 $30,o00 for Temporary Supply. The following resolution was then moved by Mir. Shields: Voted, That the city of Norwich appropriate the sum of $30,000 to acquire and con- struct pumping station or other prop CT works to procure temporary sup ply of pure and wholesome water for said city, to be decided upon as to the place, the waters to be taken ami all other details by the board of wa ter commissioners of the city and ap- proved by the court of council as provided by the charter of said city of Norwich.
 Voted, That it is the sense of the meeting that the water for the tenn porary supply of the city of Norwich be taken from Tracing Cove brook and this meeting respectfully requests and urges the board of WateS commlSSlon- CTS and the court of common council of the city of Norwich to take said waters from the temporary supply of water that has been voted at this meet ing to be installed.
 MT. Shields stated that Chandler & Palmer had investigated Peck Hollow and Trading Cove brook ana are ready to make a statement if it is desired. $. E. Palmer explained that the cost VI iilSldt111AS5 llAC DO4AAGo NAtAA AAt tNNSS S@N Trading cove would be $10,O0O, pipe line 1S,000, total $28,000. At Peck Hollow the pump will be the same as to cost, while the pipe line will cost S40,000, and from either million gal Ions can be pumped in A hours. To Alderman Ely he said it was intended to purchase pumps at about 5000.
 Alderman Ely thought it would be good idea to put that money into fire engine and after it's use at Trading fn n department for permanent use. Mr. Shields thought the pumps could be hired from Scott of New London.
 Dr. P. H. Hartman thought the sug- gestions wise ones, but as it will all be left to the water commissioners, who, he believed, would do their best to save every dollar for the city, he thought it should be left to them as the l best thing to do.
 pr. Sassidy said he had every conf dence in the water board and the coun- cil. We need a supply of water and the best supply. He believed that Peck Hollow should be included and allow the water commissioners to use their judgment and moved that as an amendment.
 Mr. Shields opposed this because 1t showed big difference in the cost and four or five mills have claims on you if you take that water. On the Trading cove brook the one mill owner has agreed to give the city all the water and the only return asked is the equiv alent in water power at a market price. With the several mills all interested ipjunctions can be gotten out and but for such we would have an abundant supply today. (Laughter)
 Dr. Cassidy disltl1ed the reference to injunctiOns, but said he was proud of the action he had taken when one was secured. He never believed in Stony brook, as it is no place to go. Gardner lake is all right and that l would like. The water board has investigated. We want the purest water, and that is to be found at Peck Hollow. It is pure water against penny'S worth of coal If Trading cove is the proper place, the board will go there, but if it isn't they should have the privilege of going to Peck Hollow.
 MT. Shields said this resolution gives the water board the privilege of acting as they see best. but it recommends Trading cove brook, which is said to be the better
 Dr. Cassidy withdrew his amend ment and it was necessary to ballot on the resolution, but only six attempted this and it was quickly over. all being 1 favorable. The resolution was de- ciared passed and there being no fur ther business the meeting adjourned at 1920 o'clock.
 Water Board Action.
 The water board will have q meeting immediately and take up the matter of an immediate supply upon which the council must act. They had a short meeting on Thursday afternoon, when they heard the figures of MT. Pitcher, but no other action was taken.
