Letters to

T To ,the. Editor,
I have long wanted to write
regarding the lack of news
from Lucknow village and

For the second time in two weeks,
Main Street residents and shop owners
realized the old saying, "You never
miss the water 'till the well runs dry".
Tire first break was a broken connection
that tapped the big main. This had not
been repaired long, when water started
bubbling to the surface through the fill.
The digging out process started all over
again and the trouble this time was
discovered to be a split main. This was
repaired with a collar and healed and
water service was restored again in time
for the `.`Saturday night bath".
