 last evening. Plans were made to ar- range for a joint meeting of the | Worthington and kensington water committees in regards to the laying | Of 12 inch water main from Towers corner New Britain to Jacobs cor ner It is expected that the meeting will be held shortly.
 Estimates which have been re- ceived show that difficulties will be reached when the Worthington Fire district begins laying mains on Der lin street. Because of the fact tltat there are cement gutters on both sides of Berlin street from the top of Galpin's hill to Damon-s hill, it will be necessary to lay two malns one on each side of the road. Present plans call for the laying of the moin on the inside of the sidewalks on the lawns and property of the taxpayers. It is not believed that the through the pavement.
 on the other ends of the turnpike weher ther are no gutters. one main will be laid and there is a machine which will dig under pavement for distance of 1 $ feet only. By this method pipes can be laid across the road.
