PLENTY OF WATER.
Dry Spell throughout the state Does
Not Directly Affect BurIingtonIanS.

In times of drouth like the present, and
which prevails at some time during almost
every summer the people OF Burlington
have reason to be thankful that they are
not dependent on any gravity supply for
water. Reports from many towns in
Vermont that are so dependent tell Of
the annoyance caused by the shortage Of
water, Down In Woodstock the fashion
able folk at the Inn are obliged to climb
the stairs to their rooms, the use of the
elevator having been cut off by the COM
pany which supplies the village with
water. Hose service of all nature, motors
and water for washing carriages and au-
tomobiles Is also forbidden. Here in Bur
lington, with the never-failing Lake
Champlaln for a source Of supply, gar
dens and lawns can be kept in good con-
dition by use of the hose and there is
