It was likewise rep~rted that | rumor credits some of the mu ulae- turers with opposing the plan to build the tunnei at this tiine, not only because of the great expense and be- ative, but also on account of the la- bor market. Some have aafd that to now would take la- bor which might otherwis: u3 avai' able for the factories. Th.so opin- fons, it was explained, 2 by means unanimous among the officials and their definite view be solicited. Chairnmen Curtis of the committee hassvisited all of the wate, sheds connected with the city’s water sup- ply and is familiar with conditions rossibilities and probabilities nected therewith. Other bers are also familiar, but pressed a desiry to see for tinem- selves before venturing a final opin- ion. With figur at his disposal, as well as fair esti:nates, Chairman Cur- tis says that it is not beyond the realm of probability that by installing pumps on one of the watershed brooks that is now practically wasted the city could save an enormous amount of water every day. He also | has figures to show that the water supply, properly handled, might list nirfe months even if there was = seri- drought. The city has water hut lacks a proper place to store it. Mr. Curtis has a report from ove expert, he declares, that shows tha* an enor- mous quantity of water cau he saved at the Whigville reservoir every day. At present there a co leak in the dam there, permitting thousands day. By adopting the plan put forth by this expert it is said that this wa- | er could be saved for the cily and at A very small cost. No Danger of Losing According to the plans worked out | very carefully and thoroughly by the water department and city engineers, the proposed Burlington tunnel would take water from Burlington to Whig- ville brook and thence into the Whig- ville reservoir. In the opinion of Chairman Curtis however, this tun- nel would be at maximum efictuncy only in the spring and autumn mon‘hs when the country experiences heavy rains. The arugment was also put in favor of developing these water rights immediately, that unless the rights may be taken away by legislative acts, especially since the city of Hart- ford is eagerly looking for more wa- ter rights of its own. Councilman Wall did not think this argument a very good one and doubted if the its rights simply be- cause they did not develop them at this time for economic reasons. Al- derman Curtis also thought the city would be taking no chance on losing its rights by failure to develop them at this time, declaring that the enor- mous amount of money already ex- tended in its development is a proof of good faith, and to a question he said already a considerable amount | has been expended in this place. He thought $100,000 might be near the figure already spent. The estimated cost of the tunnel would be about $325,000 and this figure does not in- | property damages which from diverting the brook. Further data concerning the water department and its various sources of supply is being tabulated by City Enginer W. H. Hall and will be glven the committee at its next meeting. Councilman Landers said he did not think the council would insist on an ! immediate report on June 5, viously planned, but would more time in view of such an emer- | gency and such an important matter as this.

There were 15 Scouts present and two visitors. After the business meeting and drill, the troop took a short hike and visited the Girl Scouts. Troop 5 must have a pull. Charles Vibberts, a former Scout, was recently appointed Assistant Scoutmaster of Troop 8. Troop 9 1is now temporarily in charge of Scoutmaster William Hickie. Its meetings have been changed from Friday nights to Tuesday nights, and it is expected that with Mr. Hickie's leadership Troop 9 will go “over the top.” Troop 11 is another unlucky troop, the Scoutmaster having recently en- listed in the Merchant Marine serv- ice. This makes the fourth troop in- side of a month to lose its leader. Emil H. R. Vogel will be the new with Fred Eppler as assistant. Scoutmaster surprised the Bigge, of Troop 13, members of his troop with a ‘feed” at the meeting held last Tuesday and it was thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Troop 15 is busy building cart.

Scout Elmer Nvberg was elected Patrol Leader of the Second Patrol, with Paul Moreau as assistant. Scout George J. Ohman was elected Scout Seribe.
