Bible canvass
not completed
While canvassing has not been
completed on the recent fund
drive by the Canadian Bible
Society, returns are considerably
lower than a year ago.
Treasurer Howard Ince
reported a total of $590 had
been received by Tuesday night.
Due to a misunderstanding,
some portions of the town have
not been canvassed as yet.
Ince asks that if anyone
wishes to make a contribution
to this worthwhile cause they
leave their donations with him at
the Bank of Montreal.
Usborne wants
payment for fire
Usborne council has a $400
fire call bill they want Exeter
council to help pay.
The bill came about as the
result of a car fire in Woodham
in August. The Exeter Fire
Brigade was called, but declined
to answer the call due to a
misunderstanding as to the exact
location.
Mayor Jack Delbridge
explained that at the time it was
understood the car was on the
Blanshard side of the highway
and the caller was advised to call
the St. Marys brigade.
The latter force arrived on
the fire and found it was on the
Usborne side of the highway and
billed Usborne $400 for the call.
Usborne council has now
suggested Exeter pay the
difference between what they
would have charged for the call
and what was charged by St.
Marys. The difference is about
$265.
Exeter council decided
Monday to consult with their
solicitor before making any
decision.
Ironically, it was noted at the
meeting that the car which
caught fire was probably valued
at less than the St. Marys fire
call.

Capacity of the $4nders. :Street
substation„that is owned by the
.Ontario Hydro,
To provide for these
.constantly increasing loads, as
well as providing a still more
reliable source of electricity, the
Exeter PUC has erected new
substation on Wellington Street
that now serves the area north. of
..Sanders Street.
This substation was erected at
an approximate cost of $45,000
and Was paid for out .0 existing
funds, It' was anticipated that a
small debenture would be
required to finance this work,
however, this was not necessary,
This station has a capacity
approximately 25% greater that
the. Sanders Street Station.
The Exeter P.V.C. received a
large increase in the wholesale.
cost of power last year and has
received another small increase
for 1969. While the Commission
cannot continue to absorb the
increase without some
adjustment to its customers, the
erection of this new station
should greatly reduce any
increase that may become
necessary.
By providing its own
substation, the Commission
purchases approximately 50% of
its power requirements at a
reduCed rate.
The Sanders Street Station,
owned by Ontario Hydro, will
still remain in operation to serve
the areas south of Sanders Street
as well as small areas on the
fringe of Sanders Street.
