SPRINGS AT THE RIVER
NOW BEING CONSIDERED
The Public Utilities Commission
have abandoned the idea of securing
a sufficient supply of water for the
waterworks system of Exeter from
the well at Mr. W. F. Abbott’s. Af
ter testing the .'Well for about a
month during which time it stood up
fairly well and revealed that there
was a remarkable supply at a dis
tance of about thirty feet below the
surface, yet the test did not warrant
the commission to assume that the

FREE GASOLINE
Motorists in Exeter Saturday
night were supplied with free gaso
line and in addition were given a
cigar or a pint of oil in the greatest
gasoline price war ever staged in
Exeter or anywhere near this com
munity. There was a merry time on
the street Saturday night. Cars
were lined up for nearly a block
awaiting their turn at tlie pumps as
the price of gasoline tumbled from
20c. a gallon to zero and then one of
the dealers secured a box of cigars
and gave away free smokes to those
who took the gas away for nothing.
Not to be outdone the next dealer
added a pint of tree oil. Spectators
lined the street and at times the
traffic was almost blocked.
The war started Saturday morn
ing through an advertisement which
appeared in the Times-Advocate an
nouncing 20c. gas. Several other
dealers met the price. Some of the
dealers locked tlieir pumps, and de
clared a holiday. At the north end
of the business section a large ban
ner was strung across the street an
nouncing gas at 20c. and the price
was maintained throughout the day
at that particular station. But in the
down town section things took on a
livelier aspect and many of those
who had filled up at 20c. a gallon
regretted that they had been so
hasty.
With one dealer selling at twenty
cents another dealer put out his sign
at lSc. This was the prevailing
price until around six o’clock when

Then came the cigars and. oil. The
