St Twenty-seven Now Belong to Troop No. 1 of This City. Troop No. 1, City of Norwich, Boy Scouts of America, held m_rhe'nhr weekly mecting on Friday evening from 6.30 to 7.30 in the Sunday schooy room at the Second Congregational church, which was a session full of enthusiasm. One fiew patrol was ini- tazed, making the enrslimen now to include three full patrols and part of another. There are 27 boys now be- longing to the scouts. . Three of the patrols have chosen their calls, which are respectively the bob white, the owl, and the hound calls. In the instruction given the patrols by the scout master, Rev. H. J. Wyckoff, and the assistant scout master, Noah Lucas, they are now taking up the wigwag signals, following le Meyer ystem in use in the.army. First aid to the injured will follow this. Already the boys of the patrol have learned the compass points’ lesson and passed through the tenderfoot degree. GOOD TEMPLAR LODGE. Ancther to Bo Organized Here and Will Have Open Meeting Monday Night. For the purpose of organizing a lodge of the International Order of Good Templars there will be an open meeting at the Central Baptist church Monday evening for men and women under the auspices of the Connecticut grand lodge. There have already been 20 who have signified their intentions of join- ing such a lodge; which has for its object the promotion of temperance. Only ten are required to secure a charter, but that number is already doubled now and many more are ex- pected. The chief speaker will be Rev. Thomas D. Crothers of Hartford while Grand Chief John A. Akerlihd will also be heard and there will be a musical programme. Dr. Crothers Wwas one of the three who represented the United States at the international congress at Stickholm in 1907 on Al- coholism, having been appointed by President Roosevelt. CORLISS ENGINE GOVERNORS Discussed by Engineers at Their Weekly Mesting. Governors on Corliss engines made a topic for instructive discussion on Fri day evening at the regular weekl: meetinf of the Norwich Stationary En- gineers’ assoclation, No. G, in _their rooms in the Bill block. Tt was decid- ed that the association should have an- other one in their programme of lec- tures Dbefore long, and the. evening of Friday, Feb. 24, wa sselected as the date. A speaker will be secured and, Iike the other lectures, this one will be open to all interested in the subject, whether members of the association or not. . The association is following out a plan to-develop the work of the em- ployment committee and“increase the efficiency of the service, which it can render both to employers and employ- ed, by having every member, whether desiring to caange his job or not, file his preferences and guaiifications, that they can recommend a man to a place with more certainty than befors that he is the man fitted for it. This 18 expected to become a very import- ant part of the association’s work. LINCOLN SUNDAY OBSERVANCE Subject of Consideration by Grand Army—Also in Schools. The observance of Lincoln Sunday, Feb. 12, b; vices in all the church- es was made the subject of a commu- nication from ‘the state department patriotic instructor which was read on Friday evening at the regular meet- ing of Sedgwick post, No. 1, G. A. R. at the Buckingham Memorial. It wi also urged that the schools be in- duced, as far as possible, to have some specfal Lincoln exercises on Fri: day, Feb. 10. A further recommenda. tion for the fostering of the patriotic spirit was made that the display of flags might be large on Washington's birthday. These recommendations were referred to the post patriotic instructor, Prof. J. Herbert George, who will take the matters in hand. Commander Henry Hovey presided at ‘the meeting which was well at- tended. The post is planning for an fterngon service at the Buckingham Memorial 'on_some Sunday in March, when the choir and pastor of the Mohegan church will conduct the ser- vices.

If this is not an unusuaily high per cent of cures, then we must admit that we know but little about ths curative power of drugs. & But there are two good reasons for this great success. First, Smith's White Pine is positively one of the best cough remadies it's possible to malke, and the people know this to be a fact and it gives them confidence in this medicine. So when such confidence and merit combine to fight any disease yoy can bo- pretty sure that they will in almost every case, just as Smith’s White Pine wins when pitted against a bad cough. Price 250 for a 4 oz. bottle, SWIH'S B STORE o. of i tions Passed to Effect Not so large as previous city meetings, but sufficiently large so that there were several hurdred obliged to stand, the special meeting had in the nelghbor- hood of 300 present Friday evening for the purpofle of being heard on the water guestion. It was a_ sessionof four hours and a half, with plenty of fireworks at the end.” Jordan brook was voted down by a vote of nearly two to one. There was an attack upon the administration and its methods which aroused the crowd to a wild pitch and resolutions were passed which declared the sentiment of the people for the immediate use of the pumping statlon without the chemical treatmant of the water, and aldo de- clared the aentiment of the méeting to be in favor of Stdny brook as a permanent water supply. Adjourn- ment was taken at 12.25 o'clock. - - Right oné the stroke of eight Mayor Thayer dropped the gavel and cailed for the reading of th: warning, which was done by City Clerk S. D. Moore. Corporation Counsel J. T. Fanning presented a resolution drafted and pre- sented at the request of the board of water commissioners, saying it does not include the sum necessary to ‘se- cure the water rights, down _stream. The resolution which he presented and moved the adoption of was as follows: Resolution for Jordan Brook. Resolved, That the court of common council of the city of Norwich be, and it is heraby, authorized to make the appropriation of such sum, or the sev- eral sums, of money, not to exceed in the ageregate $290,000, as may be requisite to pay -for acquiring and constructing a reservoir on Jordan brook for a permanent water supply for sald city In accordance with the vote passed Dec. 19, 1910, by the board of water commissioners of the city of Norwich, and approved Dec. 20, 1910, by sald court of common council. ‘Engineer Palmer’s Statement. Civi Engineer S. B. Palmer stated that he had been reguested by the board of ', ~ter commissioners to pre- sent a statensnt of the situation and requested their indulgence for twenty minutes, informing them that many may have read the report but there are some who may not have, and on this reading some additional facts might be gleaned. The report was the one which was printed in The Bulletin last Monday reviewing the situation and comparing the several sources. The fact as read that Jordan brook site has plenty of opportunity for en- Jargement caused a ripple of laughter. When Stony brook was mentioned there was a stamping of feet throughout the hall, indicating approval. There was also applause at the conclusion of the report. Commissiooner Comstock Speaks. A few days ago there appeared a statement, or perzaps a question in our morning papér, what does the nnanimous opinion'of the water board amount to? so if the unanimous opinion is no good I don't suppose the opinion of any individual member will have any effect in this meeting. 1 suppose your homor that the ques- tion before the house is whether this meeting will authorize an appropria- tion of money to enable the water board to carry out the recommenda- tion for an increased water supply from Jordap brook; if I get too far away from that question you can call me to order. It is well known to your honor and I think to a great many others here that I have always been a Stony Brook man. I have been called a Stony Brook crank. While it must be wejl known that it is not in the power 6f the mayor to select the source of supply, vet it was not so very long ago {hat the cry was, we don't want Comstock for mayor as it means Stony brook water supply. Stony brook is no pet scheme of mine but from the reports of sev- eral expert engineers and my own ob- servation and study of the water ques- tion I have always thought that for what we were to get and what it was to cost this so-called Stony brook source was the place to go, and I think 5o still. Thinking thus, I have been severely criticised for approving some other recommendation. I think the city needs an additional permanent supply. 1 have advocated additional watersheds for the last ten years. 1 4id not believe in the expend- iture that was made at Fairview some time ago. I thought that money should be used for a permanent additional source of supply. .Under our present chaster to get an additional supply it hAs to start with the water board, be approved by, the common councti and finally by &4 city meeting. You may have as many city meetings as you wish, but if there is not some recommendation from the water board and council you will not get along| any. To get anything before a city meeting the water board has got to g0 to the council with a specific rec- ommendation; they cannot go with several projects, but must go with one specific plan. If that is not approved then they must start with some other specific recommendation. While I have my preference I am willing to ablde by_the majority Stony brook and Pease brook have been turned down for the sake of get- ting something hefore the _cltizens which is_where it must come for final action. I have been willing to make some recommendations, hoping the izens would unite upon some project that would give us such additional supply , " As T said before I think Stony brook is the place to go but above that I want the additional supply and if I} cannot have what I want I am willing to do the next thing and take what I can get, i e, if it is an additional supply. ¢ 7 1 do not think there is any question but what you can get a good supply of water from the Jordan brook source. It is right in the midst of water supplies and if the Jordan brook plan is adopted 1 shall work just as hard to develop that is quickly as possible so that we may have plenty of water at the earliest date obtain- able. 1 have been told I had no bus- iness to approve anything that I did not think was the very best thing to do. I am not an obstructionist and in this matter I am pot prepared to say if I cannot have what I want I will vote against every other project. 1 see by the Evening Record that it says they have excellent authority for the statement thAt if Jordan brook,| is turned down the water board would not bring up Stony brook. No one: has any authority to make such statement for the board. mot even a member of the board. If the Jordan brook plan is turned down, while 1 cannot guar- antee it for a fact. yet I am of the opinion that there will be some other unanimous recommendation of the Dboard, for as long as I am connected with it I shall strive fo get plans before. the citizens until you have adopted Sgme permanent Supply or | have turned down overything there i and say .you do not want anything. 1f - this is a wrong attitude to- take then I stand wrong, but am willing to- take the consequences.

Dr. Harriman for ns’ Committes. Dr. Harriman said thgt the commit~ teo has a report to make if it ls the desire of the meeting to hear it. There were cries of Yes! Yes! At the opening Dr. Harriman stated that he considered that the water board had acted with alucrity and speed with the emergency supply ahd unfortunately I think they have been held up on it. Personally I believe, sald Dr. Harriman, that the fear is much ~ exaggerated. (Applause) A chemical analysis was made of the water by the state chemist and il conclusion was that bacteria rendere it somewhat unsafe for use. No dis- easie germs were found, only sewerage contamination, which was known, but these sewers can be eliminated. (Ap- Pplause.)

Committee’s Report. The report' of the committée was read at this point as follows: To His Homor, Charles F. Thaver, Mayor of the City of Norwich, and Fellow Citizens: At a meeting of the citizens of Nor- wich held in the town hall Nav. 30th, 1910, a committee of five was appoint- ed and instructed to collect all neces- sary data on the various feasible sources of a permanent gravity supply of pure water for our city and to Te- port the result of thair investigations at a future city meeting. The said committee has personaily visited and inspected the various pos sible sources of supply recently con- sidered as feasible propositions for the consideration of the citizens. It was the intention ‘of the commit- tee to employ the engineering firm of Chandler & Palmer for the purpose of supplying the necessary data and esti- mates on several sources of supply, but learning that the board of water com- missioners had secured the services of the same firm for an identical purpose, the committee decemed it an unneces- sary and unwarrantable expense to employ the engineers to act in a dual capacity, inasmuch as we had implicit confidence and belleved _the citizens would hava implicit confidence in the estimates furnished by said engineers. Fstimates and all necessary data have been secured by the board of water commissioners upon three dif- ferant sources of supply, to wit: Jor- dan _brook, Gardner lake and Stony brook, and varjous plane for partial and complete development of these three sources have been submitted to the people. For reasons advanced by the engi- mneers, the Gardner lake proposition would seem the least desirable of the three propositions, and the choice of a permanent gravity supply of water ap- pears to rest between the Jordan brook watershed and the Stony brook water- shed. The committee has investigated as thoroughly as possible the respective merits of these two watersheds. Tt has had repeated interviews with the engineers. By courtesy of the mayor we attended a meeting of tha executive committee and the Dboard of water commissioners last Monday evening, ‘when the Jordan brook proposition was fully discussed. On Wednesday afternoon, Feb. 1st, the committze held a conference with about forty of the representative citi- zens of Norwich, invited to meet and confer with us, irrespective of their political affiliations or previous opin- ions upon the water question. As a result of our labors and a comparison of tha estimates upon Jordan brook | and Stony brook the committee be- lieves that the development of the Stony brook watershed s the more economical and businessiike proposi- tion for adoption. We base our con- clusions chiefly upon the following facts: Fram the analysis of the water re- cently made at Jordan brook and on record from Stony brook, from infor- mation and inspection of the water- sheds, we believe there is practically little ‘difference in the purity of the water and the absence of danger of contamination. Jordan brook has a vatershed of one and three-quarters square miles, Stony brook two and three-tenths square miles. Stony brook would therefore furnish on an average about 600,000 gallons per day in excess of Jordan brook. There are seven developed water rights affected by Jordan brook. There are two developed water rights on Stony braok, and one of these is al- ready owned by the city. Stony brook is about five miles distant from. the center of the city, Jordan brook over nine miles. Theré is a possibility of annexing additional watershed in both The cost of development with probable * damages as submitted by Chandler & Palmer favor, in our opin- ion, the Stony brook proposition. 'he opinions of at least five engi- neers, all of eminent standing, who have ‘examined our various sources of supply, and whose opinions are on rec- ord, fo wit: Blake of Boston, Allen of ‘Worcester, Shedd of Providence, Ric ards of New London and a previous report of Chandler & Palmer. all favor the Stony brook watershed as an ideal and most desirable source of supply, We would therafore, in the event of unfavorable action upon the Jordan brook proposition. recommend that thia meeting place itselt upon record as urgently requesting that tile board of water commissioners and the court of common council take such action as will afford the citizans an opportunity at the earllest practical time of ex- pressing themselves for ob against the development of the Stonv brook wa shed, and. if favorably disposed, of propriating sufficient funds for ‘the da- velopment of the same as a source of permanent supply of water for our city in accordance with plans submitted by Chandler & Palmer and designated as Plan C. Respectfully -submitted. © OLIVER L. JOHNSO JEREMIAH J. DESMOND, GROSVBNOR ELY, i P. H. HARRIMAN, M. D. Thera was long and loud applause following the completion of the com- mittee's report. .. Spoke for Jordan Brook. * Junive A, Brand esld that in his frame of mind. The people, oweser, are so set on this ?.ms'ion along paiiti- cal lines that it is like talking to & wall for a person to try to talk to one on the opposing side. He agreed with Mr. Comstock in regard, to Stony brook. At the meeting of the citizens’ com- mittee he said he had not-pledged him- elf to any project but ho thought the source of supply for the city is to the north. It will give the force required by the people who live on the hills, and they are the poor people. The Teservoir should have elevation and Jordan brook will give this while Stony brook will not. The guantity of water i8 in the direction of Jordan brook and does not lie to the west. The manufacturers do not want to Iose any of their supply and that s the force opposing. If getting a supply for today alone, 1 would say go to Stony brook; but— * Here someone interrupted with ap- lause. -Mr. Boardman, waving his and, said, No, thank you. That, gen- tlemen, s Stony brook applause. It shows ‘'you what concerted action can do. An organization can drive a crowd. Continuing on his water stitegent, he sald: If Norwich grows, fast oF slow, and I haven't lost all hopes, thé direction to go is to the north. At Stony brook they say you ‘could tap a little brook and then go to Gard- ner lake, but they don’t want you to get that. If you have got to go to the north for a watershed at all, it is better to go now. The greatest objection to Jordan brook is the litigation which you are told it will require. You have taken Meadow brook from the Falls company and paid $5.000 for it, and I guarantee they felt well paid. fl{ur]ng’ at that rate, 1 think 317,000 well within the limit for the damages. 1 think $15.000 would be 2nough. If it was a private corporation wanting the water they would settle it amicably. If they go into the courts it will cost the companies as much as it will cost you and they will desire to keep down the expense. TLooking to tha future for the supply and force, I believe in Jordan brook, which with the mill righta totals $307. 000. Stony brook with the mill rights he thought would cost:$309.000. This sum is larger_than for Jovdan brook, and if Stony brook is selected it m: be necessary to go to the north after all. He closed amidst applause. Dr. Stark Praises Jordan Brook. Dr. C. E. Stark sald we all agree on the need of water but we disagree on how or where we shall get it. The poli- ticians have buffeted us about until we are high and dry. The thought occur- red that if another source with quali- fications as good as any others was presented that the people could unite and get water. Civil Engineer Chandler when he saw Jorden brook said he was surprised, saying it would meet the needs of Norwich. Three other hy- araulic engineers have seen the brook and they say it was the best site ever offered Norwich. - After preparing his statement about Jordan brook Dr. Stark took it to Mr. Chandler for re- view and after looking it over Mr. Chandler says “Your opinion is ail right. 1 advise you to publish it Jordan-brook is clean of all politics, no politician espousas it. I believe we do not need another reservoir. Wo have two dry ones pow and do not need o three ring circus.
