LANG'S REPORT Owing to the town meeting held in the that permission had been granted T. J. Suauan to erecl a gasoline pump in front of his place of bukiness in Bath street. The reports of the chief of police, chief of the fire department, gas town .hall on Monday evening the meet- ing of the common council was called to order at' 7.30 o'clock and in a little over 30 minutes considered several im- portant items of business which includ- ed the adopting of a resolution to change the grade of the mortherly side of Main street from the Chelsea Bank building to the Triple Link, the adopting of ‘& olution making the amengments rout- ng the public service cars and estab- lishing parking places and time limit and to proceed to print the water board's annua) report without former President Walter W. Lang’s report Which it has been impossible to secure, according to the report made. Mavor H. M. Lerou called the meet- ing to order with every member pres- ent with the exception of Councilman R. C. Perry who Is yet unable to be about. The first matter of business that came before the meeting’ was the adoption of the resolution making the two proposed amendments entitled ‘An ordinance fix- ing traffic routes.for public service mo- tor vehicles within the city of Norwich and the other relating to traffic on Water and Commerce streets and in changing the time for parking on a certain section of Franklin street, a part of the city ordinance, Corporation Counsel Bdwin’W. Hig- gins made his report on his investiga- tion regarding the printing of the an- nual report of the bhoard of water éom- missioners. Mr. Higgins™Jeport was as follows: Acting by direction of your body at its last regular meeting I hand you herewith what purports to be the annwal report of the cashier, inspector and au- ditor of the board of water commission- ers which appears by vote of the counefl aprearing in the record of its meeting held on June 16, 1920, to havé been re- ferred back to said board to have the usual number of coples printed for dis- tribution. This appears as the 47th annual re- ele be board to make assessment on su pul pes he 1920. The board of water commission- ers do not apnear to have signed it and no report of the president appears. Em- ployes of the board of water comm sioners inform me that no report of the president had been feceived: that reé- peated requests have been made for such report and that the report has been in the office of the board awaiting the re- ceip® of the president's report before the usual number of coples authorized by the council were printed. Following the reading of Cerporation Counsel Higgins' report Alderman -Ar- thur 1. Peale presented a resolution to the effect that the remort of the board of water commissioners be printed with- out further delay and that as the pres- ident's report was not available it would not appear in the remort of the board.
