Exeter Council xIxoter, Monday, May 26., 1919 Reduction in Rates The Public Utilities Commission of town have received from the Hydro Commission the new rate schedule By it the citizens of Exeter receive a reduction in cost that will mean a saving of from $800 to $1000 an- nually. The reduction is not all that had been hoped for, in view of the assetts of the local commission. Three years ago Exeter decided to link up with the Hydro Electric. Debentures to the amount of $20,000 were issued to install the system. One hundred and fifty horse power were contracted for and the town was given five years to work up this amount. The latest power customer to be linked up with the system is W. G. Medd, of the Exeter Creamery, who is installing 20 h. p. This will make 150 h. p. that the town is us- ing. Of the $20,000 for extension purposes there is at present on hand about $1,700. The annual fixed charges and interest have been paid to date and there is a surplus 'from revenue of about $5,000 in the bank. The power from Hensel', Zurich and Dashwood is stepped down from the Exeter sub -station and the former two places have se- cured substantial reductions in rates. The present efficient system is due to a very great extent to the local man- ager Mr. H. W. Doerr, who is a thar- oughly efficient and capable manager having the situation well in hand. Following are the rates. Domestic Lighting — Formerly 51/2c per k.w.h. -for 30 k.w. hours 2%c. per k.w.h. for all additional Less 10 per cent. for prompt payment New Rate 5c. per k.w.h. for 30 k.w. hours 21a c. per k.w.h. for all additional Less 10 per cent. for prompt payment Oonunercial.

Martin, Premier of Saskatchewan, accompanied by his mother, -Mrs. (Rev.) W.NI. Martin, of London, and formerly of Exeter, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. F. LY_ Gladrnan over the 24th. This was Mr. Martin's first visit to Exeter since he became Premier of Saskatchewan He renewed many old acquaintances and visited the familiar scenes of his boyhood days. He attended Caven Presbyterian church, where for years his father was pastor. He noted many changes and expressed pleas- ure at the many improvements both in town and country. The old home town still retains a warm spot in the Premier's heart and the many friends of his parents and himself watch with pride the progress he is making and the masterly manner in which he is handling the affairs of his Prov- ince. His name is being prominently mentioned to fill the position of the late Sir Wilfred -Laurier, as leader of the Opposition in the House of Com- mons.

PROMOTION EXAMS The Promotion Examinations for the Public Schools of Huron will be held on June 25th., and 26th., 1919.

A. C. and at Whitley College at which teachers may qualify for an Elementary Cer- tificate in Agriculture.

Teachers attending these classes will receive free tuition. Their ex- penses will be paid at the close of the following school year. They will also receive a liberal grant annually for teaching Agricultural as prescrib- ed by the regulations. The spending of five or six weeks on the beautiful College grounds at Guelph with several hundreds of en- thusiastic teachers is an inspiration and a profitable holiday which all teachers should take advantage of. Mr. Russel Ralkwill of the Canad- ian Bank of Comerce staff, who re- cently spent his holidays in town with is parents, has been transfer- red from the Toronto branch to the branch at Ochre River, Man.

Exeter talkedpermanentroad for Main St. at a time when the rate- payers would have had to pay the whole cost. The time to act is when the government agrees to pay forty per cent of the cost.. Exeter boasts of her beauty spots: Her handsome homes and spacious loth; The flowers and trees that make life a sweet song, 'Tis such things that make life as we journey along. But alas for her roads! They're not bad we know, When the sun shines and soft zephyrs blow, But when spring comes and again in the fall, Its a difficult thing to use them at all The town sends good money and gets little in return, You'd think the citizens had money to burn, Now get down to business and use good judgment. And put down a good road by using cement. • *Monday June 2nd. the property holders of Exeter will be called upon to perform a duty to their town. For some time back the Council have been preparing data and gathering information in order that they might intelligently place the matter of a permanent front street before the electorate. Tilde- secured the servic- es of a competent engineer who has gone into the cost, construction, etc, i of a permanent street. He reports i that $37,000 will build a concrete street from the South boundary to the Thames Road, one and three - eights miles long varying in width from 20ft. to 36ft. Out of this the Government offers to pay about $12,000 leaving a balance of $25,000 to be paid for by the town. This amount will be spread over a period of 15 years, making an annual cost to the municipality of $2490.64. To . raise this amount would require a tax ' less than 31a mills on the present ! assessable property. To offset this !there is at present an essess- went through the county of 1 mill I for good roads, 90 per cent of which conies back to the municipality. It requires at least 111 mills to keep the front street up to its present de- plorable condition. Adding these two amounts give cost at present of two and one-half mills. The differ- ence between the assessment for the permanent road and the present a- mount levied would be about one mill. But to offset this there would be a considerable saving between the I cost of keeping down the dust on a concrete road and a gravel road a- mounting to several hundred dollars yearly. Add to this the increased a- mount you will have to pay to keep the present road np to a passable condition for the extra traffic of automobiles, trucks and vans and you will find a concrete road will be a matter of economy rather than ex- travagance. Had our fore -fathers not made corduroy roads thro here years ago where would we ae to -day" They did not reap the benefit of them but they were broadminded enough to see that they would be a benefit to the following generations. So with us if we do not get all the ben- efit of this street some one else will and we should be public spirited enough to think not only of the pre- sent but of the future. Let us show the progressive spirit and vote for the improvement. Capt. Harold Ramsay. son of Rea Dr. Ramsay. of Toronto, visited his grandmother. Mrs. Jas. Ramsay in town over the week -end. ('api. Ramsay has a wonderful war record and has been•decorated by the King with the Military Cross and Bar for his conspicuous bravery. He enlist- ed with the engineers and trained at Ottawa.
