About the Weather

Waterville's first real spring day
greeted the people yesterday. The
sun shown brightly and the air had
a balmy touch the like of which has
not been felt for many months. All
the afternoon the streets were
thronged with pedestrians nearly
equal in number to the election day
crowd.
In the business section Of the city
all of the snow has left the streets
leaving only thin layer of ice. The
streets are completely bear in many
places, and the bear spots were en-
larged very noticibly by yesterdays
warm sun. In the residential sec
tons the people have not been so
fortunate. In many places the side
walks are flooded and present veri-
table rivers. In places they are
nearly impossible and it is necessary
to make detours over the neighbour
ing lawns. There is still. much snow
in the country districts and the au-
tomobilists are having their troubles.
