Declares Today.

That the elaborate scheme for ex-
tension OF the water service may be
halted and possibly rejected was in
dlcated today when Mayor Paonessa
announced that he would ask the
common council tonight to authorize
appointment of a committee OF citi-
zens to consider with the water
board the adyisability of proceeding
- with the plan now in contemplation.
The mayors announcement fol-
lowed many weeks of personal inves-
legation into the plans Of the water
board, the proposed methods of op-
Grafton. and visits to other commun-
tiles where filtration systems have
been installed and are being used
he has been in consultation with en-
glnecrs on waterworks and is con-
WINGED he said today, that a better
system OF puritication can be in
stalled at a saving that will run into
hundreds OF thousands Of dollars.
No Objection to Bond issue
No objection will be made by the
mayor to action on the issuance of
water bonds in the amount of ST.

necring and water service extensions,
not necessarily members of the COM
mon council. 4 similar committee

dence, r. l., and has been inspect
Cd by the mayor. Its capacity Is
several times as great as will be re-
quircd for New Britain. its operation
