Tests of several North Bennington
wells show thai the water is not fit TO

no news to persons familiar with such
things for shallow we'll in thickly set
tied communities are almost sure to be
come contaminated after long use and
it is natural that the people of North
Bennington should be thinking seri-
ously of securing an improved supply
of water. The attractive and prosper
Gus north village should not hesitate
a minute about going after a new VII
lage water system. 1t will cost lot
of money but after their recent typhoid
fever epidemic the people of that vii
lage should not be long in choosing
between spending their money on doc
tors and uudertakers or a pure water
supply that in time would pay for
itself and become a valuable asset of
the village.
