A Special Meeting of Tax Payers Con-
siders the Matter of Puttinga Pump
ing Station at Paugh Pond-BOr.
Ough Election November 19-Other
Notes.
A special meeting of the tax payers is
called for this evening in town hall to dis
cuss the water supply question and to re-
scind the vote to put in pumping station |
at Paugh pond that was taken at a recent |
meeting. The heavy rain of yesterday and
Wednesday night has helped out the wa
ter supply and should it be shown that
the water in the pond has been raised to
considerable influence with the action
liable to be taken at the meeting. Many
believe that there is no danger of the water
supply giving out and predict heavy rains
that will fill up the ponds before spring.
Others realize the necessity of immediate
action, while quite number believe and
affirm that there is big leak in the water
main at Broad swamp, and there is nearly
as much water wasted there as is used in
the borough, and quote as proof
of their statement the fact that
Williams pond, which lies south of Broad
swamp less than mile, which 1t is claimed
always nearly dries up in the summer sea-
| son, has been full all summer, as has the
brook which feeds it and comes from Broad
swamp. The fact that there is large body
/ of water standing in the muck trenches all
| through the dry weather, when all the other
swamps in the town are dry,is also quoted
to affirm the belief of bad break in the
main. The subject will be thoroughly dis
oussed this evening.
| report recommend that building adapted
to the wants of both the Wallace Hose
company and the Simpson "Hooks" be
erected somewhere between Colony and
Main street, as the present quarters of both
| companies are not in suitable condition.
Other important matters will be spoken
of in the report, which are of interest to
the fire department and the citizens of the
borough.
The borough election will occur next
week, Saturday, November 10. AS yet
there is no interest manifested in the COM

of the majority of the citizens if he can be
prevailed upon to accept.
