Improvements in Water Supply Prom iCnH


 Business Mems association rooms last Friday afternoon, called by the bor- oHgh officials, to discuss the possi- bilities of improving the present bor- ough water supply there was a fair attendance. Warden James Sheppard presided. There were many com plaints in regard to the poor service given, especially by the house owners on the higher grounds, who at times are without water and last winter when there was unusual trouble on the pipe line from Union to the storage reservoir at Stafford Street they were entirely without water for many days. This was also true at the borough school buildings, which made the san itary conditions very serious matter, besides the lack of protection in case of fire. At the present time over twenty houses are being built that will add to the demand on the water supply. The company was represent ed by MT. Freeman of Hartford and MT. Schwabe of Thompsenville. MT. Freeman made plea that the compa- ny was a small one and it was diff cult for it to borrow money in order to obtain funds for the improvements needed. AS the company has been haying fair income each year this statement and some others made by the aqueduct representative raised the ire of those present Lawyer M. D.. O'Connell then took the floor and said that further discussion wasHnnec- essary and as member of the school he did not wish to have the have the same trouble an other winter and told the officials that they knew what was lacking and it was up to them to improve the water system, and asked them if they in tended to take steps for the improve ments necessary, if not the public utilities company would be appealed to. The officials of the company stat ed that some action would be taken and they would make report as soon as they could. It may be necessary to install tank on the higher level to supply the buildings on the elevations. Something will have to be done or the insurance companies are liable to in crease their rates. The Warren Wool en- company have been notified that they will have to put up a $50,0 ,000 tank for fire protection if the water supply is not improved. The discussion was very spirited at times and there is no doubt but that the officials were given to understand that some action must be taken.
