W: Treleaven Principal NEW TELEPHONE BILLING MONTHLY BASIS From now on, new telephone sub- scribers will be asked to pay their bills for both rentals and longdistance, monthly. Old subscribers will be put on the monthly basis from July ist. next. . "What is the idea of monthly billing for telephone service?" the New Era asked Manager C. gumboil of the 13e1I Telephone Company today. "There is no great innovation" Mrs. gumboil answered. 'tin our plan to bill telephone rentals monthly. Al- ready the majority of our subscribers, the users of Long Distance Service, pay us on the monthly basis, and to add {i one -twelfth of the annual rental to this 1 regular monthly bill will make little difference to the average telephone user. • In fact, "Mrs. gumboil continued, "the average business man has become so accustomed to monthly settlements that he will he glad to see us fall in with what has become the settled cus- tom with electric light and nearly all kinds of services, Hence, while the Business nran will welcome the monthly billing plan be- cause it fits in with his system, the smaller householder will appreciate the fact that instead of paying out three months telephone rental in advance he will be asked for only one month; In the same way the initial outlay for the new subscriber will be less. From the Telephone Company's standpoint, "Mrs. RumboiI concluded, "while we must be content with small- er advance payments, yet monthly bill- ing will make rental adjustments easier and simplify book-keeping. In short, we will benefit chiefly because monthly billing is in the interests of our patrons alid what is of benefit to them 1.n the end will rebound to our advantage."

In way of comparison he laid before the council the appropria- tions received in adjacent counties by Agricultural Societies, as follows: County - No: Soc Amount Middlesex . 12 $1,235 Bruce 15 2,535 Perth 7 1,511 Latnbton 10 2,490 Grey 20 5,405 .Waterloo 4 3,243 Kent 9 3,395 Essex 5 1,600 Halton 5 2,400 Peterboro 10 3,745 While Huron County with 10 Societ- ies received but $250 or $25 for each Society. He asked the Council to consider a grant to each Society of at least $200. Mayor McMurray, of Clinton, sub- stantiated what Mr. Ellis had said and impressed upon the Council the fact that Agricultural Societies throughout the County were struggling for exist- ence and should have more support Cron: the County. The Warden advised the deputation that on Thursday morning a motion had been put in the minutes to discuss larger grants to Agricultural Societies and the mutter would be given con- sideration-, ' The delegation re -assembled at the Bedford Hotel and formed what is to be known as Huron County Agricultur- al Society, the purpose of which is to create a more friendly spirit among the Agricultural Societies of the Coun- ty—to enable them to confer one with the other and prevent as far as possible the over -lapping of dates of fall fairs, etc. The officers of the 'County Society are as follows:— President:—J.
