river into Fairview reservoir when oe- casion demanded. No action was taken.
 Fairvisw Enlarged.
 On July IS. 1902. after another city election, the board of water commis- sioners rescinded their vote to estab- he lish EeservoiT at st4Rny broek. pale The CT to present plans and estimates for raising the dam at Fatrview. This plan as developed was adopted Sept. of ths same year. Work was begun at once and the storage capacity of the reservoir was increased 100, ,000, ,000 gallons.
 The results have given eVidsnce that the almost unanimous reports or the engineers were correct regarding fur ther expenditures at Fairview. With two succeeding dry years we are as short of water as ever. Within two years the Meadow brook dam has been rebuilt at a large expense. Everything has been done to prevent waste, but thu need of more watershed has been amply demonstrated The city has, however by the delay saved enough in interest to more than pay for one third of any of the projects.
 Recent Events.
 Recent events need no extended com nent The water board, a majority of whom have been in office only month. have voted to adopt the Pease brook scheme. The executive committee,
 
 plan along, and the council has not de- layed. We have again reached the point where the citizens may express them selves, if given the opportunity. In adopting this recent vote four of the water commissioners were present at the meeting and all voted for it. One member was not in favor of Pease brook. but believed 1t was vital mat ter to get water. no matter what II cost. The remaining water commis- eioner has declared himself opposed to Pease brook.
 Judge Gardiner Greene. in an opin- ion rendered Feb. s. 1901. as corpora ton counsel. gave as his opinion thai the board of water commissioners can proceed to develop any water project without any further action in city meeting. It is interesting to know whether this condition still exists:
 Five engineers who have investigat- cd the water problem of Norwich have without exception declared the Stony brook plan as feasible and compara lively low in cost The principal ob- jection to Pease brook schems is fhf enormous debt that it will create, Onl, one engineer has declared in favor of that plan. and the reliability of his data has been publicly questioned. The city engineer is now occupied in veri- flying the government figures used as a basis of the report of Hill, Quick & Allen. %$@

Indian man came to him and wanted him
to go with him and see his wife. So father
followed him 10 his wigwam- When he got
there he found the woman lying on a bed
OF furs. suffering from cramps. So he made
q mustard plaster and put II on her But
not understanding that e. doctor often has
to hurt to help, she would jerk off the
plaster as soon as 1t began TO burn. At
last father told her husband 70 hold the
plaster on, but instead OF holding It ne sat
