BERLIN NEWS PERLIN WELL WATER QUESTION SERIOUS sidents of Worthington Ridge ‘st Borrow From Neighbors N 123 FROM ople Asked to Have Receptacles in Ylrich to Place Mail—Prizes at ommunity annc—Church Notes -Berlin Items of Interest. POST OFFICE - \ . large number of the residents on ©in street are beginning to won~ where they. are going to be able » secure water for drinking, washing nd other parposes. rominent citi-+ .«ns of the town were seen this morn- inz walking Berlin street with pails under their arms filled with water which was procured from a neighbor whose well contained a few remain- ing dropss The wells on the street were reported to have gone dry sev- al weeks ago ‘bugit was not at first ought that the question would be- ome serious. Since that time, however, 'veral ore wells have gone completély dry h1ile others are not far from being To show ithe seriousness 6f the tuation it was estimated this morn- ng that ¢cery 10 families are draw- ngz their water supply from one well. There are at least six wells in the townawhich are absolutels dry and the majority of others are very low. It was also learned that the driven wells are holging out the longest of any. Monda{ is usually known as wash day but as one woman said this morning, “There will be no more washings in Berlin if water isn’t se- cured in some way or another.” With the dry well question the running -vater proposition is. again brought ¢> the minds of the public. The last session of the legislature passed a bill allowing the City of New Britain to sell water to both the Worthington and Kensington fire districts. Both of the districts have held meetings regarding the situation and believe that the Town of Berlin as well as Kensington should’ have water, but, it’ is cliimed by many, that it will be at least five years be- fore the mains are laid and water briught into the town. The fire at the Donnelly brickyard yesterday was - another incident to prove that Berlin needs running wa- ter. It is quite natural that the town cannot have any sort of a fire depart- ment unless it has running water and as a result fires cannot be extin- guished without the aid of the New Britain department which is handi- capped by not having water. Postoffice Notes . The government has issued a notice to both the Berlin and Kensington postoffices in regards to having all buildings and homes properly marked with the street address. This notice s sent to every postmaster be he fourth class or first.
