it rained as hard as it has ever done
in this section. Everything looks
better on account OF the rain.

somewhat delayed by the rain and

contract completed

the trees will soon begin to engross

this kind of treatment.

lack what no up-to-date town can

new filter and reservoir are put in
and they can't go in too quickly to
suit every one concerned.
