Eradication Object
Of Tuberculin Test

HalloWell people may well feel safe
as regards the existence of tuberculosis
among the milk-producing cattle OF
this vicinity, according to DR.. J. L.
Reidy, federal livestock Inspector,
who is III charge of eradication work
among the tubercuiar infected animals
in this part of the country and WHO
has his headquarters at the State
House in Augusta. DR.. Reidy writes
IS practically free from the disease
among the producing cattle and
that they have reason to be proud OF
what has been accomplished, as the
city is far ahead in progressive
methods of many of the other cities
outnumbers ours.
Many people do not understand why
the law requiring such testing was
passed. It's object is the eradication
of the disease or the carriers Of the
disease among cattle. An animal only
slightly infected will react to treat
mcnt just as quick as the animal
whose lungs are rotten. True it Is,

Annual Report of Gardiner Water
District

! The report of the Gardiner Water
! District for the year ending 1927 says:
The year 1921 for the Gardiner Water
District has been one Of constructive
betterments and improvements, as has
been the case with almost every year
since the water works were taken over
by the district.
! perhaps the average citizen is not
sufficiently acquainted with the extent
to which the district has grown dur
ing the last eight or ten Years, but to
the trustees this growth has be, n very
evident and during 1921. as well as
heretofore. they have always endeav-
ored to meet this dded gworth with
the replacement or addition of modern
equipment which would keep the dis
uict up to its desired efficiency
This year the old Blake pumn
"hich has been in service for 81 years
las been replaced by modern Trim
ltT pump with pumping capacity Of
''p00,o0o gallons of water every "A
hours as against a capacity of / 800
900 gallons every "a hours with the
old Blake pump. There has also been
installed an electrical unit in the form
of 100-horsc power motor directly
, connected with the larger centrifugal
pump the capacity of which has been
increased to 100000 of water every
It hours. With this equipment the
demands of the district can be taken
care OF at any time without resorting
to the use of water for power, Which
is large factor durin" the dry sea
sons, Or by the use of the entire
equipment, three times The present
demands can be cared for.
In addition to the improvements
at the pumping station there haze
been 400 feet Of l ii inch pipe on
llaisted street replaced with inch
! pipe, and on High Holhorn street 700
/ feet of . inch pipe has been replaced
with inch pipe. There have also
! been added SO new services this year.
/ On Dennis street there has been an
extension of 80 feet Of 6 inch pipe
! These improvements and additions
| forcibly testif" to the continued
growth and demands which are made
on the district tfrom' year to year.
! In conclusion the trrsteee would
record their belief that, with the pres
{ ent working equipment. the Gardiner
! Water District will he found as well,
/ if not better equipped ttan any other
plant of its size in New England"
The report shows q substantial bal
ance on hand. The tables giving the
record of the pumping are interesting
! In 1921 there were pumped 1880
! 200 as against 243,174,C0r of ten years
ago and oil, 100000 in 1904, the first
year given in the tables 1t will thus
be seen that very nearly double the
number of gallons have been pumped
during the last year thar were in 1904
In 1921 the cost of pumping per 100
gallon was .005316 as against .00E42G
of ten years ago and .09397.
The rainfall for the year was 36.49
