the catch basins at the east end of
Gothic Street, and replacing it with
tile. This stone drain was laid about
twenty years ago, across High Street
and through the lot at the Williams
place, now owned by J. Ii. Stuart, into
the hollow south of the stable. The
drain is now entirely filled up. After
work had progressed for day or two,
Mr.. Stuart informed the selectmen that
he should object to their digging on his
land. Accordingly, after some search

drain, without much success, the tile
which had been started was carried
across to the lower side of High Street,
and the end of it was planked over and
covered to remain for the present. II
we should have lively shower, some
water is likely to come up through
there.
