With the going down of the wind,
the water again covered the suction
at the fire plant this morning and there
Is now, according to reports, water
aplenty. The retreat of the sea gave
the deparement a chance to do some
much needed work on the pipes and
valves and the suction has been thor
oughly cleaned and the pipes flushed
out.

lino of entertainment and every one
attending is guaranteed the time of
their life.
The storm abated considerably dur
ing the night and the heavy wind was
replaced with a light snow fall which
has continued through the day. In
quiry at Safety shortly before nine

A message from Alfred Lomen last

no travel up there owing to the heavy
snow and there is little prospect that
