 Commissioner Joseph Mlynarski argued that the awarding of the contract to the Gest Co. did not seem fair to the lowest bidder inas- much as the city has in the past been accustomed to award the con- tract to the lowest bidder. Chairman Reginald Towers supported Mlynar- ski in this statement.
 City Engineer Williams read a pe- tition from the Shuttle Meadow club asking that the club be permitted to link its sewerage system with New Britain stystem. The petition stated that the club would install the sys- tenn at it's own expense and would pay rental fee of s25 a year for each lot that the system traversed. A clause stated that in case the city ever annexed that portion of Kens- ington property. the system would become property of the New Britain department. It was voted that a rec ommendation for the permission to link sewerage systems be forward ed to the common council.
 City Engineer Williams reported to the board that he had forward a letter to William c. Dunn, secretary of the city hall committee. asking that fireproof vault capable of holding the important documents of the public works commission be in stalled. Williams explained that an abandoned elevator shaft located in the rear of the building would pro- vide an excellent location for such vault and could be fitted to serve all floors of the city hall. The board voted approval of the request of the city engineer.
