srop work ON RESERVOIR.
Largely Because the Cold Weather
Makes 1t Impracticable.

Work on the new Orange brook reser-
voir which has been under construction
since the middle Of July, WIS suspended
last night until spring, owing TO the
cold weather The Italian laborers, who
have been there during the summer, left
last night for Boston. The only work
that IS going on at the reservoir now
is the construction Of plank fume
to carry of the waste water in the spring
and prevent it from doing damage TO
that part Of the dam already completed
City Engineer Reed stated to-day that
he thought the reservoir could be com.
pleted with four OF FIVE weeks work In
the spring II was expected when work
was begun that Il would be completed
this fall but the striking Of sand in the
excavation made the work much slower
and more difficult. and. during the last
few weeks, the contractors have been
unable to hire as many laborers as they
wanted
The total cost Of construction to date
amounts to about $4,000. and City Enai-
neer Reed stated to-day that the compile
tion of the reservoir would probably
bring the cost To $4,000 The expenses
Of the work have been met thus far ont
