We may further add that in no one instance, an.afar as we have been able to ascertain, has there beets a deficit. These being the facts you should be a booster of Hydro ;m- stead of a knocker.

Hydro is the best thing there is," was the burden of the ad- dresses delivered on the Hydro-Ekc- tric subject in the Totvn Hall on Tuesday evening, when the room was comfortably' filled, and the speakers were Mayor Copeland and Ex -Mayor Richardson of St. Marys, Clerk Geo, A Stanley of Lucan, and Engineer Castor of the Hydro -Electric Com- mission. Reeve Taylor occupied the chair. The speakers from St. Marys ,end Lucas gave actual facts as to the cost of the hydro system to the ratepayers anti together with the engineer they showed that theamount appropriated by the bylaw oe 520,000 was not a mortgage on the town to be paid by the citizens of the totvn, unless the whole hydro system became a nom- piete failure, and time has demon- strated that that is a physical impas-' sibility All the citizens will suer have to pay for in their taxes is the cost of the street lighting, and that wil' b.' about the same asi at present: All other cost is ,to be borne by light fusers and power users, who pay actual cost of the system. Which means to the person who is not a user •of' electric light in . his homehe wil be in the same position as now, that .is helping to pay for a. better street light at the same cost, ' and the uses of electric light or power n home or shop will get a 'better light and all the conveniences at a cost less than he is now oaying„ That seems, perfectly clear. There is no mortgage on the town. Tothe nonuser it costs no more, and, to the use] less than under the present sys- tem withbetter and mare lights and all the, conveniences thrown in for goes measare. Nobody wants any- thing better than that, and it would be really belittling the intelligence of the ratepayers of Exeter to attempt to maker anything more 'simple. We feel sure they understand and Caill vete unanimously to put Exeter on the Hydro System, the greatest boom Ontario ever had. The Exeter.
