Waterbury evening Democrat., 1904-08-22
WATERVILLE:.

The channel at the new dam that Is being erected on Hancock brook be- came clogged and as a result a large volume of water was forced down what is known as the ditch or canal which feeds the water wheels of the Waterville Cutlery Go and the H. l.. Welch Hosiery Go. The water broke through the bank in the rear of tue Downs property for about fifty feet in length, going down about twenty feet The damage done Is estimated at about $1,o0O. The factories win not be closed since arrangements have been made to use city water. A large gang of workmen are at work repair ing the break in the enbankment.
 There will be a meeting of all those interested in the organization of an engine company for the protection of the village, in the Garter building this evening at o'clock. All those wish ing to take part as active members are requested to be present at this meeting this evening to elect officers. A move is under way also to organize village Improvement society in con nection with the fire company. An improvement society is what the vii. lage needs, as society of this kind could do a great deal for the village at large.
