 Complaints of Overflow. Numerous complaints have been heard around the Kensington district the past several weeks in regard to the overflow from the N. Y. N. H. & H. R. R.. Co.'S sewer which has an outlet at the foot of the walk. at the corner by P J. Kelly's property. From all indications there must be a blockade in the main sewer and when there Is an overflow from the water tank then there Is a fine young
 
 Farmington road until it reaches the catch basin under the bridge. Within the last week the rush of water has been so great that a small gully has been worn in the roadbed from the exit under the walk to the entrance l under the bridge. While the water 1 looks as if it were pure overflow from 1 the tank the fact remains that 1t Is l damaging the road and the matter 1 should be looked into at once before an accident occurs. At this place l the depot road and the main road come together and if the wheel of 1 a team or an automobile became l caught in the rut there is no telling how far the vehicle would be thrown l It is said that the pump is started at some point, presumable at the pow ! CT house, where there Is no change 1 of knowing when enough water has 1 been pumped and this results in the l frequent overfowing. ] Christmas Entertainment.

LOCAL AUTO AGENTS
PREPARE FOR SEASON
VARIOUS DEALERS PUT LATEST
MODELS ON DISPLAY IN SALES.
ROOMS THIS WEEK.

/ With the automobile season, a sea-
SON that it is expected to be mighty
busy one. just opening up, local
agents of the various makes of cars
on the market have been preparing
themselves during the last few days
by unloading and putting on display
the new models.
The latter part ct last week Elmer
G. Tew, local agent for the Maxwell
and Hudson cars, unloaded carload
of Maxwells and drove them to his
new garage on East Fourth street.
At about the same time the Bronson
& La Cue Auto company received it's
first shipment of the new Model SO
Overlands, while the fore part of this
week J. B. Eshom and associates of
the Olympia Garage drove three Of
the new Buick Skies over from Sc
attic.
Dealers in various lines are already
experiencing difficulty in obtaining
shipments and they all expect to have
more or less trouble during the sea-
son, because of the big demand for
cars and transportation delays. Just
as an illustration, Elmer Tew has
been unable to get q demonstration of
the new Super-Six Hudson and the
Seattle distributors came to his rescue
the other day and sent over a
car that he was able to display to
many interested persons for only a
few hours one Sunday afternoon be-
fore he had to send it along to an
other agency. And the Bronson &
La Cue company, which has recently
received many inquiries concerning
the new Model Is Overland, the low
est-priced of the several models made
by this company. finally went over to
Centralia and drove over a touring
car model and placed it in the dis
play window of their new garage at
Seventh and Main streets this week.
They expect their first shipment of
these cars in about 10 days.
