 A petition has been drawn up and signed by the men of the village, to be presented to the school board of the town, asking that pump or oth- CT means of water supply be estab- 1ished in the Staffordville school or on the premises. It is a reproaeh to the town that one of it's large schools, having eighty pupils, should have to annoy the neighbors and depend upon the unsanitary water pail for it's wa ter supply. A comparatively small expenditure would right matters. It is hoped that the school board will recognize the rights of the tax payers and children of Staffordville in the matter. ...-
