The board OF water commissioners held
a meeting last Thursday evening and
elected l.. B. johnson chairman in the
place OF Hamden w. Mcintyre, deceased.
The board now consists of four members,
who will transact the business of the
water department until the village fills
the vacancy by making choice OF q fifth
member. The board decided to lay a
four-inch pipe from the Tilson Flat
bridge through to the Damon springs
junction, a distance OF $500 feet. The
present two-inch pipe is in bad condition
and is too small to carry all the water
avsilable from that section. The line
will be LAID to better advantage than now
for considerable part of the way and
will be we'll graded. The board expects
to acquire more springs in that neighbor-
hood and. with the extra flow, that the
four-inch pipe will allow, the supply will
be materially increased.
John H. Dubois has acquired posses
sion Of the Bean wagon shop in Beanville
and retains Lewis A. Bean Ms manager of
the esta blishment. This shop has had an
enviable reputation for superior work and
the term ''Bean-made'' for over 40 years
has been sufficient guarantee OF the
strength and durability OF any vehicle to
which it was applied. In 1868. w. W..
Bean bought the shop Of Leonard Ford
for $1,000, enlarged 1t and did so well that
it seemed as IL with more capital the in
dustry might be developed into a still
more profitable enterprise. With this
end in view Mr.. Bean took Judson Fits
into partnership in 1875 but in few
years the partnership was dissolved and
Mr.. Bean was again sole proprietor. He
continued to turn out tirst-class work and
to increase the good reputation OF his
business until June, 1908, when, on &C
count OF advancing years, he gave over
the active conduct of affairs to his son,
Lewis A., who came from Springfield,
Masa., to assume charge and will con-
tinue to make "Bea n-made" the best OF
trade marks.
