permanent water supply by a full de-
 velopment of the Stony brook water
 shed, and if such authority be granted
 by the city, to thereupon call special
 meeting of this court of common coun-
 cil to take from the table and duly
 consider the first resolution above set
 forth.
 Councilmen Gilbert and Worthing
 ton asked an explanation when a mo- tion to pass the last two resolutions
 was made, and Mayor Thayer stated that it was thought they couldn't vote the first resolution lawfully until they had rescinded the vote of 1902. That being done, the council could then ap- prove of the boards action. He ex plained that the Injunction is not re- moved, but it is not thought they will run counter to it if the city will vote a sum in excess of s300,000 for the project the amount stated by the en-
 gfneers being $304,000.
 Councilman Lang Gave Opinion. Councilman Lang said the water board voted unanimously in favor of the plan. He further said that he does not think it for the best interest of the city to adopt it, however. He still thinks the Jordan brook can be developed for less money. Since the city meeting he said it had been learn l ed that that project can be developed | for s125.00o. thus saving $60,ooO to l 3to,uUV, Dy lil0 uSIuS OI WOOu ledN 1 of iron pipe. He felt as though he ought to make the statement. and | while he doesn't think it the best plan | he will do all he can to get it through, as we want water. He thought he was ! in better position than many to ! judge, being member of the water l board, but it was for the people to de- eide.
 Mayor Thayer said that he still I thought the right thing for the city to | do is to go to Pease brook but rather l than to try to suit the views of a few against the many. although not out of 1 the woods on the water question, he would rather try to do something and l fail than to try to do nothing and suc- | ceed. He said he would favor it. how ever. for the sake of getting water, al- 1 though the city thus favors appropri- 1 ating about as much as to go to Pease 1 orc ok.
 l Council is Unanimous. 1 Councilman Lang asked for a rising vote on the resolutions, so that it could go on record. T le council unanimous
 ly favored the last two resolutions. l Councilman Lang said he was glad ! to have unanimous vote of the council, on the matter. and the mayor expressed the same view.
