The water supply on Piety Hill is not what it ought to be or what the importance of property interests in that part of the town demands. For domestic purposes the supply is very limited, while for fire purposes it is wholly inadequate. This was fully demonstrated last night. Had the fire occurred at a point where the houses are closer to each other the firemen could have done but little good with the puny stream at their command, and the fire would have, destroyed much valuable property. The fact that the residences are scattered considerably in most places on the hill is one advantage in preventing the spread of fire. But that portion of our town should be provided with a better water supply. » By taking water from the ditch at Town Talk and running it into a reservoir not far ‘below and then conducting it in pipes to Piety Hill, a fine pressure could be obtained and an abundant supply secured. Steps should be taken to bring about an improve= ment of this kind. ccaeiipiee a, A Splendid Breakfast Dish. Soak the mackerel in cold water over night, take up and wipe dry, Rub both sides of the fish lightly with butter and place on a greased gridiron.~ Set it over a pretty sharp fire, and broil it on both sides.

The water supply on Piety Hill is not what it ought to be or what the importance of property interests in that part of the town demands. For domestic purposes the supply is very limited, while for fire purposes it is wholly inadequate. This was fully demonstrated last night. Had the fire occurred at a point where the houses are closer to each other the firemen could have done but little good with the puny stream at their command, and the fire would have, destroyed much valuable property. The fact that the residences are scattered considerably in most places on the hill is one advantage in preventing the spread of fire. But that portion of our town should be provided with a better water supply. » By taking water from the ditch at Town Talk and running it into a reservoir not far ‘below and then conducting it in pipes to Piety Hill, a fine pressure could be obtained and an abundant supply secured. Steps should be taken to bring about an improve= ment of this kind. ccaeiipiee a, A Splendid Breakfast Dish. Soak the mackerel in cold water over night, take up and wipe dry, Rub both sides of the fish lightly with butter and place on a greased gridiron.~ Set it over a pretty sharp fire, and broil it on both sides. When done, ‘lay the fish, skin side under, on a hot platter. Spread buttér over it, ley and pour over the whole a half cupful of warm cream, or serve it with a maitre @hotel batter spread over it.
