Mr.. Haines proposes, if the deal can be salts
factorily made, to connect Belfast with Sears
port and Stockton Springs, and obtain the sup
ply from Boyd Lake in Prospect The water
in this lake is of an excellent quality and of

said to be equal to our present standpipe force.

it might be necessary to build standpipe on
what is known as the Stevens hill in East Bel
fast The city's interest in the hydrants, about
H. which have been put in since the city con-
tract was made, and the provision for two orna-
mental fountains, etc, are factors in the matter
The deal is said to hang only on tie amount
asked by the Belfast Water Company.
