Having promised to furnish yoa some &C.
count of the reservoir built here by Thomas
ton for its special benefit, proceed to do
80. After much talk, deliberation, and delay
a contract for the work was made last July
with Messrs. Leonard & Son of Norwak. On
the I'd of August house 20 by 80 was erected
which, with one or two o.her small buildings
accommodated-in a manner-seventy five to
eighty Italians who arrived that evening.
Owing to wet weather the whole force did not
get to work until the 9th. On the 7th advan-
tage was taken of low water in the Naugatuck
to lay the main or pipe through the bedof that
stream. August 18th it was laid from the in
side limit of the dam out to the road side, d
distance of one hundred feet or more On the
10Th the first foundation stone for the wall
was laid. From that time on to the 9TH of
December the work progressed with more or
less haste, according to the variation from time
to time in the number of workmen employed
and to the number of underground obstacles
met with in prosecuting the work. During
essarily more slew, owing to the severity of
the weather, and the consequent freezing of
the earth, which was thus rendered more
difficult of removal. The working. force was
so divided that while many were constantly
at work on the reservoir, others were engaged
in digging trenches and laying pipe to and
about the village of Thomaston. The reser-
voir dimentions are as follows: Height of wall
from lowest point about Is feet; thickness at
bottom feet; at top 10 inches earth work
(including wall) from inside to outside limit,
IS feet at base; Is feet at top depth of offset
to apron, feet; width of apron 40 feet !;
width of dam across the top, 7144 feet. The
site of this structure is one mile North of
Plymouth Center, on quite small stream, ex-
cepting when it is swollen by copious rain or
melting snow. When full its water willcover
large surface, (and cannot specify the num-
Der of acres), over great portion of which
it must be of shallow depth. More than
twenty seven thousand feet of pipe, varying
from 10 to in cbes in diameter, are said to
be in connection with the reservoir. which is
situated from 200 to 800 feet above the main
portion of Thomaston. OF course the water
pressure is immense, the average being, it ia
said, 1913 pounds to square inch. While
our sister town will be greatly benefited by
thus having fair supply Of water for various
purposes within her limits, it does not yet
appear whether this public work will prove
ito be for Plymouth Hill blessing or a
curse PLYMoUTHRAN:
