In appreciation of the patronage given them by their customers, a number of Clinton Merchants have decided to inagurate what will be known as Clinton Appreciation Day. Each wee, each of 25 par- ticipating merchants. is contribut- ing $3 toward a Treasure Chest, During the week, the partici- pating merchants will issue free tickets to all customers. These tickets will be panelled in varying amounts, ranging from five :per cent to 50 percent. The customer will sign his name to. the back of his tickets, and deposit them with the merchant. The first draw out of the Trea- sure Chest will be oh Saturday afternoon, October 15, at three o'clock at the Library Park. Own- er of the winning ticket will earn the percentage of the treasure chest which' is marked on the tic- ket drawn. The balance of the $75 will remain in; the chest, and the next week's contribution will be added to it, In this way the Treasure Chest will grow steadily in volume. One thing is important. You must be present to win. If a tic- ket bearing your name is drawn and you are not present, then a second ticket will be drawn until a winner is found. Final decision to participate In this Appreciation Day was made last Thursday, when a special meeting of the Merchants Com- mittee of the Chamber of Com- therce, a representative of Nat- ional Trades Day Association of Canada was present to answer questions. Tile plan has been in operation in' American towns for 21 years, and has proved very popular with the people. The merchants in four American towns have carried on for 21 years with- out missing one week's draw. In announcing the sponsorship of the Chamber of Commerce of the Appreciation, Day, Chairman Bert Gliddon said: "We hope that this. Day will show the people of Clinton that we, the businessmen and merchants of the town . are trying to do something for them. We hope also that it will show Clinton's merchants what a com- bined effort will do in promoting their business, and the town." It is understood that 25 mer- chants in Clinton are participat- ing. Tickets will be available next Saturday, October 8, and from then on. • .

Deseck, who was elected to the commission last December, re- cently moved to Stratford. The two objecting members said their interpretation of the Ontario Mu- nicipal Act was that any person qualified to be elected to the corn- mission orn'`mission must reside within a•five- mile radius of the municipality. Deseck, who said that his move may be just temporary, agreed to seek legal advice.

E. Perduecalled for a special meet- ing to discuss the petition of A. J. Deseek, Since Mr. Deseck is a commissioner he was asked to speak only as a petitioner during the discussion. Last fall when permission was granted for water service to the Deseck properties on the Base Line, an agreement was signed between the town clerk and Des- eck arranging that the owner pay 85 percent of the cost olf put- ting in the service along the front of the properties. The town a- greed to pay the cost of the ser- vice across the street: Since that time Mr. Deseck has paid over $300 to the town of the prescribed amount, which was to be slightly in excess of $400 al- together, After Deseck became a com- missioner at the first of this yeare he began a study of the existing by-laws, and noticed one worded as follows: "No extension of main or service shall be made unless the annual revenue to be derived from consumers in each extension shall amount to ten percent of the total cost of such extension, unless it appears to the Com- mission that some special circum- stanees exist which render it ad- visable to make the said exten- sion." This he interpreted to mean that under existing law, he was only bound to pay ten percent per year of the total cost, and that part of this ten percent would be paid by the amount of water used and paid for. Deseck asked to be released from the earlier arrange- ment -which he contended to be illegal. The PUC agreed to the request - Mayor M. J Agnew who is a member ex -officio of the ' PUC said he would have the town clerk immediately give back to the PUC, the amount already paid in, and the PUC undertook to make pro- • per arrangements with Deseek, Commenting on the matter, Chairman Perdue said, "You know Andy is to be commended for pioneering that part of town. Be- ,, fore he built the town 'got $7 or $8 worth of taxes. Now with three houses oh the land, taxes are a- bout $525." .
