In October. 1908, the standpipe was painted inside and ‘outside, and while it was out of use water pressure was maintained by constant pumping, and no reserve was available for fire pur- poses or for accident to the system. Next year it will be necessary to re- pair the old standpive and in view of the large additional fire protection, the water department decided upon this additional storage, to avoid the dam- age from a shorfage of water while this work is being done. A concrete standpipe of the char- acter to be constructed on Quarry hill will last for all time _and there will be little, if any, annual cost for main- tenance. A number of these rein- forced concrete steel standpipes have been constructed during the past two years, and are in successful use. The Westerly waterworks is of the pymping system from driven wells, d the water has been shown by analysis to be the purest in the state. Fourteen new two and ome- half inch wells have been added to the system, making the total number of wells now in use fifty-three. The to- tal quantity of water pumped has been 737,100 gallons, a daily average of 752,300 gallons. The increase in pumpage over last year has been 18,- 677,700 gallons. A dog belonging to a Wakefield man strayed away and a reward of $25 was offered for its return. Someone reported that a dog answering the description of the one lost had been seen in Westerly and Tom Totten came here in an automobile in search of the barker. He stopped at Smith's garage, and incidentally asked if the dog which he described had been seen in that vicinity. He was informed that the dog had been virtually kicked out the Minchen yard and out of the garage. ‘While Totten . was talking, the sought for dog put in an appearance and he was picked up by Totten and placed in the automobile. Before start- ing for the return trip, Totten Te- marked: “It doesm’t always pay to kick even a dog; there is a reward of $25 for this particular pup, and I'll hasten away and do the collecting; not a real naughty day’s wor Albert N.

Ridgebury Rock Ledge Might Prove \Profi(-bln Venture if Mined. ‘Without the borders of Ridgebury village there is a ledge of rock com- posed chiefly of a micaceous deposit. The indications of mica in this vicin- ity are not alogether a rare discov- ery for there are many of these quar- ries in this part of the country. The location of this mica bed is only a short distance from the village proper. The exact quantity contained in this particular ledge cannot be correctly determined unless more closely in- spected. If outward appearances have any bearing on what might be found farther in the deoths of h there would undoubtedly be ample material disclosed to make it an object for pros- pectors to engage in developing what might prove to be a mine of import- ance. There is always a demand for this quality of mineral as the use of the mica is valuable for many pur- poses and after a thorough investiga- on made on thi: reperty, if the amount found sheuld prove to be suf. ficient to warrant further operations the money invested wor in return bring in a fair profit to the specula- tor.
