L. S. Boyce entertained tie members OF
the "Ushers' Union" and their friends, at
his residence on Garden street, Thursday
evening. The affair was most carefully
planned, consisting of pleasing games,
social converse and refreshments. The
general opinion of those present is that
this was one of the most enjoyable socials
that has been held under the auspices OF
the Union.
Work has been abandoned on the arte
sian well for time, if not entirely. There
is not the slightest doubt that pure water
has been reached, but it does not flow in
the required quantity, and it is extremely
doubtful if it can be obtained in the
amount wanted. The well sunk gives but
thirty gallons per minute At this rate il
would require forty wells to get the
amount of water used in the summer
time. What the next move will be has
not been made public. One of the di
rectors said on Saturday: "Let the town
build it's own works" Another directo
is reported to have said that a filter mus
be put in. 1t is to be hoped that the com
mittee appointed at the meeting of cit
zens will remember that it is still in exis
tence. and that the water we are nov
being furnished is not free from sewerage
