Friday evenings special corpora
ton meeting brought out more than
an average attendance and consider
able interest developed in the water
question. A statement was made by
Gov. Hendee concerning the reasons
why q meeting was called, showing
that the growth of the village in the
neighborhood of Harrison avenue,
Cherry avenue and Maple street made
it necessary to have an increased
number of hydrants, and that the
trustees wished for instruction in the
matter before making any contract
with the Aqueduct Company. Later

structed to make contract for two or
three additional hydrants as may
seem best, providing it can be done
on the same terms as the present con-
tract, which means $25 rent for each
