Restrictions as to the use of water by the
citizens of this place have been made on &C
count of the drouth this summer. 1t is
said the water is the lowest at this time
that it has been since 1892. New England
generally seems to be affected by the
drouth, yet the central part of Vermont
seems to suffer especially. At Montpelier
the motor powers have been stopped and
use of water except for household and san
itary purposes has been forbidden. The
electric road between that city and Barre
run their cars with power from storage
batteries, but it is feared this power, gained
during the night, will not be able to hold
out much longer.
