"The Lord is certainly with u.s." says
Contractor l.. E. Scruton, who is put
ting in the water supply system. With
the aid of the very exceptional weather
for the season, the advance guard of the
diggers are now within about twenty
rods of the place in Market Square
where connection will be made with the
pipes of the Norway system. The con-
nection at the east bank of the river was
a tough job, as it was impossible to
keep the water out, and it was finally
necessary to draw down the pond few
inches. By Tuesday the last of the ditch
will probably be open. The wall of the
pressure reservoir is now closed up, and
the work of putting on the skim coat of
cement began Monday morning.
