 His facts s,6uld be ks1ewn to. all.
 l No one as criticized tlajs adminis I tratioa4 pnJe than I, said .Mt. Board- man. but have found tAsAt was la boring up{er q delusion. This is met absoIyinr them from political trickHry, because hat exists in all parties, and | I don't think there are any political I deals bx what any party would resort 1 to.
 At tie last city meeting yTou voted to go to, Trading cove brock when the water board favored going to Peck Holloy brook, and had you gone to Pack Hollow brook the present condi- tipns would not exist. The same au- thorties favorfng Stony brook told g1on tenlyears ago that Trading cove brook euslt to be filtered before it is used. TM last meeting wanted to put up FIad5nE cove brook because they want ed to g6t pipe line fin the direction of stony brock and thought a line ts Peek Hollow weasa be going towards Pkase brook.
 II think Trading cove water is all right ana would drink it in preference to treated water, Nut am not sure I would not be incsfrriHg disease by using the WafeF untfeateds Entering is a pfecauti0R which has to be taken, as valley unplacardsds and an epidemic spring up in a night.
 He said he had attended both meet iass recently held for the discussion ff water and he thought the people are more inclined to be reasonable. At the last meeting they were in a bitter frame of mind. The people, however, are so set on this question along pdxat1- cal lines that it is like talking to a wall for person to try to talk to ols on the opposing side. He agreed witff Mir Comstock in regard to Stony brook.
 At the meeting of the citizens com nittee he said he had not pledged him. self to any project but he thought the source of supply for the city is to the | north It will give the force required by the people who live ou the hills, and they are the poor people. The reservoir should have elevation and Jordan brook will give this while Stony brook will not. The quantity of water is in the direction of Jordan brook and does not lie to the west.
 The manufacturers do not want to lose any of their supply and thatiis the force opposing.
 If getting supply for today alone, would say go to Stony brook but Here someone interrupted with ap- plause. Mir. Boardnan, waving his hand said No, thank you. That, gen. tlemen, is Stony brook applause. It shows you what concerted action can do. An organization can drive a crowd.
 Continuing on his water stateSpent, he said: If Norwich grows. fast Qs slow, and I haven't lost all hopes, the direction to go is to the north. At Stony brook they say you could tap little brook and then go to Gard ner lake. but they don't want you to get that. If you have got to go to the north for watershed at all, it is better to go now.
 The greatest objection to Jordan brook is the litigation which you are told it will require.
 You have taken Meadow brook from the Falls company and pa i'd $5,o0e for it, and guarantee they felt well paid. Figuring at that rate. I think $17.0G0 well within the limit for the dama ges. I think $15.000 would be enough. If it was private corporation wanting the water they would settle it amicably. If they go into the courts it will cost the pN n a nias a a a if rIi11 net and they will desire to keep down the expense.
 Looking to the future for the supply and force. I believe in Jordan brook, which with the mill rights totals $307,- 600. Stony brook with the mill rights he thought would cost $30s.000. This sum Is larger than for Jordan brook, and if Stony brook is selected it may be necessary to go to the north after all. He closed amidst applause. Dr. Stark Praises Jordan Brook. Dr. c. E. Stark said we all agree on the need of water but we disagree on how or where we shall get it. The poli- ticians have buffeted us about until we are high and dry. The thought occur
 red that if another source with quail fcattons as good as any others was presented that the people could unite and get water. Civil Engineer Chandler when he saw Jordan brook said he was surprised, saying it would meet the needs of Norwich. Three other hy- draulic engineers have seen the brook and they say it was the best site ever offered Norwich. After preparing his
 statement about Jordan brook Dr. Stark took it to MT. Chandler for re- view and after looking it over Mir. Chandler says Your opinion is all right. I advise you to publish it.'' Jordan brook is clean of all politics. no politician eSpouSas it. I believe we do not need another reservoir. We have two dry ones now and do not need a three ring circus. If we run a line of pipe to this brook of pure water it will supply us with plenty of water at all times. It will furnish us three million gallons a day and there are the Gillette brook. Deep river and Exeter brook to be had in addition. so that Norwich could grow to over 100000 in
