A-quiet:wedding took place at the
manse, Hensall, on Dee 23rd, when
Rev, 1. 311ct;, Smiifrb ..;.
ceremony whi..h united" in marriage,
Miss Frieda, daughter of Mr and Mrs
Henry Thiel, and Mr John Gillman,
both of Zurich. They returned on
Monday evening from a short wedding
trip and will take up housekeeping in
the house occupied' by. Mrs Rupp.
Apainfnl accident occured on Tues-
day at the farm of Mr John A Smith,
Goshen Line south, which might have
proved more serious. .Mr Smith was
driving a team hitched to the wagon,
which was heavily loaded, when the
bolt connecting the cloubletree and
whiffletree broke, and the whifl'let•ee
flew back and the hook at the end
caught in the side of his face. A nasty
gash resulted which required many
Stitches to close. Dr 13 A Campbell
dressed the wound.
At the next.rrieetiug of the Ontario
Legislature. it is probable that an net
will be passed giving municipalities
the power to place a poll tax of ,,x,35.00
per head upon every unmarried man
between the ages of 20 and 60 years.
There are thousands of men in Canada
who practically do not contribute one
cent to the upkeep of the municipal-
ity, in which they reside. They use
the sidewalks enjoy the lighted streets
and in everyway receive tbe same ben-
efit andprivilege as the,ptonerty own-
er or house bolder, who pays the tax-
es. In these times of war they should
pay their share and $5.00 is riot too
much to pay for all the privileges
they enjoy.

Plattsville Likes ' Hydro.
WL. Siebert, Peville, Dee. 30th, 1916
. latt
Dear Sir:—
I am in receipt of
your favor of Dec. 20th inquiring ' as
to bow Plattsville is suited with Hydro,
anl-in reply would say that it is the
greatest blessing that ever happened
t .. ?lattsville. It is perfectly . satis-.
'taetory to everybody.. I can safely
sar•1 that their is not 'aperson in the.
village who is in any way dissatisfied.
with ib, although' we had a few opposed
to it in the start.
.±t We .pay the Hydro Commission
x$49,00 per H. P. for our power and
we soli it to domestic merest 6c per
kw, with a small .extra charge for floor
sjaoe and to conimercial'users for 12c
per lv..,: with no floor sptkeee,4harge.
The rate to power users is graded ac-
cording to the Blass they select, but
naanatter what plan they purchase it
under it is cheaper power than can be
produced from any source except water
power. Eckel's have a 15 H..P,
mclear and a 40 H,' P. motor, Rouse
has a 5 H. P. motor, we have only put
in a 10 P. motor so far, as we have
to •iaye_5team for heating, we also have
a 9r< h. p. motor to run our sewing
machines and their are a number of
these in the village used for small
power the blacksmiths also use it.
You ask what Eckel's power costs
him, their power bills have been runn-
ing from
unsing.from $125.00 to $200.00 per
moth lately. We noticeyou speak
of the statement in the Echo, from it
yot will see' the village made nearly
$211 0.00 profit during the first years
ape ration; and you can understand
ti, the first part of the season we did
1;aye any great
e amaverage ountcostof custotornout-
e now have' 90 lighting custom -
`f
eib��rs� iitht r b..
rttzi rk6n :a 1.25 per.moatb. In
re
inc to street Tights would say
that'we have 82, which we have char-
ged up at .$16,00 per light per year to
he ,illage, It would not make the vill-
age any richer or poorer were we to
charge either more or less for these
lights as they are.both the buyer and
seller, and we would pay the same for
our power if we never used any street
lights, and we would not pay any more
if we used twice as many, as our peak
load is made through the day. Our
street lights run all night, come ' on
and go off with a time clock and require
no looking after whatever.
-"In reference to farmers using the
power, would say that while we have
this under consideration we have not
been able to get enough of them to
club together to make it worth while.
\\Te could run lines oat from the vill-
age in almost every direction if we
could get the fanners to take hold of
it. ' They do not seem to realize the
advantages to be had from it and none
of us have had the time to, press the
matter on them, Should you have
any farmers along the line which your
power is delivered on to the village it
is a very simple matter .for them to
club together, have a transformer plac-
ed on a pole and get their light and
power the sante as if living in the vill-
age,
There are always a few who will
knock a proposition of this kind, we
had to contend against an argument at
first that the taxes would be raised in
the village on account of Hydro, which
is absolutely itnpossible. You will
find that the•Hydro Commission will
not allow a plant to be installed in
your village until they satisfy them-
selves that it will be self supporting,
and if you will refer to our Hydro
operation Echo statement, you will see
how the debentures are provided for
nut of the surplus web year. The
price we charge to our customers is re-
gulated by the Hydro Colinnission who
fix it at a point 'which will accumulate'
a surplus, as soon as this sun plus, re
aches a certain stage they reduce our
rates,
I hope the above information will
give you an intelligei.it idea of the
workings of 1-lydo.power t.ith us and
I am certain that if your t, wn adopts
it they will be as highly pleased as we
