CITY WATER SUPPLY
VISITED BY DIR. HOLTON

mended.

The secretary Of the state board Of
health, Dr. II d. fIolton Of Brattleboro,
was in the city to-day, and with mem
bers of the city council visited two of
the sources of the city water supply,
at the Orange brook and at the Bolster
reservoir on the west hill At the for
mer place d strip OF land ninety feet wide
bordering on the brook is owned by a
man who has planned to move barn
onto the strip. II was for this purpose
Of looking over the situation and deter
mining the possibility of contamination
that Dr. Holton's visit to-day was pri-
marily made
Dr.. HoIton stated after inspecting the
place that il would be very dangerous
TO have stock barn at this point and
that the city would no doubt be able to
prevent It, A barn used for storage Of
hay or something like that would not en-
danger the water supply. Tie soil at
this point is full and the slope is toward
the brook. so that the drainage from the
stock barn would run directly into the
brook. Some minor changes at the Boil
ster reservoir were recommended by the
secretary of the state board, such as the
moving Of some buildings 70 d location
more remote from the Peck pond brook.
DR. Holton reports that the smallpox
situation about West Berlin is now

case. that of small child. lie com.
mends the selectmen Of Berlin for their

Richard II, Standish Of Montpelier Ar
rested Yesterday Afternoon and
Pleads Not Guilty to Breaking

'Beef's" alleged misconduct in drig-
ing the machine il said To have taken
place last Sunday and IS the first arrest
Of the kind that has ever been made In
this city Officer Hamei stated that he
saw Standish drive down through Main
street at reckless rate of speed and
came tearing back again. The officer
concluded that the law against reckless
driving had been broken and that
Beef ought to be made an example
of.
The officer then went to grand Juror
Davis and had warrant made out and
when Hamel went to Montpelier yester-
day with a drunk to be lodged in the
county jail he served the warrant on

This case win probably be Of con-
siderable Importance owing to the fact
the remodelled automobile law has not
been tried out. In stating that motor
vehicles shall not be run in d careless
or negligent manner the law says that
| ii a machine II run at speed greater
than ten miles an hour within the city
it shall be prima facie evidence that
the machine was run carelessly or neg
