The Bay State Dredging company 
have completed their work here and the 
dredger and barges left the harbor Tues- 
day morning. The river channel has

expense of the state. 
The gasolene tank supplying the Town 
hall with gas, which has not happened 
to have been put to practical use for over 
a year, has been filled the psat week and 
the lights in the hall tested. “This was 
brought about by the fact that last week 
on the occasion of the Sacred Heart 
church concert the electric lights were 
out of condition and most of the evening 
the only light on the stage was that pro- 
vided by halfa dozen lanterns. “Though 
the tank was half full of gasolene, 
eighteen barrels having been placed there 
last winter, the lights would not work, 
the gas having slowly escaped in the long 
interval it was not in use. 
Had to Use Water, Said 
Kimball, Draining Glass. 
It was at a meeting of the Massachu- 
setts Highway Association, and Superin- 
tendent of Streets George Kimball of 
Manchester was explaining the use of 
calcium chloride as road dressing. More 
than 100 automobilists and roadway en- 
thusiasts were gathered about the tables, 
on which stood glasses holding a bounti- 
ful supply of—water. 
“We found,’’ Mr. Kimball declared, 
with a sweep of his arm, ‘‘we eid 
that-—(pausing and swallowing a glass of 
water )—we were obliged to use water.’’ 
The roar of laughter that followed 
unbalanced the gravity of the sedate 
gathering for the rest of the meeting. —
