"Harry the, crank'was target
of 1890s protest marchers
Last week we printed a very
factual report extracted from a
paper on "The arly Hotels in
Bayfield," a paper given by .Mrs,
E. W. Oddleifson at a Historical
Society Meeting.
When "rooting" for
information, members naturally
consult the older residents and
Mrs. Oddleifson intersperses the
more prosaic facts with
humourous "asides," some of
which are directquotations from
Tom Bailey and William
Johnston whose keen memories
help to bring alive many details
of life between and before the
two World Wars.
Tom's memory of his
childhood includes glimpses of
summer visitors from New York
in the 1890's when a Mrs.
MacDonald and her two sons
stayed at his father's hotel, the
Commercial; it seems that the
village children found one son
friendly and the other somewhat
surly, in consequence of which
they formed a parade outside
the hotel and marched back and
forth singing "Edgar's the
good-natured one and Harry is
the crank," ,while keeping time
by pounding on tin pans with
sticks. Tom also remembers the

NEW RATES FOR

2,`` All .:main extension a icj r>xpjr'I,Len stall be Id a. size that is suitable and
satisfactory for fire protection and o`ther'systemimprovements.
3. (1) The total cost of laying and constructing any extensions to the system that
are required and that are sought by the consumer shall be shared on a basis whereby
two -third's of the cost thereof shall be divided on aper foot frontage basis equally
between .the owners of the property on either side of the street on which the
extension is being constructed and the remaining one-third of the cost shalt be paid by
the Public Utilities Commission. The cost shall be determined as the cost to the
Commission of the total value of the material and services supplied for each extension
and all amounts therefore shall become payable upon completion of the work.
(2) In circumstances where the Commission is replacing undersize mains, however,
the cost thereof shall be borne by the Commission.
4. The cost of constructing private services to the water main extensions shall be paid
by the owners and the amount thereof shalt be determined as the actual cost to the
Public Utilities Commission of=the services and materials supplied for such connection.
Anyone desiring to have such connection shall complete the written application form
supplied by the Commission and shall pre -pay to the Commission an estimate of the
costs, and in any event, a 518's inch service shall cost $85.00 for the construction of a
service pipe to the property line. In addition to theforegoing, if it is necessary to
construct a service through a gravel road,, there will be an additional charge of $10.00
and if it is necessary to construct the service through a paved road, an additional
charge of $50.00 will be made.
5. For ,all services in excess of 5/8's inch, the amount prepaid shall be applied against
the actual cost of services and materials supplied by the Commission and the
difference, if less than the deposit, will be repaid to the customer and if in excess of
the deposit will be paid by the customer to the Commission.
6. There shall be installed with every service a valve at or near the property line
which shall be the property of the Water Department and which shall not be operated
by the customer.
7. All such costs shall be determined by the Public Utilities Commission.
8. If a service is requested by or on behalf of an owner of property outside the
Corporation limit, the Commission shall, in its discretion, determine whether or not to
make such service available and if the Commission elects to make such service
available, the consent of the appropriate authority in the Municipality in which the
service is to be supplied shall be obtained and the cost of installation shall be charged,
in the Commission's discretion, to either the owner of the property to be benefitted or
his duly authorized agent or the person, firm or corporation that has originally
requested and ordered the work.
9. Construction bf the extension and/or the service shall be made by the Public
Utilities Commission and paid for in accordance with the provisions herein:
10. Title to all extensions outside the Corporation shall remain with the Public
Utilities Commission and Whatever repairs or maintenance shall be required to such
mains, as determined by the Public Utilities Commission, shalt be carried but by the
Commission and paid for by either the owners of the property concerned or the
parties Ordering the work.
The above resolution was duly moved, seconded and carried unanimously on the
21st day of January, A.D. 1969,

PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION
to Br cefie
trip which, he maded u 1
Railway Station when his father
drove mother and boys to the
train in the family "Democrat."
In those, days travellers could
rest and refresh themselves in
Varna, at "Chings" which was
owned by Mrs, Richard Bailey's
cousin ' and at another
establishment at the Goshen
Line.
In those days cows and geese
roamed the streets and trekked
down to the river water.
Marnmy Morgan's geese could be
bought for 50 cents a piece as
well as being served in The
Morgan Hotel.
Tom Bailey remembers much
of the problems that his father
and other hotel keepers endured
in those far-off days, of whiskey
barrels being hidden in
cornfields, one of which was
behind the wainscotting of the
small dining room in today's
Little Inn; he also remembers a
relative who took it upon
himself to drive a revenue officer
out of town with a shotgun and
in consequence had to change
his name and flee to the states to
escape the Militia.
Another story is of Tim
McGee, the stagecoach driver.
He used to leave the Post Office
(now Mrs. Gairdner's) at 6 a.m.
and meet the 8 a.m. train at
Brucefield, there exchanging
mail and passengers and driving
on to Seaforth. On his return.he
met the 6 p.m. train and brought
mail to Bayfield. He also carried
groceries and Tom remembers
the day when a pail of candies
tipped over and laid a trail of
"conversation lozenges" from
Varna to Bayfield —
conversation lozenges were
candies imprinted with such
captions as "Hello Cutie," "Be
Mine" and "Oh you kid."
While these reminisences
• provide nostalgia for the older
residents, we look around us and
see the young folks sporting
buttons which read "Kiss me"
and "Make Love not War" and
we think of the old adage "Plus
ca change, plus c'est la merne
chose."

The following excerpts are
front; ,a letter written by Carl's
niece, Miss Margaret Durhaln,
Darwin, N;T., Australia,
describing her Christmas
vacation "Down Under" this
year in Perth as arranged by a
friend,
13 January
"Dear .Aunt I,uey:
It was quite a shock to arrive
hack in Darwin and find
George's letter saying that both
Mother and Uncle Carl were in
hospital. I feel quite useless
down here and a bit selfish to
think 1 was having such a happy
holiday — never dreaming there
was so much trouble at home,
Hazel has a lot of interesting
friends in Perth and they were
all so wonderful about showing
me around. Eugenie met me at
the airport, She teaches school
and has one more term to
complete before retiring. Her
twin sister Ida has just retired
and of course was in Indonesia
with Hazel so I didn't meet her.
They have a lovely little home
on the Swan River across from
the city. At night it was lovely
with all the lights reflected on
the river, and even though we
could watch all the traffic
rushing along, we couldn't hear
it at all. It was so quiet and
peaceful, just a few doves cooing
in the gum trees,
Although 1 was hoping to get
away from the heat, Perth was
having a heat wave — it reached
110 degrees one day, which was
just a bit much, But it was a
much drier kind of heat and not
so oppressive as Darwin, and
then the temperature dropped
40 degrees overnight to a
pleasant 70 degrees.
Perth is the loveliest
Australian city I have seen — lots
of trees and parks and
everything so well planned for
progress. Their university is
outstanding, a huge campus, and
has three outdoor theatres one
a sunken garden, another
surrounded on all sides by pine
trees.
There are lots of modern
skyscraper buildings springing up,
and the road system seems well
planned to cope with the traffic.
