1900 FEET OF PIPE TO BE LAID
Believed It Will Be Finished Tonight-Fairview Con-
 tinues to Gain But Pumping Will Be Continued

On Monday there was a fair sized gang of men at work on the pipe line to Trading Cove brook, although not as large as ordinarily, because of Christmas. There was much progress made however, on the work, and it is believed by Superintendent Corkery that the job of laying the pipe will be completed tonight if the conditions are favorable. The carpenters have about got the roof on the pumping station, which job is well along towards com pIetion
 The work on the dam has not been started, as that will be in the nature of a temporary structure which can be quickly built It is not desired to have the water turned back or stopped until the city is ready to use it. The recent rain has had an appreciable effect upon the stream and a large volume of water is flowing down there daily. The dam will be one of the last things to be undertaken and will then be only sufficient to divert the required amount of water into the well of the pumping station.
 The work on the electric wiring is being carried on, so that there will be no delay from that part of the work, it is understood.
 At Fairview reservoir there con- tinues to be a gain, the water having risen six inches on Monday, making a total rise from the rain up to that time of 36 inches. The water is now 320 inches below high water mark. There is a 24-inch stream flowing into the reservoir from Meadow brook. The cold weather shut off much of the wa

SALVATION ARMY
 DISTRIBUTED XMAS DINNERS
Ninety-six Baskets Sent Out by Cap tain DougIass-Tree Friday Night.

Through the generosity of their friends, who aided them in their eff forts to bring Christmas cheer to many who were less fortunate than some others, the Salvation Army was able to distribute on Saturday just 96 bas- kets, some going out as late as ten o'clock at night In each basket were six pounds of flour. two pounds of sugar, one can of corn, one quarter pound of tea, one quarter pound of coffee; celery and a chicken that weighed from to to 1-2 pounds, according to the size of the family There were also two or three Ioaves of bread. The baskets cost about S125.
 Chicken was provided because it was believed that this would cost no more than beef or pork would come to.
 The Christmas tree will be in the Town hall at 7.30 o'clock on the eve ming of December 30, and all are in- vited to come and see it. There will be about 300 presents on it. which will be distributed that night. Captain Douglass states, however, that they lack about S75 for the Christmas tree, and those who have not already con- tributed to this good cause are in- Vited to do so.

ter by freezing, so that there has been more water passing through the pipe to FairVieW than has been coming into Meadow brook basin, but the water is to the top of the 24inch pipe and there will be a large amount of Wa-er going into Fairview for number of days in addition to it's own gains. Eairview is still delivering inco che city mains and this has assisted in raising the pressure steadily and keep ing it up. Mohegan lake holds it's own despite the amount pumped frr,n there every day This pumping has not been stopped and will not be un- Ill t is seen how the pumping station at Trading Cove brook results
 The rumor has been in circdla tio1l here for 8 day or two to the effect that Hartford engineers have been at work surveying al the Pease brook basin for the purpose of finding out it's avail ability for the city of Hartf0r1. Ire rrnor could not be verified and seems to follow one which was to the effect that Hartford was looking after Gard- ner lake to help out their water SUD- ply. Superintendent Corkery stated that he had heard such a rumor as that about the lake but had no person. al knowledge as to it's foundation. He had not heard of any desire on the part of Hartford to get Pease brook basin. Norwich has done with the proposition for good, if the vote of the city meeting is to be considered, and the superintendent thought Hart ford could get it if they want it. though to him it seemed out of the way.
