Hydro Meeting
Mr. Castor Engineer of the .'hydro
Electric Commission was in town on
Tuesday last "interviewing a number
of prospective nears of hydro power.
In the evening Jt:' addressed a public
meeting in the basement of the: new
"Carnegie Library,
Mr: 13 'W. 1' "i13eavers ,was appoint -
to the chair and uitroauced , the
speaker.
14Ir. 'Castor said he, figured on( Exe-
ter takifng aboat'200i h. p. end in the
surrounding villages all told ',bout
'350 lt.p. Of The amount contracted
for the town were fable for only'
three -quarterly of it. Thus if Exeter
contracted for '200 h,p. the would' be
liable for only' 150, If Exeter could
Use more than 200 hep, the . prise
would come doSvn. The proper way
to hlnndle drtrdro power is to buy it
once and sell it twice. Whatever b.p
is purchased ,from the Commission is
for a 24-hour service. The town
then sells it for power in t;hte day
time and 'for lighting at .niglbit.Thc'
town, however, have not thesetting
of the rates. These. are set ,by the
comimi,ssion. So eruch is charged for
domestic purposes, Iso !much for-comu
nrercial, for street lighting and,power.
For house lighting so much is cihlaxlged
for tfloor area land, over thati so much
per killowat hour,' The lighting char-
ges would be considerable less ;than
at present and consequently much
more would be used. There is . no
extra for meter.11r. Castor said the.
1 charge is so smell ^t.]itR: When a hbuse-
bolder gets ,1.1'1,w -first bill he is so sur-
, prised he begins immediately to use
the service more freely and will iru
stall different electrical appliances
Mr. Castor 'stated there were a
number of prospects for power cus-
tomers in town and that we should be
able to sell them power any -where
j from ,$'30.00 to $50;00. Power Jess
'than $165.00 per hip. is cheaper than
steam said the speaker
The cost of [building a line to Exe-
ter 'includes the cost of a distributing
station but does efbt. include .the/ cost
of wiring town. ' The town would
I have to be aeeviesel completely for
street lighting purposes and this as-
pense would have, to be paid) by tbre
town. The bettertibl` lighting sys-
tem the more it ai•ill cost.
An estimate will. ,be prepared and
sent here to be voted on bynnhe pect-
ple. It will cover all the .eiist.
The question:: was`. asked whether or
rootthe houses inn yto,wre \would have
to ' tie rewired:'• Any , •thous,;. properly,
wired that will passe the inspection
will do for hydro power. The average
seven roomed house ,would cost about
330.00 to wire.
Letter from. France
The following interesting letter was
reeeiyed• b3 Mrs. S. Fitton from the
firing line in France, written b3' her
nephew Mr. Roy Drew.
The weather here is getting fine.
Spring will soon be here and then
something doing.
1 am always glad to receive papers
as it is pretty lonesome over here
witbout any news. although, the men
who l',andie the mail deserve great
credit. The service is fine.
The. next Pew months, I think, will
determine the length of the war
We could only tvait during the win-
ter, but now-- Do not underestimate
the German power. You have no
doubt heard that the German Infan-

good lot of fighters. Some were
