Notes for Wednesday – June 08, 2016

On June 8th, 1776, Canadian Governor Sir Guy Carleton defeated American Patriot forces under John Sullivan. After taking heavy losses and the loss of General Richard Montgomery at Quebec, the Patriots were pursued by Governor Carleton.

There was always a distinct smell that the grey water imparted to his house. He combated this several ways, and the most effective was to use a chlorine system on the holding tank. However, this made the water unsuitable for disposal in a septic …
