ROAD FOR MAIN STREET WAS LET MONDAY NIGHT Work to Commence About May Ist. A.b'out 25 Men will. be Employed on Job.—Contract Price A- bout $6,000 ,. Above the Estimate The tenders for the concrete; pavement for Main St, were opened in the office of the Clerk, Jos. Sen-, dor on - Monday afternoon. The prices greatly exeeeded the estimate of Engineer Patterson, presented to the council and embodied in the by- law which was carried by the rate- payers last year. This was not a surprise to the council' as the sharp rise in the price of cement and la- bor since the time the estimate was prepared and the letting of the ,cou tract, made the putting down of the road ea the estimated cost impos- sible. The lowest tender was that of Mr. Hollingworth, of Hamilton for $41,566, the town to supply the gravel and the roller. At the council meeting Monday evening it was dis- covered that an error had been made in the pleas and specifications un- doubtedly through the misunder- standing on the part of the engineer that would inea,n a saving of about six thousand dollars on the contract price. This together' with some fur- ther reductions in the work which would cut the contract price some $8,000, brought the price down where it was felt the council would be safe in going on with the work. The Reeve explained that he be- lieved the citizens would be more pleased to cut down the width of the road than to do without it en- tirely. The contractor was agree- able to the cutting off of the amount from what the plans called for. The blue print called for a 36 footroad from Huron "to Welling- ton street while it was the intention of the council to build' it only as far as the Trivitt church. A further suggestion was made to reduce the road from 36 to 24 feet from Huron to Ann streets and from North to Gilley which would mean a saving of 'about eight thousand dollars. The contract price .for the seirb- ing-xis $2,880, one-half of which is paid for by the property owners on either side under the. Civic Im- provement Act. It was estimated that 4a10 yards of gravel will be removed from Mainstreet, two thirds of which will be good gravel and will be applied to the side streets of town. The town in this way should reap the benefit of gravel valued et about $2,000. Mr. Hollingsworth intimated to the council that he was ready to go on with the work as soon as the weather and conditions were favor- able. About 25 men would be re- quired for the work, nearly .all of this being local labor. FISH FINDS WAY TO CELLAR. Following the recent thaw when the creeks were swollen and the wa- ter backed up into many cellars, a tiny fish found its way into the cellar of Mr. W. J. Beer through the drain where it was found after the water hadreceded. LOCALS Mr, Clark Fisher of Usborne is on the sick list, Miss Jessie I3owey: is visiting her sister in London.

HYDRO -ELECTRIC POWER FOR THE FARM (Farm and Dairy) The election of a Farmer -Labor' Government has raised the question: What is to be tbe future relation- ship of the Hydro -Electric Interests and of the organized farmers of On- tario? For over an hour some weeks ago, Hon. Adam Beck addressed the recently elected U.F.O. members of the Ontario Legislature on matters relating to the Hydro -Electric inter- ests. So alluring and interesting was the picture he drew, not only of what has been accomplished, but what he hopes the development of the water powers of the province must yet mean for the improvement of conditions throughout the rural sections, that he was given an ova- tion on concluding his remarks. Thus the U.F.O. men in the Ontario Leg- islature showed that they are pre- pared to get behind the great enter- prise and promote its continued de s veloptnent in the interests of the people of Ontario. Last years farmers in Ontario, where two or more. fames to the axile used electricity, obtained hydro -elec- tric power at 88 or $9 a =oath, or $108 a year; Farmees wee stave used this power testify constaatla to its cheapness and efficiency. Because of this fact and of the general in- terest that is now being taken in the power question.'Farm and Dairy se-. cured a special interview early this month with Sir Adain Beck, the chairman of the Hydro -Electric Pow- er Commission of Ontario, on the uses and development of hydro -elec- tric power throughout the province: Demand for! Power Increasing "Although the, use .of electricity on the farm is oily in its.:infai:iby," said Sir Adain, "'it is bound soon to become a necessary and conlrnon ac- cessory to successful farming thru- out Ontario.' The rising cost of coal, gasoline and labor on tbe farm is causing and will continue to cause a constantly increasing demand for el- ectric power. The great advantages of electricity on the farm and in the household are fully appreciated by farmers." "Requests for information and ap- plications for Hydro -electric power from rural municipalities are coming to the Commission constantly. Far- mers are carrying by -laws --practi- cally unanimously in the rural dis- tricts, just as has been done in, towns and cities. Pickering township car- ried the by-law by a vote of 11 40 The need for cheap pow.er in agri- cultural and domestic operations is' just as evident' and important as' in industrial enterprises and railway operation. The adoption of hydro -el- ectric power means service at cost." Electricity en Dairy Farms Electric Energy supplants coal, gasoline and other forms of energy for every purpose, excepting heat, and even for heat to a moderate• extent, according to Sir Adain. It lends itself very favorably to the needs of the farmers in dairy dis- tricts. Many farriers who have used gasoline engines have , discarded them. For lighting and for heating water in the dairy, for churning, for pumping water, for filling silos, chopping feed, thresbing grain, for the cutting of wood, and so forth, and for li htin and doing cooking, x o g , g g g .
