 West Haven and Savin Rock are interested over an important matter to their interests the introduction of city water into the bor- ough. The pipes are now being laid con- meeting with the Water company's pipes at Kimberly avenue near Gesswein's, and sever al hundred feet of trench have already been dug. It will take several weeks to lay the pipes to the shore, distance of about three miles, People at the shore don't object Tn the least, and it is matter of general con- graduation down there that the shore ls to get water supply. A prominent shore ress- dent says: ''The shore has long needed this improvement. Mir. Kelsey with his accas- toned enterprise endeavored to accomplish the object by means of an artesian well at the rock. You recoIlect how the rock was 1 blasted and drilled, and that sufficient water ! supply was not obtained. The entrance to the artesian well on top of the rock IS coV- cred and serves as refrigerator for the Skeeles restaurant The windmills are trou- blesome and apt to get out of order, and If the water head is sufficient. as I think it IS, the rock cottagers will be happy. Besides for street watering purposes it will be just the thing. The people in the centre of the bor- ough will be glad of it likewise"
