| Local fishermen are now speculat-
| ing as to when the ice will go ont of
| the lakes and ponds. Reports from
| Green lake to-day show that there is
| lttle likelihood of the ice going out
| pe1ore Sunday, though there is con-
| siderable open water, and a strong
wind that would start the ice moving
might clear the pond before Sunday,
Branch pond and Beech Hill pond
| usually open about the same time as
Green lake, while Patten pond usual
iy opens two or three days later. 1t
LOOKS very much as if the Sunday
| nshermen will have to be patient
another week.
Another analysis has been made
of Ellsworth's public water supply by
the State laboratory of hygiene. A
letter accompanying the analysis
says; Analysis of the sample of
water from your public supply, which
we received on April 7, shows this
water to be in good condition to use
for drinking purposes at this time.
There is neither chemical nor bacte-
biological evidence of contact of this
water with pollution. AS long as
the water is maintained in the con-
dition represented by this sample, it
should not cause disease among it's
users, and can be considered a safe
one to use for drinking and all house
hold purposes"
