What was supposed to be break 10
the water main on Bridge Street, upon
investigation proved to be filling up of
the lower end of the open sewer pipe ex-
tending from above Frank P. Stones
place on Pike Hill to q point few feet
from the sidewalk on Bridge Street, over
the bridge. The sewage has been run
ming into the street for some time. On
the opposite side from the outlet of this
sewer is another from the northerly side
of Main Street, the opening of which is
within few feet of the sidewalk on the
bridge and nearly opposite the
old grange buildings. When the water
was drawn off Thursday, the amount of
sewage and filth at these two openings
was truly nauseatiDg. 1t is suggested
that such condition in the very midst OF
the village is the possible source of
typhoid fever and the great amount of
village sickness. Why such conditions
exist with the apparent approval of the
local board of health is the question
asked by every one.
