SURVEY FOR NEW WATER SUPPLY

MAY HAVE NEW WATER SYSTEM.

and practicable to obtain an adequate | supply of water from a spring on the | Barnum, Richardson land two miles | southeast of the village and does not mean that work on a water system IS to | be begun at once. At the present time | the company obtains water from wells ! and springs near the village where the ! elevation Is not sufficient to give ample | pressure. The proposed supply on the ! B. R. lands Is ample i'll every respect | and would provide pressure of 100 pounds to the inch at Falls Village fau I cets The spring or reservoir Is 27O feet above the village. In all probability the water would be led to the village either a four-inch or six-inch pipe. The pipe route from the spring would be largely along the highway or on the Barnum, Richardson premises therefore no obstacles are anticipated when right of way is desired If the new system is placed it is likely that hydrants will be installed in the streets and that Falls Village will be provided with a means of fighting fire which same Is mucn needed.
 INHUMAN TREATMENT. .
 One evening last week Hunts circus drove from Lime Rock to this village after the Lime Rock performance. The horses were driven under the church sheds, and left until morning without feed or covering. The circus people re- mained over night with local family and in the morning left town without feeding the shivering animals. This in- human treatment of the faithful brutes aroused much indignation here and ar Tests would have been made had there beeu a constable available.

 BICYCLE KNOCKED HIM DOWN.
 George Capron ir. was struck and knocked down by a bicycle while walk ing on the sidewalk one evening last week, and, as result, has had his limp with him for several days. The rider of the wheel was an employe of Dr. Shan non. MT. Capron petitioned the select men to enact ordinances prohibiting rid ing on the walks and the same has been done. The penalty for violation is $20. %.
 AUTOS MUST HOLD UP.
 The selectmen have posted notices forbidding bicycle riding on the side walks and are preparing notices to auto mobilists instructing them to decrease l speed and exercise caution when ap- preaching the arch. This is a most dangerous spot for meeting of team and automobile and the citizens will support the selectmen in the enforce ment of stringent regulations.
 ROAD HAS BEEN WORKED.
 The west road has been worked" the greater part of the way between Falls Village and Canaan. We believe "work ing" is what it is called. At any rate the sods and stones have all been scrapeC from the sides of the road and piled iu the middle.
