WELLS RIVER

Woodsville last Friday evening il wa,
voted to put in the new waterworks that
nave been under discussion for some time
The option of the water property situ.
ated between Haverhill and East Hayer.
mil was voted to be accepted and that
a detailed report be made at the next
March meeting, after which it is expect
ed that the work will be begun. This
will give Woodsville water system Of
good drinking water and will place II
| independent of the railroad which now
controls the system under the name of
| the Woodsville Aqueduct Co. The pur
chase price OF water privilege was around
$4,000. There has been some talk of in
teresting the people in Wells River in
TINS system, thus giving them this wa
ter; but this looks like doubtful un.
dertaking, owing to the large number
OF springs which surround the village on
all sides and which would, if properly de-
veloped, give all the water needed FOR
Wells River and many village Of the
same size.
The sale OF Monteith place at McIn,
does was reported last week This farm.
which controls the water rights of the
Connecticut river in that place, is stu.
ated in the village proper and contains
a large amount of meadow land. The
sale was made by johnson, the present
owner, to a man in Waterford for $40.
700, an Increase of about $4,000 over
what he paid for it several years ago.
This brings to mind the report that
Ford has had agents all through this see.
ton buying in such sites and there is no
doubt but what his agents have care.
tully examined this property, but the
logical opinion here is that ii means the |
erection of pulp and paper mill, posi- |
bly, by the 9. V.,L Co. If either project
turns out correct it means the making |
OF the place, putting it back on the Yer |
mont map once again
