 We therefore fel, af the beginning l that the more important question was l the fire problem W went Co see Mr- l Charnoek af the New England lnsA. rance Exchange to ask him f any oe all of the plans met his approval. "We first suggested the plan cal i ling for reservoir on Richmond Hull l He did not think that single re ! servoir located in that position was ! the proper thing for this town IT C i thought that Putnam ought Co proEiae 5000 GOO gallon supply bat If the eity didn't want to go to this expense he would be satisfied with a minimum o1 l 2 .000. 900 gallons.
 His objection Co the Richmond l Hill plan was the hazard at the Lltlie l River bridge where the lare main E conducted under the bridge. A hood damaging the bridge would break the main and the city would be without water. Thiz plan was passed over ana l if was thought that two tanks would be better than one.
 City'a Prospective 0roNAh
 Then we took up the Palmer plan with n reservoir on Oak Hill and ano fher on Rates Hill. The matter ef the prospective growth of the city then came up as factor. We were asked if we could forsee whether the growth of the city would be in the l Sabiu street section or elsewhere, be- cause the location of tanks is chosen with this in mind We told him we did not fee competent to judge. W q l knew there had been some growth m i the Sabin street section of the city land we had heard there were projects under consideration for development there. T. was found that fl there @es l to be building on top of the hill then l to provide pressure there would have to be tank instead of a reser- voir under ground as the plan calls 1 for
 "Then we went into the matter of supply man The first plan was oh- Iiected tu as Bot having a pipe down ] School stre as well as on Main street and that # did not provide sufficient feeder system for other parts i of town.
