MERIDEN ESCAPES A WATER
FAMINE

Meriden, Nov 27.-The rain of the
past few days has relieved the city
water situation here so that now there
is no danger of a water famine this
winter
There are already 15O,O0O,0OO gallons
of water in the city's reservoirs, or
enough to last for three months, even
if it should rain no more in that time.
Long before that time there is every
likelihood that snow and rain will
greatly augment the supply.
