IN NOVEMBER LAST WE COMMENCED
| to build two reservoirs for two purposes
one for skating and one for freezing Ice. Before
doing 80 we went to the agent OF the Water
Company to see II they would give us water for
erSoirs c @ were built, the agent Of the Water Com
pany told us to tap the company's. pipes below
the Central mill, which we did, assisted by three
workmcn and an agent Of the company being
present at the time:
Alter the reservoirs were filled with water, I;
M. Foster came to us two or three times and
wanted to lease tho upper reservoir for the pur.
pose Of freezing Ice, but VIC would not consent,
az we wanted TO use II ourselves. g. M. Foster
then went to the Water Company and got the
agent to stop the water upon us through mis-
statements, an he feared an opposition In ice.
The water after being stopped on us for time,
we went TO the agent and asked him 10 lct US
have the water again. a. we had built the reser-
yoirs at great expense, and without the wafer
they would be useless and we would PC heaaSy ear,yi
losers. He again consented; and nom that time
FORTH till the end Of the season, We had sufficient
water for all our purposes.
In regard to running water from the streets,
we deny. Any other water than the company
that ever ran into our reservoirs waa from
heavy rain storm or the melting SHOWS from the
sidehills, which was pure snow water mneh

voir or stop the water again, he went ana goL INC
