The study group will meet Wednesday in Concord to dicuss bringing back rail service from Boston to Montreal. The line would include stops in Manchester, Concord and Lebanon.

A lack of rain has resulted in a boom in business for well-digging companies. Homeowners who rely on wells first discovered water supply problems in August. Now, a large number of them need new wells and they're finding themselves on waiting lists up to six weeks long. Still, the state's chief water resources engineer says the problem could have been worse. James Gallagher says that - had it not been for last spring's snowfall - new wells would have been needed early in the summer. Thirty-five percent of New Hampshire homes have private wells.

Provident says the mill's parent company, is in default on a 1999 lease agreement requiring it to pay nearly 670-thousand dollars for the equipment.
