MELVILLE RESERVOIR 4 BIC JOB
Dam will be 670 Feet Long and 37 Feet High at the High est Point-Getting Ready for the Core Wall-Third of a Mile of 12 Inch Supply Pipe

on each side of the core wall, with rip rap tapering from feet at the bot tor to 2 feet at the top of the dam. The dam will have a bottom about ll5 feet wide, sloping to a width of 16 feet at the top.
 Forty feet above the dam will be built an Sx13 screen house, with cop per screens on wooden frames, which will slide up and down in. grooves. There will be rubble wing walls at each side of the screen house, where arrangements will be made to shut off the water supply as well as at inc dam itself.
 The f2-inch supply pipe will run south down through the woods and will swing around to connect with the present water main on Merchants avenue below the Wequonnoc school. also be 16-inch waste pipe 150 feet for draining off the reservoir and for use while the dam is being built.
 At present. most of the force, about 80 men. which are at work are en- gagged in excavating in the basin of the reservoir, which will extend nearly up to the barn on Victor MarcAurele's place. Three derricks and hoisting engines are in use, also a steam drill. The Ponemah company's stone crush CT was given it's first trial Monday, but the shaft was sprung after three hours work. necessitating a delay of a day or so.
 Foreman Edward J. Sullivan is in charge on the job. and Engineer Her bert E. Wightman of Chandler & ,Palmer's office is in charge of this department of the work.
Norwich bulletin., 1909-12-01

The site of the Ponemah company's new reservoir at Taftville, about half a mile to the northwest of the village is a scene of activity these days, and will be, probably, for nearly year to come. The men of Contractor Torrance have been at work there for just about a month, and the progress made thus far has been satisfactory.
 It is a rough, rocky country where the new dam and reservoir are to be built, but the location is considered ex- cellent. as there are fine springs in the basin and watershed, assuring an abundance of good water. and also be- cause for some hundred feet the hills will form natural dam to help hold back the water.
 height of 15 feet, as is now planned, will be 67O feet long. Most of the work will come on the 100 feet at the northern end, where there is deep hollow. Here the dam will be g feet high if brought up to the same level as the rest, which will be built on the knolls that make up nearly all the o1O feet of the remainder of the dam.
 A gang is now excavating for the foundation of the concrete core wall of the dam, and the loose rock is being taken off the lodges. A new concrete mixer is on the way and it is hoped to have everything in readiness so that the work on the core can be start ed the first of next week. The core will be 35 feet high, coming to with In two feet of the top of the dam, and tapering from feet at the base to ? 1-2 feet at the top. An embank- ment Of bluestone gravel will be built

VERDICT FOR PLAINTIFF
 IN SUPERIOR COURT
Jury Awards Mrs. Allyn s1,135-First Brought in Two verdicts, One for Plaintiff and One for Defendant

The entire day Tuesday was spent on the case Of Mrs. Nj. E. Allyn vs. A. T. Miner, executor of the will of G. w. Comstock, a suit for $5.55S.20, for acting as nurse for the deceased and caring for his home for a number of years. The arguments were fin- ished by Attorneys Hankey. Hull and Geary being heard. after which Judge Reed charged the jury in the superior court.
 It was not until 40 o'clock that they returned with a verdict, which was given by Foreman John K. Fowl CT. This proved to be a double yer dict, awarding a large amount to the plaintiff, and small amount to cover the rent of the plaintiff in the property of the deceased after his death. There was a conference between the attor- neys and the judge regarding this and it was decided that the jury should be asked whether they had taken into consideration the rent of the tenement occupied by the Allyns. Judge Reed informed them that he would require them to return to the jury room and strike a balance from the two verdicts, as but one verdict can be rendered.
 They returned to the room and again reported at 40 o'clock with yer dict for the plaintiff of S1,135. which was about the same as the first yer dict for the plaintiff with the defend ants verdict deducted. They stated that the rent had been considered in reaching the verdict.
 Judge Reed then excused them un- til this morning at 1885 o'clock, when the case of HOwie vs. the New Eng land Navigation company, a suit for s25,000, will be tried. This concerns the injuries received by Robert Swan ton of this city, who was injured in New York while employed on one of the company's boats. A hawser injured his leg, from which he died.

COMMISSIONER MACDONALD
 UPHoLDS INSPECTOR DONOVAN
Visited Work at MontviiIe on Tuesday -No More Stone Will Be Laid This Winter.

On Wednesday, Highway Commits sioner J. H. Mcdonald was at Mont vile to look into the situation over the state highway there. where In- spector John Donovan held up the work owing to the poor quality of rock which was being used. Upon Investigating the commissioner upheld the inspector and ordered that no more such stone be put down and that none be laid this winter, but that the grad ing should be continued after the road where the stone has been laid is put in shape for travel.
 A new ledge on the Palmertown road was visited and it is believed that the rock from that will do. He also ap- proved the change in the grade at Hilltop asked for by the residents and modified by Engineer Campbell on Monday. From Cornet's corner to the Vallett line it will remain, but the sag in the hill will be filled in to the depth of 2 1-2 feet. and the road widened making big improvement. The grade in the road at the bridge over the Oxo- boxo river will also be raised. The work on the road has been held up for over a week. as Inspector Donovan found the quality of stone was not right for road building.
