Stated the situation in which Mr.. Bar
ney had the floor, speaking against Mr..
Upr.eys motion offered as a substitute
10 his own, llersey's motion was to es-
mblisIl q duplicate system of pipes so as
10 use f. Barre, and Barney's motion

needed then. bl ',rney thought it
should be aoaS III ,ted. Called on n.
D. Phelps to speak.
Mr.. Ellis wanted to know how much
more water at f. Barre than at iIough-
tons Mills. Barney said twice. per-
haps three times as much. Chair call
ed for Mr.. Phelps but he was not pres
ent. Harvey Jersey then spoke al
some lengtn He thought it would br
business like to use what water we now
own, rather than to leave two thirds Of
it idle. Didn't believe Orange Brook
would fill Il 4-inch pipe. If there is as
much water there as they say and three
times as much as E. Barre, why not use
that. Proposed that dam could be rails
ca at old East Barre intake. This eX-
pert testimony not amount to much, you
get whatever you want if you can pay
for it.
In answer TO questions from Fred
Bruce Mayor Gordon said did not know
cast OF intake above L Barre. Good
hue claimed intake below cost $4,000.
Had moi got estimate on extending sys-
ten u-j above East Barre; had got eS
Inmates ON Orange Brook. Mr.. Bruce
then spoke at some length, jumping on
the council for NOT getting estimates for
an intake Just above +. Barre as well
rs On their own pet scheme. He was
ashamed Of the representative OF Ward
?. City engineer had sad 50 5000 pos
sibIy construct dam above E, Barre that
hold about 25,000,O00 gallons.
lu answcr to further questions n. ID.
Phelp, said that the poor pressure ut
the fire on Peanut Row wn- owing 10
the use of 1900 hundred feet of hose. Is
not 2uud pressure on Hooker hill with

turing purposes. Dr.. Nichols said we
must have more water TOR domestic ust
al once.
X. S. Currer asked Mackay how he
knew how much water was used fol
domestic and how much for manutac
turing purposes. MackaV said he wa
guessing. Currier asked IL Council mac
taken any steps to stop waste, ah'
Marhay said no. Currier said tnat ac
couling to Collins report we have waite
enough now if it is not wasted
Thought waste should be located ant
stopped by the use of meters. Stew
Forsyth didn't believe polishing mill
used 20 per- cent of the water. 1her
is big waste that should be stopped
Answering questions foom w.

SONS was safe for domestic use, Dl
Orange Brook better. Boyce then spoR
briefly in favor of an intake just aboN
