The Newtown bee., 1904-07-22

of boulder concrete running through the center, with earthern enbank- z ments either side. At the west end of the dam will be spillway of 35 feet in width. Just east of David Bacon's barn it was necessary to erect stone high and 150 feet in length. The land for the lower or distributing reservoir was acquired of Henry Salmons and George Bacon. This is located on the site of an old pond, the main embank- ment of which still exists. This will flood two and one half acres of land and will have capacity of 2,Oo0, 900 gallons of water. To reach the site of the distributing reservoir from the storage reservoir, we got into the car riage again and drove to the foot of the hill, mile or more. Hitching the horse to fence post MT Judson asked the newspaper man if he was ready for l a climb. Starting from the power house we climbed up 8 steep hillside | for half mile where we came to the site of the old dam referred to. It distributing reservoir, evidently in l tended by nature for some such pur- pose. Even the athletic druggist was content to sit on the bank of the | brook with the editor for bit of l rest, while they discussed the interests l of the project which bids so much for Woodbury's good. The power house will be built by w. G. Ward, genial Woodbury contractor. who is always for the mason work for the power house is in the hands of that reliable Woodbury mason, ". w. Welton. Two dynamos for the power house have been ordered from the Warren Manufacturing Co. of Ohio. The con tract for the poles and wiring has been let to Nut Mutt,ng .o !so, & Goodwin tSa a,o1 Of tributing reservoir to the power house will be 1922 feet, through 14inch pipe. The proposition as whole is one that appeals warmly to careful tn- vestors in Woodbury, and judging by the values placed on water stocks in other towns, the writer will be sur prised if the stock is not quickly snapped up by local investors. There would be no trouble to sell 1t outside to help the town 1t is also one which appeals to every good citizen who be- llieves in progress. With 8 good water supply, 2 fine school system, and cleo trfc lights, all that Woodbury needs is 8 trolley. And it can be built by Woodbury money on 8 paying basis, If 8 few men who have money will put their shoulder to the wheel and make it go. Don't talk about "Working for Woodbury," but Work!
