Teryville, Dec. 16-A petition is being circulated among residents of Hillside Park and West Main street and will be presented to Selectman William Eustice within the next couple of days. to be brought before the Board of Selectmen of Ply mouth urging them to do all in their power to eliminate the nuis- ance on Elm street. It is the street leading from Main street to Hillside Park consisting of the stagnant pool of water caused by the drainage on U. 8. Route No. 6 as the entrance to the street and section becomes im- passable and children are obliged to wade through water up to their ankles after each rain.
 The pool of water has formed in Bunnell's meadow, which is several feet lower than either Main street or Hillside park, caused by the drainage system under the state highway becoming blocked with re- fuse and unable to carry off wa ter.
 Following each rain, the pool flows over the entrance of Hillside Park and across Main street, mak- ing it necessary to walk through several inches of water at times.
 While the petition is being pre- sented among the voters and pro- perty owners in the western section of the town, residents of the other sections of the town, knowing of the condition existing at that point have also signed the petition with the result 1t is expected over 150 signatures will be on the paper when 1t is presented to Selectman William Eustice.
