KRUEGER Plrone 20r41 Crediton TAXES NEARLY ALL PAID Stephen Township have every rea­ son to congratulate themselves on the splendid manner in which the taxes have been paid for the year 1934. Out of a total levy of $48,- 139.62 the aimount uncollected is only $365.21. Considering the times and in comparison with other mun­ icipalities this is a splendid showing and not only reflects great credit upon the residents of the township but also upon the collector, Mr. F. W. Morlock, NO WATER The well drillers at the river are now down to. a depth of 400 feet without having struck any quantity of water and the Public’ Utilities Commission are now confronted with the problem of what to do next. For several weeks the drillers have been sinking a twelve incth well. At the 300 ft. depth a quantity of water was reported. This is the ap­ proximate depth at which thi*ee smaller rock wells in. this municip­ ality located water. The contract called for a 350 ft. well and when a sufficient supply of water was not secured the Commission decided to go down an additional fifty feet. The Ccimmission will meet with Engineer B'leming this evening to decide on what further action to take. To go deeper in the present well would mean an increased cost in pumping the water to the surface should a sufficient supply of water be located. .... .... -^ ,. y ■» ARM FRACTURED The (many friends of Mrs. Janet Hamilton will regret to know that she had the misfortune to fall and fracture her right*arm above the wrist on Wednesday morning, was attended by Dr. Dunlop.

PROPERTY OWNERS TO DISCUSS NEW SIDEWALK The owners of the property- on Main Street between Ann and Sand­ ers Street have been invited to a meeting in the Town Hall Thursday evening to discuss with the .council the proposition o»f laying new cement sidewalks in that area. The remov­ al of the curb from the roadway through the main business section of the town last year has. created a situation that calls for attention. The unpaved strip at the side of the pavement cannot be properly com­ pleted without a definite .curb at the edge of the sidewalk. With the present uneven condition of the side­ walks a new curb would create num­ erous water-holes along the side­ walk. Thus before making any plans for the improvement of tihe strip between the sidewalks and the cement pavement and also taking into consideration the new electric light standards to be placed through­ out this area, the council has deem­ ed it advisable to consult with the property owners affected and dis­ cuss the 'whole situation. The pro­ posal is that sh'ould a new sidewalk meet with the approval of the pro­ perty owners it would toe put down under the Local Improvment Act the property owners paying a per­ centage of the cost spread over period of years. a THE LATE MRS.
