Since starting the coa,structiof the concrete road on '''Street in Exeter much has been garding the matter at nutting na siinilar road on Station street. That such a road is badly needed there' is no doubt and now that the road machine and the whole equipment is here in runn- ing order and a good force of men, who are well ate to handle the job, would it not be weal for our council to consider the matter and give it something more than a .passing thought. We don't think it would be fair to put this road down, at the. ex- pense of the ra,tepay.ers of Exeter generally because they would not de- rive the general benefit, therefore we consider that a large amount of the ex- pense of the road should be bowie by parties doing the largest amount, of teaming over it, It would be of greater practical benefit to them team those mho have no teaming to do, or make use of it in a;ny other ways What we would suggest is that com- mittees be £'ormed an the three ad- jacent townships, Hay, Usborne aped Stephen. and also Exeter, to be com- posed of a"espective residents of each municipality, to (receive subscriptions to raise a part of the necessary ,funds and in this way the money could be subscribed by those who would receive the greatest benefit Then whatever balance that would be necessary to complete the Work could be raised by the toter assessment provided suffi- cient wan raised the other way to war- rant the undertaking of the project. The suggestion has already been en- doresed by a large number of the residents; of each municipality interest- .ed,and are urging that action be tak- en at once, in ender to arrange for the undertaking of ,the work as soon as 'Main street bas been completed. It may also be stated that those who are most interested will subscribe liberal- ly to putting the project through. Now is the time to take action; and it would b well the Village Council to meet, form a committee of them- selves and then approach ;interested parties of the other municipalities, -Exeter Council Monday, July 12, 1924, Are regular meeting ft ehtni Municip- al - alCouncil, with all the members present. The minutes of the meeting held June 28th were read and approved,.

E. Middleton. When private capital is invested in any great hydraulic plant for the generation of electric energy, the natural desire of the. Directors is to produce as large a return as possible to the men who risked their money in a costly veheure. Every business consid ration justifies such a desire. The r cies careed to consumers must bu cientl attractive as compared tit t e cost pf steam-poever, but no other c ettxRstance compells low rates un ess another plant is competing in the same market. When two private enterprises are thus in opposition a "veered". may be effected for the stabilization of rates and the pro- - fitable ro--frtable operation of the joint pro- perties. Under such circumstances the consumer has no relief. The Company charges "all the traffic will - bear," and smiles --even as the cat which has just eaten the canary. Most of the weterfalis worth de- veloping occur in large rivers which are navigable in some of their course, and thus conte under Government jurisdiction. The doctrino of "riparian rights" has never been pushed as far in Canada as in Great Britain.. Nothing is clearer than that the potential energy of a falling stream rs public property. Therefore private development is pueri' a only to such individuals as have been able to beg, purchase, lease or "acquire" the public rights. In these tunes there is a growing opinion that the gifts of nature to the whole people should not be alienated for the advantage of a Iucky few. That opinion is the reason for the establishinaent and the phenomenal growth of the Hydro Electric Power System; , ' organized by municipalities in .. co-operation; guaranteed by Provincial authority, and administered for the public .ad- vantage by a Provincial Commission., The most striking achievement of this Commission has been to es- tablish rates which • private Com- panies have been forced to meet:. for -the general advantage of the- con- sumer. In Ontario • the era- of high prices for electric energy is 'over. More than that, in districts where the Hydro is not a factor, the private Companies controlling the field have been compelled. to adjust their, rates so that the contrast between them, and the rates offered in this Province will. not be. so striking as to cause complaint. It is not unnatural that some private irteaests regard the Hydro enterprise with distaste, bat any one can see ns`herc the consumer's advantage lies, lirivtate monopoly of a public utility Brews more and more unpopular.

The baseball game between Zurich arae sour boys held in Zurich Tuesday eveni . f east week ;proved an im- nterne rnrise to all.
