Paddock, he ex- plaining that there was d misunder- ing about the item. Mir. Paige also asked MT. Osborne to withdraw, his objection. But Mir. Paddock rushed hastily from the room exclaiming as he did: 1T have nothing further to say. I have made my Statement.
 Paddock Returns.
 At this point Chairman J. J. Pher Ian was obliged 10 leave and so called MT. Osborne to he chair. MT. Cooper going outside into the corridor met the senatc~ and persuaded him to again appear before the Eoard which he did and made q statement that let in a good deal of light on the. matter. He said that the money was wanted for use at the city yard, very valuable property. There was now an absolute necessity for having some Improvements there. His committee was considering a proposition 10 eN-i change some land with the brass company and secure from them dock. The money was needed to build a shed there and other needed thlnSs.
 Mr. Cooper said he had received new light and learned that this money was not desired for q dock.
 lie wanted the Item IGcOHSluG4So and left in the list This was done and after the tax rate had been fig ured up 1t was transferred to first dis trict list.
 Rate is 11.2 Mills.
 When the list was completed and the total had been received it was ffgured out that tax rate of 10 mills for the first district would raise sufficient revenue for that district and 72 would do for the second district. Resolutions making this the rate for the two districts or 11,2 for the city were then passed unanimously on a roll call
 MT. Cooper then introduced reso- lution seconded by c. w.

 MT. Cooper said that a big sewer was greatly needed in the east end and the latterals could come later. sanitary sewer should be built on Dewey street, Capitol and Wood ave- nues to care for that section of the city. This work must be done and the
 
 MT. Vincent said he had attended the hearing on this plan and followed the discussion step by step. It was proposed to have two of these sewers empty into the Pequonnock river and Cedar creek.
 Later on these would empty into central stations for the pumping. At present the city had no comprehensive plan for building it's sewers If this were done they would soon have a machine all ready for the power. Two systems were to be used, one for carrying the surface drainage into natural water courses and the other taking the house sewage by smaller pipes.
 To Meet Frequently.
 MT. Paige said that there was soon likely to be a strong objection raised to emptying sewage into the sound system would be of use. MT. Cooper replied to him that this had been con- sidered but had been thought to be too remote.
 MT. Jackman said that in case this contingency should arise the system would be all right as it could be used to dispose of the sewage by filter beds or the like. The money expended on this system would not be thrown away.
