Proposal To Construct Additio nal
Village Reservoir On The ShOn-
yo BrOok-WeeIxIy Events.

"A SRGNAAA mCClAAE was nC4O
\ Friday evening to consider the re-
port Of the trustees in regard to an
additional water supply. The report
favors the Shoyno brook, which they
think can by the construction of a
small reservoir, for which there is
an ideal location and without great
expense be made available. This
will be sufficiently high to reach all
the district east of the track and will
supplement the present system in
times of drought. The East Burke
stream and the Sheffield stream were
also spoken of, but there were OBJ
| jections to both. The report was
accepted and it was voted to have a
competent engineer investigate all
these sources and make an estimate
of the cost of construction, to be re-
ported at an adjourned meeting to
be held in two weeks, May 2S. L. d.
