dresses Lions.

At meeting of the board of wa
ter commissioners held last evening,
it was decided to advertise for bids
for the trenchinS aud laying OF wa
ter mains on Pennington avenue,
Jerome avenue and adjacent streets.
1t is the idea to start this work just
as soon as the weather permits.
The proposed extensions will be
the largest expansion program to be
carried out at any one time by the
water department in a number of
years The water main on Farming
ton avenue will be extended as far
as the river bridge at Brook street
and the one on jerome avenue to
point in the vicinity of the Edge
wood schoolhouse. 1t will also be ex-
tended over Maple avenue so that
practically all of the Edgewood dis
trict will be served.
The large tracts of land on Farm
ington avenue and jerome avenue,
which were used for farming pur-
poses until aboutSa year ago, have
been sub-divided into building lots
by local realtors and a number of
new houses have been erected during
the past six months. These sub-divi-
sions. according to the present plans
of the water department, will be
taken care of by the proposed eX-
tensions.
The report of superintendent G.
Earl Lourie showed that all of the
reservoirs were full and report of the
state chemists showed the condition
of the water to be good.
The average daily consumption Of
water during the month of January
was 2,425, 900 gallons, an increase of
1926 gallons a day over the month
of January, 1925, and $4,000 gallons
more than the daily consumption in
December 1926.
