Orleans County monitor. [volume] (Barton, Vt.) 1872-1953, 1885-07-27

Saturday evening W consioer the
question of putting in village water
works. This is the most important
question, in financial sense, that
ever came before the village and
men should be prepared to weigh the
matter candidly and act without in
considerate judgment. There is

benefit to be derived from the pro-
posed enterprise, but the matter of
cost and the propriety of doing
the work now, should be carefully
discussed.
