The A LONG WALK ' Mr. Fred Siouan, who spent most of the summer with a'`Chautauqua company travelling in. the United States, arrived. home last week. There is nothing strange about that, of course. He was abound to return home sometime, he always does re- turn; we hope lie always will. The only curious thing about:it is that instead' -of arriving in one of. Sir Henry Thornton's palatial carriages he came on foot, all the way from Chicago, a nice, sizeble little jaunt, as anybody will ediriit. Fred 'al- ways had a'"weakness" far walking. Ile has taken donee lengthy walks in his day but this. is the longest yet. The following story, which appeared in .Saturday's Free Press, tells the reasons which -Made' him cho0se''the "long`.trall" this time: "Fred "Sloman, who arirved home this week by train from Lucan, after walking from Chicago to Toronto and e ex - back to the Huron and Bruc , plained to the Free Press: to -day why ,he walked and -a few of the incidents �nroute.

Residents of that section as early as 1921 went into the ques- tion and 52 customers signed con- tracts, but because even' that number did not warrant the construction,: of a 'feeder lino 12 or' 13 miles long from Clinton; the proposition was dropped: S, F. Glass, ex-M.P„ for East Middle- sex, has again taken the natter up and he believes it'is possible to se - nee a sufficient number of custo- mers to have the line constructed. He is now in touch with. the engi- neers of the Hydro -Electric Power Commission of Ontario' with refer- ence to this question. In a, letter to Mr. Glass, Engineer J. 'J. -'Jeffrey explained•that if about 27 to 30:'farm contracts can be se- cured along the line between Clinton and Bayfield it will be possible to build the line under the Govextrment. bonus plan. The total- key: demand represented in the 52 contracts al- ready signed in Bayfield is estimated. at 35. Mr, Glass estimated that' at least 25 additional customers could. now; be secured in the village, thug bringing the total k.w. demand up to 45 to .50. Mr- ,Jeffrey further explains that the Minimum .requirements, on which a bonus for. construction can -be `ob- tained. is 15 k.w: per mile: Thus the the He.Vfield contracts would warrant the construction of •a line three miles long. -:'But as Bayfield is at least 12 or 13 miles from Clinton, ,where the feeders would commence; it would be necessary to secure' between 27 to 30 contracts in addition to those from the village.• Mr. Glassjleli.eves• it will be possi- ble to easily secure that number from the farmers along the roads on which the feeder lines will be built. He is taking the matter' up further and it is quite possible that the contracts will be signed in readiness for con- structions' -to be commenced next. spring." • goes up from $48 to $50. .
