STEAL MUSEUM'S
COIN COLLE TION
. Nearly 100 different coins,
bills and tokens were stolen
late Sunday night from a dis-
play in the Huron County
Museum. The thieves used a
screwdriver frequently in
their series of thrusts.
Curator H. Neill closed the
Museum shortly after ten
o'clock Supnday night- after
having a record day's attend-
ance. The loss was not dis-
covered until he opened the

It is believed that so e late
visitor to the Museu had
unlatched the rear door sehich
' is always kept locked and also
must have known about the
burglar alarm system which
was not set off. The burglar
or burglars had come prepar-
ed as the back of the glass
case which held these coins
had to have screws removed.
They else opened the till with
a screwdriver but all it con-
tained was pennies.
These coins, mounted on
cards identifying their dates,
country, etc., were the work
of George Currell. He start-
ed this collection eight years
ago. The coins can be easily
identified as only one side has
been cleaned and lacquered.

and Constable A. Sellars in-

these coins please notify the

Among the International

Increase of s19 Per Year Foreseen
For Goderich Domestic Water Users
At a meeting to be held soon,
possibly next, week, the P.U.C„
will decide on the fates to
charge to carry the planned new
‘,own waterworka system.
It is understood that the PUC,
has, received a letter from Dr.
A. E. Berry, general manager
of thezOntano Waler Resources
Commission, with a- suggested
interim rate. This suggested
rate will either be accepted or
some alterations suggegted.
Although the 'contents of the
letter have not been made avail-
able to the public, it is under-
stood that the suggested in-
crease in water rates is approx.
imately,100 per cent. ,This is
somewhat less than what was
predicted by the RUC., in a
story in The Signal -Star on July
14s 1060 — apprOXimately one
,year ag9. At that time the pre-
ldihted increase was about 135
per cent.
100 per cent raise in the water
Should the suggestion of al
rich P.I.T.C., then' the present
dOmettie rate of $1.75 gross and
$1.58 net per month will be -
per month, respectively.
In a year's -time, the increase
in rates to the domestic user
on the net charge basis would
amount to nearly $19.00.

sation with Dr. Berry, Mayor
E. C. Fisher was told 'that the
suggested interim rate would be
in the nature of a two-stage deal.
A supplementary rate might
have to be put into effect about
a year after the first one, after
it is knoein definitely the amount
af water that will be consumed
and the amount of revenue
which will come from it. -
The new yates will cOrlsider-
ably affect some industiles. For
example, where the present
water hill for one firm is about
$1,700 per annum, the new rate
will be about $3,100 per annum.
Where another industry's pre-
sent water rate is 'about $870
per year the new rate will be
about $1,600, per year. For this
reason, it is believed that some
Move will be made to give some
special consideration to indus-
