South Side Wnter Norka-


In response to the great demand for go i
and pure water, Messrs, Jas Mlligan. jr.,
BEEN, Fullerton, Macsinay, G. B. Hess aud
others decided some TINA ago to build sys-
tenn of water works on the South Side, if
the consent OF the city can be obtained, and
have filed articles of incorporation with the
recFetary of state at Springfield, and applied
for charter.
The intention is to lay mains through
every street ON the south bluff, inside the
corporate limits, from which water will be
supplied to renters at reasonable rates. The
source of supply will be in the gravel beds,
somewhat removed faom the city cemetery,
and it is to be as pure 40 il can be had any.

The city is not asked to pay dollar as
bonus nor is any citizen to be coerced into
taking water, but any one who desires may
receive water at low rate, while the city
will receive like treatment.
An application will be made to the council
at its next meeting, for the privilege of the
streets, and should it be granted, the gentle
men give assurance that the works will be
built at once.

ARARE AND USEFUL GIFT.

The letter from Rev. c. NJ. Lam
son, elsewhere printed, tells its own
story. There is nothing to add to
what has so well been said. This
museum is but another valuable leg
acy to a town that has so frequently
been the recipient of educational and
useful gifts from members of the Fair
banks family We believe that the
donor does not desire praise for this
gift so much as he wishes that the
people should visit the museum and
learn from studying its treasures to
love 1.-The good, the beautiful and the
true" in nature which have been SO
lavishly bestowed by the bountiful
Giver of all. 1t will be ingratitude
indeed If our people do not properly
appreciate and make use of such a
rare and costly benefaction- We be
heve that they will.

FREE DELIVERY, ONCE MORE.

FREE DELIVERY, ONCE MORE.
From free delivery good lord de-
| liver uSW was the exclamation of a
few last week before they saw the
Caledonian which enjoined them to
''possess their souls in patience" Of
course anything of such a magnitude
as delivering the mail all over this
part of Caledonia county by men un-
acquainted with either the business
or the localities they wanted to find
was no slight matter. However, the
carriers are getting the ''hang of the
school house." and things will run
smoother father on; yet good many
patrons of the post office are taking
their boxes again and will endeavor
to get their mail in the good old way.
The result is that while the jury
cannot agree, the ultimate verdict
will doubtless be that free delivery is
an accommodation to some, but to
all those who can conveniently go to
the post office it is no advantage.
Since the Caledonian was printed
last week there have been a few
changes at the post office. The de-
liveries are now as follows: A "busi-
ness" delivery is made at 7 a. m, a
general delivery at 10 a. M, and
another general" delivery after the
arrival of the evening mails. This
seems to be highly satisfactory
There are three ''carrier windows"
put in at the post office, at which
any party receiving his mail by car
rier can obtain it between the car
rier's hours, and also on Sunday be-
tween II and I o'clock, by calling at
his carriers window and giving
name, street and number. 1t was
| found necessary to increase the num-
Der of postmen to four and the sub
stitute, Dawes, has been put on the
force for the present.
| THE TOWN BRIDGES.
The selectmen have completed the
repairs on the bridge at the East vii
lage and it is open for travel again.
The east abutment had collapsed so
that 1T was necessary to rebuild it
entire. To do this required more
and heavier stone and altogether it
was quite job, as it was over 20
feet high. The Portland street bridge
will also have to be repaired soon.
1t has sagged in the centre and does
not rest firmly on the pier. 1t is not
determined yet just what to do with
it but the repairs will include new
| flooring. This town has 16 bridges
over so feet long to keep in repair,
four of them being in Fairbanks vii
lage, and the repairs amount yearly
to as much as one new bridge.
