BERLIN DECIDED
TO INVESTIGATE
WATER SITUATION
Spirited Town Meeting Held at Which
Montpelier's Water Supply Was
Talked Over Thoroughly.

At special town meeting Saturday
afternoon, Berlin voted to investigate
the rights of Montpelier about Berlir
pond, the source of that city's water
supply, and other property in that
town A committee of investigation
was named as follows: George X. Per
rim. S. c. Pike and H. O. Dwinell.
There were about IS voters in at
tendance, and Dan A. Perry was mod.
orator Merrill Corliss, selectman, ex.
planned to the voters that there are
some rights that Montpelier has, as
well as some that Berlin has and that
individuals and visitors also have some
rights. He said that II families had
been forced out by the sales of pop
erty in the section about the pond.
When called upon, George Perrin,
one of the towns oldest residents,
made speech which brought out APP
plause He sam the state board of
health and some of the aldermen went
around the pond last year and that the
state board made recommendations to
the city as to what il must do, one rec
ommendation being tight board fence
around the reservoir and another that
the city extend its main into the center
OF the big pond, which would allow
people to fish in the little pond. He also
made other statements about the va
ter which caused some comment. He
said that the only place where the
water is pure is at the center of the
big pond, and his statements concern
ing ee' ms in the little pond, setting
bash and intake to the mains were
surprising and I substab;iated, rstn-
er serious perhaps.
Mr.. Perrin declared that every time
il rains mud runs out of every faucet
in Montpelier and that the wash of
the road goes into the streams. He said
that the water could not be used in
passenger coaches because it is not GER
titled water.
ii am socialist to a certain ok-
tent" said Mr.. Perrin; and then he
went on to say that he was looking to
the welfare of the poor people of Mont
pelier He said they had to drink Ber-
lin water, while the rich people in
are supplied with spring
water; that the poor people Of that
nity had paid for the water system
and that the rich had better water to
drink. He thought some resolution in
The interest Of the poor people ought 10
be adopted He said he did not want 10
hurt the city of Montpelier but that he
lid want to help the poor people.
Rev Frank Bloomfield said they were
not called together to benefit Mont
Delier but TO look after Berlin's in
-erests and he offered motion which
the selectmen to go ahead
With their work of investigation, 10
he extent of proceeding against the
'ity of Montpelier if they saw fit
William Brown then moved that
hree men be elected from the floor
II the house to act with the selectmen
md that instead of proceeding, after
