The exdiation of the Comrffonige draiii
into Adamstown is a work that is inuch
needed, and has boon looked forward to with
much interest by the aldermen and the rosi
dents generally. Its construction will prove
a great boon to those residing on the low
lands, and should increase the value of pro.
perty materially. The watercourse will also
render the land set apart for a racecourse
perfeootly dry and remove any excuse from
bringing the land into use on account of its

for the progress of the suburbs, and the three
trustees who reside in Adamstown are ovi

struction of the Adamstown branch drain is
proceeding it is intended to take steps to have
the big useless drain at the side of the Lamb
ton-road filled in. The old drain takes in all
the footpath. The Adametown Council
filled in a portion of the drain within their
district, and it has proved a great benefit to
the residents in that locality. If Hamilton
and Adamstown councils can arrange mat
ters with those who have chargo of the work,
the dirt from the noew drain can conveniently
be tipped into the old chanflel.
