 Brook Causes Trouble and Loss
 After the flood experiences of Sun day in DanieIson there is a demand from many quarters for an investiga- tion for the purpose of determining some manner of controlling the brook that r1oWS rom near the Old People s home down, underground, to the Con- gregational church, under Academy and Center streets, across properties to Furnace street, and eventually into the Assawauga river. This brook, during freshet periods, has been a cause of damage for many years It is also nuisance in other ways, and at times has been used as a sewer. Some prop erty owners who have been caused damage by reason of the fact that it over4ows, have reached the point of eXasperation over the matter and want some action taken ito prevent future happenings like that of Sunday, when the brook was to blame for most of the trouble and damage.
