COUNTY NEWS EXETER: With $17,857 in liquid hydro assets entered upon provincial hydro records, and only $E3,071 total hydro liabilities, Exeter has joined the lengthening list ef hydro muni- cipalities which are now considered to be out of 'debt in respect of their hydro undertakings. The total of Exeter's hydro reserves and surplus, NS entered in the latest municipal hy- dro report, is 87,987, comprised as follows: reserve for equity in hydro system, $25,888;, depreciation on lo- cal plant $10,515; other reserves, $85; debentures paid $12,797; and operat- ing surplus, $37,987. Exeter now has 560 hydro consumers as compared with 260 in 1917; horsepower used last year averaged 398 as 'compared with 123 in 1917; total revenue were $23,503 last year as compared with but $9,466 in 19'17; lighting reven- ues were $16535 as compared with $3,814 in 107; kilowatt hours sold for lighting M Exeter last year were 617,392 as compared with 46,636 in 1917 ;and plant capital is now valued at $51,600 ad compared with ;18,978 in 1917: Wlidi 2.5 and 3.4 cents per kilowatt hour' domestic and eommer- dal lighting rates last year, Exeter lighting consumers enjoyed an aver- age lighting rate of 2.68 cents per kilowatt hour. This compares with a rate of 8.17 cents in 1917 and is about half the 'rate payable to pri- vate power concerns even in -larger United -States towns.

Over 1,800 new rural Ontario hydro users were added to the people's power .system last year.

COUNTY NEWS EXETER: With $17,857 in liquid hydro assets entered upon provincial hydro records, and only $E3,071 total hydro liabilities, Exeter has joined the lengthening list ef hydro muni- cipalities which are now considered to be out of 'debt in respect of their hydro undertakings. The total of Exeter's hydro reserves and surplus, NS entered in the latest municipal hy- dro report, is 87,987, comprised as follows: reserve for equity in hydro system, $25,888;, depreciation on lo- cal plant $10,515; other reserves, $85; debentures paid $12,797; and operat- ing surplus, $37,987. Exeter now has 560 hydro consumers as compared with 260 in 1917; horsepower used last year averaged 398 as 'compared with 123 in 1917; total revenue were $23,503 last year as compared with but $9,466 in 19'17; lighting reven- ues were $16535 as compared with $3,814 in 107; kilowatt hours sold for lighting M Exeter last year were 617,392 as compared with 46,636 in 1917 ;and plant capital is now valued at $51,600 ad compared with ;18,978 in 1917: Wlidi 2.5 and 3.4 cents per kilowatt hour' domestic and eommer- dal lighting rates last year, Exeter lighting consumers enjoyed an aver- age lighting rate of 2.68 cents per kilowatt hour.
