1880: Trials and Tribulations of the Constable

1930: SOUTHERN AREA OF HAMILTON LACKS WATER

THERE WAS AN ATTEMPT TO DO JUST THAT BACK IN THE 1800'S, BUT FOR SOME REASON THE PROJECT WAS ABANDONED. PERHAPS A TRENTON-HAMILTON-BORDENTOWN MARSH PERSON KNOWS THE ANSWER. THERE WAS SUPPOSEDLY AN ETERNAL SUPPLY OF SPRING WATER JUST WAITING TO BE PROCESSED.
