 At special meeting of the board of w sition was made to tho board by L. c. White concerning the water privilege of lake Quasapaug. The matter of securing the privilege of this lake has been dis cussed because of the growing need of an increase in the city's water supply. The privilege formerly belonged to the South ford Paper company, which went into in- solvency some time ago. It is now owned by MT White and last evening he offered to sell it for $1O0,O0O. The expense of bringing the water to this city and the land damages incident thereto would in- crease the expense $15O,OO It was be- ieved that the privilege could be pur- chased for $5O,O and MT Whites offer rather staggered the board. It was also accompanied with the condition that the purchase be made immediately The board did not act upon the proposition.
