There was considerable excitement in
town last week over the water question.
Several had their water supply cut off
because they would not agree to the

was brought before the judges OF the
Essex county court, hearing was had,
and as result of this hearing three
commissioners were appointed to act in
premises, an agreement being made that
the matter should remain i'll status quo
until the commissioners announced their
decision. When this agreement was
brought to the attention OF the company
the water was again turned on. In the
meantime j. c. Fogg, one whose supply
had been cut off, sunk we'll on his pre-
misses and now has good supply OF his
own. The other consumers similarly
treated were the Bartlett Co.'S store, q.
f. Clarke and Geo. S. Robinson. 1t is
intimated that the end is not yet.
