Engineer Wilson of the Hydre Commission will have the matter in charge said the ;distributing station will be built in Exeter, not twc miles south as at first proposed. The distributing station will be built south of the water tower, behind the Public Library, and will be a small building about 18 feet square, erected largely of cement and. steel, The main power litre Will run from St. Marys to Exeter largely by way 'of what is known as the St. Marys .•rood, passing'. through Woodham and Kirk - ton. East of Woodham a branch will run off to Granton.,' From the Exe- ter distributing station it is propos- ed to ' build a line back the Lake' Road to Dashwood, with a branch run- ning souin from near Sodom to Crediton and one 4 -tinning , north from Sarepta to Zurich. :Frog Exeter a line will run north to ,Hensall along the London.
