 At City Meeting held March 26. 1909. the Court of Common Council was authorized to appropriate from the City Treasury such an amount not exceeding S20,000 as may be necessary to pay the expenses for erecting a new dam and of acquiring lands. rights and other property necessary for conservation of the water supply, but the resolution adopted at said meeting did not pro- necessary for such expenditure.
 Your Committee recommend that in- asmuch as said appropriation is made for a permanent improvement and ad- dition to the water supply. the expense thereof should not be included in the ordinary expenses of the current year. the warning for the next annual City Meeting shall include a proposition au- thorizing the borrowing of such funds upon the notes of the City payable Tn that. the same be liquidated from the receipts of the water department
