Weeks of work under difficulties are
having a telling effect on the Bolster
reservoir repairs and if some OF the han
dicaps that hindered operations during
the late winter and early spring do not
reappear the big basin will have been
completely restored in another fortnight.
Just now a gang of II men is at work
around the spillway and in a season when
la Dor has been unusually scarce the wa
ter department figures that it is for
tunate in being able TO continue the
work. One wing of the spillway, solid
concrete wall, was finished last week and
the forms in the spillway proper are al !
ready to be filed. The department has |
erected an enginehouse and set a hoist |
near the mouth OF the reservoir and |
Waterman is stationed on the grounds |
every night.

when the Tenney company will have its
representatives present to join in the
comforting Tonight the aldermanie
board assemblies for its weekly meeting
and in the present unsettled condition of
affairs it is improbable that relations
with the Montpelier council and the trac-
tion company will be discussed. The
street committee expects to have ready
bearing on the stone
crusher, the location of which is more or
less a bone of friendly contention among
the granite manufacturers.

the Norwich team Saturday, Coach

mainder OF the week to put them into
condition to meet the Vermont Seconds

his men through a strenuous week in |
making preparations for the big drive
which is to commence next Friday after

pus in their opening matinee of the year. ,
