The town needs a good hotel. The benefits that would come to it from restoration of the old time ''summer boarder' business are measurable only by estimate, but 1t will be something to remove the existing stig- ma of having no first-class hotel building.

The business men can af- ford to assist even if it be not good div idend paying investment, since good hotel will assist every other business in town. The manufacturers are interested in everything that goes to benefit and inn prove the town, as it is easier to secure a good class of help with village of pleas ant environment for a home. The i'm provement is sure to come sometime, but why not stop the loss of delay?

This Secures against any fu- ture possibility of failure of supply. Du- ring the recent depletion the bottom of the pond from which water is taken was thoroughly cleaned of mud and vegeta- tion.
