EIGHT BALLOT BOXES
 IN EACH DISTRICT
Large Number Will Be Required for Town Election = Sample Ballots Have Been Received.

The largest number of ballot boxes that has ever been required at a town election will be in use next month when each district will have eight boxes, or total of 4S in the six dis tricts. Because 12 are locked up until the Higgins -Jodoin contest is over, it was necessary to have IT new boxes made. There will be box for the town ticket and another for the stub, one for the womens ticket and one for the stubs. The other four boxes will be for the two constitutional amendments, one each, one for free textbooks. and one for consolidation of schools. these last four having open ballots. The counting on October 2 can be realized long in advance.
 On Friday Town Clerk Holbrool< re- ceived the supply of pink sample town ballots containing the four. tickets and a blank column.
 This year a. new method of oting becomes effective. the law having been passed September 19, which day it becomes operative. This concerns chiefly the voting of a split ticket By the new law no cross should be placed in a circle if a split ticket is voted, but every name voted for on a split ticket must have 8 cross before it.

STONY BROOK DAM WELL ALONG
Pipeline Work Advanced That Contractors Will Finish About First of November-ReservoirF Forty Million Gallons Better Than Last Year

That the Petrossi company is mak- ing good progress on the Stony brook reservoir job was found to be so on the visit of the board of water com missioners to the resorvior on Thurs day afternoon. There were in the par ty President w. w. Lang, A. $. Com stock, Charles E. Briggs and A. A. Beckwith of the water board, Supt. J. J. Cofkery and Engineer s. B. Palm CT. There are now 167 men and % teams at work on the job, and the contractor considers that he is getting the work along we'll and as fast as he could expect to.
 The corewal1 is gradually going up, being now about 35 feet high at it's highest point, though the section at that height is not very long, As the corewaI goes up it is longer. and an other seven foot section on the top, it is expected, will complete it. At the same time the filling in both in front and below the dam is going along steadily. This is about seven feet lower than the corewal at the present time, but it is progressing well and a big hole is being made in the bank on the inside of the dam, from which point the material is being taken to make the embanlkment. The embank- ment below the corewall is being rip rapped. The bottom of the inside fill starts as far out in the basin as the gatehouse and gradually slopes to the top of the dam, so that when com pleted it will present a sloping sur face entirely paved with stone
 One or two other sections of the gatehouse have been constructed of concrete so that is about at the point where the top of the building can be constructed. On the front of the gate house will be placed a plate bearing the department name and date and

the names of the rembers of the water board as well as the superintendent
 The cleaning of the basin and the covering of the bottom with gravel is going on steadily, but this will be the last of the work to be completed.
 There is a good sized stream run ming through the brook at present, it being estimated that there are 180, ,000 gallons going through there every 24 hours.
 Along the pipe line the contractors are pushing the work and it is be- lieved that all three jobs will be com pleted about the same time, and it is thought this will be by the first of November The section which the de- partment is laying has reached a point near Pfeiffer's blacksmith shop in West Main street, while Contractor Gallup place Contractor Dodd is still blasting a way through the solid rock of Noble hill. the cut being deep one. He is making excellent head way, however.
 Fairview reservoir on Friday was 1s3 inches below highwater mark, which is two better than it was last year. This means over 40,000,000 gall Ions of water or over a months sup ply ahead of 1910 at this time of the year. The rainfall on Friday morn- ing amounted to 2S of an inch, or a total for the month of .91 of an inch, which is way below the average. 1t gave the brooks much help, however and the effect was very noticeable in the Trading Cove brook on Friday Plenty of water is being secured there for the pumping station. At Mohegan lake there is enough water coming in to counteract the evaporation, the wa ter being about 12 feet below full pond. It is, not being used at the present time.
