Municipal Ownership Discussed
THE TOWN HAS CROSSED THE
RUBICON—WILL TEST A BY-
LAW ItE AN ELECTRIC LIGHT
PLANT.
At the adjourned public meeting on
Monday evening for the purpose of
discussing the advisability of the
Council's submitting as by-law to the
ratepayers to raise $20,000 by deben-
tures for the establishment of an elec-
tric Tight plant to be controlled by the
municipal corporation, it was decided
by a vote of those present that the
Council should submit such a by -late,
with a view to 'laving the agitation
settled as soon as possible. On mo-
tion Mr. N. D. Illusion was asked to
take the chaiv and Mr. Jos. Senior to
act as secretary. in •a short address
Mr. Hu►don explained the object of
the meeting and stated that Mr. Lev-
ett and Mr. Connor had prepared re-
ports upon the matters of expense and
revenue with regard to a plant. Ile
then called upon Mt'. Lovett, who gave
a detailed report. Ile estimated that
the cost of a plant to install would be
$20,000, yearly expense $4,800, gross
yegrly revenue $5.000; leaving a net
revue of $2110 per year to cover the
decline in value of the plant, which
the speaker did not think very encour-
aging. Mr. Connor was then called
and stated that he did not believe go-
ing to the river and building a dans
would be a paying investment. He
advocated the installing of a gas en-
gine to run the plant, and estimated
that such a plant would cost $18,000
and would yield a greater revenue at
-a lesser expenditure. He also stated
that if he and his brother were given
the running of such a plant they could
make a good revenue for the town.
Mr. J. N. Howard was asked to ad-
dress the meeting. He stated that
half the expense money used in a
;plant went "up the flues' and ridiculed
the idea that there was not sufficient
water in the river to run a plant satis-
factorily for at least nine months of
the year. He also believed that the
ice taken from the pond would pay
the interest on the investment. The
speaker could not understand why the
town should entertain the idea of pay-
ing $8.000 for a plant that was, he
thought, not worth $5,000, when he
had previously sold a similar plant for
$3,200. Mr. Gladnian followed and
said that he thought an expenditure
of $20,000 an unwise step and would
rather see the money spent in the way
of encouraging some manufacturing
concern. He said that municipal own-
ership had not been proven a success
and that the best results are obtained
by private ownership. After some
further discussion it was moved by
Messrs. H. Spackman and A. G. Dyer
that since the matter of submitting a
by-law would involve only a small ex-
pen(litur•e, the meeting advise the
council to submit the by-law. The
motion was carried. The 'natter is
now in the hands of the council.

How the London Exhibition has

For thirty-eight years the people of
Western Ontario and points more dis-

Fair.
It has come to he recognized ns the

of this peninsula.
Small was its beginning. it can't

of its dimensions had ever been trade
to pay its way before.
But the Western Fair was establish-
ed on a solid and logical foundation.
It started nut to foster and develop the
agricultural and industrial arts. It
aimed to make farmer's better farmers;
to make artisans better artisans; to
keep the people posted in a practical
way in the general progress of the
world.
It has adhered closely to these lines,
and is now the foremost agricultural
and industrial annual fair in North
America from an educational stand-
point.
Its entertainment features are al-
ways clean and bright. This year the

Exeter's Big Fair -4906
BUILDINGS ARE ENLARGED --
GROUNDS IMPROVED- PRIZE
LIST REVISED — PREPARA-
TIONS COMPLETE TO ECLIPSE
AI.I. PREDECESSORS.
Active preparations have beeu and
and are now under way for one of the
largest, best and Most complete Fall
Fairs at Exeter that has ever been
held in the history of the Stephen &
Ushurne Agricultural Society. The
date bas been set for Monday and Tues-
day, September 18th and 19th.
For some time past the society has
been considering big improvements
to the grounds, buildings and other
equipments. With this end in view
at. the last annual Meeting a live, ac-
tive and energetic directorate were
elected and entrusted with the prose-
cution of the work. A visit to the
grounds will demonstrate the fact that
that directorate has been alive to their
duties, that the confidence Inas not
been misplaced and as a result the so-
ciety can now boast of one cf the most
commodious, well arranged and best
egiu ped exhibition grounds in West-
ern Ontario. An addition of 40 feet
has been placed on the Palace at a
large cost. The construction is first-
class throughout and not only adds to
the appearance of the building, enlarg-
ing the floor space and otherwise im-
proving the property, but makes it a
building worthy of the moue "Palace."
New pens for sheep and pigs have been
erected and conveniently located. The
old root shed has undergone a thoro-
ugh course of repairs and has been
converted into well -arranged stalls to
he used for the care of thorough -bred
stock while on exhibition. New rings
for the exhibition of cattle have been
laid out, and the two rings formerly
used for horse judging have been con-
verted into one large ring and a little
at the south is another of sirnilar size.
These are to be used exclusively for
the judging of horses and will fill a
long felt want, the capacity being just
double that of the old rings. Ticket
sellers and the Secretary have been
provided with an excellent little office
on the site of the old one, and the
interior appointments are complete.
A new wire fence has been erected
front the Grand stand to the offices at
the south-west corner, while a close
hoard fence has been built along the
south boundary.
Upwards of $1200 has been expended
in the work of repairs, thus demon-
strating that the Society has spared
neither pains nor expense in making
the grounds thoroughly up-to-date. a
credit to the Society and also the com-
mittee who had charge of the work.
Large lithograph posters have been
printed, announcing the dates and
other particulars and will be sent out
in a few days, while the prize list,
which has been thoroughly revised in
the various branches is being mailed
to the many members. Liberal prem-
iums are offered,open to all,and fairly
distributed among many departments,
a large portion going to the live stock
classes,, Altossesgether, therefore, the executive
feel justified in promising that Exeter's
Great Fair for 1905 will eclipse all its
predecessors.
The people of this community have
always shown the highest appreciation
for Exeter Fair and we feel that in
wishing the Society every success, we
but express the sentiment of everyone
in this section of the Province.

Hibbert
Harvesting is well under way in this
locality and the buzz of the binders is
everywhere to be beard throughout
the country. From all indications the
wheat promises to be good, while oats,
barley and peas never looked better.—
We heartily congratulate the pupils
at Hibbert Separate School; all who
wrote passed at the recent entrance
examination. But one, James J. F.
Dalton, is especially worthy of atten-
tion. We hold hien to bean exception,
since he passed at the early age of ten
years. Being the oldest of the family,
he could not attend school until he
was seven years old. Thos we notice
in three years' time he has become
roaster of the common school course.
He intends going to the Seafor•th Col-
legiate after the holidays. We wish
him similar success in his future ca-
reer.
