WATER SITUATION
ABOUT THE STATE
Shortage Over Year Ago. at This
Time Exists in Many Cities.

Many of the cities of the state re-
port a smaller amount of water on
hand than at this time last year.
The Norwich reservoir became emp
ty last winter and has filed to with
in 1874 inches, which is about so inches
lower than in May of last year. With
the pumping station and Mohegan lake
aiding in the supply. it is believed the
situation is much better than last
year. as then the daily reservoir
it is but 100000. Clerk Raymond stat
ed to a New Haven inquirer that the
conditions are below normal. AS the
result of the City's experience last year
the commissioners are building huge
reservoir at Stony brook that will dou-
bic the present capacity in use early
next year. While conditions were
more favorable today than last year
at this time. said Raymond, they were
taking no chances and precautionary
steps would be taken as soon as a
drought threatened.
Superintendent Richards of the New
London department reported the water
in Lake Konomoc to be nine inches
below the spillway. This is nine inch
es lower than last year in May, when
water was running over the spillway
At Hartford a total capacity is con-
siderably below normal. The water
commissioners state that the supply
is gradually going down and IL rain
does not come soon they will have to
take steps to curtail the use of the
water by factories and public build
ings
Meriden reported one-half of the
total quantity in the reservoirs. The
town is in better shape to withstand
a dry spell than a year ago. but the
public IS advised to conserve.
Waterbury reported a fair supply
for this time of year hoping with care
to escape serious drought. The Water
bury system is handicapped by the
absence of a single big reservoir. A
huge storage site in building to be
ready for use in two years.
In New Haven the situation is ia
xorable. Extensive improvements in
the last few years are beginning to
pay dividends in an unusually large

MORTGAGE FoREcLosED ON

Perkins, Who is Appointed Special
MISREPRESENTATION Lose All.

That stockholders of the Norwich
and Westerly electric railroad will lose
$4,000 and bondholders of the com
pany will probably lose many thou
sands, developed at hearing in fore
closure proceedings before Judge Noyes
in the United States circuit court at
New Haven Saturday
The par value of the bonds is $780,
900, but with accrued unpaid interest
the bondholders have a claim against

After the hearing Saturday noon

urer of the road, as special master to
dispose of it. The decree of foreclos-
ure sale the court did not then sign,
as the court wished an understanding
between the receiver and committee

who is United States Senator Bran
degee-
Senator Brandegee was not in court.
but he was represented by Attorney
Whittlesey of New London as counsel
The committee of bondhoiders was rep
resented by Attorney r., H Johnson
of Boston.

Use with the creditors who had pre-
viously opposed the foreclosure pro :
Gee t4i-o DN -ztlit folttiiitiueTs-
AI5ong these creditors were the West

Baldwin LOCOMOTIVES works. This COM
promise left no inter leHing creditors
and there was no objection shove n in
court to the foreclosure proceedings,
only those the court interrosed to
make the r5cord clear and prerared for
future contingencies in the running OF
the road.
Judge Noyes said that he had re-
ceived information from Senator Bran
degee that there were $500 in his
possession after paying all bills. with
the exception of one disputed bill OF
$2,700 sent IN by the Pawca tuck Rail-
way company for use of cars The re-
ceiver had already been allowed for
himself and counsel fees $500. The
matter the court wanted cleared uT
before he would sign the decree OF
foreclosure was as rela ting to this dis

age claims that rnirl,t arise as to
whether the hoHdholders should be
held responsible for them or not.

that the desots of the Company above
