ARGUMENT OVER WATER QUESTION RESUMED IN 1928
WHERE 1T STARTED IN JANUARY, 1sz6-CoUN-
GIL LAYS COMMUNICATION ON TABLE
Reports of Officers ReadTo Investigate Garbage Disposal
City Ordinances.

The first meeting of the new COM
mon council had hardly gotten under
way. Tuesday evening, when COM
munication from the citizens commit
tee recommending the construction Of
a three million gallon reservoir on
Richmond Hill, with pipes laid large
enough to give the needed fire protec-
ton throughout the city, was read and
an argument started between men,
bers Of the committee and the mayor
and two members Of the council, all
former members of the special water
committee of the council, which had
the appearance of possibly again
throwing the water problem into
state of confusion.
While both the spokesman for the
citizens committee and members of
the council emphasized that they did
not wish TO again stir up strife, IL
was evident that there was an ander-
current of intense feeling on both sides
which, If allowed to develop, viii once

The citizens committee has come
forward with a plan similar 10 the So

ers. but calling for 5000 900 gallon
concrete reservoir on Richmond Hill
instead Of the original 100000 gal
Ion reservoir. The communication as
read was as follows.
Citizens Conclusions
To the Honorable Mayor and
Members Of the Common
Council Of the City of Put
nam
The Citizens Committee have
carefully considered the several
plans submitted by the three firms
of engineers for improving the
water system of the City of Put
nam, and our conclusions are as
follows:
That cement reservoir large
enough to hold three million gal
Ions of water be constructed on
Richmond Hin, with pipes laid
large enough 10 give the needed
fire protection throughout the
city. We believe a reservoir of
this capacity can be constructed
as cheap as 100000 gallon
reservoir on Richmond Hill with
tank of 100000 gallons capac~
fty on Bates Hill. with a total
storage capacity of only two mil
lion gallons, for the following
