The Somerset Borough Council
has awarded to W.J. Ferner of that
town, the contract for the construc-
tion of a new reservoir with a capac-
ity of 500,000 gallons at a cost of
$4,600. The new reservoir will be of
concrete and will adjoin the one now
in use. When it is finished the town:
will have a reservoir wth a capacity
of 1,000,000 gallons. The new reser-
voir will be supplied by two wells.
The Lutherans of Cairnbrook and
Central City have started a movement
for the erection of a new church
building in Cajirnbrook. The Grace
church built 1871 a mile distant is
the nearest house of worship in that
community and it is believed that with
the nucleus already there a strong
branch of the denomination could be
built up in the twin towns. The ad-
visability of dividing the charge, mak-
ing Grace and Cairnbrook one separ-
ate charge, is also strongly talked of,
provided the new Cairnbrook project
