COUNCIL SAYS WATER BOARD SHOULD
 REPORT HOW TO SUPPLY STATE HOSPITAL

to the board of water commissioners, asking on what terms and under what conditions the city of Norwich will un- dertake to supply the Norwich State HesRital it's normal supply of water of approximately 2ae,poe gallons per day, was laid before the court of oSmmon council at it's, November meeting in the council chamber Monday evening by the water commissioners, and after some discussion was referred hack to the va ter commissioners for further considera- tien
 By further consideration" is meant the working out of some feasible plan in detail by which the city could furnish the hospital with water. provided the wa ter commissioners should decide upon favorable recommendation to the coun- ell. The council would then have some thing upon which to act. It was felt on Monday evening that the council was not sufficiently informed upon the matter which would mean an outlay by the city of approximately s5e, ,98s fer a new pipe line over Laurel Hill avenue, to take an action.
 By the proposition submitted to the water eamnisg toners the Norwich State hospital would agree to take from the city of Norwich, tits fall requirements of normal consumption, increasing the same in case of future growth" This would necessitate the water department replacing the present six-inch main on Laurel Hill avenue with a 12-inch main from the present 12-ineh main near Lau- rel Hill bridge to the city line dis tance of 100 feet From that point to the hospital the 12-inch main would be installed by the state or as otherwise may be agreed. This would mean an approximate expenditure of s5e,1ee by the city and similar expenditure by the state hospital through the stats.
