 The stage is all set for the spccia council meeting this evening whcr the matter Of new building on th,
 Riverside avenue site as proposed hy the water board. will be fnaIl, l decided on. What the climax wll he ts unknown but from present in dicattons the approval or disapprov al hinges on tho attitude o' onr councilman, whose opinion on th, matter Is undetermined. l. is pos sihlo that a deadlock may result which would leave the proposition entirely up 70 the mayor.
 The plans which were drawn uy by the city engineer at the reducs' of the water board call for q build ing I0Nll2 feet, 70 contain in the west end an office and directors room, in the center a tool room and meter room and on the extreme east end q garage with q capacity of ten cars two deep in each stall The water board feels that the erection ot such a building would ccntralizr all Of their branches, result in more efficiency and the total expense in. Volvcd would not exceed s25,n00, Al the present time, their office is To. 'cated on Main street, and their gar. age. tool room and meter room fin the rear of the city hall. There is no question as 10 their being cramp- led for room and the land which they now own in this location, they feel, could be disposed Of for a very good sum.
 The water company was taken over by the city on January 1. 1914 and since that time, the board ad. vises, their connections have incrcas. cd approximately 70 per cent. On December 1, 1925. their entire hold. inEs invontoricd at SI.0S5.955.5S. which represents the actual amount invested and is not based on the present day value. They have five reservoirs, having a total capacity Of S5%5,o0o,o00 gallons, one on Terry vile avenue, one in Plymouth and three in HarwinEton.
 II is understood that six weeks prior 10 the council meeting on March ., statement was sent to each Of thc councilIncn by the wa ter board. showing what they would like Tn tho way of an appropriation for the yrar 1926 and no question WaS raised until day or so before 'hc dat" of tho regular meeting. At that tim" tho proposed expenditure for hnldlnE purposes Was gone over anl several days ago the members of th" city council went over the present facilities with the mayor Hnd the water commissioners.
 Pro"ou indications are that three coUnciIm'n ar" in favor or postpon- ing any building program at this iimr aS they feel that the city's bur drn is heavy enough now. The key note of the mayors message vas ""ono'ny and it is felt by those fa. miljar "i'h tho situation that at least on" councilman will be in favor of proceeding with tho work with still another leaning that way. Que other member is claSScd as doubtful.
 The matter will, however, no douht b" dotinitcly settled fhis cyo. ming when thr city fathers gather in th" council chamber at FRO o'clock
