GRAVEL SUPPLY
The Municipal Council of the
Village of Exeter desire to
draw the attention of all par-
tes who have promised to de-
liver road gravel for thepave-
inent construction on Welling-
ton street (or Station street)
that the supply of gravel is
needed and would ask that an
early delivery be made at once.
J. SENIOR, Clerk,
A deal has been put thru by
Messrs. C. B. Snell and R. N. Creech
whereby Mr. Snell gets the property
of Mrs. Sanders on Main street and
Mr. Creech gets the brick dwelling
occupied by MP. Snell on Andrew
street.
CIVIC PRIDE.
To the citizens who have any civic
pride it must be a source of some
satisfaction to hear the very favor-
able comments that are passed about
the new pavement on Main Street
by those who have been passing
thru or visiting our town. It used to
be common to hear the remark that
the • Main street was the worst piece
of road between London and God-
erich. Now we are told the new
pavement gives to Exeter an en -vi-
able reputation. Visitors have fre-
quently remarked that for neatness,
beauty, splendid homes and sur-
rounding country, Exeter,stands
in the front rank among thsmall-
er municipalities. The citizens might
be pardoned for the feelings of pride
they take in the, town. Civic pride
is a. splendid thing. We believe the
new pavement may even stimulate
the citizens to a 'greater desire to
improve and beautify their surround-
ings. Let everyone take a hand. -_

To the Citizegs of Huron County
On behalf of the Executive of the Huron County Temperance As-
sociation we wish to rna.ke an explanation as to why we are asking for
the suspension of the Canada Temperance Act.
On January 29th, 1914, The Canada Temperance Act was carried
by the people of Huron County and we had the advantages of more
than two years of prohibition before The Ontario Temperance Act was
put into operation.
The law has been well administered and splendid results have
been secured as a result of its strict enforcement and the only reason
for asking for its suspension is because the New Provincial Law is the
superior in many ways, embodying as it does may restrictions not cov-
ered by the C. T. A.
The Ontario Temperance Act can now be considered a perman-
ent prohibition act as it was adopted by the people last October by a
majority of over 250,000 after being on trial for three years.
In order that a change could be made from one Act to the other
the Dominion Government passed legislation in September 1917 giving
the power to the Governor -in -Council, to suspend the operation of the
C.T.A. in any County in response to a petition of twenty. five per cent.
of the electors.
It is now proposed tI1at such petition shall be prepared and the
local organizatipns area being supplied with the necessary forms to be .
circulated in their each municipality.
There will be no voting on the question as only tlxe petition is
required.
Among the many reasons that could be given for this change
the following may be mentioned:
1—The entire expense of enforcing the 0.T:A. is paid by the Province
,whereas at present the County Council is called upon to bear a share of
the expenses of the C.T.A.
2—The fines are much more severe under the O.T.A., some woing as
high as $2.000, while $100 is the heaviest fine that can be imposed un-
der the C.T.A.
3—The provision for enforcing the Provincial Act are better, es-
pecially in the matter of securing .evidence by searches and seizing of
liquor in transit, etc.
4 = It is also illegal under the O.T.A. for a person to have liquor he
any place except a private dwelling.
Your County,Offrcers have consulted with the Government and
License Board of Commissioners and are thoroughly convinced that it is
wise to make this change.. '
We ask for the co-operation of the Churches, Ministers, Church
members and local organizations to assibt in securing signatures to the
petition forms which will be circulpetition forms which will be rireul
of September.
It is desired that all petition forms he returned to the Field Sec
retary not later than September 20.
