CLINTON.

MAY CUT, DOWN APPROPRIATION.
Clinton, Oct Sit is possible that
the meeting to legallze the appropria-
ton of $4,000 for sewers may not affirm
the appropriation when it assemblies
next Tuesday for that purpose. Yester-
day quiet, but seemingly firm move
ment was in progress to prevent that
amount of money being authorized for
sewers. 1t is possible that the meet
ing may decide to return to the sum or
iginally suggested by the selectmen.
THE NEWS WAS INTERESTING.
The story of the shutting off of the
water in the Burdette hill tank, exclu-
sively told in The Spy OF this morn
ing, created wide interest here. Peo-
pie whose houses have been supplied
are naturally interested to know how
much of the water condemned as inn
pure has been used for drinking pur-
poses.
The local newspaper publishes the
story tonight and asks what new en-
terprise is to be sprung upon the peo-
pie of Clinton in order to furnish en-
ployment. This refers to the fact that
when an appropriation for the tank
was asked for, it was said with other
reasons that the tank would furnish
employment for the unemployed.
