The water commissioners are to shut the
village water off early tomorrow morning
in order to do a little more work in con-
nection with the new filter which has
been put in. When the filter was made
the cover to the safety valve was not
weighed to the full extent as it was not
thought best to bring too great pressure
to bear on the filter, until the cement had
a chance to become thoroughly hardened,
and for time there has been a certain
amount of water escaping through the
safety valve, which has given the water a
muddy appearance. The cover will now be
weighted to greater extent and the water
should then all pass through the filter.
This valve is placed there SO that if for
any reason more water is wanted than can
be passed through the filter it will open
and allow free passage. Much water is
being used in the village and the people
should all be careful and not use morethan
is necessary, for while plenty of water
viii pass through the filter for ordinary
uses if great amount is wasted the safety
valve will open and the water will again
be muddy. This Will be a good time for
the people to investigate their faucets, etc.
and see that they are all right so that
there will be no leakage.
The ball game between the Newport
Center boys and the home team was en-
joyed by q good mum Der OF spectators. The
game was very interesting one, and had
it not been for few costly errors on the
part Of the visiting team, the score at the
close would have been much closer than it
was. Gokey for the Newport team and
Jenness for the home team pitched very
strong games bat Jenness received rather
better support than his opponent. The
game was very quiet one and the New
port boys could certainly find no fault
with the treatment they received from the
crowd. The Barton boys are making a
good start toward winning the champion
ship of the league, and if they are we'll
supported and put in good amount of
hard practice should maintain a lead over
all Competitors. The following is the
score:
