CNR &Wiwi An nutline of the develop- inent of public utility services In Exeter was provided by RUC Ma.nager If. L. Davis. at a •;banquet given in honor of L. 3. Penhale who recently vorripleted 27 years' service. Th,t, outline follows! Mr. Penhale commenced his first term on the Commission in,1933. At this time hi' 1% as eleTted Chairman, a position he was to hold for many years. The first major project in the Hydro Department was new street lights in the bust- ne.s area. These were install- ed.„ in 1935. and the averhead wires were rem ON err to the, rear of the stores. ,Nt this ttme the Commission hart $37,000 Invested in capital plant and had a revenue of $24,000. The peak load for the rear 1935 was 313.3 K.W. with a total consumption of 989.298 .Kw. Hrs. The system had 567 hydro consumers. Following 1935, loads eon• tinned In increase due to old homes installing electricity and more appliances being used. During this period the Hydra Department was always able to finance additional plant from existing, revenue. In 1943 the old hydro build- ing, now occupied by Clarence Fairbaire, was sold and the present office was purchased. This building was occupied by the Ontario Hydro and the Public, Utilities until 1938. Began own system Prior to 1!155 all work nn the hvrko- 11..cs was done by On- tario Hydro employees. In 1958, however, the Commission took ov er S own operations and purchased line equipment and hired male employees of its own Inwn experienced a spurt in building and due to most of the older streets being bunt up. new subdivisions were developed. These proved to be an abnormally large financial burden on 14-,c., Utility hut, due to good management in past sears, all extensions were fin- anced with existing revenue, it is rather interesting to nntr that in Air. Penhale's 27 year-, On the Commission the capital plant increased to 8372,- 000 00.7 an increase of $315.000.00. The peak load for 1991 was 2,123_9 K.W., an increase of ".1166 KG.W, The total con- f,oimption for 19132 was 10,352,- 400 kilowatt hours. The system used more kilowatt hours in the , month of December that year;". than was used in the ...rear 1335. The system now serves 1258 consumers. In spite of increased costs ,of wages and material, the eost 'of the kilowatt hour pur- chased by our consumer today is cheaper than in 1935. There are not many businesses that can make this claim.

Up until that year there was only river• water available. This supply was not filtered or chlorinated and was unfit for human consumption. In the Year 1934 money was allocated to secure an adequate supply of water for domestic pur- poses. It was doting Mr. Pen.- hale's first term that an ode- guide supply of water was found and the domestic water system was put into operation. This ,supply is now known as the Springs Supply. At this time there, was a population of 1600 in the vil- lage. The system had six miles of cast-iron main and 35 hyd- rants. There was a total of 316 water services with an estimated per capita daily use of 10 imperial gallons. The system had $43,266.00 invested in capital plant. With the installation of do- mestic water and metering, the total gallonage for the year 1937 was 28,701,000. Due to an increase in de- mand, the Utilities connected its first well to the system in 1939. This was a drilled well and was located at the corner of Al arlborough and Thom as Streets and gave the system an additional 60 gallons per minute. Add more wells Again, due to increased growth in the village. it be- came necessary to secure ad- ditional water and the .Nestle Well was connected to the system in 1945, adding 60 more gallons per minute to the sup- ply. During the year 1948 the Utility again required addition- al water and, after consider- able test drilling, the. Moodie Well was connected to the system, This well gave Exeter an additional 300 gallons per minut e. As Exeter continued to grow, it was incorporated as a Town in 1951. During the early fifties there was a moderate amount of building and, with the domestic and industrial re- quirements, the Commission aagin searched for water. At this time considerable drilling was done. However, the most adequate supply was located at a considerable distance from the Town, The Commission then entered into a joint pro- ject on the second concession of Usborne. Where, the, road crossed the Ausable River the Ausable Conservation Autho- rity, Government, Township of L'shorne and the Exeter Pub- lic 'Utilities erected a combined dam and bridge to be known as the Morrison Dam. This was completed in 1958. All wa- ter rights of this dam belongs to thz Utilities. In the late fifties Exeter ex- perienced an abnormal amount of building and again the pumping capacities became taxed. Supply for Canners In 1960 the Canadian Can- ners' plants throughout the country were consolidating ope• rations and many of the small plants were closed. The opera• non of the local plant hinged On the availability of an ade- quate supply of wate,. The Commission, realizing the im- portanee of this industry to the farrner$ as well as to the coin, munity as a whole erected the Filtration Plant near the main pumnhouse. This plant has A Present eapeeitY .of 600 gallons per minute and can he in- creased to 1800 gallons per minute. This was to be an in- dustrial supply as there would be no removal of odor or col- our, Water .from the Morrison Dam is used in this Plant.. , During this year a start was made on the Hicks' Well. This suPplY, having a capacity of 200 1GA1, would supplement the domestic supply and was connected to the system in 1961. During Mr. Penhale's years of office the population ' in- creased to over 3000 and the length of east-iron mains to over 14 miles. There are 61 hydrants and 1201 water con- sumers connected to the sys- tem, The per capita use in- creased to 139 gallons and at present there is $429,392 in- vested in capital plant. The consumption for the year in- creased to 149,573,000 imperial gallons from slightly over 29,000,000 gallons. These accomplishments, that Alt'. Penhale has guided, have been done with only the good of the Town and the commu- nity in iniod. I doubt if any citizen has given more of his time and talents to this com- munity, and T believe he has left an example for all to fol- low, Mixup at museum County council's historical committee is somewhat less than enthusiastic over Curator H. Neill's plan to build an addition on the front of Huron Pioneer MUSCUM. Discussion brought out that the addition, proposed to make. the handling of visitors easier, would be of cement blocks. "Four different generations of architecture in that one lot," one member said, "and cement blocks would make a fifth." Chairman A. D. Smith, Turn- berry, said the curator was not satisfied with the way his building program has been handled, "We have some new mem• hers on our committee," he ex- plained, "and before the Attie session we hope to work out sonic arrangement with regard to what the curator outlined to the committee, He has writ- ten letters saying he will not be the curator unless certain things are done, and person- ally I think that is the wrong attitude, but if you. will bear with us for another couple of months we will try to work out an arrangement satisfactory to everybody," "The curator complains that he cannot sell tickets the way the. county auditor wants, and says it cannot be done," re- marked Reeve Frank Walkom of Goderich, a member of the committee. orange Lodge eYchre.

These are the practices that Dr, Patterson feels will con- tribute to lower feed costs; Allow 1.5 acres of seeded pasture or its equivalent per cow, Use a pasture management programincluding strip or ro- tational grazing. Extend the pasture season by 'using early spring and late fall crops, Use legume-grass mixtures in forage crops, Cut bay early. The date of cutting has more effect on the quality of the roughage than the degree of weathering after curing. Feed adequate roughage dur- ing the winter feeding period (normally 3 tons of dry hay or its equivalent in silage,) Feed grain according to pro- duction. The most economical levet is 1 lb. of grain for each 7.5 lbs. of milk on an all-year basis. Home grown grain, plus low cost protein supplements, such as oilcake, bran, and gluten seem to produce milk at lowest cost, Him; "Well, I suppose yoti're plenty angry because I came home with this black eye last night."
