H. Boardman, aithough many asked: to have Dr. Harriman continue, it being the foeling that he should be haard. It was expressed by someone in the hall, at random, that the vote would be for Stony brook anyway, and upon thgt Dr. Harriman felt willing to submit the matter, although he had intended to read the report in regard to the engi- neers' investigation of that watershed, The vote was taken on that Droposi- tlon by check list. but on the other three matters in the warning by viva voce vote. The feeling seemed fo pre- vail that while the discussion might have added some warmth to the meet- ing, the voters had come there with their minds made up and wanted Stony brook, which they secured, It now remains for the council to ap- prove the recommendation of the water board at a special or regular session, it being legal for them to do so now inasmuch as the vote of 1902, which was. against Stony brook, has ‘been rescinded, After the meeting Mayor Thayer stated that he had not decided when he would call a snecial meeting of the court and might let it go until the next regular meeting. He sald he intended to confer with the water board and learn their wishes ‘in this regard. At 8.05 o'clock Mayor Thayer called the mesting to erder and the warning wag read by City Clerk S. D. Moore, The seats were all filled and there werg several hundred standing, but the ate tendance did not reach as large a num- ber as at previeus meetings. Tihe items In the warning are as fol- lows: (1) to vote and decide whether| or not they will rascind a certain vote wor resolution passed and adopted at a city meeting held on Jan. st, 1902, re- jecting the Stony brook watershed, so- called, as a source of water supply for said city; (2) to vote and decide whether or not they wil! appropriate or authorige the appropriation of a sum of money in excess of three hundred thousand dollars (3300,000), sufficient to enable the board of water commis- sioners to increase the water supply of #ald cfty from ths said Stony brook watershed, provided sajd vote of Jan. 31, 1902, shall be rescinded; (3) to vote and decide whether or not they will au- thorige the proper city officials to ob- tain from the legislature authority to issue bonds with which to raisa money for sald purpoge: (4) to vote and decidg whether or not they will authorize the F!flfi'!’ elty officials to obtain from the egislature zuthority to issue bonds to refund the present floating debt of tha city, . Fourth Item Explained. Mayor Thayer called attention to the | fourth item in the call, which’ con- cerned the faking up of the indebted- | ness now rapresented by certificates, 1 placed this in the warning, the mayor said, because the charter commission recommended {that all the floating-debt should be bonded and not continued as a floating debt, and considered it best | te do this now rather than call a spe- | cial meeting for that purpose. i Resolution on Rescinding Former Vote, In regard to the first maiter, Cor- poration ' Counmsel Fanning presented the following preamble and resolution: Whereas, The city of Norwieh, in a legal meeting held on the 31st day of January, 1902, voted its disapproval of the plan of doveloping the Stony brook watershed and establish waterworks on sald brook until the waterworks said city had been developed to thefr fullest extent; and Whereas, Since sald date there has been an additional development of the waterworks owned by the city on/said an. 31st, 1902, and their further de- velopment would not meot the present requirements of tha eity for an ade- quate water supply. and euch further development would be inadviseble in| view of the limited watershed at Fair- view and Meadow brook; therefore, be it Resolved, That the vote passed at said city meeting held Jan. 31st. 1902, disaporoving and condemning the ac- tion of the board of water commis- sloners and of the court of common council with reference to~ develoning Stony brook. watershed and protesting against the proposed expenditure of city money therefor, be, and the same is hereby rescinded. Amos A. Browning asked if thers had been any action by the water commissioners and council. The mayor siated that they had not acted on this matter. as they hav nothing to_do with it. but the cous has passed a resolution favoring the taking of steps to zo ahead with the Stony brook supply and recommending it to the conncil. The council deferred action upon this until the city mest- ing rescinded its vote, the action of the city meeting in 1302 having been against Stopy brook. Tt would mot re- aufre arother city meeting. however, the mayor thought, after the eouncil aets in special meeting. Upon the motion to rescind the vote of 1902, the mavor sald: I am in doubt| about the right of a vote by viva vece on this, but e stated he would try it and if the feeling is all one way he helieved 1t would he safe.

A resolution presented by Corpora- the samo Area as our present sup- ply trom Fairview and Meadow brook combined. The watershed is excep- tlonally clean, having only three houses except on ita extreme summit, and one of theso would be acquired by the city and the other two are not near the brook or any tributary thereof. Much of the hillside land is wooded. The reservoir which {s proposed would have its overflow at elevation 267 or 18 1-2 fest above the overfiow of Fairview. The area of the reservoir would be 70 mcres and tha capacity 850,000,000 gallons, , With this combi- nation of storage and watershed, our estimate of the daily dependable yield is 1,500,000 gallons, and by using it in connection with our present supply it would last until we were using 65 to 60 _per cent. mora water than now, » The water will be diveried from wlg one mill and that is the Johnson witcl ;\Bfld mill, which uses about 35 feet of ail. Situated just above the proposed res- ervoir is the Palmer pond and grist- mill, now owned b& the city, This pond at present hoids about 20 mll!l:z gallons, and it the future could et for additional storage by cleaning the ‘basin and raising the dam. Our estimate of cost of developing this supply, exclusive of water rights, is $304,000," which Includes a pips line from the dam to the 16-inch pipe on ‘Washington square ,a distance of & 1t~ tle less than five miles. ‘We have recommended the uss of a 24~inch pipe most of the way, and with this plan the pressure over the city would be better than we are having from Fairview and the summits would havs better service. Amount Changed to $320,000. Corporation Counsel Fanning said that if there is no objection he would offer the resolution In a changed forny and provide for the entire outlay now and would put in the full amount now and make it $320,000. This change Wwas not objected to and was made. No One Spok ‘The mayor ealled for remarks upon the motion and no ome attempted to speak. -After & lull several cried “Question!” and the mayor called for a vote by all passing In front of the desk from the left to the right. Twenty had assembled at the desk and others about the ball were rising to their fest when Dr, Harriman addressed the meeting and those starting to vote Dalted, Dr, Harriman said Norwich had heen agitating the water question for ten years, and when the vote was taken in 1902 it was not upon the merits of Stony brook, but as to whether the city would further develop the water sup- ply already on hand. It wes decided to increase Fairview reservoir. The his- tory of the department for the past ten | years shows %the fallacy of that idea. Five or six eminent engineers have ad vocated Stony brook for years, Let- ters in the papers have told of a long tunnel through roek and the crop of stones at the brook, but he didn't be- lieve eminent engineers would advogate such plan if it is not feasible. He' said he had a report to read. Dr. Harriman Stopped. At this point the mayor questioned the privilege of Dr. Harriman to speaky inasmuch as the vote had been ordered, There were several cries of “Hear the doctor,” “Read it,” from about the hall, Albert H. Boardman rose to a point of, order and. upon request of the chair stated that it was that Dr. Harriman | had no right to present arguments atier the votinz had been ordered. The mayor said that the point was well taken and sustained it. A, T. Boon declared that the matter should be submitted to the people be- fore putting it to vote and the mayor statad that it had been. Bx-Mayor Crandall ' informed = the chair that in two of the largest pas lamentary bodies it had heen ruled that after the first vote had been taken or before the no vote was taken that ramarks were in order. Someone at the back of the hall cried out: “Well, it's Stony brook, anyway."” Under those conditions, Dr. Harri- man said, he would submit. It was'stated by the chair that the balloting would proceed and the hox for the votes was placed in position. F. J. Murtha moved that the taking of the vote be postponed for ten min- utes, but it was deelared out of order. 386 Yes, 108 No. The voting then proceeded ai $.40 and continued until 9,30, good order be- ing preserved, W. H. Shields was among the last few to cast a ballot and received much applause as he did so, The counting of the votes Was dope by the registrars of voters and oceu- pied fifteen minutes. There were 489 votes cast. of which 386 were Yes and 103 No, Ths metion was earried and the resolution adopted. This brought forth some applause. Third Propesition Voted. Tn regard to the third propositien, Clerk Moore read the following resolu- tion as proposed by Corporation Coun- :‘el Fanning. who moved its adap- on: olved. That the finanee committee of the court of common council and the citv treasurer be. and they are hereby instructed and dirseted to forth- with petition the general assembly of the state of Connmecticut, now in ses- sion, to srant te the elty of Norwich the ‘authority te jmsue ‘bonds to an amount not to sxeeed $320.000 in order to meat the expense of increasing the permanent water supply of said in accordance with the, aetion taken at tion Counsel Fanning concerning the tablishmant of the 1eservolr on Stony brook was as follows: Rasglved, That the court of common council of the oity of Norwich be, and it 15 hereby authorized to make the aporopriation of such sum, or the sev- eral sums, of monev. not to excesd in the aggregate $320,000, as may be requisite to pay ~for. acquiring and constructing & reservoir on - Btony brook for & permanent water y for sald city in accordance wl% wote' passed F'ob, §. 1911, by the board of water commissionens. of ‘the city of Norwich.. . - The resclutiofn this meeting; and S ; Resolved, That & eopy of the record of this mesting, certified by the oity elerk, be ppesented with sald petition, and the repres tives from the town of Norwieh in the Wfiw t‘l;e 7 senator from this 5 requested to eo-operate witl eity officials whove designated in the affort to have gald petition acted upon favor- ably and . the authority for sugh a | issua granted. & | Bending t %ugfilmm% sented borrowed at 4 per cent. and wome at 41-2 per cent. mmmymb- ably be wold for 4 per cent, sd that by bonding there is a slight benefit.

Edward Kirby moved that action on it be indefinitely postponed, sayinz that the loans are now with local banks and it would be a goood thing to keep the money here and let the local insti- tutions get the benefit of it. The mo- tion was put and only two voted for it, there being a strong opposition. Actlon on the resolution was then taken and almost unanimously cay- Tied. there ‘being but one vote in oppo- sition. . This completed the bmsiness of the session, and adjournment was taken at 10.05 o'clock. Throughout the meet- most of the crowd remained, and all’ seemed pleased that the question had been settled.
