MIGHTY POOR TIME SERVICE.
To Editor of Advocate:—
Is it not high time the Exeter
Council took action in the matter of
giving the citizens a better time ser-
vice I1 the thing goes on there is
no telling where this varigated time
service wil: land us. We will urob-
ably be taking our dinner when we
shoulo be taking our supper, and
soma- day we may be left home when;
w: should be in London,. Toronto or
some other place. For some time
there was an excuse that there was
no clock or governing timet piece by
which to keep the town clock right,
but I have learned that that. can no
longer be an excuse, as a clock has
been installed in the Town Hall for
that purpose. It is an easy matter
to get and give the, citizens railroad
time by simply calling oni the •shone
to ou obliging station agent, Mr.
Dare who, I am, sure, would', be .pnly
toe pleased to give the desired in-
formation. I remember the Advocate
referring to this matter before, and
why the council has not. taken ap .he
suggestion and corrected this provok-
ingly. ,poor service I am at 'loss to
say Better we had no time service
at all than time that is ..ifteen nr
twenty minutes too fast or, too slow.
