Need STORAGE Tanks

The need of big storage tank or tanks
for taryia and Oil for use in the street
department has been brought out strong
~ this year. Every time load of either
material has arrived the rains have de-
scended SO that it has been impossible
to unload the cars, sometimes for sew
eral weeks. This has caused the demur-
rage charges to pile up SO that the cost
to the city in demurrage would practical
~ have paid for tank this season. In
the opinion of the officials of the street
department, tank which would hold at
least 10000 gallons should be purchased
and be ready for use early In the spring,
so that the tarvia will always be on hand
and will be ready for use when roads and
weather conditions are favorable This
has been impossible this year, as when
carload has arrived it has been necessary
to get it onto the streets in the shortest
possible time to save expense, and as
result some streets which had been COM
pleted had to wait several weeks for the
next carload before they could be treated.
The experience of Waterville has proven
to the satisfaction of the city officials
that street built of gravel and given a
prompt treatment of tarvia retains its
surface and resists wear better than any
thing else except the highly expensive
concrete streets. The larger part Of the
streets of the city have now been given
a good coating Of gravel and it is felt
that with a reasonable amount of care
they can be kept in good condition for
travel at all times.

will be made Thursday, Sept. %, and all
those who have them ready will kindly
leave them with Miss Mary E. Redng-

sible. 1t is hoped that a large number
of these bags may be sent this year as
in no other way can the great numbers
of soldiers in France be made SO happy
at Christmas time.
Last year nearly 300 of these comfort
bags were sent over from this section and
many grateful letters Of acknowledgment
were received, and although the local
branch Of A. F. F. W. has discontinued
its active work as an organization the
sending Of comfort bags will be contin-
ued from time to time The comfort
bags sent at this time will reach their
destination overseas in plenty Of season
