Pittsfeld now has a good water sup
ply In case OF fire. On Friday the
steam pump ut the Pioneer mill was
started up and there was rush for the
honor Of using Tie first city water
which was won by William Dobson.
The Pittsheld Advertiser says that in
Mr.. Dobson's haste to get the first wa
ter, some rather crude means were en-
plOyed. The handiest piece of hose WAS
pressed into the service by Fred Gilman,
and when the water was turned on,
there were half dozen good-sized
rents, at least, in 1t. The effect was
somewhat bizarre, but the water that
managed to get by the holes and into
the clstern, and therefore into use,
counted just the same and Mr.. Dobson
won easily.
The affairs OF the Sebasticook Il
II
brighter under the new management.
Within the past week the second mort
gage bonds amounting to $25, 900, held

This looks well, certainly. There Is no
doubt now that the road will be extend
cd northward next summer, says the
Pittsfleld Advertiser.
