WATER WORKS TO BE BEGUN MON
DAY.
Hon. Isaac W. Dyer, Of Gorham, who
is pushing forward the system of water
works for that village, said Wednesday
that the work on the system would begin
Monday next. Water is to be obtained
from artesian wells, which are to be sunk
about half a mile from the village near
| Dolley's Hill. The water is said to be of
unusually fine quality. The system will
use about twenty thousand feet of six
and eight inch iron pipe, and will have
pumping station and stand pipe. The
stand pipe will probably be located on
Seminary Hill, and will be 1856 feet above
the village square. The pipe itself will
rise fifty feet from the ground, and will
have capacity of $50, 600 gallons. There
will be thirty hydrants, and all of the
village will be protected except the high
hills. The sytem will cost about $40, 600;
and is expected to be completed by the
| first of November Ex-Governor Robbie is
President, and Hon. Isaac W. Dyer treas
urer.
