Issue of The Chronicle in Whole Trip. We received an interesting letter from Mrs. Kenneth Greer of Toronto last week. who has spent the winter months touring the south. Mrs. Greer was formerly Miss Marie Mighton. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George Mighton of Bentinck. and a year ago enjoyed a motor trip from Toronto through to California. then through the Southern States and on to Florida. Writing from Miami. Fla... under date of April 14, she says: “We have just finished an East Coast tour, taking route from Toronto to Buffalo, down to Harrisburg, Pa.. and over to Washington, D.C., visiting many historical towns and cities including Gettysburg and Mount Vernon. From there we continued southward to Rich- mond, Va. and through to Raleigh, N.C. This section is the famous to- bacco district and while there we saw 15,000,000 pounds of tobacco being cur- ed for Lucky Strike cigarettes.

According to Saturday’s Owen Sound Sun-Times. If reports received from different sections of Bruce county are correct, and. there is reason to believe they are, the clouds are beginning to clear in the power battle which has been waging since last summer, between the private interests as represented by the W. B. Foshay Co., of Minneapolis, pur- chasers of the Walkerton Electric Light and Power Co.. the Saugeen E1- ectric Light and Power Co. plant at Southampton and, the smaller plant at Wiarton, and the Hydro-Electric Power Commission of Ontario. Hydro May Purchase Bruce County, Plants The situation at Southampton re- mains the same as before the last vote was taken, as the Town Council has not yet signed the contract with Hydro although this is more a matter of form than anything else. It is expected that the contract will be signed at the next meeting of council. In the mean- time the Hydro people at Toronto have been in touch with the Southampton oflicials and it is said that some of the latter will visit the hydro offices in Toronto in the course of the next few days to discuss thé situation. Plants Appraised Engineers of the Hydro-Electric Power Commission have already made an appraisal of the three plants taken over by the Foshay company. The re- versal on March 11. when the electors of Southampton voted in favor of a contract with Hydro Commission, and the determined attitude of Hydro sup- porters in Walkerton has greatly aided in the move to open negotiations. Al- though two townships have voted to give the Foshay company a franchise 'for rural distribution, the demand is ‘.not sufiicient to warrant any large ex- Ependiture of money on the present Well authenticated rumors are afloat to the effect that negotiations have been opened which it is expected will finally result in the acquisition by the Hydro of all the power interests in Bruce, although until such time as the vote. has been taken in the town of Walkerton with regard to the wishes of the people with regard to Hydro no public anouncement will likely be The first move was made a short time after Premier Ferguson made his announcement in the Legislature that the Government would not submit to the Hydro being made an object of at~ tack by private power interests in the United States. The negotiations are only in the tentative stage, but suf- ficient information has been collected to permit the matter to progress rapid- ly it there is any earnest desire on the part of the Foshay interests to sell on t.

Plans have been consid- ered. .to tie in the Georgian Bay sys- tem with the Niagara system by a line to be built from Guelph to Hanover. An enlargement of the plant at Eu- genia Falls is also contemplated, and the future may see a change in the course of the Saugeen River to greatly increase the efliciency of the de- velopment at Southampton by utiliz- ing a much higher head of water than W.

It is said that the name “Again” Havé New Name. HONOR FOR TARIFF BOARD At the special session of the County Council on Wednesday of last week. R. C. Muir, chief engineer of municipal roads. told that body that the Provin- cial Department of Highways had made their final decision as to the designa- tion of the County-Provincial High- way through Euphrasia Township, and had selected the road originally desig- nated by the council, the 7th line. Mr. Muir stated that the department had always felt that the 7th line was the proper road and was . the one originally selected. He said further. however. that had the county council selected the 9th line in the first intance there was no doubt the department would have fallen in line. The decision for the 7th line, however, was the last word and he hoped that the matter was" now definitely settled and that the council would fall in line and have some work done on this highway this year. Still Sticks to 9th - Despite this opinion, the council is still determined to stick to the 9th line and at last Thursday afternoon’s ses- sion carried a motion that, “regardless of the department’s decision as expres- sed by Mr. Muir. this Council consid- ers that the 9th line of Euphrasia is the proper road." Chairman Hutchin- son expressed the Opinion that the motion would be useless in the face of what Mr. Muir had said, but the motion carried“ anyway. Department . of Highways Declined to Seventh Euphrasia County-Prov. Road Evidently this vexatious question is not yet settled, and if both parties to the agreement are adamant it is pos- sible that Euphrasia will find itself without either road. Another road-building programme this summer is between Arthur and Mount Forest, and with the work going ahead on the paving in Durham, there is every likelihood that Mount Forest will be linked up with this place and the roadway extended some three or four miles north of town. DAIRY BUSINESS" HAS CHANGED HANDS The dairy business conducted here for the past five or six years by Mrs. A. MacDonald under the name or Durham Dairy. changed hands last week when Mr. Cameron Lauder pur- chased it from the former owner. Mr. Lauder took possession on Wednesday morning of this week. Included in the change of business was the pur- chase of the interests of W. R. Watson. and. combining the two under one business, Mr. Lauder intends giving the town an even better service than it has enjoyed in the past. The deal with Mrs. MacDonald in- cluded not only the purchase of the business but the building as well.

These matters were decided at a meet- ing held Monday night. which was well attended and very representative. The Ingersoll Telephone Company will also be asked to look over its lines with a view to ascertaining how much inter- ference may emanate from them. The meeting further disagreed entirely with the statement attributed to Inspector Dooley, of London. who was recently reported to have said that Ingersoll's troubles were caused by three electric signs over Chinese cafes. and which were of the flasher type. Those at the meeting would draw Mr. Dooley's at- tention to the fact that these disturb- ances are in evidence for the full 24 hours of the day despite the fact that the restaurant signs are flashing only at night.
