 Water Connections.
 Considerable comment is being heard about kensngton regarding the fact that only one concern has re- ceived the contract for connecting the various houses with water mains. Sev- eral people have said that the work is not being done fast enough for this reason.
 People are allowed to have the ditches dug by whom they wish. but the work of connecting must be don- by A. A. Mills of New Britain. Sev- eral have raised the question, Why can't we hire anyone we choose to connect the mains and the houses?" People who are anxious to have the work done must wait until their turn comes. while if they were allowed to have the connecting done themselves. they might have water installed in theiX|houses in a short time.
