 dam willrbe located. It is a deep ray vine with woodland on the sides, and five men have been2at work there for several days to get way through there. It is the hope of the board that the reservoir can be completed so that the water from there can be used in a year from now.
 Not Cover Land City Owns.
 The reservoir will not flood to with in 800 feet Of the dam at the Lefffng- well pond, about which the city owns of the reservoir. Between that dam and the proposed reservoir the high way, which is to be changed, will be built along a much better grade than of Montville will probably act upon this change soon.
 When Rights Were Secured.
 Leaving the Salem turnpike for a distance of BOO feet the pipe line will and then across the Mowry estate, controlled by Youngs Bailey, for 1.100 feet. These rights are not determined d as yet. Over the Fred Gallup farm for 100, feet the. line will be laid, which rights have been secured ,: as have those over the Segal land for 800 feet and the Andrew Gardner land for 500 feet. Across another tract of land owned by Orrin Leffingwell rights have been se- cured. as they have across the Charles Lef1ingweH, Charles A. Gager, Jr., Will liam Haack and Forrest Leffingwell land. The farm of lost Lando1t has been purchased, 1t being considered worth more as a whole than the rights. The city will not own the land, but has the right to lay the pipes and to gee to them in case of repairs.
 Land Bought.
 Land rights from J. A. Palmer, Lucy Giddings and Orrin Leffingwell remain to be secured, but there have been bought 20 acres from Johnson ner and three from Louis Suskowski. Mrs. KimbaH of Lowell has 40 acres which are wanted.
 The water rights have not been ad- justed. Conferences have been held, but no agreement reached. This wlii work.
 It was decided by the board that the use of hose for street, lawn and garden be prohibited until further mo- tice, the season for such use being April first. It was considered that voir it would be wise to stop such use of the water.
 It was also voted that Walter w. Lang should sign any contracts made by the city along the pipe line until May 31
 Fairview Is Gaining.
 The measurement of Fairview reser- voir on Friday showed that 1t was 192 inches below high water mark, gain of four inches since Thursday. There is full pipe coming in from Meadow brook where the water was 24 inches above the 24-inch pipe, which will in- sure an increase for some time.
 During the month of March there were used according to the Venturi meters, 43,S23,000 gallons, which made a daily average of 1,413,600 gallons, which is slightly less than i'll Febru- ary, when the consumption averaged 1,416,5e0 gallons daily.
