Either the mouth of the public sewers
will have to 60 lower down, or the water
he allowed to run in the river, else that
locality cannot become very thickly set
tied. -+
BY the way, each year, when the water
in the Walloomsac River is low, during
July and August, usually, and the water
is shut back evenings and Sunday to fill
mp the mill dams above the village, or in
the upper portion, the stencil is appal-
ling. Either the water will needs be al
lowed to run or those who have severed
into the stream will be obliged to con-
meet with the village system. The stencil
on Sunday was uncomfortable in the hot
sun.

FRIDAY, Saturday and Sunday were
three days when those who were obliged
to be out, sought the shady side of the
street the mercury climbing higher each
succeeding day, although the breeze of
Sunday made the dav little more endur-
able. Friday saw go registered and Sat
urday morning at o'clock saw it $50,
and at p. m. go were the figures indi-
Gated on the thermometer. Sunday saw
it 950. Thus far there has been Is days
this summer when the mercury has
climed 90o degrees or higher. 1t seems
to be an open summer although the at
mosphere is close enough.
