HURON COUNTY HOME
THREATENED BY FIRE
The Huron County Home had a
scorching fire Sunday evening. A>
fire started in the attic, presumably
caused, by electricity entering along
the hydro wires. The fire had
I gained considerable headway before
being discovered but was exting-
I uished by the fire protection appli
ances with which the home is equipped. It is considered fortunate
that the blaze occurred during the
day instead of the night, when it
might have got beyond control be
fore being noticed.

FAIR PROSPECTS FOR
WATER
Pumping water at the ' rate of
forty gallons a minute night and
day for the past week from a well
on the property of Mr. W. F. Ab
bott has failed to lower the water
in the well to any .great extent and has effected very little any of the
wells nearby. This has given en
couragement to the members of the
Public Utilities Commission in their
search for a .pure water supply for
the Waterworks system. The water is reported to .be of excellent qual
ity. The pump was installed on
Thursday of last week and since
that time has been working to ca
pacity. What effect a larger pump would have on the supply lias yet
to be determined The water is
secured at a depth of thirty feet.
There is a suggestion that a trench
be dug at the water level for a dis
tance o.f thirty feet in a horizontal
position, removing the gravel and
inserting perforated tile to be cov
ered with crushed stone. If sufficient
water can be secured at a depth of
thirty feet tre problem of lifting it
will not be expensive. A test of the
springs on the farm of Mr. Garnet Frayne has been made and there is
a good supply of splendid water but
the cost of gathering the water and pumping it in would be rather
high. Engineer Fleming is expect
ed in Exeter today to go over the
situation with the Commission.
