pipes wherever these are used so hat the
water becomes impregnated with lead.
AS result of this condition of affairs
forty cases Of lead poisoning are said to
have occurred in that city during the past
five years, and some of the cases have
been of a serious nature. As 1t is the
people OF Lowell must put in new service
pipes of some material that will avoid
this difficulty or take their water supply
from the Mcrrimac river and filter it,
either of which alternatives will be quite
expensive.
Burlington certainly has every reason
to be satisfied with the results of its eff
forts to secure an abundance of pure wat
er. The extension of the intake into the
broad lake for u number of miles has as
sured our people an inexhaustble supply
of water, and analyses have shown it to
be exceedingly pure, being far more de-
slrabe in this respect than the water used
by many other cities.

A Church Dispute Settled.

Two churches in Cambridge, Mass, have
for some seventy years claimed the same
t!tle-that of THE First congregational
church in Cambridge" Each claims the
title by virtue of its descent from the
original first church of Cambridge, organ.
lied in 1886; or rather each claims that i,
is that first parish church of Cambridge
existing in unbroken continuance from
that date to this. The explanation is the
simple one, that the first parish church in
that city became divided into two, seventy
Unitarian in doctrine and church fellow
ship; the other remaining Trnitarian. For
the support of the latter a new society
was organized known as the Shepard
congregational society, and the church
tof which DIR. Alexander Mckenzie is the
pastoD has been often called the Shepard
Memorial church, though always claim
ing the formal title of the First Congre-
eatonal church of Cambridge.
The conflicting claims to that name have
been source of confusion and some an
noyance in that community, and steps
were recently taken to adjust the matter
OVertures from a committee of the Uni
tartan church, of which President Eliot
OF Harvard was chairman were made last
January, and after correspondence and
negotiation, in which due regard has been
paid to the localities of the case, and to
pious and patriotic sentiment. the two
have agreed as follows: On tablets on
the buildings, on stationery, on calendars
and in records of the two bodies, the Uni
tarians viii use the title 1.-The First Par
ish Church in Cambridge QG36-Unitarian

the title The First Church In Cambridge
QG90 and Shepard Congregational Society
N629.'D For the records of meetings the
titles will be: The First Church in Cam.
bridge, Unitarian, and the The First
Church in Cambridge, Congregational
For common use in advertisements the
short titles, THE First Church-Unitar-
IAN and. ''The First Church-Congrcga-
tIonal' will be used.
This is of interest TO Burlington readers
because a parallel case has existed in this
town. The first church in Burlington was
in doctrine and church polty. Two par
ties, liberal and orthodox soon developed
in 1t. In 1910 the church divided over the
choice of a pastor-the liberals wanting
Rev. Samuel Clark, and the orthodox, or
Calvinist, wishing to settle Rev. Daniel
Haskell. The society voted to call Mr.
Clark. The church refused to concur. and
voted to call Mr.. Haskell. The result was
split In both church and society-the
liberal minority in the church organizing
a new church. and the orthodox minority
In the society organizing a new society.
The old society retained the name OF THE
First Congregational Society" The new
society called itself THE First Calvinistic
Congregational Society" Each church
called itself the First Congregational

Bright Outlook For Lumbermen.

The lumber dealers of Burlington as well
as those elsewhere in this country evident
~ have every reason TO feel encouraged
over the present outlook for their business
The announcement made In these columns
some days since TO the effect that England
was purchasing immense quantities of
lumber in the United States is now sup
lumber-dealing firm in Texas has Just re-
ceived a request from the British govern
ment itself to submit figures on 100000
feet of yellow pire to be delivered at Gulf
as 10 the destination of this enormous bill
of lumber, but it assumed that portion
will be sent to the British West Indies and
the remainder to South Africa
II IS almost impossible for the average
man to realize what the figures involved
in this order mean, but some idea of the
quantity of lumber to he furnished, II the
bid is accepted, can be obtained from the
statement that it will require con-
slant work on the part of all
the mills in the yellow pine belt
of the southwest for ut least one year
to fill the order. 1t is predicted that if
this order is secured by the concern in
question, the result will be an appreca-
ton in the price Of lumber as marked as
it will be sudden, and an impetus to the
lumber trade generally which will be felt
for a considerable time to come

Water Supplies Compared.

In view of the fact that Burlington
some years ago contemplated the project
of attempting to substitute water secured
from wells driven on the Hill for lake
water in order to avoid the expense of
pumping and secure other advantages, il
will be interesting to note the results of
similar experiments conducted by other
cities, 1T seems that the city of Albany
n. Y, instituted a driven well system a
number of years since, and for time the
good people of New York's capital city
based great expectations OF sufficient
and pure water supply thereon Exper-
fence showed, however, that the supply
was insufficient and Albany was COMPEL
ed to reluctantly seek elsewhere for its
water supply
The people Of Lowell, Mass. establish
ed a driven well system, but while they
have succeeded in securing an abundant
supply of water which is pure as 1t comes
20 the surface, other difficulties nave been
experienced which make the supply Cor
those who use it far from satisfactory. 1t
Is said that the water contains an ex-
cess of carbonic acid, which while not
dangerous in itself attacks the leal sayyice

Proposed Industry For Burlington

One of BuringtoN's leading citizens, who
growth by conducting various manufac-
turning industries, said Friday that if
he was younger and more ambitious he
would start an overall and underwear fac
tory in this city at once. Why can not n
few of our progressive citizens who have
surplus money to invest put their pocket
books as well as their heads together ana
form company for the purpose of TAX
ing advantage of the opportunity which
to our knowledge has commended itself
to number of people and start manu-
factory like that named?
The element of uncertainty and risk
which enters into so many new manufac-
turing industries would be largely elmi-
mated from a project OF this kind because
the products would be staple goods for
which there is an enormous as well as
constant demand. IT would also he pos
sible to extend the list of products of such
an industry to include shirts and shirt
waists. for which there is also a large and
persistent market. But whether or not
the factory should be made 10 include all
of these or limited to a speciality, would
depend upon circumstances.
1t is known that not a few residents OF
this city who do not care to be bothered
with the details OF additional business are
looking for investments, and we believe
that they would prefer a home investment
OF this character to any distant venture
fraught with great uncertainty, although
many of us have hitherto accepted Just
ever, Is a chance for our local capitalists
to start an industry, which is assured of
success from the very outset. which will
employ our labor and help all our business
interests, and which would be under the
eyes of the investors.
project of this character could be
started in a modest way, increasing the
facilities for production as the demand for
its products might warrant; and with its
affairs managed by a board of directors
made up of such careful and substantial
men as have made a success of various
other industrial enterprises in this city.
and its operations supervised by compet-
ent brains, there would he a very large
chance of success We hope that this sub
ject may be thoroughly discussed by our
citizens through our columns as well as
orally, and If sufficient encoura gement rs
received, that a meeting of our citizens
may be called by the secretary of the
board of trade to take such action as may
BE deemed wise under the circumstances
In the meantime If there are individual
capitalists who desire to preempt the field
by starting industries like those mention
ed. we can assure them every encourage
ment on the part of the people of Bur-
lngton.

emphasized their differences in theological
doctrine. The Unitarian church still calls
Itself The First Congregational church.
The other church claimed and used the
same title till, at very recent date, il

The example of the Cambridge churches
