The system of waterworks for
Woodstock was formerly accepted
from the contractor, q. l.. Mckain,
of Salem, W. Va, by the Council on
Saturday night. Tapping the mains
will be pushed as rapidly as possible

1t is claimed that through an error
of the engineers the quantity of water
mas fallen off IS such an extent that
during a drought the supply will not
be sufficient for the present needs of
the town and that supply reservoir
will have to be built lower down on
Msssauutten Mountain where the
water is gathered from spaings.
