The sum of these estimates IS equal
 to about 1 A mills on the grand list.
 The Committee recommend that the
 warning for the next annual City Meet
 ing include the last named estimates
 and call for action thereon.
 At a City Meeting held March 26
 1909. the Court of Common Council was
 authorized to appropriate from the City Treasury such an amount not exceeding $20,000 as may be necessary to pay the expenses Tor erecting new dam and appurtenances at Meadow Brook and of acquiring lands, rights and other property necessary for conservation of the water supply. but the resolution
 adopted at said meeting did hot pro-
 vide the method of raising the sums necessary for such expenditure
 Your Committee recommend that in
 asmuch as said appropriation is made for permanent improvement and ad-
 dition to the water supply, the expense thereof should. not be included in the ordinary expenses of the current year. and your Committee recommend that the warning for the next annual City
 Meeting shall include a proposition au- thorizinS the borrowing of such funds upon the notes of the City payable in -four equal annual installments and that the same be liquidated from the receipts of the water department
 Under an act of the General Assem- ply approved June 13, 1907, the County Commissioners, the Mayor of the City wich were constituted a Board for tlte erection of the addition to the Court House in Norwich and were authorized to borrow such sum as might be neces- sary for the erection of such addition and to execute notes for the sum so borrowed which notes shall be binding and obligatory upon the County of New London the Town of Norwich and the | City of Norwich.
 Pursuant to law. such Board has ex- | ecuted it's note for the sum of S50.O00 I expended in the erection of such addi- | ton and it is desirable that the joint l obIiga tion so created should be re- l placed by separate obligations for the proportion of the expense which each ] tion thereof has been determined as | provided in the Act to be the sum of | $l0,0G0
 l Your Committee therefore recom- mend that there shall be included in 1 the warning of the next annual City | Meeting proposition to authorize the l of the City for $10,O00 for it's propOr- ] tion of the expense of Court House ad- | ditton upon the retirement of the joint | obligation now outstanding.
 l Your Committee further recommend | that there be included in the warning i of the next annual City Meeting a 1 proposition to authorize the sale of l the fire station property situate on l West Main street and of the fire sta | tion property situate on Boswell ave- nue, the same being no longer required | for the purposes of the fire department i and that the moneys realized therefrom | be appropriated for the fitting up of | the Thamesville fire station. to provide l for the installation of a steam fire en ! zine and chemical engine for the pro | lection of that section of the City in 1 accordance with the recommendations l of the Committee on Fire Department i Your Committee further recommend | the adoption by the Court of Common | Council of the following resolution: | Resolved. That the report and esti- i mates of the Committee on Finance he 1 accepted and approved: that the Clerk | cause the same to he published as re- | quired by the amended charter. and | that the Mayor. or in his absence the | Senior Alderman present, be directed | on behalf of the Court of Common l Council 10 submit the estimates em- l braced in this report to the next City l Meeting to he held on the first Monday of June next and to recommend that a
