The sum Of these estimates is equal
| to about ~ mills on the grand list.
The Committee recommend that the
warning for the next annual City Meet
| ing include the last named estimates
and a call for action thereon.
At a City Meeting held March 26.
1909. the Court OF Common Council was
authorized to appropriate from the City
$40 900 as may be necessary to pay the
| expenses for 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 not pro-
vide the method of raising the sums
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 proposition au-
thorizing the borrowing of such funds
upon the notes OF the City payable in
four equal annual insrallments and
that the same be liquidated from the
receipts of the water department.
Under an act of the General Assem-
bly, approved June 10, 1907, the County
Commissioners, the Mayor of the City
and the Selectmen Of the Town of Nor
witch were constituted a Board for the
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
: Pursuant to law. such Board has ex-
ecuted its note for the sum of $50, 900
expended in the erection Of such addi-
ton and it is desirable that the joint
obligation so created should be re-
placed by separate obligations for the
proportion of the expense which each
ton thereof has been determined as
provided in the Act to be the sum of
400
Your COMMITTEES therefore recon-
mend that there shall be included in
the warning of the next annual CITY
Meeting a proposition to authorize the
Of the City for $4,000 for its propor-
ton of the expense of Court House ad-
dition upon the retirement Of the joint
obligation now outstanding.
Your Committee further recommend
that there be included in the warning
OF the next annual City Meeting a
proposition 20 authorize the sale Of
the fire stsZton property situate on
West Main street and of the fire sta
ton property situate on Boswell ave-
nue., the same being no longer required
for the purposes Of the fire department.
and that the moneys realized therefrom
be appropriated for the fitting up Of
the Thamesville hre station, to provide
for the installation of a steam IRE en-
CINE and chemical engine for the pro-
lection of that section of the City in
accordance with the recommendations
of the Committee on Fire Department.
Your Committee further recommend
the adoption by the Court of Common
Council OF the following resolution:
Resolved. That the report and esti-
mates of the Committee on Finance be

cause the same to be published as re-
Quired by the amended charter. and
