Mr.. Editor.-I have been reader of the
MONITOR for many years and would now
ask you to oblige me by giving the follow
ing position in its columns: have no
ticed the great improvements in and
around the village, but I think there is
something still lacking and as it is so near
March meeting think this is an oppor-
tune time to bring it up. 1t is the subject
Of a water tub at the upper end of the viii
lage, or on the road which leads to West
more. There are about thirty farmers
who come into the village that road
and unless they drive to the lower end Of
the village they have to drive from eight
to fourteen miles with no place to water
their horses. have driven into yards on
the road to get water but this is very in
convenient when the snow is deep. There
is four miles Of the road, all in Barton,
with no water tub. I hope someone will
have mercy on the dumb beasts and bring
this up before the town meeting tomor-
row. G. L. NUTTING.
