The quarantine has been raised on the
Donneiy family on the Centreville road
and Mr.. Donnelly and his son James have
returned to work today
Joseph England is still confined to his
home as Is Iva and Alice Carr, who live
In the same house.
The quarantine Is to be raised on the
family OF Charles Godfrey, the milk deal
er whom the health officer prevented
from selling milk in the village on ac-
count OF the epidemic being in his family.
II is expected that Mr. Godfrey will be
able to resume delivery OF his milk and
vegetables In tew days. This will be
glad news to his many customers In the
village the most OF whom he has served
for nearly 80 years. Mr.. Godfrey conducts
one OF the best farDls in this part of New
England and being prevented from dis
posing of his products especially at TINS
time OF the year has been great loss 10
him.

the past week iE the village fumigating
the houses in which the epidemic visited.
There are still a number of cases still
under quarantine.
Some OF the oldest citizens OF the vii
| lage state that they have never known In
| ALI their time a disease that spread TO
| such an extent a. did the diphtheria dur
| ing the last two or three weeks. There
| have been close or &c so cases In the VII
! lage since the beginning Of the outbreak
| and only one dealt, has resulted. This GER
tainly speaks very highly OF the efficiency
| of the physicians o. the village. who have
| labored diligently TO attend to those ar
| eicted and to prevent the disease from
spreading.
NO ACTION TAKEN YET.
AS vet there has been no action taken
regarding the mailing OF contract with
| the East Greenwich Water Supply COM
! pany for furnishing the district with
water. About three months ago the COM
pany submitted q 20-year contract TO the
I district but the district did not take kind
! Iv TO the document ard voted TO reject
the contract. One reason for rejecting IL
was that IL was fof too long a period.
About five years ago some OF the high
ways were graded and as result or these
repairs In some places one ana two ieet
of gravei was removal from the roads In
order 10 make the grade. The water pipes
in these parts were never lowered and
with very severe weather they become
frozen.

days OF the year. Business In the village

of visitors. but they were certainly very
conspicuous by their absence.
