reservoir shall be stopped and that a
fence of sufficient height TO prevent ac-
cess to the water should be constructed.
! The boating and fishing on Berlin pond

Gently oiled and new sidewalk has been
laid so that it is tearing up one of the
best streets in the city at the present
time if the permanent work is done
! there.
