WILL RENEW LEASE
But Bcroueh's Hydrant Service VIII
 Cost $2oo Less Per Year


 At largely attended meeting of the rreeInen of the borough held Tuesday evening it was voted to renew the lease for the borough's hydrant serv- ice for 8 term of ten years. The orig ina1 contract with the Jewett City water company for period of 20 years ends March 1, 1915. There have
 been negotiations on foot for several
 months looking toward possible pur- chase of the works, rights and fran chises of the company, but investiga- ton in the matter by the borough gov ernment sets forth the fact that the company refused to state a price. In the contract of 1895 the price was $1,5O0 a year up to a total of SO hyd- rants on the mains. The borough now is using 5S hydrants, a number of which are off the mains, which brings the present price up to $1,650. The new contract will be made at the flat rate of $25 per hydrant, which will aggregate for the hydrants now in use Sf.450, S200 per annuIn less than under this contract.
 The eompaAy's holdings at present,
 according to a statement made by Bur geSS F. E. Robinson, which was de-
 duced from the Water compauy's re- port to the public utilities commission, is in the neighborhood of S13s, 900 and 1 it is believed that about per cent has past four or i've years.
 Warden A. M. Brown said that an 1 offer of $12o.00o might or might not
 be accepted by the company. Burial oF Miss Davison The body of Miss Minerva Davison ] was brought from Middletown to Pa- | chaug cemetery for burial Wednes- day. Mas Dawson was a sister of
 the late Mrs. D. c. Keigwin.
