who is Representative of the Pro­vincial Prohibition Associaton gave a very inspiring talx on Sunday in the United Church. Mr. Hamilton’s presence was very much appreciated being formerly a resident of this district. Mrs. John Livingston who has been quite ill is feeling much bet­ter.
