GRACE CHURCH TO
 HAVE NEW PEWS
Replace Folding Chairs {; Park Bubbler Is Much
 Appreciated
WATERvILLE

One or the major Improvements to be accomplished at Grace Methodist church in the near fu- ture will be the installation of permanent pews in the church auditorium. The pews will replace the portable folding chairs which have been in use for several years and will complete another import ant step in the program of improve ments undertaken since Rev. Null ford Simonson assumed the pas- torate. The chancel platform has been rebuilt and other necessary improvements accomplised and the installation of permanent pews is practically the only thing to be done in improving the auditorium proper. The members of the Lad ies Aid society are engaged in making the cushion for the pews. It is hoped that they can be in place for the Founders Day exer- cises which are scheduled for next month.
 Works Board Installed Bubbler
 The new water bubbler which has been erected in the Waterville Park is thoroughly appreciated by all who have occasion to visit thO PbAhp pdl Uy tuC yOoAlS people who use the facilities of the have given credit to the Park de- partment for this improvement. The credit belongs however, to the Board of Commissioners of Pub- lie works who proceeded with the work when the Park department had turned a deaf ear to requests for the drinking fountain for more than two years. The installation was properly the job of the Park Department and a request was made last year that they plan for the project in the 1884 budget. No action was taken. This spring in- terested members of the Works Board pointed out the necessity of the drinking fountain and obtained approval of the Mayor to have the work done by the Water depart ment. Regardless of to whom the credit should go it is gratifying to note that children particularly now have an available source of drinking water near the play ground area.
