Sprinkling the streets has been discon-
tinued for the present on account Of the
diminishing quantity of water In the viii
lage reservoir, whose supply in this pro-
trscted dry season needs to be husbanded
with the greatest care. There is believed
to be sufficient water for all necessary
purposes but none whatever to waste. |
Every faucet is being examined and all
the leaky ones will be fixed at the ex- |
pense Of the owners of the houses in |
which they are found. Since preserving |
the supply for fire protection as well as
domestic uses is q matter of personal in |
terest tn every inhabitant of the village, |
there ought not to be the slightest occa- |
sion to caution people against leaving q
hose to drip barrels Of water on a lawn |
that would be Just as we'll on without
such q stone-cold deluge.
A suit has been brought by the village |
against John F. Kimball to recover for |
the cost of removing his gasolene tanks

lot back OF the Kimball Public library. |
There were about SO gallons OF gasolene
stored under the piazza of the Lamson
block, which the fire wardens considered /
Q dangerous situation for such stuff and,
accordingly, exercised their authority the
7th inst. in taking II down to the village /
lot. Mr.. KimbaIl almost immediately
transported the bulk of il to q safe place
at the e. F. Emerson mill, but the ex-
pense incurred in the first removal the
village charges to him, the amount in
volved being SIS. The case will be tried
next Monday before Judge c. U. Lathrop
of Williamstown, with NJ. NJ. Wilson as
counsel for the village
