sldo of main street from dr sangsters corner west to the last house belonging to alex scott tho water services extending from the main across the roadway here aro quite close together and most of them aro thoroughly rotten and any leak at this time might do untold damage to our fine paved road by extending a permanent main on tho north side each service could bo cut off from under the roadway thus eliminating the danger of bursting pipes injuring tho road and at the same time doing away with a number of rotten sorvlces that aro known to have outlined the life of the pipes any undertaking of this kind would in our opinion improve the system and a flno thing about it is that tho money is now in the bank to pay for the job which is said roughly to run around 600 or 700 possibly loss now tho system is paid for there aro somo improvements such as this that ought to bo gone on with when tho money is availablo and wo trust that councillor weldon will have support in looking into the possi bility of this work in tho near future sivo improvements to the park were carried out last year and further extensions aro being planned for 1934 including tho erection of a new flag pole now on the
