The city fathers have been prospecting
for new water for the fire reservoirs. The
contract now in force with Messrs. Warner
x Somerville expires in the course OF year
or so, and new arrangements will probably
then be made, as the present supply is
wholly inadequate in case OF an extensive
lire. Three streams were found above
Charles Wrsley's sugar orchard, each of
them coming from perennial spring, and
the three combined could be turned into
reservoir which would give at least $50 feet
head and thus do away with the need of an
engine. The supply would be ample the
power sufficient, and the quality pure.
