What the Preacher Said

In last weeks issue of the Wal.
nut Ridge Times Dispatch appear.
ed an article under the caption of
"W alnut Ridge" in which the ed.
itor said it mad been reported that
a certain preacher in Pocahontas
had been slandering Walnut Ridge
from the pulpit stating that the
town had "gone to the bad,n etc..
since the double killing over there
a short time ago. Now we are
sure that the editor has been mis-
Informed. We have never ..eard
any preacher, either in the pulpit
or out OF 1t, make any such state
ment, and we have asked quite a
number of persons, members of the
different churches regarding the
matter and none of them have heard
such statements. The report prob.
ably grew out of a remark of one
OF the pastors here on the follow.
ing day after the double killing.
IN preaching on "Sin Abroad in
the Land, referred TO the k;ll;ro
at Walnut Ridge, as an illustration
and said that sin was at the bot
tom OF the trouble. He did not re-
Ter to the town or any of its citi-
|ens In any manner whatever.

 Among the reports made of visits to institutions was that of a visit to the state prison by Dr. Thomas F. Kane and Mrs. Mitchell, and they found ev erything satisfactory.
 Mrs. Mitchell and MT. Holman re- ported a quarterly visit to the indus trial school for girls in Middletown and to the hospital for the insane. both of which they found to be in good condition though somewhat crowded. Mrs. Mitchell and Miss Walter report ed that they had paid a number of wis it's to the homes where county home children have been placed in New Lon don and New Haven counties. They had spent fourteen days since the last monthly meeting of the board visiting these homes. While some homes were better than others, no fault could be found with the manner in which the children from the county homes are treated. They are taken care of in all the families in which they are placed in a satisfactory manner.
 Dr. Down and Mrs. Mitchell a com mittee to look into the affairs Ut the Windham county jail, reported that they had found nothing to call fOr the holding of an investigation.

With four acts, offering varied forms of high class entertainment and with a pleasing set of moving pictures that are unusually interesting, the biM pre- sented by the Auditorium management for the latter part of this week met with a favorable response Thursday afternoon and evening. Every one of the entertainers were applauded en- Enthusiastically for their efforts and en- cores were called for repeatedly.

 Alderman Ely asked if the mover of the indefinite postponement would not withdraw because it is time we took action in this matter.
 MT. Shields said it is unmistakeable that that motion will be passed. What will be said after that has been pass ed? They will say, You have simply postponed it.

 MT. Gallup felt that the meeting was decidedly against the proposition, and I am satisfied that indefinite postpone ment would postpone it for 100 years. He thought it would take until sunset to cast a vote by check list. He with drew the motion and made motion that the vote be viva voce. The with drawal was allowed, but the motion was ruled out of order.
 Voting by Check List.
 Dr. Hartman requested the ISaUlnS of the resolution. which was done and the mayor explained that a vote, Yes, favored the resolution. and No was against it. There was @ wild yell of No! but it was required by the mayor that the vote be taken by ballot and checklist, as only the electors can vote at city meeting.
 Mir Shields thought the assumption would be that all were voters, but the mayor considered this a violent as- sumption. The casting of ballots start ed at 1913 and there was job get ting near the ballot box for an hour Many furTot to vote after having their name checked. Precipitation was streaming down the faces of more than one getting through the. crush, and the method was very unpopular.

 In 1899, Chandler & Palmer submit ted to the water commissioners a re- port saying the pipe line from Gard ner lake would be 8 1-2 miles, There would be a mile of deep cutting and to take the water from the lake where wanted it would be in serious danger of pollution by the summer re- sorts. W. H. Richards of New Lon- don in the same year said Gardner lake was ample, but likely to be eX- pensfve and it would require the con- troI of the shore line as a sanitary measure
 Mr. Pitcher found from investiga- ton that with the Falls company gates closed the daily evaporation was one-cuarter of an inch. showing the income was not enough to overcome the evaporation.

there should be some resolution before the meeting.
 Resolution for $5oo,ooo.
 The mayor stated that he had a res olution prepared by the corporation counsel which was read. as follows:
 Resolved, Tha the court of common council of the city Of Norwich be, and it is hereby authorized to make tine ap- propriation of such sum, or several sums. of money, not to exceed in the aggregate $500,00O. as may be requisite to pay for acquiring and constructing a reservoir on Pease brook for a per- manent water supply for said city, in accordance with the vote passed Au- gust ,, 1910, by the board of water commissioners of the city of Norwich. and approved August s, 1910, by said court of common council.
 Nicholas Tarrant moved the resolu- ton and it was seconded, but Mir. Shields held the resolution to be in complete and thought the blank should be filled.
 Corporation Counsel Tanning said he drafted the resolution and moved its adoption with the figures $500,0 inserted therein.
 E. A. Tracy thought the great anx- iety of the citizens is to get facts about all the propositions and thought the best thing was to have the facts pre- scented now.
 MT. Shields said he brought up his point to invite the freest discussion, saying he wished it, but some motion must be before the house.
 The mayor said the point was we'll taken and there should be a question before the house. and now there is one.
 G. E. Pitchers Statement.
 George E. Pitcher said on taking the platform that up to the middle of Sep tember he was in favor of Gardner lake but since then he had found fig ures which changed his mind. He did not favor Stony brook and investiga- ton on that was not needed, as that has already been reported on. Stony brook when first proposed it was said would cost $297,000 but when tried out in the superior court it was testified it would cost $356 600.
 On October q, MT. Pitcher said he began an investigation of the stream flow in all three projects, visiting all three the same day. Stony brook showed 1 Is inches flowing through a 12-inch weir, or 63,000 gallons in 24 hours.
 At Gardner lake, the amount flow ing away in the brook at the north end was 120,000 gallons in 24 hours.
 At Pease brook, the stream flow was 1,455,000 gallons in 24 hours. (Laugh-

Shortage of Water Now.

Henry H. Gallup spoke of the seri- ousness of the present situation, where on the hills there is little or no water. I don't think we want Gardner lake, to have q temporary supply. and we don't need nine biilion gallons. You cannot show me the need of so much water in 25 years. We ought to have much less debt instead of increasing 1t by a half million. Bonds issued at one time were not wanted and there would be trouble of disposing of them
