more. So far. however, no typhoid

any Of the samples of water that have
been tested. Two of the wells that
have ben given a clean bill of health
as far as typhoid germs are concerned
are the Lester well on Warren street
and the Morgan well in Greeneville
The worst that has been shown in any
OF the water tested has been high
percentage of chlorine, which would
indicate sewage contamination.
DR.. Lewis also took new samples

The ANALYSES OF these did not very ma

Averill is widely known in Hart

Is one Of the few thirty third degree
MasonsL in Connecticut and he al

has never allowed himself to become
a victim OF the memorandum or note
book habit. but has schooled his
mind to retain information Lawyers
who have done business with his
office have always found him a verb

about. cases before the courts IN his
time and he can usually give them
ofrhand information without ref
erence to his files. Mr.. Averill was a
close friend of the late Solomon Lucas,
one OF Connecticut's most famous
prosecutors and he was deeply NOV
ed when Mr.. Lucas was stricken
by fatal illness in the court room
at Norwich several years ago. II
was not exactly easy to win the con-
fidence of Mr.. AverilI, but those who
succeeded in doing SO find him a
