WORK AT SPRINGS
Workmen are now engaged in
gathering the water from the springs
of the newly acquired property on
the nionth bank of the Aux Sauble
river under the direction of the
Public Utilities Commission. The
men have opened a right-of-way
through the west end of Mr. G.
Frayne’s property. They have erect
ed a small basin about six feet deep
from which the water when collect
ed will be pumped to a reservoir
near the present pumphouse on the
south side of the .river. They are
at present engaged in digging a
trench along the face of the bank
for the purpose of intailing perforat
ed tile for collecting the water. It
has been found necessary to erect a
barrier of planks driven into the
ground to keep the north bank of
the river from sliding into the
trench. The flow of water encount
ered so far gives promise of meeting
the estimated requirements of the
municipality and is more than
tlcipated by the commission.

The Exeter Community
from the first has attracted the in
terest >olf the general public through
out the district and friends were not
slow .in rallying to the support of
their favorite candidate. Naturally
the campaign became warmer as the
end drew closer.
The amount of junk brought in by
the contestants was a matter of Sur
prize to many. The scrap iron was
estimated at about 615 tons, with ad
ditional tons of old paper, tire case-
ings, bones, batteries, etc. and the
amount realized from the sale was
$500.00. That was a substantial
amount for odds and ends of old
material.
In appreciation of the splendid
work done by the contestants the
merchants are sponsoring a banquet
to be held in the Town Hall Friday
evening, the catering to be done by
the Women's Institute. Two tickets
have been forwarded to each of the
contestants.
