Municipal Tele- phone System is the seeozid largest in the Province of Ontario; it serves ep- proximately 865 sitbscrribees. Almo4 the entire number are .petitioners to the system, and in that way are part owners and are interested personally in the success of the undertaking. One could easily say, without fear of contradiction, that the outside plant and equipment are second to none in the Province. Their success and posi- tion in the telephone field. are (no doubt due to the promoters and the energetic commissioners, who have devoted all sorts of time to this pro- position without any thought of com- pensation other than the fact th t they were satisfied with the knowl- edge that they were serving,'sthe municipality and ratepayers to the best of their ability. Their lines serve one of the most prosperous farming sections in Ontario as is plainly evi- denced by the large number of very fine residences and well constructed barns. The annual rate for telephone ser- vice is $11.87. This is supposed to cover all service and maintenance charge; which amount to $10.24 per annum. The balance is applied to the debenture debt. This rate is very low bat the subscribers are expected to supply all necessary dry batteries. This, to my mind, is the only weak point in the management of the sys- tem, as one can apply the old saying, `What is everybody's business is no- body's business,' and a condition Iike this is bound to affect transmission. During our visit we tried to impress the Chairman of the Commission and the Troubleman eve' r the idea that they should take charge of the bat- tery' portion of the maintenance work with one inspection at least a year, which could be handled very nicely in connection with a general inspection which is made by the Company's Troubleman. I believe this very im.- portant matter of supplying batteries will be given serious consideration, and should they adopt our recommen- dation the rate of $11.87 per annum would be advanced to at least $15.00 per station. Phe Company is to be congratu- lated on having a first class construc- tion man. Mr. H. Dalrymple, who accompanied me on my inspection of their plant, also at Bell exchanges, is a real expert in clearing trouble; in fact I have yet to meet his equial on connecting company work. He has been supplied with several test sets, one of which is a Detectometer cali- brated to read resistenee in Ohms which enables him to detect line joints of high resistence. Drop wire run-offs and practically all connections, in- cluding grounds -wires, are soldered. Bridging connections are an unknown quantity and are not used on branch line taps, thus eliminating a possible chance at these particular points for rusty wire connections. I might ex- plain what makes this condition pos- sable. in so far, tests for locating trenble are concerned ned in hie .use of a & were Cabl4enan's Test t, which with the aid' of an,'explordn eeil will locate `grounds, shorts a4 crosses- either rosses either in open or covered • rep 'wires and in ,leer's time ishan it take1 o epee, test .and close the line when wing eke dinary lineman's teat set. This I can verify as 1 na11 , tried it out on a ease of trouble, , .The time saved by the use of teat aets that facilitate the locatieig of rural Iine, trouble more than justifies' the cost of the set. At this point I would like to men- tion that after sleet storm repairs it was afterwards decided that all hand made joints on No. 12 iron should be soldered. Mr. Dalrymple used a very ingenious method operated from a one -ton truck, using a pot and ladle to solder the joints without taking down the wire. Steel sleeves are now used on all joints. Ordinary soldering is done with the aid of a Presto Light soldering out- fit. It can be attached to a lineman's belt to be carried up on a pole job, and is not lighted until required. Very windy days or zero weather does not prevent or delay the making of first- class soldered connections, and fur- thermore, an eight years' trial has proved it a success. Personally I am of the opinion that if other connec- tion companies, some of which are not strong on soldering, could be supplied with this simple and quick method, their maintenance costs would be re- duced and transmission improved. The trend of business from their Clinton, Seaforth and Hensall circuits is to adjoining towns, including Lon- don, Stratford and Toronto. I visited quite a large number of the subscribers and found in the ma- jority of cases they were well posted as to the different classes of L. D. service. To those who were not so well posted, I gave the necessary in- formation and impressed on all con- cerned the usefulness of the telephone and cited different things which could be handled to the swbscri'bers' advan- tage by the use of the L. D. lines. All were unanimous in the opinion that the L. D. service was very satisfac- tory. Tuckersmith Company have no pay stations with coin collectors. They own the Clinton -Bayfield rural cir- cuit, to which Bayfield subscribers are connected, and are paid to main- tain Bayfield (other companies') sets. I understand that considerable sum- mer business would be available if toll customers were not compelled to talk over a rural circuit on which sub- scribers listen in on conversations. We are recommending to the Com- pany the building of a separate cir- cuit. Cable Plant. This Company has over 9,200 feet of No. 19 guage 50 pair' double wrap- ped paper covered cable installed a few years ago by their maintenance man. It is used to carry the Clinton circuits. A good job was made of the installation, and a meager test proved cable to be in first-class con- dition. Open Wire Plant. The open wire plant is made up of No. 12 galvanized iron wire. Steel sleeves are used. They have some rusty wire, but generally speaking this part of their plant is in fairly Notice to the Public. Having purchased the Flour and Feed Stock of Mr. W. M. Stewart, I will continue the n business at the present stand on Main Street, and will be pleased to serve all his old Cus- tomers, and as many new ones as possible.

Pole -Plant. The pole .plant ie in splendid condi- tion -all Jeads are well guyed -very fete broken pins or split crass -arms were found, and on terminal poles the crone -arms were not out of line er tilted as is sometimes the case. This condition is due to the inventive method of the maintenance man who abandoned the pins to get a centre pull on the arm by wrapping the line wire around the cross -am, , using strain insulators between the arm and the line wire. • The results obtained seem to make this method worth while. We noticed a rebuilt three 10 pin arm pole lead of 30 ft. poles on the Kippen Road that has all the ear marks of a "Bell" lead. Drop Wire Plant. All drop wire run-offs, all splices are soldered, bat only one kind of tape is used. We recommend the use of both rubber and friction tape. House brackets of galvanized iron and porcelain knobs are used to insul- ate drop wire on poles and subesta- tions. Bell methods are followed on fastening wire, and is the result of ob- serving our methods on urban cir- cuits at Clinton, Seaforth and Hen- sall- Sub Station Plant. Approximately 10 per cent. of the sub -stations are Northern Electric, and 90 per cent. Stromberg-Carlson. The new installations are well done, and bhe others are in fairly good con- dition. Copper black and No. 60t pro- tectors are used at some stations. They also use a saw tooth (Reliable type) protector also No. 400 type. The latter has large carbon blocks that are connected directly in the line (talking) circuit. Mr. Dalrymple has the right idea when he rearranged all No. 400 type protectors so that line carbons will not form part of the line and yet afford the same protection as the No. 60 N. E. type. The main trouble discovered at sub- stations was weak battery, and is ow- ing to the present method of replac- ing dry cells *hen Bell operators re- port a case of "Can't be heard," or in leaving it to the rural subscribers to make a request that Tuckersmith maintenance man bring new battery. A practice that is not conducive to goods service, which this splendidly managed system is otherwise enjoy- ing. In addition to inspecting the Tuck- ensmith System I also inspected and tested the Bell Central Office Equip- ment at Clinton, Seaforth and Hen- sel], who handle the circuits of this system, including their trunks. A bridge test was made on Hensall-Clin- ton and Hensall-Seaforth circuits, which were found unbalanced. We noticed slight cross -talk on Seaforth- Hensall circuit, but this may be partly due to cable trouble now being at- tended at Seaforth by Bell Company. The Tuckersmith maintenance man will attend unbalanced conditions on their circuits. t hand changes -I regret to say that our now being attacked, and the youthful voters will never regret casting their first vote in maintaining this great inheritance, the O.T.A.

The Conservative pax .y had time and again "when tills, .w,ets the only issue," helped the other" rty organ- ization voters to ask :pi'ement for its further reduction anal stringent law enforcement. Their anly hope to overcome the voice of Life people in this way would be to procure a .pasty leader that would make the prohibi- tion element believe he *as working for their interests, when, in reality, he was granting their liquor oiton- ents every concession '=he possibly could get his parliamentary followers in the House to accede to. To many of us it is clear that How- ard Ferguson has served his appren- ticeship and has proved'.•himself fully qualified to fill the 'bill, and is bold enough to make the manufacturing, selling and absorbing of the intoxi- cants the main issue in procuring an- other term of Ieadership in the House. On December let there will, therefore, be two contending parties, the one known as Rum•Noward Fer- guson, the other as o the Prohibition Nickel, Sinclair, Raney Party. The former are'an amalgamation of the liquor element, the latter, the joining together of those formerly divided on election day by minor differences.

ELIMVILLE Anniversary Services. -Sunday last was all that could be desired for an anniversary day and the large crowds who filled this church to overflowing, both morning and evening, were not disappointed in their expectations, as the two ministers for the day, Rev. Irwin, of Centralia, in the morning, and Rev. Clysdale, of Exeter, in the evening, gave two addresses which were both interesting and uplifting. The service of song was led by a large choir which also rendered an anthem at each service. The male quartette Messrs. Wm. Johns, Alvin Pym, Bruce Cooper and Will Elford, also sang a selection at the morning service, and Miss May Clarke sang a beautiful solo' in the evening. On Monday night a record number were fed- at the tables in the basement, over six hundred tickets being sold.
