Tonight, Friday. occurs the corporation
meeting which Is to decide the question OF
water supply. There has been much dis
cussion pro and con. but 1t has been too big
oted and unreasonable. There are two sides
to every question and It'll but fa'r tnat notn
sides be heard. The charter does not allow
water for manufacturing purposes, but
vote of the village permitted 1t without llmi'
tation. The original charter does not say |
anything about water for IRE protection, put
It has always been allowed. The only thing
to settle is to so husband the water In the
pond that 1t will not be necessary to pump
from the river. While the river water may
not be bad 1t is unpleasant to compare 1t
with Mtnard's from spring water. Inc
meeting will he warm but good will no doubt
be the outcome. 1t has been necessary to
run the pumps all this week to keep the pipes
full of water. A visit to the pond last Sunday
revealed the fact that the pipes were mostly
out of water. The seven feet flow allowed,
is all gone and the pipes out. The pond
will not ill until after October and river
water is the outcome.-Work on the ruins OF
