BUSINESS CONSIDERED.
Montpelier City Council Instructs Mayor
to Buy Land Around Berlin Pond.

What proved to be the most iinpor-
tant OF the year was the special meet
ing Of the Montpelier city council, held
last evening, when that body authorized
the MAYOR to eNpend and offer about
$4,000 for land around Berlin pond and
tributary streams The council took up
the matter of purchasing the Hayward
place at the hea / Of the pond, for which
Mr.. ilavward asks S3,700 and the mayor
WAS authorized to draw his warrant for
that amount from the accumulated funds
OF the water department This land
takes in large section Of the shore.
a. +. Coyell owns considerable land
which borders on the pond aud the price
asked Is $500 An acre is reserved for
school purposes for the town Of Berlin,
to revert to Montpelier whenever it
ceases to be used for school purposes.
The grass is reserved for ten years and
all trees over six inches are reserved
for SIX years.
The next to be discussed was the Pike
property, which adjoins the Turner land,
bought some time ago This tract con-
tains about 20 acres that the city would
like to own, but Mr.. Pike sets the price
at 500 an acre, which the mayor told
Mr.. pike was excessive. fIe thought this
might be lowered Az he had intimated
to Mr.. Pike that the state board of
health might be given control OF the
city's interest
The worst conditions ever found about
the pond are said to exist at the Bos-
worth farm, where the house and barn
are within ten rods of the brook, and
drainage is in the pond within a min
ute after ii reaches the brook. The piece
of land covers the neck between the
large and small ponds and would be nee
essary to acquire if the city ever in
tends to install pumping station or
do any other work ut this point The
city can have the land Ut the neck for
81 800 or the whole farm for S3 800, and
the council decided that the purchase Of
the farm would be the better investment,
for there is considerable lumber, for
which an offer OF $1,000 has already
Deen made The mayor was authorized
to oHy the farm and the Coyeli land
at the head of the pond
There was some discussion as to
whether the occupancy Of the city hall
in one room by grade Of the school
would seem 70 indicate the acceptance
Of the building and heating plant, and
az there seem to be some defects and
failures to follow specifications, an
agreement was signed 70 show definite
ly that the use OF one room did not con-
stitute acceptance of the work Accord
