n Amid the clouds of smothering
II on our streets last week during
re middle of the week street sprink-
ling was all at once stopped. Scores
of lawn sprinklers were in use about
town, but the pedestrian had to grit
his teeth and sneeze and sputter,
while housewife and merchant had to
close doors and windows and batten
up the cracks. A little investigation
showed that there was no need of
any such inconvenience thought
necessary, by the condition of water
supplies in the three reservoirs now
owned by the corporation. 1t is still
further demonstrated that there is
an inconvenience in having two, so
nearly distinctly separate systems,
making it effect quite seriously as to
where or from what system the
sprinkling is done. The investiga-
tion resulted in part in showing that
solid two-inch stream was running
into Lamoille river from the railroad
tank. With this stopped and a little
curtailing of continuous lawn use,
the lower reservoir was soon running
over again and on Friday the streets
were again sprinkled.
