Bridgeport Water Department Urges
 Cultivation of Water Department
 Properties by City.
 Acting on suggestions from the Bridgeport water department. the New Britain water commissioners arc considering what may prove to be an excellent garden plan. The Bridge port water department is developing a similar idea and suggests that all cities and towns cultivate all available properties in connection with their water works, either public or private.
 In order to guard against the possible contamination of water 1t is suggested that the city cultivate, plant and harvest al crops, keeping an accurate account of the cost. At the end of the season the plan would be for the city to sell all applicants the products at exactly cost price. which would be considerably below the mar ket price.
 Chairman w. B. Rossberg thinks the idea h worth Investigating and states that New Britain has more than 2.10O acres of land which could be well put to this use. Most of tho land is in Burlington. but since the work would be done by men engaged for this purpose, the distance would not make any great difference. 1t is said.
