The annual report of the park com- missioners was submitted and ap- proved and ordered printed in the ap- pendix of the journal and so much as referred to the estimates was referred to_the finance committee. The report spoke of the construction of several pavillons and a bathing house in the park. It is not intended to construct many buildings, but they will keep what there are in good con- dition. A portion of road No, 2 is completed,| and will soon be completed entirely, connecting with road No. 1. The work was done by contract and legal wire fence has been constructed on each side of the road as required by the Yerrington estate. The park superin. tendent feels capable of completing th remainder of the road. Many dead trees and mueh under- brush have been cut out during the year, while many trees and shrubs have been set out in the park and at the entrance. A boat has been com- pleted for use on the lake. It is re- gretted that the baseball fleld is not larger, but it_is hoped it will be by next season. Walks should be laid out to give the patrons quick and easy access to the point of interest. There should be swings erected at different points for the ohildren. It is almost necessary that work shotild be started this year on the ap- proach which must be opened and graded from Washington street into the park. This must be attended to by Jan. 12, 1912. The undertaking is a Very large one and work should be be- gun at once. 1t will be over the Mara, Bond and Bacon lands. It will be too expensive for one year and it would be desirable to spread it over three working seasons intervening between now and January, 1912, For all the re- quirements of the the sum of $5,000 should be fl]lZ‘ed by the eity to this department, ahd the commis- sfoners asked that this recommenda- tion be duly considered.

The Eaton Chase Co. asked for the construction of a crosswalk from Main to Market street 5o as to be a continu- atlon of the walk in front of the Rock- well bullding. It was referred to the public works committee. The Southern New England Tele- phone company asked for the privilege to excavate in Boswell avenue from Oak street to the corner of Roath and Baltic streets, for the purpose of lay- ing a three duct conduit for telephone wires, one_duct to be for the wires of the city, It was referred to the public works department and corperation counsel.

The petition of William, McClimon for the removal of a tres corner of Central avenue and Tenth street was referred to the tree warden with pow- 1t had many er. The public works committee reported favorably upon the pefition of Preston Brothers to erect a vertical electrie sign on their building, providing it is satisfactory to the fire marshal, while the same committee gave John Dodd leave to withdraw his petition for the right to connect his outhouse with the sewer.

The bills of Chandler & Palmer for surveys, maps.and services ‘amounting to $823.25 and of Thomas Lodd for $390.40 were also approved. The land purchased was from F. H. Bushnell, Sarah and Charles ' C. Browning and Harriet ‘A. Huntington. Fire Commissioners’ Report. The fire commissioners presented their report, which was accepted and ordered printed in the journal, and the matter of estimates referred to the finance committee. The report shows 17 meetings have been held during the year. Hoss Co. No. 3 wert out of ser- vice October 1, 1908, and a part pald company was installed in its place. A hose wagon was rebuilt and a chemical tank installed in it for the new com- pany, besides which two new supply wagons were bullt, new hose purchas- ed and tools and equipment secured. Calls to Baltic and Taftville have been responded to. The department is in first class shape. One of the greatest needs at present is better facilitles at Thames- ville. The comi oners are of the opinion that the unoccupied station at Thamesville should have modern apparatus, with a new ‘engine located there, and that Chemical Co. No. 2 be transferred there from West Main street, and the old station they vacate be sold, as well as the Boswell avenue house. The mone; from the sales could be used in altering the Thames- ville_station. The hazardous part of the West Side will be protected from the Main street station, while the com- panies at the s and T ile would also respond to West Side alarms, There should also be better apparatus for Greenevilis, with a com- bination chemical wagon In Engine Co. No. 2 statlon, and change it to a paid company for the better protection of the district. The commissioners recommend that station No. 6, at Thamesville, be re- modelled for a part pald company, an engine and modern a tus installed, and that the West Main street and Boswell avenuu stations be sold to meet the expense, and that a new en- gine be purchased for the Thameville station. Upon the petition of J. L. Riley and others for better protection at Thamesvilie, the fire commissioners referred the petitions to their report as given above. Thes same committes reported upon the petition of A. J. Wholey and others regarding the 1i- censing of master plumbers by stat- ing that it should go to the water department or a speclal committee, but a bill before the legislature 1f it passes ‘will cover the same ground. Regarding the Norwich Bullding Trades counell. the same commission- ers reported on the petition regarding the reconstruction of bulilding, and in #t stated that ordinances regarding buildings were adopted May 2, 1908. The council recelved an invitation from Sedgwick post, No. 1, G. A. R, to participate in the Memorfal day exer- cises, May 31, which was accepted, and upon motion of Alderman Stetson the sum of $200 was appropriated to the post Yor such exercises, Mayor Lippit reported an Invita- tion from Captain Hagberz of the ‘Third company, C. N. G., to the coun- il to attend their fleld day shoot, May 13, and especlally to dinner between 11.30 and 12.30. It was accepted. The following bills were approved: Water department, $4,332.98; electrio department, $10,347.78. The following were approved and ordered paid: “Park, $323,23; finance, $4,188.89; fire, $1,834. pul police, $1,964.17; street 827.24; cemetery, $503.59. The mayor explained that one bill— that from George E. Pitrher for $2,500 for professional services on the devel- opment of the water svetem—had not been approvved, and asked the council what it desired to-do. The services covered a period from December 3, 1901, to Junme 1, 1906. Upon motion of Alderman _Robinson it was ordered placed on file*causing a broad smile to fiitter through the council.

EXCELLENT REPH WATER COMMISSIONERS, Receipts Are Close to Last Year, Al- though Low Water and Closed In- dustries Cut Big Hole in Income— Much Work Do The 36th annual report of the water department, submitted to the common council Monday evening, for the year ending March 31, 1909, states that the general business depression prevailing during the year has seriously affected the incomde of the department. Very many empty tenements have been abated, and the use of water by many of the manufacturing establishments has been diminished. These combined conditions have made the recelpts less than the preceding ye: Total recelpts . Disburstments Interest on bonds. $67,917.29 2 28 10,600.00 $33, While the above shows a ifying net amount for the city; the earning capacity of the department would be better understood if credit were given for the hydrants maintained and in- stalled without cost to the fire depart- ment, We know of no municipal plant in which such credit is not giv- ¢n, and In no case is it less than $20 a year for each hydrant in use. There are 388 hydrants, and at $20 each would add $7,760 to the net earning: The condition of the reservoir has been such as to create great anxlel On June 1 there was a full pond, but it steadily fell until on February 5 it was 2071-2 inches below. The rain- fall from July to January amounted to 16.16 inches, while in 1907 it was 24.33 iInches, and the general average is 24.15. The entire fall for the year was 37.98 inches, or 8.61 less than the average. at the beginning of the yea: done. Dead ends in Thir: has beer nd Fourth inch main in Page street.

When confront- ed with the figures and informed he would have to pay for the water used, the conditions were at once remedied The department only objects to the useless use of water. Waste can and should be prevented, and this can be done by meters. There have been 133 meters set, and more should be In- stalled. Acting upon the bellef that there should be a new dam at Meadow brook, the Lgard voted February to build a new dam with concrete core which will require additional land, all of which can be done for $20,000.
