Paris Hill woke up to transformation
scene Sunday morning. Everything out
of doors, including trees, bushes and
wires, coated with several inches Of
damp snow and pretty good sleighing.
Paris Hills water supply, which has
been making dangerously low records
during the late summer and fall, is on
its good behavior once more. For the
past two weeks the gain of water in the
reservoir at Croker hill has averaged
about six inches per day. At the same
rate of increase the overflow pipe will
be running before the end of the present
week. The new work done on the hill
has so greatly increased the water supply
that it is not probable that it will ever
be as low again.
