MONTPELIER
No Further Shortage of City Water
Expected This Year.

The increase in the height of water
in the Berlin ponds. from which the
city gets its water supply, has stopped
the dredging which N. @. Ferry, wa.
ter commission, had well under way.
This is the first time in five years
that the channel in the lower pond
has been cleaned out. Even what
work they were able to do made a
considerable improvement in conditions
SO that the storage of water was re
marksbly increased and it took care of
the city's supply for two weeks before
the big rain occurred. The rain of last
week which did so much damage to
the streets in Montpelier has placed
the water at a height where pumping
win net be needed further this year
Commissioner Ferry and the water

crease the height Of one Of the dams
