Kill the Tussock Moths In The Phoenix Letter
Charles B Rockwell urges readers to curb the Tussock moths that stripped horse chestnut leaves.

Water supply switch ties Echo Lake to Bristol Warren system
Echo Lake was connected with Bristol and Warren Water Works at 8 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Most Warren and Barrington patrons are now supplied. Bristol remains on Rickemuit supply. Rickemuit reservoirs are nearly depleted, raising concern until expected rain refills streams and cisterns. Pumping hours at Rickemuit will stay 6 a.m. to 12 noon and 5 to 7 p.m. for several days.
