Mr. Ross said he would hay $25 a year for the privilege, or if the Council wcc not satto[ictiw t wanted permission to Jay pities from the factory to the river mo water could he secured direct. The differ- ent Councillors were unanimous in believing that $50 a year each should be paid by Rose & Taylor and the elec- tric Ii;ht plant and $100 a year by the grist mill, 'the cost of operatire the pumping plant bein; about that amount. It was claimed :that it has been customery for these concerns to open up .the valves into their wells, thus makin; an unnecessary waste of water and emptying' tha town tank very shortly after it was filled. The decision was, however, held over until Monday night. Mr. S. Sanders presented a letter from the Municipal World eivin; unl , opinion on the assessment of a busi- ness tax.

A3 the band boys are in need of warmth in order to produce good music, they will bo .allowed to keep the stove and another ono se- cured for the market.

The Rev. A. I,. Russell, of Fingal, and formerly pas- tor of the James street Methodist church, conducted the services, de- liverine two very 4.hle sermons from texts suitable for the occasion. In his remarks itcv. Mussell stated tll•.1 he had preached to the \let hodiste of Exeter 40 years ergo, and several times outside his pastorate here and felt quite et home in addressine :an Exeter audience. A feature of the services and %which is deserve(); of special mention w•ai tits sin;in; of Mr. C. J. fink, tenor soloist of the Askin street church, London. Mr. Pink is a singer of the hi;her class, being possessed of a very sweet clear and silvery toned tenor voice of excellent rill ;e. His enunciation was perfect and 90 clear that every word uttered was distinctly heard and under -atom' in 011 Parti of the church, and had *the service b:en other than divine worship there is 00 doubt he would •have been vocifer- ously Applauded. Should Mr. Pink ever visit Exeter in concert or church work wo can bespeak for hint a bumper house. In the afternoon a mass meeting of Sunday School children and friends was held in the church and was largely attended. Mev. Russell delivered a Puitable address, Mr. Pink 'rendered severe' solos. Mrs. Rhea Scott Vernon, a graduate of Alma College, gave u very interesting reading in her usual I pleasing manner. Mrs. Vernon has by her :affability endeared herself to the people of Exeter and vicinity, who are pleased to hear her on all occasions.
