 Arthur l.. Woodruff reported in formally that all but s157 of last years taxes have been collected He also stated that the s157 is taxes for the people who are to benefit by the new lights.
 It was the sense of the meeting that although these people have not as yet benefited by the lights, they should be willing to pay their taxes and liens will be placed on the property of these delinquent taxpayers if their dis trict taxes are not paid by May 1, 1922.
 Water Question Discussed
 Although it was not in the call of the meeting the question of water was informally discussed. B. H. At water reported informally that the Berlin water committee had met with the officials of the Kensington dis trict and talked over the water situa- ton.
 The committee reported that it will be necessary at once for the Berlin district to decide whether this town will have water now or later, because of the size of the pipe to be laid from Towers corner in New Britain to Jacobs corner in kensington.
 At the meeting of the kensirlton fire district the engineers making the survey stated that an eight inch main through l<ensington would be possi- ble if only that town was to draw water from it, but if Berlin was to have water on the same main a 12- inch pipe would be needed.
 Meeting Next Week.
 It was decided to hold a meeting of the Worthington district early next week Nor the people to vote on the problem.
 Major r. l.. Wilcox instructed the water committee to take such steps as were necessary in order to make report at the meeting next week.
