Committee Holds Meeting.

Tho committee of tho Kcnsington
 fire district met last night in the
 office of the district. The meeting
 was a short one, as practically the
 only business 10 come up was the payment of several bills.
 X leak in tho waterman on the
 Swamp road took up some time, as
 considerable difficulty has been eN- perienced in repairing it. This is one
 Of the l.-inch mains and if it were
 not for the fact that kersngton is securing water from the other end of the line, the service would have 10
 be suspended for some time. As it
 is, this leak is crippling but one pioee
 of property in the district. Men
 were on the job today repairing the l break.
