All New England has gone dry the country as well as the ci suffering from and ies are in the severest drouth the history of the couutry, and w conditlons nowhere are there i# no city in all New that is facing such a serious problem as Norwich is today. Commenting upon present condi- tlons in the vicinity of Boston, The Transeript of that city savs: “The drouth is not merely last and the year before that hav below the normal, but the 4 cating process has been zoing on for a ‘i ade. Defore 1900 the average annual rainfall was 46. inches. Since thne up to & year ago this average hss fallen so that the average figures for the decade were 42.6 inches, or nearly four Inehes below the normal. which in ten years would mean nearly an entire year's deficiency. This, added to the present year's strain upon our reduced moisture resources very read- ily accounts for the acuteness of the winter drouth.”™ The history of rainfalls shows that during the time records have been kept that the annual rainfall varies from inches to 60 inches a year, which gives an average or normal rainfall of 46 or 47 inches; but there is no record of an average ten yvears’ shortage which equals 1-3 feet on the level all over New KEngland. What an ocean of water that represents! The hope now is that 1911 may change the tide and that the January thaw ma) not only give r bu be sufficient in volume to strengthen our (mith that better days are to come. fir water year RATES RAISED 500 PER CENT.

The complaints made against High- way Commissioner MaeDonald are not for incompetefice but because his con- scientious conv. ons in relation to the state’s policy conflict with the greed of private interests. Commis- sloncr MacDonald can “read his title clear” and command the support of any honest man in the very presence of his foes.
