WATER QUESTION.
The mater of a nuisance on the
Peck Pond water supply has been
abated by the purchase OF MI. EWING >
pasture. A large PORTION of the pas.
ture might be sold, as | consider IL
unnecessary for the city to retain It,
On June 2nd the city council were
notified by attorneys for the mill own
ers on the Stevens branch to discoa-
tinue the use OF water from the Mar
tin Brook supply, This acti was
brought about by the supreme
courts decision on the Orange Brook
extension. The ecsion in regard to
furnishing water for polishing ma
chimes by the Barre water company,
by the supreme court soon followed
this one. Tine city council immediate
ly took steps towards coming to an
amicable settlement with the mill
owners, but were unable to do so.
The city cuncil through the CITY
attorney have endeavored to come TO
an agreement with the attorneys for
the mill owners ard the commission
ers and master 10 chancery to agree
on dates when the cases would be
heard and settled, but have not been
able to have the cases set for hearing
1t is OF the utmost importance TIA
thu Sc cases should be settled at once.
The movement which is being made
to obtain the Orange BROOK water
should be carried out as soon as pos,
Siole in the spring, and temporary
intake built from which to obtain
water during the dry season, it being
impossible to erect permanent dam
before the dry stason would be
upon Us.
A system Of meterage should be es.
tablisned for the larger takers and
others where WAGER waste occurs, on.
tional with the water department.,
l would recommend that tie charter
should be changed, placing the water
business in The hands of water com.
mjssioaers, elected for long terms, the
same as school and cemetery commits.
sionerS,
would recommend that the water
department accounts and the CITY
TIT asurer's accounts be kept In double
entry ledger form as it is the only
methoi OF bookkeeping which will
give true and accurate statement of
lhelr standing at any and all times.
LEGISLATION.
would recommend that the com
Ing city council cause to have hin
prep fred TO present to tine legislature

charter tights for the procuring nd
maintaining Of water works for sani
lary' domestic and other proper pur.
