WILLOW BROOK OPPOSITION . GETS INTO COUNCIL HANDS Purchase of Rhodes Pond Destruction of Dam and Other Improvements Are Among Recommenda- tions. Purchase of Ithodes pond at the southern extremity of Arch street, excavation of Willow Krook in that locality. rvazing of a dam at Arch reet and Shuttle Meadow avenuc and climination of the brook curve on Lyons street, are recommended by Alderman David L Councilman 1. William Huber as a means of controlling storm waters, oicrfiow of which has caused con- siderable damage in the Monroe Street distric "he council members #ented a lengthy report on tions in this locality and suggestion, the bourd of public works will devote two months to a study of the recommendatior report to the common council. he statement issued by Alderman air and Councilmen Huber reads: “Te undersigned *petitions Honor. the mayor and the eommon council of the City of New Britain, that steps be taken to remedy con- ditions of the Willow Iirook and the streets adjoining thereto. “The fast increase in the settle- ment of the extreme southwestern condi- section of the city in recent years| requires the necessary improvements to avoid increased costs that will arise should the following report be tabled for any length of time. The Willow brook consists of three separate streams: One from Shuttle Meadow golf course; one from Shuttle Meadow overflow; one trom the Barnesdale scction. These three sireams combine ®bout 100 feet west of Lincoln street. near Shuttle Meadow avenue, and form the Willow brook, running ensterly across Corbin avenue, Hard- ing, Vance, Monroe, Linwood and [ Monioe street into the so- called Rhodes pond letween these points, from Lin- coln street to Rhodes pond, about threc-quarters of a mile, there but little fall or pitch and any rain storm or excessive melting of snow will cause floods in that area rcgu- uarly in the spring and fall. “In order to avoid these common floods, T would suggest to purchase the property of Rhodes pond or a 1ight of way, climinate the dam, thus allowing the necessary fall in the elevation of the brook bed. Fur- thermore a considerable advantage would he gained by excavating the brook bed at least one foot, also the possible elimination of the curve strect 1o the pond, which would save the city the main- and probably the rebuilding Monroe street bridge. condition of Monroe street #nd Shuttle Meadow avenue is at poescut very poor and will not stand of future traffic unles put in class of permanent from Lyons of th he tie strain iy pavement. “Along some Monroe in cuses ] catch basin, which is not sufficient to carry off all the water. “The storm water sewer on Mon- roe street with crossroads lead to the brook and as soon as the water ri the storm water sewer is forced biac stre e crossings, only one At was the time of the last flood it also found that the bridge or duct on Shuttle Meadow avenue, about 100 feet west of Lincoln strect, was not built properly. The grade should be at least one foot higher, the ducts may consist of 2-60 inch diametet pipes instead of the present 2-42 inch diameter.
