Dear Mrs. Gould,—
Your letter of April 22nd received.
last night which was forwarded from
Shornoliffe,.
Well Pm out to the sdene of host-
ilities air lea, we are in the third line,
of trenches at pxe5ent acting as res.
erves. we are supports for the firing
line. Most of our calsualties since we
came out hers have been caused by
eniperis, four being wounded and one
killed while they were out digcihag
trenches at ,night, we do rill our work.
at night going out. in pirt'lea to dig
trenches, burying the dead and, going
for rations, water etc. While going
for water a few nights ago one of
the boss had an earthen lister jug
shot out of his hand'k•y a sniper. You
aro tnnr:h safer in the trenches than
out with those partieb.
Last night we took a lot of Sandbags
up to the firing line. On oe'r way We
were caught be shrapnielis, four of
the boys being wounded; two of them
were right close to me, one being
wounded. ,in the arm and the other
in the jaw. I must have keen lucky as
the:sharpnel balls whizzed very' close
indeed. Of the other two. one was
caught in both legs,the other in the
head. There are some open gaps in
our trench which have been blown
out b5. heavy shells, the snipers take
advantage of .these gaps as re pass
to and fro.
'hea' can talk es they like about
the horrible sights of the Battlefield
but it hasn't got anything on the
',amen I'm thinking.
They are taking a trench or two
from the Germans ,e,vere night now
at this part of the front. This won't
help the spirits of the German arms
.ver; naudh. It is to be hoped we will
be able to drive then back into their
own coutrs before. long. We can hear
the Britia3 slept whistling overhead
all dee and night as ter'' go on their
eexrandof death into the German lines

mit a be -law to the ratepayers for
the 'purpose of raising enough ,none;

station and install a new lighting s3 s -

lost in drafting a be -law and making
the 'necessary' arrangements to get
the voice of the people and the date
set Lor the voting its Friday, July 16,
Twenty thousand dollars is required
for the 4e:stem and station _and this
spread over a period of 25 Scare
makes the yearly :coiet to the town
$1419.05 or about leen :wills on the
dollar. The system . becomes the pro-
perty of the town• inimediately upon
completion the 'town taking 25 years
to pas for it Hydro Electric • ;has
e
been one of th'ehie.f municipal topics
for some tints and the time 1,s now
opportune for the ratepayers to "de-
cide whether they 'want to .connect
up with h3 dro, a 24 houlr service, 'or
grant another franchise to the pre-
sent !Electric 'Light 'Company. (
as usual Exeter has moved slowly
and 'cautiously. Other towns slave

With the increasing of the power -
using municipalitiels. the cost has been
coming down and at the present time
we are iin a position to get a better
bargain than some, of the surrounding
places when the contracted for pow-
er. We want hydro. We const have
it sooner or later and it ie up to the
people 'to say whether this is the op-
'ortune time or not.
Bu3 ir.g out a franchise has plroven
a mighty costly -experiment for soma
of our neighboring municipalities and
should•the ratepayers of Exeter turn
down the hydro proposition the :.x-
1 tension of the present franchise Is
the only alterbative and in that case
the people's hands are tied during the
term. 'of 'the agreement.
' On another page will be found a
copy of the by-law. Study it careful-

areful-
ly and when convinced that 'now Is
the time for hydro, get out and boost
it.
