Residents of Bridgeport are reâ€" portedly up in arms over the terriâ€" efic stench that is donated free by the Waterloo sewer farm. There is little wonder that they complain, for when the wind is right, the smell The mere fact that average John Citizen has to foot the bill for all the damage done to his already rattling jalopy, â€" after he has smashed and bumped over a couâ€" ple of the prize crossings in the ‘Iwin Cities really doesn‘t amount to anything any way. Waterioo County‘s Largest and Newsiest We understand by now that there is no use in saying anything about what the railways do around Waâ€" terloo and Kitchener. Evidently they are in the same category as was Hirohito before that son of heaven got mud on his shoes. There is going to be a payâ€"off une of these fine days, and it won‘t be the railways that have to foot the bill. L If our esteemed Town Fathefs would do something other than arâ€" sue between themselves; the railâ€" ways would have to get busy and fix their crossings and that portion of the road where the tracks now take up space.

Probably because the main road is so bad, few motorists when they cave it ure prepared for the clevâ€" urly concenied holes in pavements wff the main drag. There are at least two or three of them on Erb Street alone, and there is a regulat "game pit" on Victoria St., in front of Foell‘s.

Six Mile Walk Nothing Unusual To Elderly Woman Water Situation Still Tight In Waterloo; No New Well Waterloo. â€" Superintendent Eby Khush of Waterloo Public Utilities Commission said that Waterloo reâ€" sidents are coâ€"operating "fairly well" with a request to discontinue sprinkling of their lawns during the serious water shortage. ‘"‘There are a few who are not complying with our request," he said, "but as a whole the coâ€"operaâ€" tion has been pretty fair." It was pointed out by Mr. Rush that the acute water shortage situation is as serious as ever. This year the growing population, coupled with the expansion of inâ€" dustries, domestic and industrial consumption resulted in daily conâ€" sumption breaking all previous records. Approximately 300,000 more galâ€" lons of water a day are being pumped this summer over the corresponding period of last year. The Superintendent again apâ€" pealed to residents not to use the water for sprinkling of their lawns and gardens as the present wells cannot continue to supply the demand. Efforts to locate a new source of water supply on Dearborn St. W. also have proved a failure: Orer- utors drilled down about 130 feet, Mr. Rush said, but the prospects were not good. This was the sixth cttempt to find a new well. The PVU.C. will continue to search for another water source as the demands are proving to be too great a strain on the town wells.
