ReadSboro,

The bill amending the charter of the
village of Readsboro has received the
signature of Coy. Woodbury.. Under
this amendment the village can issue
bonds for the purpose of raising money
to increase its water supply should the
voters so desire. That our water supply
needs increasing no one disputes, but are
we ready to do it? The pump at the pa
per mill did good service during the dry
spell in the summer, and the charge
made by the National Metal Edge Box
Co. for this service was very reasonable
only SIS. We know of no reason why
this pump cannot again be used, if nee
essary. The experiment of many towns
this last summer shows that pump is
safe to rely upon so that no apprehen-
sion need be felt as to safety, and know
ing this, we believe it is for our best
interests to think the matter over care
fully before increasing our bonded in
debtedness. This bill will have to be
voted upon by the village and it should
be accepted by all means. Accepting it
does not imply that we mustiss bonds,
but it merely gives us that privilege if
we so desire, and circumstances might
render it strictly necessary for us to do.
