CTS finishing the reservoir so that it could be ready to receive and store up the fall and spring rains is the wait ing for the court decision on the Pal mer farm land. If this were received 1t would probably take from two to three weeks to clean up the Palmer land and remove the house and barn on it. There would be the trees to be cleared off and about six inches of the top soil to be removed in some places, as well as stumpS and rocks to be blasted out.
 It was a provision in the Petrossi contract that the city could stop the work at any stage they saw fit, and this has now been done. pending the expected court decision. For the work trossi company may be recalled or the city may do it independently.
 $314,ooo Spent so Far.
 When the final payment of about S26, 900 now due the Petrossi company has been made the city will have spent $314,000 of the $320.000 appropriated for the work. This Is counting in the $4,500 which is the value placed upon the Palmer farm by Judge Shumway of the superior court. That the work i can be done within the amount apprO- priated for 1t, the board is now con- fident, Only an unusually large yer dict against them in the Palmer farm case could upset this highly desirable and creditabIe censummation of tht Stony Brook reservoir work. The $16,- 000 now on hand is available for thu work yet to be done on clearing up th' Palmer farm and for the sl0,000 whicl Is the amount claimed for the John. son water rights.
